Full-Time - Austria 0-1 France
It wasn't pretty but France have got their tournament up and running with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Austria.
Max Wober's own-goal was the difference between the two sides.
They say that eventual champions grow into tournaments and its clear that the two favourites France and England will need to do just that.

Kolo Muani pulls the ball back from the byline and Giroud has a golden chance from 12 yards, but France's record goalscorer swipes at thin air!

90+1' - Austria 0-1 France
Nine minutes of injury time announced as Griezmann and Mbappe are replaced by Fofana and Giroud.
Still time for Austria to get back into this.
85' - Austria 0-1 France
Excellent defending from Kante to get back and prevent an Austria counter attack, he's been doing that for years and there are not many better at breaking the play up.
Meanwhile, Mbappe is down receiving treatment after an accidental collision with Danso.
78' - Austria 0-1 France
Excellent goalkeeping from Maignan as he's out quickly to thwart Baumgartner for the second time in the game.
Its brave from the Milan 'keeper and both players require treatment.
Like England last night, its been efficient but not spectacular from France. They have just over 10 minutes plus injury time to negotiate.
71' - Austria 0-1 France
20 minutes remaining and Deschamps is making a double substitution.
Camvavinga and Kolo Muani aren't bad options to have from the bench and they come on for Rabiot and Dembele.

Griezmann can't quite on the end of a searching cross from Theo Hernandez, before Kounde saw his shot blocked from 12 yards.

60' - Austria 0-1 France
Ralf Rangnick isn't standing still and he makes a triple change with Austria needing a lift.

Marko Arnautovic, Gernot Trauner and Patrick Wimmer are on for Max Wober, Michael Gregoritsch and Florian Grillitsch.
55' - Austria 0-1 France
What a miss!
A blistering change of pace from Mbappe sees him leave the Austrian defence in his wake.
Clean through with only the keeper to beat and Mbappe somehow fires it wide.
A huge let off for Austria and still no European Championship goal for Mbappe.
50' - Austria 0-1 France
Better from France as Kante's interception almost leads to an opening.
They seemed to have upped their energy since half-time and are playing with much more purpose after the break.
46' - Austria 0-1 France
The second-half is underway and France need a much improved 45 minutes.
They hold a one-nil lead but they haven't offered much outside a couple of moments of brilliance from Mbappe.
Austria just need to carry on from where they left off and they'll continue to create openings.
Austria are 9/2 18/1
France are 1/5 10/11
Half-Time - Austria 0-1 France
Mbappe almost latches onto a ball over the top on the strike of half-time but he is just beaten to it by Pentz.
France lead at the interval through Max Wober's own goal but they have been far from convincing.
Austria have played well and are not out of this by any stretch.
38' - GOAL! Austria 0-1 France
It's slightly against the run of play but France have the lead!
A lovely bit of skill from Mbappe and his cross from the right is diverted into his own net by Wober.

What a chance for Austria!
An excellent move sees Sabitzer lay the ball off for Baumgartner and he is denied by the onrushing Maignan from close range.

It remains goalless here and this Austria side could be more than a match for Netherlands and Poland in their other group games based on this performance.

Remember, Kylian Mbappe has never scored at a European Championship...
He's 10/3

Ngolo Kante and Adrien Rabiot have got the nod in the centre of midfield tonight, and with Aurelien Tchouameni nearing a return to fitness, it's a chance for the duo to impress Didier Deschamps.
3' - Austria 0-0 France
No chances of note early on as France look to find their feet here.
Its Austria to kick off and we're underway in Dusseldorf!
Goals from Cody Gakpo and Wout Weghorst helped Netherlands win the opening game of Group D against Poland yesterday.
As a result Ronald Koeman's side are 21/10 to win the group, but France remain the favourites at 4/6.
Marcus Thuram starts ahead of Oliver Giroud this evening and could interchange with Mbappe from the left-wing to a central striker role throughout the game.
Thuram is 16/1

Antoine Griezmann - 15/2
Olivier Giroud - 15/2
Kingsley Coman - 14/1
Ousmane Dembele - 14/1
