58'

That’s eight goals in six international starts from Giroud. He’s on fire.

57'

GOAL FRANCE! It’s the goal the country has been waiting for at Giroud heads home from Payet’s cross, outjumping Tătăruşanu. Relief all around.

56'

SAVE! Payet finds Pogba and his excellent volley is straight at Tătăruşanu, who blocks for a corner.

55'

Payet’s pass just too long for Pogba but he keeps the ball in play and France build another attack.

54'

53'

A poor challenge from Chiricheş on Matuidi. Very lucky to get away with that. Could easily have been a second yellow.

52'

Olivier Giroud is the only player of France's squad to have netted twice in a single match at Stade de France. He scored two goals for France against Norway in a friendly on 27 May 2014.

51'

CHANCE! Payet slides in the ball to Giroud but his shot is straight at Tătăruşanu.

50'

The German team watching on with interest.

49'

France giving the ball away very sloppily, allowing Romania to break. They haven’t woken up since half time.

48'

CHANCE! Romania starting the second half brightly and Stanciu crosses into Stancu, who volleys wide.

47'

No changes for either side at the start of this second half. Cross from Săpunaru drifts out for a corner. Disappointing.

46'

The only opening goal at the European Championship of France was scored by Michel Platini in 1984 vs Denmark (1-0). Romania have yet to score the opening goal at the EUROs.

45'

Back underway here at Stade de France and the hosts could really do with a goal to settle their nerves. The longer it goes, the worse it will get…

France have lost three of their last four matches at Stade de France with a level score at half-time. The only win was vs Spain on 4 September 2014 (1-0).

HALF TIME: France 0 Romania 0

45+1'

CLOSE! Grigore concedes a corner at the end of this half. In it comes from Payet and headed over the bar from Giroud!
