After learning that they'll face hosts Sweden in the semi-final,  the Three Lions trained in the sunshine Varberg on Wednesday morning.

All 23 of Stuart Pearce's squad trained on what was the hottest day of the tournament so far.  The team looked sharp, with every player eager to get into the starting line-up in Gothenburg on Friday night.
