- 22:58 (IST)England vs Switzerland LIVE: No shots on targetZero shots on target for England and just one for Switzerland - this game really did not have many chances for either team. This has been a slow but steady tactic by both teams but considering the dearth of opportunities, this game can also be decided in extra time or even penalties.
- 22:52 (IST)England vs Switzerland LIVE: A stalemateThe best word to describe the match till now - stalemate. Both teams are trying extremely hard to come up with a viable attack but no clear cut chances as of now. This has been a problem for England who struggled to score and needed very late goals in their last game as well.
- 22:32 (IST)England vs Switzerland LIVE: Time for the second halfThe second half begins and this will be a very important 45 minutes for England. Gareth Southgate is already under a lot of pressure for how his team has performed in this tournament. A loss in this game can even lead to him losing his job. Switzerland, on the other hand, will be looking to extend their giant-killing streak.
- 22:14 (IST)England vs Switzerland LIVE: A half of missed chancesBoth England and Switzerland had good chances to take the lead but the finishing has been a problem for both sides. Multiple build-ups down the wingers but without a proper showing from the strikers, this match did not have a clear cut chance for any side.
- 22:08 (IST)England vs Switzerland LIVE: The last quarterfinalTurkey face the Netherlands in a Euro 2024 quarter-final which has been overshadowed by a diplomatic row between the Turks and Germany. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will attend the match at Berlin's Olympiastadion amidst a political spat between his country and host nation Germany over a controversial gesture by banned Turkey defender Merih Demiral.
- 22:05 (IST)England vs Switzerland LIVE: Yellow cardYellow card for Fabian Schar. A rash challenge on Jude Bellingham resulted in the first booking of the match and Switzerland will have to be careful. England have found their rhythm and it will be difficult to stop them with the threat of red cards.
- 22:00 (IST)England vs Switzerland LIVE: Waves of attacksLooks like England have found a sudden boost in the midfield with Saka forming a proper partnership with Bellingham. However, with Bellingham playing just behind the striker Kane, there is a slight confusion in the ranks when it comes to the focal point of the crosses.
- 21:42 (IST)England vs Switzerland LIVE: Swiss precisionA lot of people expected to England to go on the offensive but Switzerland are not sitting back. They are relying on quick cut backs from their wingers and it took a good showing from Mainoo and Konsa to stop their strikers from reaching the final pass.
- 21:38 (IST)England vs Switzerland LIVE: Dangerous SakaThere were a lot of speculations regarding where Bakayo Saka may play but he is currently operating as an winger and he has been quite effective. A couple of attacks from his side of the pitch but the final ball has not been good enough to bring Harry Kane into business.
- 20:58 (IST)England vs Switzerland LIVE: Change in playersEngland manager Gareth Southgate made just one change to his side for Saturday's Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland but is expected to switch formation in Duesseldorf. Ezri Konsa replaces the suspended Marc Guehi, but the Aston Villa defender is set to slot into a back three alongside John Stones and Kyle Walker.
