53'
Silva tries to pass to Iniesta from the edge of the area following a move involving Fabregas. But why did he not shoot instead?
52'
Fabregas tries a very optimistic effort from 30 yards that sails well over the Italy bar.
51'
Chiellini hacks clear an effort from Pique, and Italy breathe again. A good start to the second half from Spain.
50'
Barzagli checks Morata, but Cakir says no foul. He then blows up for a foul by De Rossi on Iniesta.
49'
CHANCE: De Rossi flicks Silva's free-kick away for a corner. Morata then heads a great chance straight at Buffon from close range.
48'
Bonucci hand balls a cross from Juanfran down the right and Spain and Silva have a chance to swing a ball in.
47'
Ramos manages to clear a corner, then Pique holds off a run down the left by Giaccherini.
2nd Half
46'
Italy kick off the second half - I suspect Spain will keep the same shape, with Nolito pushed wider.

35-year-old Aritz Aduriz replaces Nolito for Spain up front.

Ramos heads clear Florenzi's corner from the right, and that is the half-time whistle. Italy lead the European champions 1-0 at the Stade de France.
End of 1st Half
45'
SAVE: Three players swarm Nolito after he miscontrols - Giaccherini breaks down the left on the counter and De Gea makes a brilliant flying save.
44'
Pelle sets up Parolo, who in turn feeds Florenzi, but his cross from the right is too close to De Gea.
43'
Fabregas is late on De Sciglio and is perhaps lucky not to receive a yellow card.
42'
Nolito pulls the ball back form the right but Pique is crowded out by three blue shirts - magnificent defending again.
41'
Yellow card for Nolito for a naughty challenge on De Rossi, where he stepped on his boot.

39'
Eder drifts past Ramos but then holds up, and De Rossi gives the ball away when trying to switch play from right to left.
38'
Spain get an unexpected corner as Buffon is unable to get a hand on Bonucci's misplaced header. Buffon is out smartly to punch Nolito's corner clear though.
36'
Silva's free-kick towards Ramos is overhit - a pity as the Spain captain was onside and unmarked at the far post.
35'
Pelle goes through Iniesta and Spain have a free-kick 35 yards from Buffon's goal.
