Italy. Your match commentators are Philip Neville and Guy Mowbray. The

:00:46.:01:14.

Italians are led by a Andrea Pirlo. Raheem Sterling are a big -- is the

:01:15.:01:23.

biggest inclusion. He is to play behind Daniel Sturridge with support

:01:24.:01:25.

from Danny Welbeck and Wayne behind Daniel Sturridge with support

:01:26.:01:28.

from Danny Welbeck and Rooney on the left. Five Liverpool players on the

:01:29.:01:30.

team. The referee is from the Netherlands.

:01:31.:01:53.

He has been highly praised for his handling of the Champions League

:01:54.:02:14.

final. Italy have been hit by the absence of Gianluigi Buffon who

:02:15.:02:21.

sprained his ankle in training. In comes Salvatore Sirigu for his ninth

:02:22.:02:28.

cap. Another injury to Mattia De Sciglio names Giorgio Chiellini will

move in. Then there is Mario Balotelli. Roy Hodgson's second

:02:41.:02:49.

World Cup in charge of a national team, the heat similar to when he

:02:50.:02:56.

led Switzerland in the USA in 1994. Matter far we, the heat is always on

:02:57.:03:04.

the head coaches of Italy and England -- metaphorically. All sat

:03:05.:03:22.

them, for the start of the World Cup for England and Italy. -- set.

:03:23.:03:35.

Engler's training camp in Miami brought more testing conditions than

:03:36.:03:45.

this. -- England. Whatever the weather, as Steven Gerrard said, the

:03:46.:03:49.

same applies to the Italians, no excuses. It starts here for England.

:03:50.:04:13.

We don't know how far they will get to go.

:04:14.:04:15.

Phil Neville is alongside me to watch them.

:04:16.:04:17.

It's always difficult, as an England supporter, to enjoy these occasions.

:04:18.:04:22.

Cahill, they have been preparing to deal

:04:23.:04:26.

We will expect quite a few of those balls for the Italian

:04:27.:04:32.

It's's so important when De Rossi and Pirlo get on the ball.

:04:33.:04:36.

They have to get them and stop the long balls over the There is time.

:04:37.:04:40.

Didn't quite get the check on it to stop the ball.

:04:41.:04:44.

Not quite as bad as we feared they might be?

:04:45.:04:54.

No, it's almost the perfect night for football.

:04:55.:04:57.

The pitch in the warm-up, it was interesting to see, they were doing

:04:58.:05:00.

shots into Joe Hart, cutting off a little bit on the left hand side.

:05:01.:05:05.

In terms of the temperature I don't think there will be complaints

:05:06.:05:08.

Cahill, looking for Daniel Sturridge.

:05:09.:05:25.

Johnson surprised at the award of a free-kick to Italy.

:05:26.:05:29.

I think it was a little kick Chiellini,

:05:30.:05:32.

Pirlo, immediately pounced upon by Welbeck.

:05:33.:05:57.

Only one place where Balotelli will play for Italy.

:05:58.:06:02.

He will be the vocal point for Italy up front.

:06:03.:06:05.

The so important for the England centre-backs to make sure they pick

:06:06.:06:08.

The Italians love to fire those low crosses in.

:06:09.:07:02.

That is why Raheem Sterling is on the team.

:07:03.:07:26.

One minute we are defending on the box, next we are counter-attacking.

:07:27.:07:31.

Important he dribbles past those Italian midfield players.

:07:32.:07:37.

They are not the quickest, not the most mobile.

:07:38.:07:40.

What is Steven Gerrard say, no excuse, no regrets.

:07:41.:07:43.

Well, Raheem Sterling has gone for the third.

:07:44.:07:46.

Rooney, didn't quite get there quickly enough.

:07:47.:07:54.

The referee is not impressed with the fall of the Italian.

:07:55.:08:02.

Keeping the front four and Sterling behind Wayne Rooney will interchange

:08:03.:08:05.

with Sterling tonight and Welbeck as well.

:08:06.:08:07.

There is a lot of flexibility up there.

:08:08.:08:19.

Sterling across to try to get close to Pirlo.

:08:20.:08:21.

Chiellini has given it away to Welbeck.

:08:22.:08:29.

Welbeck is the best in England in dispossessing defenders.

:08:30.:08:38.

Roy seems to trust him to do a good job.

:08:39.:08:50.

England on the front foot from the start here.

:08:51.:09:22.

It is so important that Leighton Baines doesn't commit

:09:23.:09:35.

There is one for the collector's book, a Pirlo misplaced pass.

:09:36.:10:09.

Our wide players have got some job to do tonight.

:10:10.:10:21.

Need to make sure we keep getting to De Rossi, Pirlo in there.

:10:22.:10:32.

Here is Marco Verratti, Pirlo's error apparent -- heir apparent

:10:33.:10:35.

Glen Johnson lucky there, the Italian players around the referee,

:10:36.:11:40.

Arms clamped down by his side, I think that was his saving grace.

:11:41.:12:08.

Need to be disciplined, stay with runners.

:12:09.:12:16.

So much for the heat of the tropical rainforest stifling the

:12:17.:12:19.

0-0 is many people's bet for the scoreline, and it is

:12:20.:12:25.

Johnson and Jagielka combine to somehow get

:12:26.:12:34.

Wayne Rooney has got to help Leighton Baines out a little more.

:12:35.:12:52.

That is the first we have really seen from Wayne Rooney,

:12:53.:12:55.

and it was a lovely ball out for well back -- Danny Welbeck.

:12:56.:13:08.

He wanted that fired across the near post from Glen Johnson.

:13:09.:13:31.

Darmian, an impressive start for the right back.

:13:32.:13:39.

Every time Pirlo gets the ball, Jordan Henderson is on him,

:13:40.:13:44.

not letting him have any time on the ball.

:13:45.:13:46.

Italy having more of the ball at the moment.

:13:47.:14:07.

We saw how important that was in recent seasons, and it will be

:14:08.:14:10.

important here, counterattack seems to be the order of the season.

:14:11.:14:21.

So important that one of the two centre-back is,

:14:22.:14:24.

Sterling was on the move, into a good position but lost possession.

:14:25.:14:49.

Rooney only temporarily when it that.

:14:50.:14:51.

Italy very nearly caught out by being too casual

:14:52.:15:01.

Set the first pass has got to go into Daniel Sturridge.

:15:02.:15:49.

He asked a lot of Balotelli there, but he managed to control it.

:15:50.:15:52.

Just at the moment, England seem to be doing a lot of chasing.

:15:53.:15:55.

It is an Italy's right where they seem to be causing us

:15:56.:15:58.

Chiellini has spent more time in England's half than his own.

:15:59.:16:32.

He doesn't need much to whip that ball in.

:16:33.:16:42.

Sturridge has to stay onside, takes on Paletta.

:16:43.:16:47.

They managed to squeeze out Sturridge in the end.

:16:48.:16:58.

That is where we want him, dragging the player out into the wide areas.

:16:59.:17:16.

Danny Welbeck is doing a good job on this right-hand side, tucking in.

:17:17.:17:22.

Danny Welbeck can't take the free from there.

:17:23.:17:46.

It is all going on on the left-hand side, Leighton

:17:47.:17:55.

For the first time tonight, we can hear the England fans over the

:17:56.:18:33.

general excitement of the neutrals in the crowd, and the Italians.

:18:34.:18:36.

We have been talking to the England fans in recent days, so many of

:18:37.:18:39.

Supporters go all over the world to these major competitions.

:18:40.:18:44.

Maybe for once they won't be disappointed heading home.

:18:45.:19:09.

He doesn't mind having a go with the left foot.

:19:10.:19:23.

I think when England were in possession, the first-pass needs

:19:24.:19:25.

to be on the other side of the pitch, that is where the space is.

:19:26.:20:05.

England are in good shape, they have men behind the ball.

:20:06.:20:28.

Italy content to knock it about, and England content to keep the mayor.

:20:29.:20:31.

Pirlo can change that in an instant, of course.

:20:32.:20:38.

Every one of those halls in has been nice and easy from Joe Hart so far.

:20:39.:20:51.

It is the position of Candreva that is causing us problems, looking

:20:52.:20:54.

There is going to be a free kick for something

:20:55.:21:06.

He can be erratic in his challenges at times.

:21:07.:21:23.

In the World Cup games we have seen so

:21:24.:21:38.

This one has had a slow elder will stop -- a slower build-up.

:21:39.:22:18.

I think the neutrals are slightly in favour of Italy.

:22:19.:22:23.

They are not hurting us at the moment.

:22:24.:22:33.

From a distance, it might have swerved.

:22:34.:22:37.

Candreva is picking it up again in that position, inside right.

:22:38.:22:52.

I wouldn't be surprised if Roy Hodgson is thinking about swapping

:22:53.:22:55.

Rooney does not look comfortable out there at the moment.

:22:56.:23:08.

A good combination between Johnson and Cahill.

:23:09.:23:20.

Jagielka scored the last time these two nations met

:23:21.:23:22.

Very much mix and match teams by both.

:23:23.:23:34.

In competitive meetings, Italy have the edge.

:23:35.:23:41.

In three major tournament games, they have won them all.

:23:42.:23:57.

Sterling is just swapping with Rooney, and he is on the left now.

:23:58.:24:03.

All he wants to do is touch it to the side and cross.

:24:04.:24:29.

It's a low cross as well, for Balotelli.

:24:30.:24:36.

Much made of England's defence being the most suspect area of the squad.

:24:37.:24:39.

But Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka are unbeaten

:24:40.:24:44.

Neither have suffered defeat at any competitive international

:24:45.:24:47.

I don't think he would have quite of reached it anyway.

:24:48.:25:31.

Good defending in the end from Paletta.

:25:32.:25:32.

We need Raheem Sterling, down the little sides.

:25:33.:25:37.

We have seen already they are not comfortable in those situations.

:25:38.:25:42.

It all started with a surging run from Jordan Henderson.

:25:43.:25:44.

We have seen that with Liverpool this season.

:25:45.:25:46.

His energy in midfield will be vital tonight.

:25:47.:26:08.

Varetti had a little pop at Sterling in the middle, a few

:26:09.:26:10.

Sterling's abilities just starting to rattle him a little bit.

:26:11.:26:13.

When we looked at the Italian team, two or three days ago, it looked an

:26:14.:26:17.

Now it looks inexperienced, that is their weakest part of their team.

:26:18.:26:22.

Doesn't trouble his old Manchester City colleague, Joe Hart.

:26:23.:26:36.

You can't let Mario Balotelli do that, come off and turn.

:26:37.:26:38.

It was so very nearly an England goal.

:26:39.:27:12.

Wonderful third man run from Danny Welbeck.

:27:13.:27:14.

Down those side channels England look dangerous.

:27:15.:27:28.

They don't look comfortable defending in the wide areas,

:27:29.:27:30.

Didn't see that come through the pack, Wayne Rooney.

:27:31.:27:45.

I think if he had he would have had a tap-in at the far post.

:27:46.:27:51.

Daniel Sturridge got a bit of a nick on it.

:27:52.:27:54.

It was a good opportunity for England.

:27:55.:28:04.

Leighton Baines, the coolest player on the park.

:28:05.:28:13.

Good opportunity to put pressure on the Italian number two.

:28:14.:28:26.

It was Wayne Rooney round the back again.

:28:27.:28:35.

Jagielka blocked Wayne Rooney's man so he could be free at the far post.

:28:36.:28:44.

Chiellini, making ground on the left again.

:28:45.:29:08.

Glen Johnson making good with the tackle.

:29:09.:29:14.

What we will see in this game, particularly in the second-half,

:29:15.:29:18.

both teams will play in little bursts.

:29:19.:29:20.

Rooney asked a lot of Raheem Sterling there.

:29:21.:29:42.

He got to it a fraction ahead of Matteo Darmian.

:29:43.:29:47.

Assessment of Sterling's performance so far?

:29:48.:29:50.

Looks like the one that will unlock the door, in terms of his

:29:51.:29:55.

I think it's interesting with when Pirlo gets the ball.

:29:56.:30:05.

Every time he gets it he looks to feed Candreva or Balotelli.

:30:06.:30:16.

Not many players in world football can do that.

:30:17.:30:53.

Leighton Baines and Wayne Rooney are having a heated discussion.

:30:54.:31:12.

Don't think they have worked out that problem yet,

:31:13.:31:14.

Steven Gerrard was just pointing, looking at Wayne Rooney

:31:15.:31:20.

The other touchline where Joe Hart has just put that.

:31:21.:31:26.

I think it might a good idea for Roy Hodgson to switch Henderson

:31:27.:31:29.

Henderson could maybe close off the pass to Candreva.

:31:30.:31:40.

Trying to bulldoze his way past Glen Johnson.

:31:41.:31:47.

Before the game we spoke of attacking and going for the jugular.

:31:48.:31:50.

I think this was always going to be a tight, cagey affair.

:31:51.:31:56.

The Italians don't open up that much.

:31:57.:32:16.

Sterling able to keep it, immediately bursting into action.

:32:17.:32:20.

Doesn't need much space to find a trick to get past defenders.

:32:21.:32:29.

Taking lots of touches and taking the ball up to him.

:32:30.:32:33.

Heavy on the legs when someone is running at you constantly.

:32:34.:32:35.

It looks like that is what he has been told to do.

:32:36.:32:41.

They always like looking at people in the warm-up, or in

:32:42.:33:03.

This is just a run-of-the-mill game in the park with his mates.

:33:04.:33:10.

No pressure out there for Andrea Pirlo.

:33:11.:33:19.

His autobiography - I Think, Therefore I Play.

:33:20.:33:24.

Plays the game and dictates the game at his own place.

:33:25.:33:37.

When he is on the ball and everyone is running he makes it

:33:38.:33:40.

Marchisio was forced to tackle from an angle that is not permitted.

:33:41.:34:00.

The Italian team now have dropped off.

:34:01.:34:02.

Gerrard, missed by Welbeck, nearly went through to Sturridge.

:34:03.:34:16.

Chiellini has had enough of the upstart.

:34:17.:34:21.

Sterling is not respecting reputation though,

:34:22.:34:23.

Chiellini, one of the toughest defenders I've played against.

:34:24.:34:31.

If the ball is there to be won, he'll take ball and man with it.

:34:32.:34:41.

Your old fashioned Italian centre-back for a defender.

:34:42.:35:02.

He did well there Jagielka, struck close to Balotelli.

:35:03.:35:20.

Tackled by De Rossi, who argues that he won the ball.

:35:21.:35:26.

He did do that, but he won the ball with both of his feet.

:35:27.:35:29.

Rooney says it is a two-footed challenge.

:35:30.:35:35.

I don't think he went in with his studs up.

:35:36.:35:40.

I say, just a free-kick, it might turn out to be

:35:41.:35:50.

a little more if Steven Gerrard can conjure something up.

:35:51.:35:53.

Italy are definitely looking to dominate that central midfield.

:35:54.:36:21.

Balotelli is isolated on his own upfront.

:36:22.:36:35.

Darmian has pushed forward from right back.

:36:36.:36:37.

Definitely a problem that England need to sort out at half-time.

:36:38.:37:00.

You have played with Wayne Rooney often enough, Phil,

:37:01.:37:02.

would you say it's an uncomfortable position for him?

:37:03.:37:06.

It's a position he has played a lot for Manchester United over

:37:07.:37:09.

He has been played there tonight because he can counter-attack

:37:10.:37:19.

Darmian is causing them all sort of problems.

:37:20.:37:23.

Playing high and Candreva coming into that pocket behind him.

:37:24.:37:25.

Marchisio, the shot ball to Candreva.

:37:26.:37:33.

It seems as though the wind is with the Italians, just at the moment.

:37:34.:37:42.

Just starting to find the little holes in

:37:43.:37:44.

It has been coming the last two or three minutes.

:37:45.:38:20.

again. Full vision, dummy the ball on the edge of the box.

:38:21.:38:24.

Marchisio had a lot to do still from that position.

:38:25.:38:27.

I think it went through the legs of two or three England defenders.

:38:28.:38:47.

I think when the Italians on the edge of the box, particularly

:38:48.:38:52.

Marchisio, he got a wonderful shot, you have to close them down quicker.

:38:53.:39:04.

Claudio Marchisio's first major tournament goal.

:39:05.:39:19.

Likes them even more when they fly in like that.

:39:20.:39:25.

It is the position of Candreva when he comes in off the side.

:39:26.:39:58.

Leighton Baines doesn't want to go in.

:39:59.:40:08.

I was talking a short time ago about his 360-degree vision.

:40:09.:40:29.

I don't know how you would hear a shout from a colleague

:40:30.:40:31.

in this noise, but he knew exactly where Marchisio

:40:32.:40:34.

Sturridge is in the middle, a good ball from Rooney,

:40:35.:40:39.

Sterling, Rooney, Sturridge, England one, Italy one.

:40:40.:41:08.

A wonderful cross, the first cross we have got into night.

:41:09.:41:14.

He was frustrated three or four minutes ago with the amount

:41:15.:41:20.

of defending that has to be done, and that is what he is in the team

:41:21.:41:24.

He has scored in three of his last four England appearances now.

:41:25.:41:51.

There is concern in the aftermath of the goal, because there was

:41:52.:41:54.

I think the physio is under that pile.

:41:55.:41:57.

It is suspected that he has injured his leg really badly, really badly.

:41:58.:42:14.

England's players can't, however harsh it seems,

:42:15.:42:16.

Chiellini was nowhere to be seen in that cross, and as a fallback,

:42:17.:42:21.

A first-time finish from Daniel Sturridge.

:42:22.:42:28.

Scored a superb goal against Djourou, but this matters

:42:29.:42:41.

Anything can happen when everybody jumps on top of each other.

:42:42.:43:12.

Sturridge loses the ball to Marchisio.

:43:13.:43:17.

It is not often you see the physio carried off himself.

:43:18.:43:24.

He was so long England's manager on the touchline.

:43:25.:43:37.

We are told it is a suspected broken ankle,

:43:38.:43:40.

Our thoughts are with Gary at the moment.

:43:41.:43:59.

Marchisio, well controlled by Balotelli.

:44:00.:44:29.

The flag is up, and England free kick.

:44:30.:44:32.

The reorganisation on the bench continues.

:44:33.:44:37.

He was offside when Rooney was in the left-back position there.

:44:38.:44:48.

There is clearly a problem out there with Candreva's position.

:44:49.:45:18.

That was brilliant there from Danny Welbeck.

:45:19.:45:24.

Trying to stop these three midfield players, possession,

:45:25.:45:26.

The centre-backs have done well so far, Mario Balotelli looks

:45:27.:46:03.

Trying to get the ball away to safety.

:46:04.:46:20.

That is out to Sturridge almost what a ball.

:46:21.:46:40.

That is the perfect position for Daniel Sturridge,

:46:41.:46:42.

People like Pirlo are vastly experienced.

:46:43.:47:24.

That is the fifth cross that is Pirlo has

:47:25.:47:33.

Leighton Baines is looking frustrated at left-back.

:47:34.:47:51.

An opportunity for Italy, Darmian again.

:47:52.:48:22.

Beating Leighton Baines, no cover inside from Steven Gerrard.

:48:23.:48:27.

They will be hoping to get through to half-time now with

:48:28.:48:29.

Gabriel Paletta finds Giorgio Chiellini.

:48:30.:49:05.

Two minutes added onto the end of the first half.

:49:06.:49:16.

All 11 players behind the ball, giving the Italians no space to go

:49:17.:49:20.

through the middle, encouraging the ball to go wide.

:49:21.:49:34.

Pirlo, hammered away by Jagielka.

:49:35.:49:45.

I think what England have shown in this first half is plenty

:49:46.:50:00.

Gerard didn't find his usual range there, straight to Marchisio

:50:01.:50:14.

That was a brilliant attempt, and fantastic defending from

:50:15.:50:33.

Hart did well not to commit himself there, could have caused a penalty.

:50:34.:51:03.

I thought for a split-2nd that was to sneak in.

:51:04.:51:09.

Dan goes Verratti, and Dan goes Sterling.

:51:10.:51:17.

And there goes the half-time whistle.

:51:18.:51:21.

England and Italy at each other from the very start.

:51:22.:51:34.

There is so much to talk about. That was the biggest problem in the first

:51:35.:52:26.

half, the problem is that Antonio Candreva causes down the right-hand

:52:27.:52:32.

side. Raheem Sterling will continue where he was, down the middle. Glen

:52:33.:52:44.

Johnson. Wayne Rooney. Leighton Baines. Daniel Sturridge, and nice

:52:45.:52:57.

ball into Danny Welbeck, back to Wayne Rooney. He gets it clear. We

:52:58.:53:07.

have seen Wayne Rooney coming off that right-hand side, more touches.

:53:08.:53:15.

He could have an easier job with Claudio Marchisio. He is getting

:53:16.:53:21.

into areas where you do not want to go as a fullback, that was the

:53:22.:53:22.

problem in the first half. Danny Welbeck perhaps

:53:23.:53:31.

a little lucky, Jagielka,

:53:32.:53:33.

all the way back to Joe Hart. 24 goals so far in this World Cup

:53:34.:53:47.

in six and a half games. That was a good spin from

:53:48.:54:03.

Mario Balotelli. De Rossi didn't spot him early

:54:04.:54:21.

enough, or he would have been in. Sturridge wins the throw,

:54:22.:54:26.

conceded by Paletta. I think it has played better

:54:27.:54:41.

than we thought, though. Daniel Sturridge has gone in

:54:42.:54:51.

for a shot here. Positivity again from the England

:54:52.:55:18.

number nine Positive from England

:55:19.:55:19.

at the start of the second half. It has gone deep towards Rooney,

:55:20.:55:28.

and he couldn't get it. This definitely looks like

:55:29.:55:53.

a thing England have worked on. Darmian is always lying in wait,

:55:54.:56:33.

ready for the opportunity to get halfway if he can full top and

:56:34.:56:39.

Balotelli is going to get there! Something just told us he would play

:56:40.:56:43.

a part tonight. You're expecting Glen Johnson

:56:44.:57:02.

to be behind him covering. Not managed to pick up

:57:03.:57:17.

Candreva or stop the cross. Just as he would have wanted it,

:57:18.:57:32.

that cross. Perfection from Candreva,

:57:33.:57:36.

a lovely finish from Balotelli, I suspect some of you might have

:57:37.:57:38.

been thinking about going to bed as the pace dropped a little, but

:57:39.:57:46.

there is plenty left in this match. Sterling retrieves,

:57:47.:57:52.

took it away from Pirlo. Gerard was actually tripped

:57:53.:58:09.

by the referee there. I think it was the way that

:58:10.:58:24.

Daniel Sturridge went down. Going back to the goal,

:58:25.:58:33.

as a full-back you have got to cover So difficult for a centre-back

:58:34.:58:36.

when the ball is in Mario Balotelli pulled

:58:37.:58:48.

off his shoulder. They are trying to slow it

:58:49.:58:59.

down a bit. Now we are seeing two Italian

:59:00.:59:07.

midfield players dropping in. I think it was

:59:08.:59:20.

the way Danny went down that went Chiellini did seem to bundle him

:59:21.:59:28.

a little carelessly. Sometimes when you go

:59:29.:59:39.

down you get the penalty, Bjorn Kuipers is not

:59:40.:59:42.

a referee to easily be deceived. In goes Gerard,

:59:43.:00:11.

crunching into Verratti. It is hard to cut it back from that

:00:12.:00:21.

sort of angle, but insist that Wayne Rooney will get himself into

:00:22.:00:24.

this game a bit more in this half. He has asked his players to drive

:00:25.:00:35.

directly at the Italian back four. Italy are in possession,

:00:36.:00:38.

allowing Darmian to get forward. He is playing almost

:00:39.:00:51.

as a wing-back at times. Glen Johnson is on to that,

:00:52.:00:55.

but it was cleared by De Rossi. Steven Gerrard to find Johnson

:00:56.:01:21.

again. We didn't see them push on

:01:22.:01:25.

like this in the first half much. They never seem to be far

:01:26.:01:30.

from each other, those two. That cross

:01:31.:01:33.

from Glen Johnson there was crying He didn't expect

:01:34.:01:35.

the cross to be fired so quickly. It is perhaps the one bit

:01:36.:01:55.

of ruthlessness missing from Glen Johnson is probably going to

:01:56.:02:01.

get forward more in this five or ten minutes than

:02:02.:02:11.

in the whole of the first half. Prandelli is blinking first

:02:12.:02:19.

in terms of substitutions. Cahill back to his feet after

:02:20.:02:32.

a coming together in the centre. Steven Gerrard is onto it again

:02:33.:02:37.

but can't go any further. Steven Gerrard wasn't appealing

:02:38.:02:42.

for a penalty there. It was the reaction from Steven

:02:43.:02:55.

Gerrard that I was looking at. Should he have been appealing

:02:56.:03:05.

for it? Marco Verratti, 21 years old,

:03:06.:03:19.

has had a royal tussle with Prandelli is brilliant

:03:20.:03:22.

at his game management. He changes things around to nullify

:03:23.:03:46.

the strength of the opposition. I think he might have put Potter

:03:47.:03:49.

in -- Thiago Motta Balotelli is caught quite

:03:50.:03:52.

a way offside. We could be looking

:03:53.:04:11.

at a performance at the moment is crying out for another

:04:12.:04:28.

midfield player to go in there. A bit of an exchange between him

:04:29.:04:38.

and Chiellini, Ross Barkley seems to have got the

:04:39.:04:42.

call to get his warm up intensified. It is going to be another positive

:04:43.:04:59.

substitution from Roy Hodgson. England putting another

:05:00.:05:12.

forward-thinking player on. Fill in the middle

:05:13.:05:25.

of the pitch a little bit better. It is a goal kick,

:05:26.:05:28.

and Sturridge doesn't think it Just a quick word about

:05:29.:05:32.

Mario Balotelli. Do you think there is a

:05:33.:05:45.

maturing to his game now? Speed,

:05:46.:05:48.

you wouldn't want face him one-on-one. It is just putting it

:05:49.:05:57.

together on the main stage. He is the focal point for the

:05:58.:06:00.

Italian team, the person they look for the free passes, an extra added

:06:01.:06:03.

response received this he enjoys all He got engaged on Tuesday to

:06:04.:06:12.

his Belgian girlfriend, so maybe If this carries on, Mario Balotelli

:06:13.:06:15.

will be the toast of Italy again. Joe Hart had to ignore the run

:06:16.:06:45.

of his former Manchester City He needs to make sure that he

:06:46.:06:48.

is not peeling off the corner. A demand for the ball there

:06:49.:07:03.

from Johnson. That was a good effort from

:07:04.:07:05.

Danny Welbeck. It was

:07:06.:07:31.

a two versus one situation here . And Danny Welbeck is

:07:32.:07:40.

going to make way. He has done his bit,

:07:41.:07:45.

and now it is Ross Barkley's turn. The 20-year-old Everton player,

:07:46.:07:49.

seven England appearance, We know what he is capable of

:07:50.:07:53.

if he shows it He is the player that everyone was

:07:54.:07:57.

calling for to be selected, and I think Roy Hodgson did well not

:07:58.:08:12.

to select into early. Raheem Sterling has come out on this

:08:13.:08:18.

side in place of Danny Welbeck. He turned Paletta nicely,

:08:19.:08:28.

but he will have to do it again. Slid passed there by Leighton Baines

:08:29.:08:42.

and the keeper has gone to his left hand side and Wayne Rooney

:08:43.:08:56.

put it back through the legs He is back in his central position

:08:57.:08:59.

now, Wayne Rooney, You can feel the anguish of Roy

:09:00.:09:21.

and Ray. I think as an attacking force I

:09:22.:09:24.

think they've created a lot of chances and problems

:09:25.:09:27.

for the Italian back four tonight. Sturridge was hoping for the Italian

:09:28.:09:30.

defender to be switched off Barkley,

:09:31.:09:32.

not quite quick enough into Pirlo. Then there was a double block,

:09:33.:09:42.

Jagielka and Cahill were on guard. Sirigu beats it clear,

:09:43.:10:39.

not for the first time tonight. The counter-attack, so important

:10:40.:10:46.

for us to commit Daniele De Rossi. He doesn't look comfortable

:10:47.:10:51.

in one-to-one situations. Ross Barkley will not be overawed

:10:52.:10:53.

by this occasion. Particularly the goal he scored

:10:54.:11:05.

against Manchester City. It's a moment of - I've arrived,

:11:06.:11:14.

fantastic in the warm-up games A penny for his thoughts,

:11:15.:11:17.

you should know them! He will be looking to keep that

:11:18.:11:24.

forward, keep counter-attacking. That final shot we just

:11:25.:11:36.

need to get better. Temperature not deemed hot enough to

:11:37.:11:39.

have a cooling break, to avoid the When the temperature gets to 32

:11:40.:11:46.

degrees there will be one break each The players able to take

:11:47.:12:01.

on drinks in every break possible His body language tells you,

:12:02.:12:08.

give me that ball. Sterling who has had

:12:09.:12:24.

the cramp stretched out of himself. Good skill again from

:12:25.:12:47.

Raheem Sterling. Wayne Rooney had just pulled up

:12:48.:13:02.

into the penalty spot. So effective

:13:03.:13:04.

from these positions against Peru in England again looking

:13:05.:13:16.

for that delivery to the far post. We saw this

:13:17.:13:35.

in the first half where there are Players just getting

:13:36.:14:25.

their energy back. The game is played

:14:26.:14:29.

in little bursts of speed. What do England need to

:14:30.:14:38.

do to recover this? It would be a huge blow losing

:14:39.:14:41.

the opening game. Possibly one that England

:14:42.:14:43.

wouldn't recover from. Candreva again

:14:44.:14:45.

on that right hand side. He's habitually the best player

:14:46.:15:01.

tonight. We have not picked him

:15:02.:15:03.

up all evening. Going back to your point

:15:04.:15:05.

about what England have to do. Committing more men into the box

:15:06.:15:07.

when we are putting crosses in. Some of our attacking play has

:15:08.:15:12.

been really good at times. Sterling wasn't able to turn

:15:13.:15:26.

his head to see him. Mario Balotelli,

:15:27.:15:32.

when you are up front on your own, when you clear the ball, you need

:15:33.:15:49.

the centre forward to sit with him. The referee has got most

:15:50.:15:52.

decisions right tonight. In a tournament so far when we

:15:53.:16:05.

have not seen the best referees. Common sense giving us a European

:16:06.:16:08.

referee to take this No yellow game. I don't think we have had

:16:09.:16:11.

a game yet with not one caution. Sticking rigidly the England

:16:12.:16:25.

captain to that deep line role. Would you

:16:26.:16:30.

like to see him get forward more? There is time later

:16:31.:16:35.

in the game to gamble more. We need to keep possession,

:16:36.:16:38.

keep probing. Here is Johnson,

:16:39.:16:41.

wandered into the crowd. Back into that back four to make

:16:42.:16:58.

a back five. We see it so often with the Italian

:16:59.:17:01.

teams. Got

:17:02.:17:05.

the ball again to find Henderson. It is in these areas where we

:17:06.:17:28.

need to find the right pass now. I thought there was a rule about not

:17:29.:17:37.

making a substitution at a corner. Jack Wilshere is ready and Italy

:17:38.:17:58.

has a replacement as well. I think both teams are

:17:59.:18:00.

going to hold on. Leighton Baines hasn't been

:18:01.:18:14.

given that message yet. The first time we have varied

:18:15.:18:16.

our corners. The four corners have got to

:18:17.:18:29.

the far post. Cahill made

:18:30.:18:35.

a fantastic run there against Something else

:18:36.:18:37.

a little different now. Goes him

:18:38.:18:39.

self rather than shifting it. Wasn't quite sure it was

:18:40.:18:47.

going past his post. It was a similar makeup to

:18:48.:18:51.

the Marchisio goal. The England staff,

:18:52.:18:53.

down on the bench there, screaming at the midfield players to

:18:54.:19:01.

keep the ball moving quick. Don't let the Italians settle

:19:02.:19:04.

in possession. It might prove to be the man who

:19:05.:19:07.

wins the game for Italy, but he Ciro Immobile, who had

:19:08.:19:13.

a fantastic campaign for Torino. Jordan Henderson will be replaced

:19:14.:19:24.

by Jack Wilshere. A positive change from Roy Hodgson

:19:25.:19:33.

again. No need now to have two defensive

:19:34.:20:01.

midfield players in there. Jack Wilshere loves driving

:20:02.:20:04.

forward with a ball. Great combination lay play with

:20:05.:20:05.

Ross Barkley. We saw that last week

:20:06.:20:07.

in the friendly against Honduras. Just under 17 minutes left

:20:08.:20:10.

on the clock. England 1,

:20:11.:20:12.

Italy 2 in the heart of the Amazon. You have De Rossi dropping

:20:13.:20:14.

into the back three now. Telling his team to play with

:20:15.:20:16.

more speed, they are passing No need

:20:17.:20:44.

for England to go forcing the play. There is still lots of time left

:20:45.:21:38.

on the clock. Leighton Baines on one side

:21:39.:21:40.

and Sterling on the touchline. England have great width

:21:41.:21:44.

on the pitch now. Try to stretch

:21:45.:21:47.

the Italian back five, which it is. Sturridge met strongly

:21:48.:21:56.

and unfairly by Chiellini. Came through the back of

:21:57.:22:02.

Daniel Sturridge. That is what you do when you work

:22:03.:22:09.

the ball side to side and you are patient you can get the slide

:22:10.:22:13.

passes in to Daniel Sturridge. As a defender they can be fire

:22:14.:22:15.

burners when you are working Do you feel like Chiellini did there

:22:16.:22:20.

the frustration and you rush in You are consistently moving,

:22:21.:22:25.

sometimes you go looking Particularly someone like Chiellini

:22:26.:22:33.

who likes to feel men against him. From the experience you would go for

:22:34.:22:37.

Gerrard on the side of the field. This is the side

:22:38.:22:47.

of the pitch that he likes. Corred scored two goals against

:22:48.:22:54.

West Ham, both And cleared the wall

:22:55.:22:55.

but couldn't beat Sirigu. It's funny, the referee puts

:22:56.:23:17.

the imaginary line down there. The Italians were a yard in front

:23:18.:23:27.

of it by the time that He's made one goal, other than that,

:23:28.:23:30.

it has not really been his night. I think the turf gave way

:23:31.:23:46.

on that left hand side. There isn't anything

:23:47.:23:56.

you can do about that. Because we are committing

:23:57.:24:06.

so many men forward we have to be What can Italy do,

:24:07.:24:09.

as they pick up the pace and try Candreva is coming off, and Marco

:24:10.:24:19.

Parolo will go on. Parolo is 29, age range going up, but this is only his

:24:20.:25:36.

fifth international appearance of Italy. Candreva has made it

:25:37.:25:42.

impossible for Leighton Baines on this left-hand side. And England go

:25:43.:25:54.

like for like with the change of their own. Daniel Sturridge who

:25:55.:26:03.

doesn't look to be moving 100% freely as he goes off, and Adam

:26:04.:26:05.

Lallana is coming on for his Adam Lallana has gone into this

:26:06.:26:08.

left-hand side position, the There are three white shirts in the

:26:09.:26:57.

middle, but there is nobody there. They are getting into good

:26:58.:27:30.

positions. Good opportunities to fire that ball across or make that

:27:31.:27:33.

final pass. Sirigu let himself down with that pass, he played it

:27:34.:27:36.

straight out. Another throw-in down in the corner.

:27:37.:28:08.

When you get to the last ten minutes, there are always

:28:09.:28:12.

opportunities, particularly in this heat. There could be a lack of

:28:13.:28:15.

attention. They just have to be patient and wait for that

:28:16.:28:18.

opportunity. Barkley bottles away from Immobile. This is good stuff

:28:19.:28:34.

from Cahill. It is always the worry when you commit so many men forward.

:28:35.:28:54.

The threat of counterattack from They will have to handle defending

:28:55.:28:57.

one against one at the back. Jagielka can do that, he has

:28:58.:29:09.

experience. All of a sudden,

:29:10.:29:22.

crosses coming in from that part It is all from that area,

:29:23.:29:24.

and nothing is working. People back home will probably look

:29:25.:29:36.

at that area of the pitch and think They were working

:29:37.:29:39.

on the pitch yesterday, A few England players now

:29:40.:29:46.

suffering from cramp. The England supporters

:29:47.:30:14.

in the crowd in contemplative mood. I think at times tonight,

:30:15.:30:21.

the attacking players have been They have created really

:30:22.:30:24.

good opportunities. Joe Hart ordering Gary Cahill to

:30:25.:30:40.

get up and carry on playing! England need to get the game going

:30:41.:30:44.

as quickly as they can again. Lallana is brought down,

:30:45.:30:54.

De Rossi went in. Another England opportunity

:30:55.:30:57.

from the free kick. Rooney has the ball in his hands and

:30:58.:31:00.

doesn't look as if he wants to let Lallana has that ability to turn

:31:01.:31:04.

on either foot. Who wins this argument,

:31:05.:31:22.

captain or Number ten? It looks

:31:23.:31:27.

like Steven Gerrard fancies this. Those Italian feet shuffling over

:31:28.:31:38.

the white line again, There is still time,

:31:39.:31:43.

they have to keep probing. Lots has been said

:31:44.:32:19.

about the spirit in the camp. This is a big test for this team, a

:32:20.:32:34.

goal down with five minutes to go. Trapped by sterling,

:32:35.:32:46.

and how did he get out of that? Pirlo plays the game at walking

:32:47.:32:58.

speed at times, we have not seen Immobile hasn't touched the ball

:32:59.:33:12.

since he came on, it is as if he Ross Barkley is looking at Rooney

:33:13.:33:24.

as if to say, that was mine. There was an opportunity

:33:25.:33:48.

on the right-hand side, Raheem He was on his weaker foot well,

:33:49.:33:50.

Wayne Rooney. Italy are just retreating

:33:51.:34:32.

by the minute. They need to keep

:34:33.:34:42.

the ball moving quick. It is very difficult as a defender

:34:43.:34:44.

to pick that kind of movement up. And that was sliced behind

:34:45.:35:04.

by Barzagli. There was a period before when

:35:05.:35:10.

the momentum was growing for Italy. You see this in training every day,

:35:11.:35:13.

trying to break down the opposition. Can you see a shot

:35:14.:36:17.

from outside the box? There should be no panic

:36:18.:36:25.

in these situations. A club that have always played right

:36:26.:36:35.

to the very death and will always believe you are

:36:36.:36:38.

going to get the opportunity. Cahill, one of

:36:39.:36:42.

the few mistakes he has made there, There have been a couple

:36:43.:36:52.

of stoppages. A lot can happen in five minutes

:36:53.:37:11.

in football. England might be open,

:37:12.:37:21.

but the flag was up will tap Didn't it use to be

:37:22.:38:36.

a professional foul? That came about with Jack Wilshere

:38:37.:38:58.

in the box trying to get back three Another chance for them to take

:38:59.:39:13.

as long as they like about it. There is still time left

:39:14.:39:39.

on the clock. Coming up to 48 second-half

:39:40.:39:56.

minutes played. Minutes they are wasting,

:39:57.:39:58.

giving silly fouls away. Pirlo here could make

:39:59.:40:11.

it all academic. Joe Hart, stranded, beaten,

:40:12.:40:16.

helpless. Pirlo with

:40:17.:40:21.

the back header to Chiellini. Plays

:40:22.:41:03.

a different game to most players. That is why Juventus have given him

:41:04.:41:08.

a two-year deal, at the age of 35. People on the streets tomorrow will

:41:09.:41:13.

be trying that free-kick, We are almost

:41:14.:41:19.

in the last 30 seconds. Looked as though he was

:41:20.:41:30.

going to fall at one point. I don't think it will make any

:41:31.:41:58.

difference to the outcome Italy are off to a winning start

:41:59.:42:01.

in Manaus. Mario Balotelli is

:42:02.:42:14.

the match winner and the hero. The former Manchester City man,

:42:15.:42:19.

now with Milan. Tired look on Andrea Pirlo's

:42:20.:42:23.

he has been perfect again. I'm sure they will

:42:24.:42:32.

continue to do that. What a game is set up, Uruguay

:42:33.:42:37.

losing to Costa Rica could mean winner takes all when those sides
