Robert Lewandowski takes - and hammers it into the wall. It wasn't great.

Oooh, chance for Poland here. Aurelien Tchouameni fouls Przemyslaw Frankowski 25 yards from goal and gets booked too.
Free-kick in shooting range.

Chris Sutton
Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveThat wasn't a bad miss by Olivier Giroud, it was a terrible ball in from Ousmane Dembele.
He riffles the ball across. Giroud would have had the easiest of chances.

Dion Dublin
Former England striker on BBC OneI think that's a poor ball from Dembele, I think he put too much on it. It was too strong, he could have rolled it a little bit slower and Giroud just couldn't get there in time.

Poland will be very lucky if they can win this. Already France have been having many shots from, Olivier Giroud and Antoine Griezmann. They are going to need some heroics from Lewandowski and Szczesny to pull this off.

How has Olivier Giroud not scored here?!
Antoine Griezmann sets Ousmane Dembele away down the right. Dembele blasts the ball across the six-yard box and Giroud slides it wide of an empty net at the back post.
The cross was probably overhit but still.

Zooooooom. Kylian Mbappe has Przemyslaw Frankowski on toast this time with a run but a second Polish player runs in to bail Frankowski out.

Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveEncouraging for Poland. A spell of possession in the French half. Controlled possession.
They may just be beginning to feel as though they are gaining a foothold in this game.

Here is one of France's five shots, three on target, so far.

Decent spell for Poland, in so much as they have an attack, but Przemyslaw Frankowski's effort is blocked.
For once we can say Kylian Mbappe had to track back to try to stop Matty Cash too.

Brian: That Szczesny is like a hawk.
Szczesny's keeping goal is going to be key to their getting a positive result today. Also their forwards need to draw a foul from French defenders on the rare occasions they see the ball.

France right-back Jules Kounde - who you may remember from missing the start of the season because Barcelona couldn't register him - has a crack from distance but it's at the keeper.

What a moment that would have been! Poland legend Robert Lewandowski gets the ball 30 yards out and has a crack but it sails wide. You don't really think of him as a scorer of long-range goals.

France pushing for the crucial opening goal to break Poland’s resolve and force them to come forward. If they can’t score before 60 minutes, Poland’s belief levels will grow and grow.

France almost find themselves in unnecessary trouble but Dayot Upamecano tackles a Polish forward to stop the danger.

BBC Sport at Al Thumama Stadium, QatarThe France fans have found their drum and are trying to liven things up, but the atmosphere in here is pretty flat at the moment.
I think it's down to Kylian Mbappe to change that, rather than Poland.
