HALF TIME

40'Rodwell seems embued with confidence having scored England's equaliser. Here he steals the ball in midfield and bursts forward before letting fly from the edge of the area. His shot sails narrowly over.

39'Germany seem to have stuttered since taking the lead and England have gradually taken more and more of their territory.

36'Yellow cardDanny Rose. Rose does his best to meet Andrew Driver's cross but the referee deems it to be handball and gives him a yellow card.

32'Ozil looks to find space behind the England defence but is caught offside by the Three Lions backline.

29'Goal scoredJack Rodwell. The Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell scores a superb header from Craig Gardner's corner. The second youngest player in the tournament, that will certainly give him a boost.

27'Craig Gardner hits a tremendous crossfield pass to Adam Johnson on the other wing.

23'I'm sure there's a pun somewhere in the pairing of Stearman and Driver on the right flank. Send your best effort to editorial@thefa.com

21'Richard Stearman shows fine skill on the right flank and interchanges with Gardner in the area. Claims for a penalty are turned down by referee Rasmussen.

18'Craig Gardner heads firmly, but directly into the arms of Neuer. The chance came after concerted pressure from England and a fine cross from debutant Andrew Driver.

16'England assert their authority once more after German had stunned them with a goal from their first attack. Measured possession the order of the day.

14'A long hopeful ball is not dealt with by Andreas Beck in the German defence, and England win a corner as a result. Rodwell climbs highest but heads over.
