'Absolutely delighted for him' - Southgate on Bellingham UCL win

England begin their preparations for Euro 2024 this evening, with Bosnia and Herzegovina their opponents in a first warm-up friendly encounter, with another to come against Iceland on Friday.

After that it’s onto the tournament itself with Gareth Southgate’s side facing Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia in the group stage - though before that, the manager must cut his squad from 33 down to 26, making Monday night’s match a crucial one for a handful of hopefuls who still have something to prove before the final group is confirmed for Germany.

Matters are further complicated by a handful of players not being available this time around, with Luke Shaw still injured, John Stones joining the squad late and Jude Bellingham winning the Champions League final on Saturday night. That means opportunity knocks for others, though, and they must quickly impress Southgate to make the plane.

Follow all the action between England and Bosnia below:

FULL-TIME! England 3-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina

94 mins: FULL-TIME! Maddison has one last chance to find Grealish on the overlap but he’s dispossessed and the whsitle blows!

A decent second half from the Three Lions, with two debutants and a couple of players who’ll have played their way into the mind of Gareth Southgate.

GOAL! England 3-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina

88mins: GOAL! Scrappy, but Kane won’t care!

Grealish has the ball in the box and he plays a lovely disguised pass to the overlapping Maddison. He cuts it back to Bowen, whose shot is blocked on the line by Konsa!

Nevertheless, it bounces back out to Kane, who manages to turn it in.

England 2-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina

87 mins: Lovely from Gallagher, who finds himself in space and beats two men before unleashing a shot that is saved behind fora corner.

GOAL! England 2-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina

85 mins: GOAL! That is superb.

England put in a series of crosses that come to nothing, before Wharton spreads it to Grealish. He takes his time before hooking in a cross towards Alexander-Arnold, and the Liverpool man hits a sublime volley that goes across the ‘keeper and creeps in at the far post.

England 1-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina

82 mins: Two more changes for Bosnia. Gigovic and Ahmedhodzic come off for Burnic and Muharemovic.

England 1-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina

81 mins: A lot more narrow from England now, with Grealish providing a little less width than Eze.

Alexander-Arnold does well to pick out Grealish with the diagonal. The City winger drives into the box and cuts on the outside before playing a pass to Maddison, but the Spurs man mistimes his touch and can only get a scuffed shot away.

78 mins: Alexander-Arnold almost releases Kane down the middle, but it’s a poor touch from the captain.
