17' SAVE! A loose offload from Walker presents Yaremchuk with the chance to surge towards the England box. He breaks past Stones in the left-inside channel and fires towards goal. Pickford is alert and parries the ball behind for a corner.
15' Walker has space to raid down the right flank, but his attempt to send a low cross into the box is denied Matvyenko.
14' There's still plenty of hope for Ukraine, despite conceding the opener. England's record when scoring in the opening 4 minutes at the Euros - W0 D2 L3.
12' Yaremchuk sends Yarmolenko into space down the right flank, but his low cross towards the near post is blocked by Rice and cleared by the Three Lions.
10' Shevchenko's men have responded to going behind, but now they are going to have to find a way to penetrate the England defence that has not conceded a goal at the tournament.
8' Ukraine win a free-kick on the right flank as Karavaev draws a foul from Sterling. Yarmolenko curls a cross into the box on his left foot, but England repel the danger.
7' England have scored their earliest goal in a European Championship match (03:32) since Michael Owen v Portugal in 2004 (02:25).
6' BLOCK! Yaremchuk finds space on the edge of the box and goes for a drive at goal, but his effort is closed down by Stones.
3' England are getting their foot on the ball in the early stages of the game, but Ukraine are solid in their defence.
1' We're under way at the Stadio Olimpico.
England have lost just one of their seven meetings with Ukraine in all competitions (W4 D2), going down 0-1 in October 2009 in a World Cup qualifier. The last two games between the sides have finished level, with this the first meeting since September 2013 (0-0 in Kiev).
Southgate has called Sancho into the England starting line-up for the first time of the tournament. Sancho agreed a deal to sign for Manchester United during the week, and now slots into the team to replace the injured Bukayo Saka in the final third. Trippier drops to the bench for the Three Lions to accomodate Mount, which sees England revert to a four-man defence.
Ukraine have made one change to their side that beat Sweden last time out. Stepanenko drops to the bench and is replaced by Mykolenko, who starts on the left side of a five-man midfield. Zinchenko moves inside to replace Stepanenko. There is no place in the starting line-up for Dovbyk, despite his winning goal in the round of 16.

England slayed a metaphorical dragon by defeating Germany 2-0 in their round-of-16 clash courtesy of goals from Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane. Gareth Southgate was maligned for his team selection, but his players proved him right on the field. They now need to raise the level of their game to reach the last four of the Euros for the first time since 1996. The Three Lions have been solid at the back, but the onus will be on them to breakdown Ukraine in Rome tonight.
Ukraine are bidding to reach the semi-finals of a major tournament for the first time. Artem Dovbyk's strike in stoppage time in extra-time guided them past Sweden in the round of 16, presenting Andriy Shevchenko and his team with a huge opportunity to progress. England are their obstacle this evening and will present a tough challenge. Ukraine have been beaten twice in the competition to date, but have risen to the occasion when it has mattered the most. They need a flawless outing today.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Euro 2020 quarter-final contest between Ukraine and England at the Stadio Olimpico.
