we're on the cusp of a colossal occasion a semi-final encounter here at the euros and the nerves must surely be jangling who will come out on top [Applause] stay tuned to [Applause] eatv the oldest International rivalry of them all but never before has there been an England Scotland meeting of such importance the semifinal here at the Euros I'm Derek Ray and sitting next to me in the commentary position is Stuart Robson Stuart it's t here it certainly is tense but I'll go back to my childhood believe it or not this was one of the only live games you could ever see on British television and it was the big game England versus Scotland but as you you can't really tackle like that and expect to get away with it booking to come you would think well there it is the first caution of this match well he didn't need to make the challenge did he he's under pressure now there's a long time to go in this game [Applause] trapier and Bellingham and now Shaw he cuts it back Boden chot block but still alive oh that's really untidy now Defenders having to cover up but I'll tell you what I really admire the fact that Jude Bellingham can do just about everything he can score he can set up chances he can oh D what a chance this is and saved by The Keeper well it was caught nicely enough but the fact of the matter is it wasn't on target [Applause] Trent Alexander [Applause] Arnold here's Luke Shaw Walker now good K oaka good technique [Applause] displayed and drawing it back and a good challenge to bring that attack to an end oh he looks threatening Robertson and swiftly ending that attack Phil foden tripo now Robertson has got a bad ball well far from the ideal header and the goalkeeper had it all the way Walker and Bellingham rice Saka foden Kane well they keep working away looking for passing Lanes Birmingham missing the Target by a tiny margin well it's a difficult skill to get right but he almost ped it off there he made such good contact with the ball [Applause] and England have it back and scope for them to produce something exciting but a good piece of Defending to bring it to an end that is how to apply the pressure Jay Adams [Applause] chrisy very quick thinking there Scott Momin now with [Applause] ti free kick awarded then by the referee good through ball weared away comprehensively Saka oh that's a really good pass can he keep his composure and there it is the first goal on the semifinal a huge moment extraordinary [Applause] SS well here it is again the ball over the top is an absolute Beauty and it's a good run matched by a very cool finish what a great goal that is [Music] are back underway and one n it is let's see what happens next Jay [Applause] Adams K McGregor feeding it through but he missed the Target and then some what side it [Applause] went Saka Trio now foden [Applause] opportunity well the fan and touched onto the frame of the [Applause] goal foden and on to Bellingham and a useful cross well nothing comes of it Jude Bellingham well he's certainly not [Applause] alone has a go and just narrowly wide in the end [Applause] mcin Ralston Walker now trippier well while the score line means they can focus on keeping possession now what can England do from this position well he could have put it away again but credit to the goalkeeper well the way he's playing He's Surely going to get his second goal soon [Applause] here now sending it in and dealt with it nicely they'll repeat the trick Corner [Applause] again struggling to get it away Jon Stones decent looking [Applause] pass looking for someone to play it to and a fine stop to turn the ball away well perhaps an opportunity here for England to extend their [Applause] lead and taken short and the cross not sufficiently well played in and the whistle is sounded for halime in this game so they get the ball rolling once more and it's Advantage England after the first half let's see what the second 45 has in store for [Applause] us great vision from Harry Kane and a goal how about that as they increase their advantage and who's to say they won't be going to the final at this rate well as the replay shows that's such a brilliant bit of skill to set up the chance and then the perfect finish from foden great technique there's no stopping that 2-0 now and back on theway Christie Jay Adams trying to open up the defense and it goes he's made it a brace for himself no stopping him apparently well here we can see it again he's shown outstanding Vision to find the perfect cutback but I think the defending is poor how can the goalkeeper be left so exposed with two players running at him mind you it's still a great team goal this is looking rather comfortable for them 3 n Jack Henry and now with [Applause] mcin Adams Scotland losing possession Phil [Applause] foden dangerous looking through ball [Applause] Hanley mcin Jay Adams very quick thinking there Walker has a go he's blocked it and the substitution will now and deciding to go short with this [Applause] one ideal for the goalkeeper for any keeper well doesn't have to do it on his own Kane the fans want to see a shot perfectly positioned to take it away dominate a real opening now and in oh yes exactly what they were hoping to produce they've delivered the goal well let's see this again this is counterattacking football at its very best and there's certainly no doubt about the Finish he really hits it with power and accuracy nothing the keeper can do about [Applause] that so they get the ball moving again 3-1 the score line here what going to happen [Applause] next Harry [Applause] Kane Saka an effective ball Crossing opportunity this might be the perfect counterattacking opportunity oh this is looking promising and there it breaks down but credit to the defense Jude Bellingham Phil Fen now space for England out wide and Bellingham Crossing into the middle attending to his defensive chores and a good challenge to bring that attack to an end foden incisive pass well the fans really want him to shoot and an astute piece of Defending effective piece of pressing John mcin well we're inside the final quarter of an hour now it's a waited pass oh it's cheeky oh and it goes another goal and I'll tell you what the impossible is becoming quite possible well here's the replay and he shows great awareness to play this through ball and the requires such good technique that's a brilliant bit of skill what a [Applause] goal underway again and we're being treated to plenty of goals 3-2 at the moment Stones the referee allow having advantage to a crew to them Alexander Arnold now Harry [Applause] Kane promising sequence Kane onto Alexander Arnold well they're eyeing that final pass you just [Applause] feel podden able to clear the danger at least for now mcin Anthony Ralston and space to attack not do they have iton them to level this real chance and the goalkeeper has outdone himself with that save good referee in Waiting for a natural pause before booking [Applause] him and they will make the change now [Applause] [Applause] [Music] and deciding to go short with this one fine cross into the middle well body in the way just can't get it past them here's Luke Shaw now with Bellingham England looking dangerous well no point in stopping play Advantage with them Walker and on to Alexander [Applause] Arnold could cross it in here [Applause] and nicely struck oh could have given them an even healthier Advantage well it's a good effort to extend their lead but the game still in the balance here [Applause] really good [Applause] challenge Harry K and there it is it's official now England will take part in the final here at the European Championship well they are in the final and deservedly so but that was tight in the end they played some lovely attacking football but at times they look vulnerable to the Counterattack and they will need to improve that in the final well I don't think Stuart anyone can really quibble about what he put into the game well he should be pleased with himself today because he performed really well he scored a good goal and they won the game an excellent day all around [Applause]
