38'
Another offside decision against Germany. Will Mario Gomez come on in the second period? The lack of a recognised centre forward still an underlying issue for Die Mannschaft.
37'
Ozil cuts in from the right but there's no real conviction in his shot and Poland move it clear once more.
36'
35'
Not much tempo to this match now. Poland being allowed to organise and get men behind the ball as Germnay probe a tad too slowly.
34'

Ozil booked for tugging back Grzegorz Krychowiak. Didn't look much in it.
33'
Lewandowski did not have a single shot against Northern Ireland but has scored in two of his three appearances for Poland against Germany. Can he do it again tonight? He's a bit starved of service despite showing hunger to get involved.
32'
Draxler slaloms in from the left but runs into a row of red shirts and sees his speculative shot easily charged down.
31'
Meanwhile, on the touchline...
30'
Brief concerns for Germany as Khedira pulls up with a knock. He seems to okay though and looks set to continue.
29'

28'
A short corner is worked to Lukasz Piszczek who engineers a better angle and whips a devilish cross into the middle that is smartly nodded away.
27'
Lewandowski looking more lively as this half develops. He turns into space on the right but sees his cross blocked by Boateng.
26'
Kroos doing what he does best... STAT: Kroos has completed 96% of his 27 passes so far...
25'
Milik spins into space on the right but can't get his cross past Hummels after lovely hold-up play by Lewandowski.

24'
Germany on top but their early zest has gone a bit flat now.
23'
Surprising to see Kamil Grosicki come in for Bartosz Kapustka tonight. The latter was a star man against Northern Ireland and a real star in the making.
22'
Better from Poland as Lewandowski sees an attempt from 20 yards well blocked.
21'
PREVIOUS: Germany have not lost in four encounters with Poland at major tournament finals, keeping clean sheet each time. They won 2-0 at Euro 2008, 1-0 at the 2006 World Cup and 1-0 at the 1974 World Cup (as West Germany). West Germany and Poland also drew 0-0 at the 1978 World Cup.
19'
SHOTS: Germany 4-0 Poland.

Hummels hacks down Lewandowski just inside the German half. The new Bayern man literally leaving a mark on his new teammate!
