Serbia v England – live: Score and updates from Euro 2024 as Jude Bellingham gives Three Lions perfect start

Lovely sliding tackle from Guehi to dispossess Vlahovic and start an England counter. It ends with Foden shipping it wide to Alexander-Arnold, who drags a shot wide of the far post.

Serbia are still happy to sit back despite going behind. England take them up on the invitation, but a period of sustained possession ends when Bellingham can’t bring down Pickford’s long ball.

Great play from Walker to play a pass behind the defender to the overlapping Saka. His cross is deflected a little but it ends up being perfect, as Bellingham flies in to power the header into the back of the net.

John Stones loses a cheap foul in the Serbia box just as a long diagonal lands at the feet of Rice.

England regain possession quickly, but they’re forced to recycle it back to Stones.

As expected, Bellingham is spending plenty of time sitting between the Serbia defence and midfield, and swapping with Foden when needed.

Bellingham wins a foul but the free-kick is taken quickly, and England keep possession, before Rice just loses it for a throw after miscontrolling it.

Serbia give it away straight away though, with Bellingham using his body well to win another free-kick.

Kostic skips past Walker before clipping in a cross, but it’s too deep for anyone in a red shirt.

Serbia have barely had the ball in the opening five minutes, but England are yet to create anything of note as Foden fails to control it in the box before skewing a shot behind for a goal kick.

Plenty of boos around the Veltins as England hold onto the ball. England win the first free-kick and it’ll be Alexander-Arnold’s first chance to deliver, but it’s headed away and England recycle possession.

Stones lets Vlhaovic know he’s there early on, which is greeted by cheers from England fans.

England start with some calm, sustained possession.

KICK-OFF! And England get us underway after the captains exchange pennants! This is it.
