England's bid to end 50 years without winning a major international tournament takes centre stage as Roy Hodgson's men take on Russia.

England were the only team in the finals to win all 10 qualifying matches and there is optimism that a new-look Three Lions could shock favourites France, Germany and Spain.

Premier League top-scorer Harry Kane is expected to lead the line. But Leicester City's title-winning hero Jamie Vardy may have to settle for a place on the bench to accommodate captain and England's all-time record goalscorer Wayne Rooney.

Fans have clashed with French police for two days running in Marseille but England manager said his side are anxious to start the campaign.

"We are fully aware of what a good team Russia are, we're aware of their experience and of their quality," Hodgson said, ahead of the match.

"As far as we're concerned, tomorrow can't come soon enough," he added.
