  Senegal's first corner of the game. Taken short, ultimately comes in, but Pickford comfortably claims that. Since the first-half save when the game was scoreless, he hasn't had much to do.

  50 mins:

  Sabaly goes to the byline and cuts it back, heading out to the box's edge. Sarr sprinting onto it, always heading for goal, but it's scuffed wide. He never looked like he'd make good contact with that.

  41 mins:

  Pickford sends a goal-kick forward, drops for Saka, and the latter goes to the byline. Kane is well placed by a low cross, but he balloons the attempt over the bar as he loses his footing. That was a fantastic opportunity.

  34 mins:

  Senegal isn't getting much of the ball, but when they do, it's with vigour. England, on the other hand, has been playing in slow motion thus far.

  Koulibaly's loose pass goes right out of play. The camera goes to Southgate on the bench, who appears to be under pressure.

  31 mins:

  Senegal ends up moving from just outside the England penalty box all the way back to Mendy in goal, thanks primarily to Henderson's one-man press. Pickford makes a crucial save! Saka gives it away, Sarr locates Dia, and he attempts a goal. Pickford has a strong hand.

  Senegal should take the initiative. Maguire gives it away, and England is on the verge of being punished.

  Dia's first effort is blocked by Stones, then Sarr beats Pickford to the rebound and lofts his shot over the bar. A real letdown.

  : Neither team has had a shot yet, and neither end of the field has had even a remote chance.

  England requests a corner, which is a fairly straightforward option, but the referees choose to look at each other for 20 seconds instead. The linesman eventually chooses to point to the corner.

  15 mins:

  Kane takes a couple kicks while holding the ball high, the last of which sends him sliding to the ground. However, no long-term harm appears to have occurred. He wriggles his way past another challenge before prodding the ball through to Shaw, but there's just too much on it.

  12 mins

  : After a fairly hectic start, England is now moving the ball about at the back and in midfield.

  Now it's Saka's turn to come forward. He arrives as well, but the ball into the box is too high for everyone.

  7 mins:

  Under pressure, Foden and Bellingham perform admirably, wriggling their way out of difficulty, and the Dortmund man wins a free-kick.

  Walker takes it short and floats it to Rice at the back post. Can't quite direct the header after lofting to the back post where Maguire is waiting.

  4 mins:

  Early indications are that Henderson will play a more advanced role in midfield for England, with the freedom to move forward and into the box.

  Senegal breaks past Dia and charges right through the Three Lions defence. As Maguire puts pressure on him, he can't quite get it under control and bobbles through to Pickford. That gave England pause.
