Key events
24 min: More pressure from Colombia. It’s a tidy spell from them. Quintero tries to nip a sneaky pass into the box for Arias but just over-hits it a smidgin.
22 min: Colombia enjoy their best bit of play around the English box so far. Quintero probed a tad before bringing in Cuadrado, who had a bash from 25 yards. It deviated off Maguire towards Falcao, who tried to pounce on the breaking ball and get off a shot from 18 yards. But Stones closed him down quickly.
20 min: Trippier is a regular danger down the right. Sterling is looking menacing, too. England, in general, are full of pace and elusive movement.
18 min: Colombia put together a few passes. But then, unable to make any inroads, they go for a long ball towards Falcao. Pickford collects it without bother. “I’m watching this in my Rear Window-esque apartment in Paris,” brags Marcus Foley. “It’s the quietest match I’ve heard so far from the other 23 households here. It can only be because the French are terrified of meeting ‘Arry Kin and Trippee-ay in the final.”
16 min: Trippier hurtles down the right to collect a pass from Lingard and delvier a super cross towards the back post. Kane has to arc his back and strain his neck even to get a touch on it ... and he nearly direct it on to the target from a difficult angle. Instead it dropped on to the roof of the net.
