Hello and welcome to LIVE text commentary of the Euro 2016, last-16 clash between Germany and Slovakia at Stade Pierre-Mauroy near Lille.

FT: Germany 3-0 Slovakia. The world champions hit form at just the right time as they ease into the last eight with the minimum of fuss. Goals from Boateng, Gomez and Draxler do the damage while Ozil missed a penalty. Die Mannschaft will now meet Spain or Italy next.

Kucka booked. Slovakia playing the last seconds of their Euro 2016 campaign now.

SAVE! A Germany break sees the ball drop for Kroos who sees his shot well saved.

Two minutes added. Germany looking for the fourth.

Chance to put some icing on the cake but Hector blazes his cross way beyond Gomez at the far post. Germany had cut Slovakia to bits down the left there.

ATTEMPTS: Germany 17-7 Slovakia.

Slovakia just want the whistle now. Germany playing keep-ball.

It's been a stroll in the park for Germany for most of today. Ozil delivers another corner but for once Slovakia's defence holds firm from a set piece.

Fair to say Germany are up there as favourites for the trophy after this performance? I'd say so...

SLOVAKIA CHANGE: Gyomber off, Salata on.

A reminder that Germany will meet either Spain or Italy in the last eight. A clash worthy of the final whichever side makes it through.

Another Schweinsteiger stat: He equals Lilian Thuram (FRA, 16) and Edwin van der Sar (NED, 16) in second place on the all-time appearances list at the EUROs. Only Cristiano Ronaldo (POR, 18) has played more.

Podolski in for a fourth... but he's flagged offside.

Harsh but funny.

DID YOU KNOW? Bastian Schweinsteiger has now played in 36 games at major tournaments, equalling Lothar Matthäus. Only Miroslav Klose (37) has featured more times at the World Cup and European Championships for Germany.

GERMANY CHANGE: Khedira off, Schweinsteiger on.

VIDEO: Draxler's volley.

Signs today that Draxler could be starting to live up to the hype that saw him hailed as a wonderkid a few years back.

Just a question of how many Germany get now as the crowd sing 'Ole' with every pass.

GERMANY CHANGE: Draxler off, Podolski on.
