    An early scare as Coumba Sow is afforded loads of space and sends in a cross with England's defence stretched. It's just about hacked cleared.

    For the first time in a while, Leah Williamson is back to playing as part of a central defensive pairing.

    She's mainly been used in the midfield by Sarina Wiegman, but tonight she's returned to her more natural position.

    Will England miss not having her ball-playing abilities in the middle of the park?

    The locals have turned out in force to wave their side off to Euro 2022.

    Thousands of Swiss flags are waved as both teams emerge from the tunnel.

    There's talk of 11,000 in the ground. Fair play.

    Expectations are high for England for good reason at Euro 2022. They are in great form, they have excellent strength in depth, and Sarina Wiegman has outstanding pedigree.

    She won the Euros with the Netherlands in 2017 and reached the World Cup final with them two years later.

    However, there are five European sides ahead of England in the world rankings. I would label England, Spain and Sweden the big favourites.

    But the likes of the Netherlands, France and Germany will be dangerous as well. That's without throwing a surprise package like Denmark into the mix.

    It's set to be one of the most competitive - if not the most competitive - tournaments in women's footballing history.

    With 50 goals in 107 caps, Ellen White has earned the right to be considered the best English striker in the history of the women's game.

    She is three away from going level with Wayne Rooney, who is England's top scorer of all-time with 53 goals.

    "My first experience of a tournament was Euro 96, obviously a men's tournament, but we have these kids now whose first experience of a tournament will be a women's Euros which is scary, exciting, mind-blowing," Manchester City striker White said.

    "There is going to be some phenomenal talent on show in this Euros and for the neutral it's very exciting."

    White starts on the bench for this one after recovering from coronavirus.

    We have a good squad but I also think other countries do too. The development of the game has grown so fast so I think there are many, many favourites.

    Lifelong Arsenal fan Leah Williamson met Theo Walcott at a match in 2006

    Leah Williamson, whether she likes it or not, has become the face of England women's football.

    Having gone from being a fan and mascot for her beloved Arsenal to a key player for the Gunners, and the first name on the team sheet for her country, she feels like an impostor.

    Talk of where the women's game is heading is why Williamson is chatting with Arsenal legend Alex Scott for a BBC documentary focusing on the future of the game in this country - and the world.

    She tells Scott: "When I was younger, I was the girl that had my role models in football - you, Kel [Kelly Smith], Yanks [Rachel Yankey]. So now to be in that position, I feel - what's the word - a bit of an impostor because I don't see myself anywhere near what you guys were when you were playing.

    "Now somebody's looking up to me. They come to watch me week in, week out, so I'm a bit like, 'tough shoes to fill'."

    The teams have been out warming up for quite a while now.

    Defender Millie Bright, who was joint-top scorer at the Arnold Clark Cup alongside Spain's Alexia Putellas, has been taking part in the shooting drills throughout.

    She and Keira Walsh are the only non-forwards to do so.

    Former England international Eni Aluko on ITV: "It's another great conversation about the depth at number nine. We have three players who can play there [Alessia Russo, Bethany England, Ellen White].

    "Beth England didn't do enough in the last game. She looked a bit lost. Russo came on and did well. She deserves a chance. She has done a lot. The players like her and believe in her.

    "Ellen White is probably the first choice because of her experience but Russo deserves a shot today."

    Ana Maria Crnogorcevic: Passionate about motorcycling

    Switzerland's squad includes a professional singer, a motorbike fan, while the captain's mum used to be a belly dancing teacher.

    Defender and singer Rachel Rinast has appeared in music videos and sang Switzerland's official Euro 2017 song United in Red.

    Forward Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic plays for Barcelona and is Switzerland's record scorer.

    She is also passionate about motorcycling but is not allowed to enjoy her hobby as her contract prevents her from being on a motorcycle.

    Lia Walti's mother was a belly dancing teacher but Lia chose football at an early age.

    On Leah Williamson at centre-back: "We have tried different things - midfield and now at the back. Again we can use both options in the tournament."

    On her options: "Today can change tomorrow. I think we're pretty much in a good place. We know what opportunities we have."

    I'm grateful that I was picked for Euros - Kirby

    Fran Kirby, who starts in Zurich, says she was relieved to make the Euro 2022 squad after suffering with fatigue.

    Kirby's appearance in the friendly win over Belgium on 16 June was her first for Chelsea or England since February.

    The midfielder was never given a clear diagnosis for her condition.

    "I wouldn't say that there was fear, but there was definitely relief to get selected," said the 28-year-old.

    "I never really had in the back of my mind, 'oh my god, I'm not going to get selected for the Euros now', because I just wasn't focusing my energy feeling like that."

    Forget dolls. Valentina Giacinti always wanted to play football

    There is some great content on Euro 2022.

    The BBC Sport website has a whole page of stories, features and insight pieces on teams and players that will be appearing at the tournament. Click here to view the page.

    The Guardian have put together a complete guide to all 368 players at Euro 2022 where you click on the circular player pictures, external for a full profile.

    The one for Italy’s Valentina Giacinti is outstanding.

    "My grandmother always gave me dolls as presents, but I ripped their heads off and played football with them. My parents soon understood that I had another passion."

    I almost want Italy to win Euro 2022 for that alone.

    We know we can make an impact in England, we can give England's football a big boost, and that is what we really want to do.

    I think we're in a very good place, and we just have to show good football and do our best.

    We're now coming into a stage where we have to perform.

    During the year we had time to develop. Now we have to find out the team that's going to start, and the options we have when we want to change, and it's about performing and not trying out things any more.
