An masters of the destiny going into the final round of group games of

:00:59.:01:06.

Euro 2016. Victory over Slovakia would see Roy Hodgson's side win

:01:07.:01:12.

their group. -- England and Wales were masters of their own destiny.

:01:13.:01:16.

For Wales, a point and they would almost certainly qualify. Good

:01:17.:01:22.

evening. Highlights of both matches coming up. We're in the company of

:01:23.:01:25.

Danny Murphy, Alan Shearer, and Dean Saunders. This was how things stood

:01:26.:01:31.

in Group B, all four side still with a chance of making it through. --

:01:32.:01:36.

sides. Can Wales embrace this opportunity?

:01:37.:01:45.

The only way to guarantee finishing in the top two and progression from

:01:46.:01:52.

Group B is to win. But Russia's need is maybe even greater. If they don't

:01:53.:01:54.

win they cannot progress. The Berezutski twins are celebrating

:01:55.:02:03.

their birthday. Neither of the defensive back two

:02:04.:02:24.

will enjoy Gareth Bale. Four changes to the Russian side in total. Wales

:02:25.:02:32.

won the toss. They make one change, Sam Vokes start in place of

:02:33.:02:36.

Robson-Kanu. Two games in this tournament, two

:02:37.:02:53.

free kicks, two goals, Robbie Savage, how you feeling? Nervous. --

:02:54.:02:59.

how are you feeling? A dangerous looking ball. Chester

:03:00.:03:18.

dealt with it well. Sam Vokes, getting selection ahead of

:03:19.:03:20.

Robson-Kanu. We will talk about that in a moment, because Joe Allen is

:03:21.:03:26.

looking to Gareth Bale. Ramsey in the middle. Gareth Bale got the shot

:03:27.:03:31.

away, big chance the Sam Vokes. Flag up on the far side anyway. We see in

:03:32.:03:36.

the build-up what Sam Vokes can offer. Got the ball, ticketing, and

:03:37.:03:42.

put it behind Batman, Gareth Bale. It is a strike. -- take it in and

:03:43.:03:49.

put it behind that man. Great start from Wales. A great noise from the

:03:50.:03:54.

Welsh crowd. Ramsay is onside. Wales with the

:03:55.:04:10.

lead! Aaron Ramsey for Wales. He knows he is in front. If they win

:04:11.:04:16.

there is nothing anybody can do to deny them. Russia have given the

:04:17.:04:19.

ball away cheaply. What a ball from Joe Allen. Look at the touch of Joe

:04:20.:04:28.

Allen, look at Ramsay, timed absolutely perfectly. Then he has

:04:29.:04:33.

the composure, he sees the goalkeeper charging out. He has the

:04:34.:04:36.

audacity to wait for the goalkeeper to fall down, and then he puts it

:04:37.:04:44.

over him. Cool, calm, collected. Perfect start. Delightful finish.

:04:45.:04:50.

And it is a challenge from Davis to Ramsay. Gareth Bale trying to

:04:51.:05:03.

exploit a gap. He has made a great run. It has come to Taylor. Can the

:05:04.:05:10.

finish? He saves the first, but not the second. -- he finished. His

:05:11.:05:18.

first ever for Wales. They are in dreamland. They haven't even played

:05:19.:05:26.

20 minutes yet. Neil Taylor doubles Wales' lead. Impressive from the

:05:27.:05:33.

Wales team. Ramsay again. Look at where he puts the ball. That has

:05:34.:05:37.

bolstered the team. They dropped deeper. Bale gets the ball. I

:05:38.:05:43.

thought he was going to knock it across. He took his time. Good save,

:05:44.:05:49.

and then he blasts it into the net. A little bit lucky for Gareth Bale.

:05:50.:06:01.

Outside of his left foot. Wales in dreamland. 2-0. Fantastic, fantastic

:06:02.:06:03.

start. Playing good advantage. Sam Vokes is

:06:04.:06:09.

with Ramsay. A comfortable save for the

:06:10.:06:29.

goalkeeper. Mamaev made the attack on Gareth Bale. No protection.

:06:30.:06:33.

Exposed again. And it fell to the wingback. Crucial save. Hennessy. It

:06:34.:06:44.

is a brilliant save from Hennessy. It is a long ball from Akinfeev.

:06:45.:06:52.

Williams has got onto it. But what a save. Under pressure. It is a decent

:06:53.:06:59.

ball. Gareth Bale accelerating. Sam

:07:00.:07:19.

Vokes... The goalkeeper prevents a third.

:07:20.:07:24.

It is a really good header, that. Oh! Gareth Bale. Scintillating run.

:07:25.:07:41.

Once again, they cannot live with him. Just look at how he drives

:07:42.:07:50.

them. Should have been a foul. He can pass his cheeks out. You are

:07:51.:08:01.

getting battered! -- puff. Ramsay, well hit. Akinfeev shuffling it

:08:02.:08:12.

around the post. In the first half, he has been the best by any

:08:13.:08:14.

tournament. The pass from Ramsay is stretching

:08:15.:08:24.

the Russians. Gareth Bale's shot... He is in the

:08:25.:08:45.

mood. What the job he has done, Chris Coleman. -- what a job. Gareth

:08:46.:08:52.

Bale has turned it away from one. He has the pace to beat the two

:08:53.:08:59.

defenders. It is no exaggeration to say that had it not been for the

:09:00.:09:06.

Russian goalkeeper Wales could be four, or five in front.

:09:07.:09:21.

Every time Gareth Bale gets the ball you think something is going to

:09:22.:09:26.

happen tonight. Best performance in the tournament so far. He is playing

:09:27.:09:33.

with freedom. I think it has helped having Sam Vokes in the side. Sam

:09:34.:09:38.

Vokes has nicked it away from his man. Ramsay with Gareth Bale going

:09:39.:09:42.

up the middle. Gareth Bale... Akinfeev again! It is good work from

:09:43.:09:51.

Sam Vokes. Stole the ball. And the timing of the pass from Ramsay,

:09:52.:09:55.

Gareth Bale is just trying to dink it over the legs of Akinfeev. He has

:09:56.:09:59.

rushed out. Good save from the goalkeeper. He just got his toe to

:10:00.:10:05.

the ball. Once again, devastating counterattack from Wales. 2-0

:10:06.:10:11.

doesn't really begin to reflect Wales' superiority. Ledley, great

:10:12.:10:24.

ball, Ramsay leaves it. -- Aaron Ramsey. Gareth Bale is onside.

:10:25.:10:29.

Surely this time! CHEERING

:10:30.:10:38.

There is the man, and there is the man with the plan. Wales three,

:10:39.:10:44.

Russia zero. So much space on the right-hand side. Great from Ledley.

:10:45.:10:48.

Gives the ball to Aaron Ramsey. He can drive it through the back four.

:10:49.:10:54.

No protection. But just look at the timing of the run. Sam Vokes in an

:10:55.:10:59.

offside position, he was clever enough to leave it for Gareth Bale.

:11:00.:11:04.

He sees the goalkeeper rushing out. Look at how he composes self. Takes

:11:05.:11:09.

it outside of his left foot. Licks it both Akinfeev. What a finish. --

:11:10.:11:20.

over Akinfeev. You are looking at Euro 2016's top scorer. So easy for

:11:21.:11:26.

Wales. What a performance. You cannot help wondering what Ronaldo

:11:27.:11:32.

makes of Gareth Bale taking this tournament by the scruff of the

:11:33.:11:35.

neck. It is one of the most one-sided games I have seen in a

:11:36.:11:40.

European Championships. And I have been watching for a number of years,

:11:41.:11:45.

these tournaments. For Wales to come out, and a little bit of pressure,

:11:46.:11:48.

after conceding late against England, they have come out with

:11:49.:11:52.

energy every time they have attacked. They have looked like they

:11:53.:11:55.

could score every time they have attacked. Danger here. Over the bar.

:11:56.:12:05.

A scant consolation it would have been, but he should have scored. It

:12:06.:12:12.

is a fantastic performance into the box.

:12:13.:12:24.

-- deflected behind. A good block from the Russian defender.

:12:25.:12:48.

Almost overcome with the absolute joy of it. That is what it means.

:12:49.:12:56.

That is what it means to these fans. Look at them. That is what it means.

:12:57.:13:02.

Unbelievable passion, spirit, moved to tears by sheer pride. Pride is

:13:03.:13:10.

the word. What a night to be a Welshman.

:13:11.:13:16.

WHISTLE The whistle has gone. Wales are

:13:17.:13:25.

through. Chris Coleman got everything right. Cracking from

:13:26.:13:36.

Coleman. Exemplary from Alan. Ramsay was -- Aaron Ramsey was rampant. And

:13:37.:13:39.

Gareth Bale was absolutely magnificent.

:13:40.:13:45.

We knew everything was on this game. It was in our hands. We said before

:13:46.:13:50.

the game just to go out there, enjoy ourselves. I have no regrets. Micah

:13:51.:13:54.

have always said. The performance was probably the best I have been

:13:55.:13:58.

involved with since I have been involved. -- like I have always

:13:59.:14:05.

said. We move on now. The three points are massive. The performance

:14:06.:14:10.

was even sweeter than the points. I thought the players were brave

:14:11.:14:15.

tonight. What a night. One I will never forget, you know? I thought we

:14:16.:14:20.

started the game so well. From start to finish, we thoroughly deserved

:14:21.:14:26.

the win. To win in style Mike Batt, it is a special moment for Welsh

:14:27.:14:32.

football, I think -- like that. Unbelievable feeling. To get it in

:14:33.:14:37.

the year rose, at this stage. I did my best to miss it. But I scored in

:14:38.:14:44.

the second attempt. The energy was sapped out of them. You often get

:14:45.:14:47.

those games where you can ease off in the last ten or 15 minutes, we

:14:48.:14:52.

did well. We started so well. The boys ahead of us were brilliant.

:14:53.:14:55.

Created well. Broke them. Everybody worked so hard. Fantastic feeling.

:14:56.:15:02.

What an occasion. We have been waiting a long time to show we are

:15:03.:15:05.

capable of doing this on a big stage. To get two wins, and to come

:15:06.:15:10.

so close against England, it is a fantastic thing. We have nothing to

:15:11.:15:17.

fear. We respect everybody. But no fear. Why should we have any fear?

:15:18.:15:22.

Well played, Wales, they go through. Marvellous, magical, memorable

:15:23.:15:30.

comedy. We don't get many days like these, but this has to be up there

:15:31.:15:35.

with one of the best performances I have seen in my lifetime from the

:15:36.:15:39.

Wales team. That could have been ten. It was a brilliant effort, they

:15:40.:15:43.

won very easily and it all started with a great start, with Aaron

:15:44.:15:48.

Ramsey putting them ahead. The performance was great, helped by the

:15:49.:15:52.

worst performance I have seen from an international team, but Aaron

:15:53.:15:56.

Ramsey's brain from the start is two steps ahead of everybody's. Great

:15:57.:16:02.

ball, great run, Joe Allen puts him in. If you watch her sharp ears, he

:16:03.:16:07.

sets off before everybody else, the timing of his run -- house shop he

:16:08.:16:12.

is. The ball has the right way to macro on it and the writeback gets

:16:13.:16:18.

it wrong and what a finish, he played out of his skin today -- the

:16:19.:16:25.

right back. They all did, but Aaron Ramsey was probably the best. That

:16:26.:16:31.

was the start of the game but it was all the way through, very

:16:32.:16:33.

comfortable victory. Total domination of the 90 minute and Dean

:16:34.:16:38.

said, it could've been and should have been, but for the finishing and

:16:39.:16:41.

the goalkeeper, it would have been nine or they were superb. Rarely

:16:42.:16:46.

seen a team so dominant against another. This is Russia, it is not

:16:47.:16:51.

one of the tiny nations in this tournament, really. It's not, but

:16:52.:16:55.

what was even better if they have lost their last game, they were

:16:56.:16:58.

under some pressure. It wasn't a dead rubber, which we see sometimes

:16:59.:17:02.

in tournaments. It was a game where they had to get something out of it,

:17:03.:17:05.

they played on the front foot and passed the ball better. Absolutely

:17:06.:17:10.

brilliant. Keylor, the last time he scored was six years ago and I do

:17:11.:17:14.

believe you might have been with him at the time -- Taylor. I was, it was

:17:15.:17:22.

a similar venue to this, it was Grays athletic. He hadn't scored for

:17:23.:17:29.

four years. But look at his desire compared to the Russian right back's

:17:30.:17:35.

desire to get back. And again, it is a similar type goal, they get caught

:17:36.:17:39.

square at the back and Neal is through, gets lucky rebound, but the

:17:40.:17:43.

defenders all get attracted to Gareth Bale. They should be killing

:17:44.:17:48.

this post the other way, but for some reason, they did it all night,

:17:49.:17:52.

stepping towards the ball, all of the goals were quite similar. Great

:17:53.:17:57.

finish from Neil. Gets a bit of luck, he didn't know what he was

:17:58.:18:01.

doing there. I will remind him later. Gareth Bale, he has scored

:18:02.:18:08.

two wonder free kicks in this tournament already. He has been

:18:09.:18:11.

quiet in some aspects, especially against England, but tonight, he was

:18:12.:18:16.

dominant, he was brilliant. He is looking like the best player in the

:18:17.:18:19.

tournament by a mile. Three goals in three games. He ran riot all night.

:18:20.:18:23.

He is just too quick and strong for everyone. Look at the space in

:18:24.:18:29.

behind the Russian midfield in front of the defence. All night, they had

:18:30.:18:33.

nobody there helping the back four and they step up again and Bale,

:18:34.:18:41.

what a finish. That is acute, clever, intelligent finish. Timed

:18:42.:18:46.

his run to perfection but once he is there, he is so cool, and the little

:18:47.:18:50.

left over the goalkeeper, the touch and the bend with a left foot. He

:18:51.:18:55.

knows exactly what he is doing, he knows the goalkeeper is coming out

:18:56.:18:59.

and will go low and thinks it over. He is a hell of a player, Danny. I

:19:00.:19:04.

think it was his best performance of the tournament. The first two games,

:19:05.:19:08.

he was a bit in and out but tonight, he showed all of his qualities, his

:19:09.:19:13.

dribbling, pace, crossing and shops. He just dominated the game, Dean. He

:19:14.:19:19.

is too good for everybody, you can't leave him this type of space. This

:19:20.:19:24.

time, he comes in on his left foot, they can't stop him and he is a

:19:25.:19:29.

great striker of the ball. Sam is offside the gets a shot in. This

:19:30.:19:33.

one, Tottenham against Milan a few years back. Look at the players

:19:34.:19:38.

chasing him, it looks like they have divers' boots on. He is like a

:19:39.:19:44.

Rolls-Royce, great skill. Again, you can't leave him this type of space

:19:45.:19:48.

because he is capable of doing that if you stand off him. When you

:19:49.:19:53.

consider the pressure that is on his shoulders... We know he is a big

:19:54.:19:56.

game player, he has produced in big games for Real Madrid, but when you

:19:57.:20:01.

consider the pressure, Wales is on his shoulders. We have all said if

:20:02.:20:05.

he performs, Wales have a chance of getting through the group, so for

:20:06.:20:09.

him to do that under that pressure speaks volumes about his character.

:20:10.:20:14.

He was given a free role as well, wasn't he, popping up on the left

:20:15.:20:18.

and right and sometimes central? They build the team around him and

:20:19.:20:21.

when he has that freedom and the space... He was that quick and

:20:22.:20:25.

strong, he was making players look pedestrian. But he was helped by

:20:26.:20:30.

them, they were terrible tonight, Russia. But you can compare him to

:20:31.:20:34.

the best players in the world. It hasn't happened so far for Ronaldo

:20:35.:20:39.

this tournament, the two big stars from Real Madrid. Leonid Slutsky, we

:20:40.:20:47.

understand, has quit as the Russian coach but I tell you someone who

:20:48.:20:51.

won't get the sack, Chris Coleman. What an achievement to take his team

:20:52.:20:56.

through to the last 16. Well, to get them here, superb. To get the

:20:57.:21:02.

performances, to be difficult to beat, to have everyone in sync and

:21:03.:21:06.

to get the best out of his star players tells you, I think, what a

:21:07.:21:09.

brilliant job that Chris Coleman is doing. Bearing in mind he lost nine

:21:10.:21:16.

of the first 13 games and he was under pressure, calling for his

:21:17.:21:20.

head. Decided to do it his own way. The players love him. I didn't think

:21:21.:21:25.

we'd qualify as easy as we did and I didn't think we qualify in the

:21:26.:21:29.

tournament as easy as we have. You can tell the players love him

:21:30.:21:31.

because of the performances they are putting in, the effort, the

:21:32.:21:36.

commitment. Everything is jelling. I know a couple of the lads, I have

:21:37.:21:40.

spoken to them and you get a clear picture of how much respect they

:21:41.:21:43.

have got for him. It is not false. You see it in the performance. Now,

:21:44.:21:50.

as you'd expect, in Wales, they were getting quite excited about the

:21:51.:21:54.

game. This was Aaron Ramsey's goal, this was reaction in Cardiff. I

:21:55.:22:00.

would say they were getting quite excited. Brilliant scenes.

:22:01.:22:06.

Marvellous to see, it really is. What does it mean for Welsh

:22:07.:22:11.

football? Well, if I wasn't here, I would have been with them. It is a

:22:12.:22:17.

massive boost for football in Wales. I played for a long time and we

:22:18.:22:21.

never have a day like this. It is just brilliant. I can't believe how

:22:22.:22:25.

easily we have done it. Waiting all that time for it. And we were

:22:26.:22:31.

unlucky against England. I will give you that on this occasion. With

:22:32.:22:35.

Wales finishing on six points, England had to beat Slovakia to top

:22:36.:22:38.

the group. Your commentators, Martin Keown and

:22:39.:22:43.

Guy Mowbray. Where to next for England? It almost certainly won't

:22:44.:22:47.

be home but winning this final group game could be crucial in shaping how

:22:48.:22:52.

long their Euro 2016 ride will last. Three points will mean first place

:22:53.:22:57.

and on to Paris for the last 16. Slovakia, though, have the same

:22:58.:23:01.

incentive. It is the same Slovakia side that beat Russia last

:23:02.:23:04.

Wednesday, with three still in the team that played in the last meeting

:23:05.:23:08.

with England seven years ago, Pekarik, Skrtel and star man Marek

:23:09.:23:15.

Hamsik all figured in a 4-0 defeat at Wembley. Only a win will

:23:16.:23:18.

guarantee the potentially hugely important top spot for England but

:23:19.:23:22.

with qualification almost assured, Roy Hodgson has rung the changes.

:23:23.:23:27.

Six of them, with games for Nathaniel Clyne, Ryan Bertrand,

:23:28.:23:32.

Jordan Henderson, Jack Wilshere and Thursday's super subs, Daniel

:23:33.:23:35.

Sturridge and Jamie Vardy. Martin, lots of changes but you have

:23:36.:23:40.

applauded Roy Hodgson's boulders. I had, he is believing in his squad,

:23:41.:23:46.

you have to trust your players. It is bold from Roy, let's hope they

:23:47.:23:47.

don't let him down. Bat was Vardy. Pure instinct. --

:23:48.:23:59.

battles. It is Nathaniel Clyne, you would think it was Walker, gets down

:24:00.:24:03.

the right and it comes off his thigh, Jamie Vardy.

:24:04.:24:10.

Sturridge arrives in the penalty area, and Alana there as well.

:24:11.:24:16.

-- Adam Lallana. Henderson kept it nicely. Help time I Adam Lallana to

:24:17.:24:29.

Vardy. What a superblock tackle that is. It is a scrappy attempt from

:24:30.:24:37.

England, they flick it on and Sturridge is in and Pekarik, it is

:24:38.:24:42.

an outstanding challenge. Now Lallana. The shot was dragged

:24:43.:24:56.

wide and it was a nice crisp move from England. It is Lallana again

:24:57.:25:02.

coming in off the left, just creeping into that position. For me,

:25:03.:25:08.

he snatches at that. It has been a reasonable start for England. I

:25:09.:25:15.

think already... Vardy can surely beat scuttle in a race. Good save.

:25:16.:25:27.

Great save from the keeper, he was retreating. Just stands up and makes

:25:28.:25:31.

a barrier. How many times have you seen Vardy put them away in the

:25:32.:25:33.

Premier League? Henderson, what a ball. Clyne will

:25:34.:25:44.

get there. Wilshere didn't quite get there.

:25:45.:25:55.

Clyne pokes it through. Henderson. And Kozacik took it away from

:25:56.:26:03.

scuttle. England just livening themselves up now -- from Martin

:26:04.:26:10.

Skrtel. Just needs to keep it that bit lower, no chance for Vardy

:26:11.:26:11.

there. Here is Lallana! Straight at

:26:12.:26:26.

Kozacik. And Slovakia get it away. Good save from the keeper. He should

:26:27.:26:31.

be looking to put that in a corner. He has gone for safety.

:26:32.:26:38.

Vardy let it run. It was crashed by Henderson, straight against the head

:26:39.:26:57.

of Durica. A little more know-how needed from an England point of

:26:58.:27:01.

view, perhaps, in the second 45 minutes.

:27:02.:27:10.

Pekarik is dragged down by Bertrand. I think that might be one foul too

:27:11.:27:19.

many from the Southampton left-back. Bertrand gets a little too close to

:27:20.:27:25.

him and he can't retrieve it. It is a definite foul. And a position of

:27:26.:27:32.

opportunity for Slovakia. Their fans censored. Joe Hart with just enough

:27:33.:27:40.

on it. Actually, plenty on it. I wonder if he just mistimed it, but

:27:41.:27:42.

great reach in the end. Joe Hart stays back, calling for

:27:43.:27:53.

Chris Smalling to get it away. Therein lies the danger of not

:27:54.:27:58.

taking chances at the other end. Huge let off for England there.

:27:59.:28:06.

Maybe that is just what we need. That was a wake-up call. Clyne gets

:28:07.:28:15.

in front of Weiss. Couldn't keep it down. It was blocked, that is why it

:28:16.:28:21.

went so high over. What a fantastic run that is, great ball to him. Does

:28:22.:28:26.

everything right but score. I just wonder if he has been fouled as he

:28:27.:28:30.

hits back. Yes, he definitely caught him. This was the error at the other

:28:31.:28:36.

end, Smalling trying to bounce it back to Joe Hart. Not enough pace on

:28:37.:28:41.

the backpass, he just can't get to it. Pekarik a game, Smalling started

:28:42.:28:51.

to go backwards. Here is Kozacik. He will always check back and he very

:28:52.:28:54.

nearly managed to squeeze it past Joe Hart. The fans were calling for

:28:55.:29:00.

Wayne Rooney's introduction near the end of the first half and he is

:29:01.:29:04.

going to come on in midfield again and Jack Wilshere number -- Jack

:29:05.:29:11.

Wilshere's number is up. The whole of the stadium has been calling for

:29:12.:29:16.

Wayne Rooney to come on. He hasn't hung about, Roy Hodgson.

:29:17.:29:23.

Henderson across. Daily -- Deli Alli. What a great ball, Henderson

:29:24.:29:42.

just thinks it up and Deli Alli right on cue almost.

:29:43.:29:51.

England need that variation in their play. Sturridge... Just needed a

:29:52.:30:03.

better connection. Well, it's a fantastic ball. Just prods it into

:30:04.:30:07.

that area. We have suddenly got Sturridge and a central position. He

:30:08.:30:12.

is watching it, over his shoulder, very difficult to catch it on the

:30:13.:30:17.

fall. The English road have been absolutely fantastic, you have to

:30:18.:30:21.

say. The advantage with Rooney. It is blocked. It is not a free kick,

:30:22.:30:28.

it is a corner, though. Rooney is sensing something is going to happen

:30:29.:30:34.

for him. It is only a good block that denies him. You have to credit

:30:35.:30:40.

the Slovakia defending, the goalkeeper and all those in front of

:30:41.:30:43.

him putting everything on the line, getting in a way of everything.

:30:44.:30:48.

Wayne Rooney lifts it. Peter Pekarik happy to let it run. I don't know

:30:49.:31:00.

why, because it will be another corner. They usually say don't make

:31:01.:31:07.

changes before a corner, but they are making one. Sturridge isn't

:31:08.:31:11.

happy. I'm sure no player is happy about being replaced. He had a word

:31:12.:31:15.

with the touchline staff when he was told of the change that was going to

:31:16.:31:23.

happen a couple of minutes ago. Bertrand. Kay had attacks. In front

:31:24.:31:27.

of the keeper, he cannot get any touch. -- Gary Cahill. Stronger this

:31:28.:31:33.

time, but just not able to win it strongly enough.

:31:34.:31:40.

Shifted it out. Nobody waiting for him.

:31:41.:31:48.

Now it is on. It is a great turn from Wayne Rooney. He looks up to

:31:49.:32:02.

the skies, because he screws the shot wide of his left foot.

:32:03.:32:12.

Relentless from England. -- off. Henderson looking for Harry Kane. He

:32:13.:32:17.

couldn't hang in the air long enough. Good play again. Wayne

:32:18.:32:23.

Rooney involved. Just too high for Harry Kane to get anything on it.

:32:24.:32:24.

Agonising for him. Dele Alli lets fly, but the ball

:32:25.:32:47.

goes too high. It has exasperated a view of his colleagues. Well, there

:32:48.:32:50.

are some players in a better position. Henderson... He just gets

:32:51.:32:58.

sucked into hitting this one. -- few. Into the fifth minute of injury

:32:59.:33:03.

time. Nathaniel Clyne is still going down that same wing. What a good

:33:04.:33:12.

catch it is. The rolling was pretty impressive, too. It looks like it is

:33:13.:33:19.

over now. England missed the chance to go top of the group.

:33:20.:33:32.

Chris Smalling... WHISTLE Slovakia celebrate as if they have

:33:33.:33:43.

just achieved great things at the European Championship. I suppose

:33:44.:33:46.

getting out of the group and into the last 16, after not playing at

:33:47.:33:54.

these championships too often is a big thing for them. England are left

:33:55.:33:58.

a bit disappointed. They have done pretty much everything they could,

:33:59.:34:03.

but they couldn't manage to score and find a way through and win the

:34:04.:34:06.

game as they did late on against Wales. No repeat of the late glory

:34:07.:34:11.

tonight, but England are through, all right, if not in quite exuberant

:34:12.:34:13.

celebratory mood. Full-time. Congratulations were you happy that

:34:14.:34:30.

the starting XI picked up from where they left things with Wales? We

:34:31.:34:36.

dominated. It was good to have some players on the bench we could put

:34:37.:34:39.

on, especially as Slovakia were tiring, to increase the pressure on

:34:40.:34:43.

them. But we put pressure on them from the very first minute. The

:34:44.:34:49.

passing was fine. Creating goal chances. But as anybody who was

:34:50.:34:54.

watching the game could see, we didn't take them, unfortunately,

:34:55.:34:57.

which leaves us with 0-0 which is frustrating. We wanted to top the

:34:58.:35:03.

group. We are disappointed we didn't do it because we had the chance to

:35:04.:35:08.

do it. The play, the positioning, everything, it sounds easy to say,

:35:09.:35:12.

but we did everything but score. Every corner of the pitch, every

:35:13.:35:16.

part of the pitch, the Slovakian players will be proud of what they

:35:17.:35:19.

did tonight. It is in the end of the world for us, we are into the next

:35:20.:35:23.

round, and nobody will look forward to playing us. You are going to

:35:24.:35:28.

Nice, you don't know who your opponent will be, how difficult is

:35:29.:35:32.

it not to know, and how will you prepare? We will prepare in the same

:35:33.:35:38.

way. It is now all about recovering. We have a week to do that, like you

:35:39.:35:44.

say. If anything positive came out of this, it is that. We will go from

:35:45.:35:51.

there and wait to see who we get. We have to try and win. Hopefully we

:35:52.:35:59.

won't be playing for a draw. Hopefully we will see different

:36:00.:36:02.

football in the tournament in general. Hopefully it will make it

:36:03.:36:06.

easier for us, but you never know. If the team keeps working like it is

:36:07.:36:12.

at the moment, we will meet teams that will come to us, a bit more

:36:13.:36:16.

than in the first three games, and perhaps the spaces will open up and

:36:17.:36:20.

we will be even more dangerous. STUDIO: Wales top Group B. They were

:36:21.:36:28.

five to one to win the group before a ball was kicked. England qualify

:36:29.:36:34.

for the last 16. Slovakia likely to progress as a best third placed

:36:35.:36:39.

team. Who Wales and England will play next is complicated until the

:36:40.:36:43.

other groups have concluded. But we know that Wales will play a team who

:36:44.:36:53.

finished third in either Group A, C, or D. It is slightly more clear for

:36:54.:36:59.

England. They will play the runners-up of Group F in Nice.

:37:00.:37:10.

Frustrating evening to England, lots of chances, couldn't put them away,

:37:11.:37:14.

what did you of it? I didn't agree with them making that many changes.

:37:15.:37:19.

I think it is vital to get momentum. I thought there was opportunity to

:37:20.:37:22.

do that after the Wales game, particularly in the way they won, so

:37:23.:37:27.

I think it was a wrong decision to do that after the game. Having said

:37:28.:37:31.

that, we created chances. We should have scored goals. Particularly in

:37:32.:37:35.

the first half. We controlled possession but didn't create

:37:36.:37:40.

chances. It is ironic, before the tournament, I, along with everybody,

:37:41.:37:47.

worry about defence. But it was the forwards' play which must improve.

:37:48.:37:54.

It is never easy when a team sit back and watch. England have had to

:37:55.:37:58.

face that in this competition. Also, if you get the first one, things go

:37:59.:38:02.

one, but they couldn't manage that. Which is a concern. But you cannot

:38:03.:38:07.

win the tournament yet... I think we have played better than a lot of

:38:08.:38:11.

people expected us to do. We've made more chances. We haven't scored

:38:12.:38:15.

them, with the quality of strikers we have, I accept that, but overall

:38:16.:38:19.

I think we are moving forward. Finishing second shouldn't harm us

:38:20.:38:26.

that much. So many positives to look at the England team with. They were

:38:27.:38:34.

dominant from the first minute. Roy Hodgson has made the changes people

:38:35.:38:38.

wanted in front of the pitch. They are the ones that let us down. I

:38:39.:38:43.

know you were transfixed to the Welsh victory, but you just saw the

:38:44.:38:48.

highlights there. A striker's life, you know it well, it isn't easy when

:38:49.:38:51.

there are that many bodies in the box. It is difficult when they put

:38:52.:38:57.

all of the bodies in there to create the space you need. But they were

:38:58.:39:02.

creating chances. I am with Alan, the changes and settled things. I've

:39:03.:39:11.

never been a fan of it. Euro 96, second game, we beat Scotland, very

:39:12.:39:14.

similar to England beating Wales the other day, we go into the next game,

:39:15.:39:19.

against Holland, and we put in a magnificent game because of the

:39:20.:39:22.

confidence after beating Scotland. I thought it was an opportunity for

:39:23.:39:25.

Roy Hodgson to do that tonight with this England team. Not absolute

:39:26.:39:34.

sitters. Particularly in the first half. Henderson, over the top, that

:39:35.:39:38.

was the one occasion that they played high on Jamie Vardy. They

:39:39.:39:43.

used him and his pace. The passing from Henderson was superb. On his

:39:44.:39:47.

left foot. He tries to go with pace rather than curling inside the

:39:48.:39:53.

goalkeeper. We worked the flank well on this occasion. Goalkeeper's

:39:54.:40:00.

height, isn't it, it goes lower. The one thing missing from his game.

:40:01.:40:05.

That is the one thing missing from everybody's game. 64 shots and three

:40:06.:40:11.

goals. That tells its own story. I think this should have been a

:40:12.:40:16.

penalty. He has every right to go down. He has clipped his legs,

:40:17.:40:20.

Nathaniel Clyne The Miz stays on his feet, if he is too honest... He

:40:21.:40:25.

should have given the penalty, the official. -- Nathaniel Clyne, he

:40:26.:40:38.

stays on his feet. Very unlucky. It is unlikely to get it into the box

:40:39.:40:43.

and it hasn't gone in. If you use your bad luck now, the good luck

:40:44.:40:47.

might come in the knockout stages, who knows. Eric Dyer, into storage,

:40:48.:40:58.

and again, they should score. -- Dier. I was pleased with the first

:40:59.:41:02.

half performance, but I didn't see any urgency in the second half. I

:41:03.:41:05.

was pretty disappointed with the second half. Positive performances

:41:06.:41:16.

for England, Danny, Dier? CHUCKLES

:41:17.:41:21.

I couldn't resist. This is what you want from a holding midfielder.

:41:22.:41:24.

Somebody who can open the team up, get you on the front foot. He spots

:41:25.:41:29.

the players in those pockets. He does this brilliantly. We know that.

:41:30.:41:33.

He can see danger. Look at this for a pass... Beautiful. You would

:41:34.:41:40.

expect this from the likes of Michael Carrick. He has made that

:41:41.:41:44.

position his own. He is strong, tenacious, calm, and that... That is

:41:45.:41:52.

the type of play you expect from Wilshere or Rooney. Not a midfield

:41:53.:41:56.

player. That is a positive for Roy Hodgson. He has become our main man

:41:57.:42:01.

in the middle of the park. Other areas, talking about the midfield,

:42:02.:42:04.

because that is predominantly weather changes were made -- where

:42:05.:42:11.

the changes were made. Henderson, how do you think he did? I think he

:42:12.:42:16.

did well. He lacks quality of the final pass at times. What he did was

:42:17.:42:23.

defend. He has followed his man around the pitch. He was so good in

:42:24.:42:27.

the previous game. When he wanted to drop deep, he wouldn't let him turn.

:42:28.:42:33.

You can see him, he is just stopping him. He is always on the turn.

:42:34.:42:39.

Always looking, where is he? Obviously people talking around him

:42:40.:42:42.

and he didn't have an influence on the game. This is somebody who I

:42:43.:42:45.

thought in the last game was superb. That is what Henderson gives it with

:42:46.:42:49.

his athleticism, his discipline, he knows how to play the role. He

:42:50.:42:52.

hasn't played much football in the last few months. And I thought he

:42:53.:42:57.

lasted the game very well. This was late in the game, when he was tired,

:42:58.:43:01.

not giving him the time and space to get onto the counterattacks. Here he

:43:02.:43:07.

is again. Closing down with the help of Nathaniel Clyne. He was a part of

:43:08.:43:12.

all of the good things defensively. Did he get forward? Yes. At times he

:43:13.:43:19.

lacked a bit of quality, but he is capable, he just needs to be a bit

:43:20.:43:22.

more confident at times because he can do it. And this is probably the

:43:23.:43:32.

most unlucky one. Ten, 20 yards... So considering it is his first game

:43:33.:43:36.

in a while I thought he did really well. I have watched England now for

:43:37.:43:41.

the three games. I don't think Roy Hodgson knows his best 11 and I

:43:42.:43:44.

don't think he knows his best system. From that point of view I

:43:45.:43:47.

think that is where England are struggling. Sturridge doesn't want

:43:48.:43:52.

to play on the right-hand side. He is playing a 4-3- three, if you

:43:53.:43:57.

like. Rain sterling had a chance come he didn't take it. Sturridge

:43:58.:44:01.

wants to play down the middle, centre forward, we haven't really

:44:02.:44:07.

got any wing players, which is important. -- Raheem Sterling had a

:44:08.:44:15.

chance. Who would you play? Jamie Vardy. Harry Kane down the middle.

:44:16.:44:20.

Sturridge on the right. If you keep making the chances you are making,

:44:21.:44:23.

and I'm looking from the outside, I am Welsh, you won't score. All of

:44:24.:44:31.

the strikers, they are all kind of Central, and they? That is what I am

:44:32.:44:35.

saying. You have to have one out of position. It needs to be balanced.

:44:36.:44:41.

With Adam Lallana on the left, you can cover him Conor Henderson behind

:44:42.:44:43.

him, you can cover him when he goes inside. -- you can cover him,

:44:44.:44:50.

Henderson behind him. I think the system is OK. He actually played in

:44:51.:44:58.

a diamond, with Wayne Rooney up front, and then bringing Harry Kane

:44:59.:45:02.

on, they managed fine. It will scatter gun. Against Wales we have

:45:03.:45:07.

Marcus Rashford, Sturridge on the right... But if he doesn't change

:45:08.:45:15.

it, we are going to say that everything was predictable again.

:45:16.:45:19.

You cannot win unless you win. Will you just praised Henderson, do you

:45:20.:45:22.

think he will start in the next game? No. Neither do I. I would go

:45:23.:45:30.

with two up, and the diamond shaped with Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane.

:45:31.:45:34.

But you have got to play it properly. I think the system is

:45:35.:45:41.

working OK, leave Jamie Vardy, Sturridge, Adam Lallana...

:45:42.:45:47.

We haven't been brilliant when we have played this system. It's an

:45:48.:45:53.

opinion, I think we have played quite well in the three games. Wales

:45:54.:46:00.

have played Russia and Slovakia and scored five goals against them. But

:46:01.:46:04.

they will have a go against Wales and it is counterattack, it is

:46:05.:46:09.

different when teams sit back. If I was England I would say, try and

:46:10.:46:13.

break us down. You think the French or the Portuguese would put men

:46:14.:46:16.

behind the ball against us? Jude think we have played well? I think

:46:17.:46:22.

we have played decent football and lacked finishing touch that will

:46:23.:46:25.

come. I think we have played reasonably well, I am mildly

:46:26.:46:29.

encouraged, if that counts. So England and Wales go through and

:46:30.:46:32.

tomorrow, Northern Ireland were turned to join them. Standing in

:46:33.:46:35.

their way the world champions Germany. This is the situation in

:46:36.:46:42.

Group C. Three points might yet big enough to qualify. Let's hear from

:46:43.:46:50.

captain Stephen Davis. We are in a great position, looking forward to

:46:51.:46:54.

the game and for so long, it felt like I wasn't going to get the

:46:55.:46:57.

chance to play at this stage, so we are just cherishing being here and

:46:58.:47:02.

don't want the fairy tale to end. If beating Ukraine was the proudest

:47:03.:47:06.

moment of your career, is this the biggest challenge? It is going to be

:47:07.:47:11.

a huge test, and we are under no illusions but I think it is a game

:47:12.:47:15.

for us to look forward to and if we go out and give our all and come off

:47:16.:47:19.

with a result, there will be a lot of satisfaction and pride, but there

:47:20.:47:22.

was a lot of hard work to do. What would it mean to you and your

:47:23.:47:25.

team-mates to make it through to the knockout stages and for everybody in

:47:26.:47:30.

Northern Ireland? It would mean everything. Obviously with social

:47:31.:47:34.

media, we get to see the reaction back home and the atmosphere in the

:47:35.:47:38.

stadium the other night was unbelievable. Everybody is enjoying

:47:39.:47:41.

the moment, is proud of the country and it is great to see. Northern

:47:42.:47:45.

Ireland versus Germany is live on BBC One and the website from 4:30pm.

:47:46.:47:52.

You can catch the other game in the group on the red button. There will

:47:53.:47:56.

be highlights of all four of tomorrow's games, including Croatia

:47:57.:48:00.

and Spain. Switching sports for a moment, follow coverage of England's

:48:01.:48:05.

one-day international against Sri Lanka on the BBC sport website

:48:06.:48:07.

tomorrow, with video clips of key moments. We are out of time, the

:48:08.:48:13.

debate will go on all night. Thank you very much. That from us. In the

:48:14.:48:17.

North through to the knockout stage but Wales win the group and the

:48:18.:48:24.

drinks are on Dean Saunders -- England are through. Good night.

:48:25.:48:28.

This is it. Aaron Ramsey with a dink! Here is Vardy. Good save,

:48:29.:48:45.

Kozacik. They are in Dreamland! Lallana! Goal saving clearance.

:48:46.:49:01.

There is the man. Wales are through. And there is the man with the plan.

:49:02.:49:03.
