England took part in their first training session since arriving at their base in Liberec in the Czech Republic, as they prepare for Monday's game against their hosts in the European Championship finals.

After arriving at their base late on Saturday, the squad's final training ground session before the opening game took place in driving rain at the Nová Ves training ground, around five miles north of the base in Liberec.

With the game coming just 24 hours later than the session, it was a relatively light working for the squad following the hard work that was done in England at both Burton and in Essex prior to arriving in the Czech Republic.
