  1. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 62 mins

    England 1-1 Italy

    Italy have made a couple of changes of their own. Roma's Cristian Volpato is one of the new faces. Juve's Gabriele Mulazzi is also on.

    Will they make the same impact as Alex Scott?

    England 1-1 Italy

    That goal has really lifted the Young Lions.

    Another set-piece by Alife Devine - this time a free-kick - causes all sorts of problems in the Italian defence.

    England can smell victory.

    GOAL - England 1-1 Italypublished at 57 mins

    Alex Scott

    Is that his first touch?

    Moments after coming on, substitute Alex Scott powers a header beyond the keeper from Alfie Devine's corner.

    That's what you call making an impact.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 55 mins

    England 0-1 Italy

    England are making a treble change.

    Brooke Norton-Cuffy and Tim Iroegbunam make way for Alex Scott and Daniel Oyegoke. Aaron Ramsey has also made way for Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Bynoe-Gittens.

    England 0-1 Italy

    England are trying to make things happen. Carney Chukwuemeka creates space for himself inside the box but his attempt is beaten away by Sebastiano Desplanches who is having a good game.

    England 0-1 Italy

    Now England have a corner after good work by Aaron Ramsey. Liverpool's Jarell Quansah attacks it but Marco Nasti just about does enough to put him off.

    England 0-1 Italy

    Teams are allowed to make five changes. Surely Young Lions boss Ian Foster is looking at shaking things up - especially in this heat.

    Italy win themselves a corner which results in Cesare Casadei forcing a save.

    England 0-1 Italy

    Almost a catastrophe for keeper Sebastiano Desplanches who allows a ball lumped forward to bounce over his head. In the end he gets back to avert disaster.

    By reaching the last four of the European Under-19 Championship, England have automatically qualified for the Under-20 World Cup in Indonesia next year.

    It is a competition the Three Lions know well after winning it in 2017 with the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewis, Kyle Walker-Peters and Fikayo Tomori in the side.

    The 2023 edition takes place between 20 May and 11 June.

    "It’s a life-changing experience," said England boss Ian Foster.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 28 June 2022

    The Young Lions have work to do.

    Four additional minutes at the end of the half. England have grown into this after a shaky start.

  16. CLOSE!published at 45 mins

    England 0-1 Italy

    That's brilliant defending.

    The ball drops to Alfie Devine unmarked inside the area and the Tottenham man lashes it towards the net only for Samuel Giovane to stick out a leg and block it.

    More frustration for the Young Lions.

    England 0-1 Italy

    This would be the perfect time to equalise right on the stroke of half-time. Harvey Vale tries to launch another attack but his pass is intercepted deep inside Italy's half.

  18. Postpublished at 41 mins

    England 0-1 Italy

    England are finishing the half strongly. They win another corner after Sebastiano Desplanches is unable to keep the ball in play.

    It comes to nothing before another promising move comes to an end because of a handball by Dane Scarlett.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 38 mins

    England 0-1 Italy

    A huge scare for Italy!

    Alfie Devine is brought down right on the edge of the box by Sebastiano Desplanches who had come steaming off his line.

    Free-kick says the referee who shows the keeper a yellow card.

    Harvey Vale's deflected set-piece produces a fine save from Desplanches who tips it over the bar at the last moment.

    Another break in play. This time because there's a problem with one of the corner flags. The flag is on the ground.
