After last night's results, the equation is relatively straightforward. England are already through, but know they have to win tonight to top the group and set up another home match in the round of 16.

As for Scotland, a win will definitely be enough to take them through, even if it is as one of the best third-placed sides.

Very much all to play for!

5:17pm

Good evening!

It's set to be a big night of drama as Group D reaches its conclusion at Euro 2020.

I am in position at Wembley to see if England can secure top spot by beating Czech Republic.

Meanwhile, Saints duo Che Adams and Stuart Armstrong will be looking to help Scotland join them by defeating Croatia at Hampden Park.

Updates from both will be available here throughout the evening, with kick-off for both games coming at 8pm.
