2:49pm

It's not just pubs and clubs getting in on the act - these pupils at Regents Park Community College were delighted when Jamie Vardy equalised!

Daily Echo:

2:44pm

The jubilation has turned to anxiety again for the England fans as the team try, but so far fail, to grab a winner.

Not long left now!

2:39pm

We haven't seen anyone in Southampton dressed in a national flag onesie like this so far, which is probably for the best. 

Daily Echo:

 

2:33pm

Will it be a case of the irrestistible force against the immovable object? Plenty of fingernails left to be chewed by England fans as we near the final 15 minutes.

2:32pm

England fans roaring the team on now as 18-year-old Manchester United starlet Marcus Rashford comes on for Lallana.

2:27pm

...then this is more like it now.

Daily Echo:

If this was the picture in the first half...

Daily Echo:

2:20pm

Maybe Will Moore (see earlier post) should be in charge?

Within minutes of coming on Vardy's equalised for England. A very scruffy goal indeed, but the fans celebrating in pubs across Southampton don't care.

2:17pm

Things just got a bit more exciting at 90 Degrees!

It's not been great for England so far but there's euphoria at the Bedford Arms as Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge come on.

Daily Echo:

2:05pm

Chris Thorpe has turned up to the game in an England shirt and teamed it with a rather fetching hat!

The 20 year old student said: "Joe Hart could have done more to save the free kick but your make your own luck in football."

Daily Echo:

Penny for Roy's thoughts?

Daily Echo:

1:58pm

Here are some of the half-time reviews from England fans in The Alex in Southampton - and they don't make great reading for manager Roy Hodgson:

Will Moore, 19, a sales assistant at M&S, from Shirley, said: "It was the same old England unfortunately.

"Bring on Jamie Vardy and take Sterling off the pitch!"

Devan McClure, 20, a retail worker from Bassett, said: "It has been a disastrous first half from England!

"I have come to the Alexandra with two of my mates and we are disappointed with the playing so far."

Daily Echo:

1:47pm

Uh oh, Wales have scored - and who else could it be but former Saint Gareth Bale?

Daily Echo:

1:47pm

Women, men and students are at the Alexander waiting in hope of a goal from England and fans boo Wales when Harry Kane gets tackled.

There are cheers from fans outside and people shouting 'go on' when the ball gets close to the Wales goal.

1:34pm

Daily Echo:

England fans at Tokyo Bar on Bedford Place, Southampton. Nervous tension is in the air!

1:32pm

It's not just the pubs and bars of Hampshire that are getting into the spirit of it today:

1:28pm

Former Saint Adam Lallana has started quite brightly for England here.

Fans seem less happy about Raheem Sterling's contribution so far though...

1:23pm

The Alexandra pub in Bellevue road is filled with hundreds of people getting in their drinks for the England vs Wales match.

The door security is letting one in one out and cheers can be heard from outside the premises.

Punters have filled the garden area and there are around 200 people throughout the pub.

1:13pm

Groans around Hampshire there as Raheem Sterling skies a decent chance for England.

1:01pm

Daily Echo:

Caz Parker, Julie Adams, Kim Ansell and Sarah Emmett think it'll be 2-1 England with Rooney, Vardy and Bale to score.

So there's a former Saint starting for both teams today - Adam Lallana for England and Gareth Bale for Wales.

In case you missed it, earlier this week we reported that Lallana's dad Dave has opened a new masonic football lodge in Southampton.

No, really.

You can read more about it here.

11:52am

And Wales have made three changes - in come Hennessey, Ledley and Saturday's hero Hal Robson-Kanu.

Hennessey; Gunter, Chester, Williams (c), Taylor, Davies; Ledley, Ramsey, Allen; Robson-Kanu, Bale.

11:51am

England are unchanged for today's match by the way.

Here's the full team: 

Hart; Walker, Cahill, Smalling, Rose; Dier, Rooney (C), Alli; Lallana, Kane, Sterling.

So to no great surprise Saints duo Fraser Forster and Ryan Bertrand remain on the bench.

11:42am

Former Saints star Gareth Bale insisted he could deal with rough treatment from England.

Bale, pictured below, said: "You always get it. [Slovakia[ had a nice nibble on Saturday.

"I don't think I've said anything to be bad to be honest. I've given my opinion what our country is about."

Despite the excitement at home, there have been unpleasant scenes in France as football fans clashed before and after games.

UEFA has threatened to kick Russia out of the European Championships if more violence occurs.

In Lille police charged charged chanting fans and sprayed tear gas in an attempt to disperse crowds.

In total 36 people were arrested following clashes where bangers and flares were lit.

England manager Roy Hodgson called for a show of mutual respect between fans today.

He said: ""If you ask me what I would like, I'd like to see both national anthems totally and utterly respected.

"Whether we will see that or not I don't know. We are here to play football. These are matters we cannot affect.

"The fact that it's a game between brothers, if you like, adds spice to it and interest. That's something I can only welcome."

The bunting is coming out, revellers are dressing up in costume, and pubs and clubs are getting ready for bumper crowds.

No, it's not a monarch's birthday - it's much more important than that.

England are set to take on Wales at 2pm in a crucially-important match at Euro 2016, and the Three Lions will be keen to get all three points after a disappointing draw against Russia.

But Wales, who beat Slovakia in their opening game, will be no pushovers.

We will be bringing you the action throughout the day, including the scenes as fans watch the action in Southampton.

So sit back and enjoy!
