Jude Bellingham is right in the thick of things at the moment. He pops up on the left now and just glides past Yukhym Konoplya, getting a cross in but it is headed away.

He's got five of Real Madrid's eight goals so far and they absolutely love him there. He's had an instant impact.

First sight of Jude Bellingham in flight. He surges forward, weaving through one of the few gaps in the Ukraine defence and then flicks a ball forward for Bukayo Saka, who just can't quite keep it in play.

All England possession at the moment but they are needing to be patient with Ukraine holding their defensive shape well.

England, in all red, get this Euro 2024 qualifier under way.

The words of the Ukrainian national anthem fill the air, blue and yellow flags held aloft in the stands. It is stirring stuff and there's no doubt about who the majority of support is for here.

Jude Bellingham is never dull to watch,he has a great engine and has such a great influence on the game.

What a start he's had at Real Madrid.

You look at him and Declan Rice, two young players with so many years to give to this England squad, and it's so exciting.

This [England] team is very similar to the one that played against Ukraine at Wembley in March - the only change is Marc Guehi playing instead of John Stones and they won that match quite comfortably.

Just minutes to kick-offer here in Wroclaw and while The Tarczyński Arena is nowhere near full there is a huge Ukrainian contingent inside the stadium with the noise being whipped by the on-pitch announcer.

This game may not be in home territory for Ukraine but it will certainly be a home game environment.

Out come the two teams and what an atmosphere. Lots of blue and yellow in the stands as expected.

England

England boss Gareth Southgate, speaking to Channel 4 about selecting James Maddison: "He gives us a slightly different profile of player and allows us to get an extra body into midfield. He has started this season exceptionally well and he has been outstanding in training."

On his role today: "He will drift. He's clearly a player that wants to be inside so you don't want to restrict him too much in terms of his movement."

On what he saw of Jordan Henderson in training to make him select him: "His normal level. He has looked no different to how he always does with us. He started seven or eight of our World Cup games and qualifiers. His experience and leadership in a tough away venue is really important to us."

On his reaction to criticism of his move to Saudi Arabia Pro League: "I've spoken to him about it. Yesterday I was answering a lot of questions on his behalf. He understands everything but he is totally focused on wanting to help England do well."

Levi Colwill has a great calmness and he gets around the pitch so well.

He was really good at Brighton and has impressed at Chelsea.

I think he could have a big future with this England side.

Lewis Dunk is another that has been in outstanding form, his passing range is excellent.

Glad that I can finally bring my longstanding praise of Levi Colwill into an England page.

The Chelsea defender is on the bench today but it won't be long, I don't think, before he should be considered a starter. An England captain in the making.

It's a sensible pairing [Harry Maguire and Marc Guehi], given the fact there is no John Stones.

It makes sense that he has experience in Maguire and it seems that Guehi is probably next in line.

These younger players or less experienced players need to grab the jersey.

Ukraine have only lost one of their last 13 European Championship qualifiers (W9 D3), although that one defeat did come away at England in March.

This Tarczyński Arena was the venue for the recent world heavyweight title bout between Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois - and it has certainly left its mark on the playing surface here in Wroclaw.

It is a clear a fair bit of work has needed to be done to get it ready for this Euro 2024 qualifier between Ukraine and England.

The pitch looks decided patchwork in places.

Hopefully we will hear from Gareth Southgate before kick off as his team selection has certainly sparked plenty of debate.

James Maddison is in and rightly so after two goals and two assists in four games for Tottenham this season.

In contrast, Harry Maguire has played just 23 minutes of football this season...

This is England's first game in Poland since they drew 1-1 with the hosts at Warsaw's National Stadium in 2021.

Harry Kane bagged a beauty of a goal that day.
