94'
CHANCE! Kane flashes a shot at goal from wide on the right of the area. Schmeichel makes a good one-handed save to keep it out, and the loose ball is scrambled clear.
93'
Grealish is a bother for Denmark. He spins between two in the centre circle, and Poulsen crudely hauls him down.

We're underway again, no changes. Hold tight folks...
FT
This is no picnic as Des once said, in London or Copenhagen, Manchester or Aarhus.
End of 2nd Half
FT
One final scare for Denmark as England swarm around their box. Grelaish feeds it low into Kane, who can't connect cleanly on the edge of the six-yard box, and Denmark clear. That's full-time, and we've got 30 more minutes in the post.
90+5'
Vestergaard fouls Kane on the right touchline, free kick to England. Mount lofts it high to the back post, Maguire wins it, but it's a soft header that Schmeichel gathers comfortably.
90+3'
England just can't get through Denmark's 5-5 here. It's a stalemate, can either side force the issue? Kane works the ball to Phillips on the edge, who blazes a shot high over the bar.
90'
England pop it around the edge of the Danish area, but space is at a premium. We'll have six additional minutes, minimum.
88'
Mathias Jensen replaces Delaney for Denmark.

87'
Grealish can't get the ball out of the bottom right corner for England, and Poulsen wins a corner.
85'
Poulsen gets away with one, as he tugs Maguire's shirt after coughing the ball up. It probably should be a yellow but in fairness to Makkalie, he's overseen a wonderfully flowing game here.
84'
A long, patient move from Denmark, orchestrated by Poulsen holding the ball up with his back to goal, ends with Delaney floating a cross harmlessly out of play. My word this is tense now.
83'
Shaw whips the dead ball into the area. Stones meets it, but it's a glancing contact and drifts well wide of goal.
82'
Mount rolls around Delaney and is wrestled as he does so. Free kick to England on the left, and Delaney's a bit luck not to see yellow there.
80'
Grealish and Mount work Shaw into a crossing position on the left. It's cleared, and Phillips drags a low half-volley well wide from 25 yards out.
79'
Christensen was struggling with his hamstring earlier in the half, and after stretching for a ball here his game is done. Joachim Anderson comes on.

77'
Denmark have gone 3-5-2, with Poulsen and Braithwaite up front. It's working, as England aren't playing it around them in the middle anymore.
74'
VAR CHECK! A big call here, as Norgaard steps across Kane to dispossess him just inside the area. Initially, it's given as a free kick to Denmark, and a check doesn't result in inviting Makkelie for another look. That seems fair, though in a sense they both fouled each other as Kane kicked through Norgaard's heel. On we go.
73'
Mount jinks to the line on the right. He shanks his cross slightly, and Schmeichel back-peddles to palm it over for a corner.
72'
Grealish bursts away from Vass and forces the foul. His ability to commit defenders and draw fouls is quite something, tired legs in the box beware.

Southgate calls Mount to the touchline, and energetically offers some instructions. We've got 20 and change left, maybe more, for a place in the final on Sunday.
