Key events
Getting warm.
Rumours of England’s demise are somewhat over-exaggerated.
More on the Wales bus crash.
Shep-en-Isis has lain in a glass coffin there for more than 200 years after being removed from her tomb on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor and, eventually, gifted to the north-eastern Swiss city. Just lately, though, there has been quite an argument about whether she should leave her adopted monastic home and be returned to Egypt.
Louise Taylor takes a look at Wales’s chances.

Preamble
This is the moment for Wales, they need something here to stay in the competition. They were brushed aside by the Netherlands and then their team bus crashed, forcing training to be cancelled. Obviously reaching this tournament is an incredible achievement for the Welsh but what an historic moment it would be to get points on the board.
France, on the other hand, want qualification for the knockout stages done and dusted tonight. They will want six points on the board going into a final game against the Netherlands. France were the better side in their opening victory over England and a similar performance here would make them a very difficult opponent for the Welsh.
Kick-off: 8pm BST/9 CET
