Follow all the action as England welcome Ivory Coast to Wembley for an international friendly.

Gareth Southgate’s side are hoping to build on their 2-1 comeback win against Switzerland last weekend as preparations continue ahead of the World Cup later this year. Harry Kane’s second-half penalty ensured the Three Lions of victory on that occasion while Marc Guehi, Kyle Walker-Peters and Tyrick Mitchell all made their debuts.

Ivory Coast will provide a stern test, though, and pushed France all the way last time out. Aurelien Tchouameni’s last-gasp winner ensured the world champions of victory after Arsenal’s Nicolas Pepe had initially given the visitors the lead in the first-half. They count a number of established Premier League players among their ranks, including Maxwel Cornet and Eric Bailly.
