Much more of an even game at the moment, with England relatively comfortable in their shape, while Spain have been forced to make some clearances over the last few minutes. Shaw has been England's standout player thus far, while Rodri has been excellent for Spain.

19 min

Shaw again wins a personal battle with Yamal. He's been brilliant.

18 min

Rodri again does brilliantly to block a strike from Rice, before Cucurella clears at the far post. England are suddenly turning up the heat here, with Foden also involved.

16 min

... Rodri does really well to clear the danger.

16 min

Walker breaks into a dangerous position for England, and his low cross is cleared behind by Laporte. Much better for England, who have their first corner of the match...

15 min

Trippier is warming up here amid the concerns over Walker, but it does appear that the Manchester City defender will be able to continue. Still all square in the final.

13 min

CLOSE! Some concern over Walker here, who stays down after a challenge, but he should be able to continue. Le Normand then hooks one behind from a corner, with Spain having a half-chance.

England deliver a deep free kick into the Spain box, but Guehi pushes Rodri to the ground, and Spain are able to gather control of the ball once again here.

9 min

England have not yet managed to break clear, but the opportunity will be there at some stage, as Spain are pushing really high. No doubt that La Roja have started the better here, with Williams looking dangerous down the left. Ruiz has also been impressive in midfield.

7 min

Pass, pass, pass from Spain, who have been the better outfit in the first seven minutes. England, though, are not overly concerned at this moment in time. Cagey start here.

5 min

Spain are looking to control the possession early on here, which is not a surprise. England are dropping into their shape, though, and look relatively comfortable in there. Shaw again wins his battle against Yamal, which will give England plenty of confidence early here.

3 min

Shaw wins his first battle against Yamal, knocking the Barcelona teenager to the ground in the process, but you can be sure that the 17-year-old will come back time and time again.

2 min

... England immediately look down the right, with Pickford delivering long towards Saka, but it goes behind for a Spain goal kick. The atmosphere inside the stadium really is sensational.

7.42pm

This statistic is simply brilliant btw...

7.40pm

Ex-England defender Rio Ferdinand agrees with Southgate's call to bring Shaw in, telling BBC Sport: "Gareth Southgate will have thought long and hard about choosing between Luke Shaw and Kieran Trippier.

"Lamine Yamal likes to cut inside on his left foot, onto Trippier's right, so defensively you would understand him going that way. However Shaw offers that balance to the team that we have lacked in games without him."

7.38pm

As for England, their side shows one change from the clash against Netherlands, and it comes on the left, as Luke Shaw replaces Kieran Trippier.

It will once again be a 3-4-2-1 formation for England, with Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden operating behind the captain Harry Kane.

When asked about bringing Shaw into the side, Southgate told BBC Sport: "He is an experienced played and we feel we have managed his return well. He gives us that balance in the team on the left hand side.

"Kieran Trippier has been brilliant for the team and the way he has handled the last few weeks has been top class."

7.36pm

Spain's team shows two changes from the one that started the quarter-final against France, with Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand returning from suspension, leading to Jesus Navas and Nacho dropping down to the bench.

Pedri is injured, but Alvaro Morata is fit to lead the line despite concerns over a knee problem which he appeared to suffer in a bizarre incident after the clash with France, when a security guard fell into him during the post-match celebrations.
