Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Euro 2020 last 16 encounter between France and Switzerland in Bucharest. Kick off 20:00 BST.

It's that left side once more. France are really getting at that Swiss defence in that area. This time a slick move sees Mbappe try to tease a low pass into the run of Griezmann but he can't quite take it in his stride.

Mbappe tries to cut past two to get a shot away. He's halted by the second but regains possession and marauds to the byline before clipping in a cross that Benzema is licking his lips over - until a timely headed intervention gets the Swiss off the hook.

Another dangerous cross from the left almost finds Benzema. It drops to Pogba who sees a 20-yard shot well blocked.

The Swiss respond and win a corner of their own but Elvedi heads high into the air and France are able to steer the second ball to safety.

It's a fast start from France. Elvedi does brilliantly to thwart Mbappe after the forward surged down the left and threatened to turn him inside out. The resulting corner is met by Varane but he heads well over despite evading any markers.

KICK OFF! We are underway.

FIVE TO GO: The players are out and the anthems are in full swing. It's a tough act to follow Spain v Croatia but whoever wins this won't care as long as they go through.

UEFA STAT: France haven't lost a competitive match in over two years, with their last such defeat coming against Turkey in a European Championship qualifier in June 2019, winning 14 times and drawing five times since. France last went on a longer unbeaten run in competitive matches from 1994 to 1999, a 27-game run, with current manager Didier Deschamps playing in 21 of them.

DID YOU KNOW? Petkovic is taking charge of his 77th match with Switzerland here. He has overseen 41 wins, 16 draws and 19 defeats. It sees him equal the all-time record number of matches of Austrian Karl Rappan, who was Switzerland coach back in the 1930s and 40s.

RESULT: Croatia 3-5 Spain aet. The winner of France v Switzerland will play La Roja in the last eight.

WATCH OUT FOR THE SHAQ-ATTACK: Liverpool’s Xherdan Shaqiri became Switzerland’s all-time leading scorer in major tournaments when he took his tally to seven with a double versus Turkey.

Vladimir Petkovic, Switzerland coach: "We were happy to win (v Turkey) and reach the Round of 16. We had a few days to wait to find out our opponents, but we’re happy to play against the world champions. Despite all the external talk – everyone is speaking as if we don’t have a chance – we believe in ourselves and we need to show what we can do on the pitch. We’re here and we want to keep living our dream."

A bit more on the team line-ups. Switzerland are unchanged from their victory over Turkey and stick with their familiar 3-4-1-2 formation. Meanwhile, it’s three changes from the 2-2 draw with Portugal for France. Pavard, Lenglet and Rabiot – who features at left-wing back - all come in.

H2H: France are unbeaten in their four previous meetings with Switzerland at a major tournament (W2, D2).

France captain Hugo Lloris: "Our talent too will help us carry on the adventure against high-quality opposition, who have achieved a lot in recent years. We have a lot of respect for the Swiss team. When you arrive at this stage of the competition, anything is possible. You have to respect your opponents. We are looking forward to starting this new competition as we know that the losers will go home."

Granit Xhaka: "I know Pogba and Kanté from the Premier League. I know the qualities they have. Pogba is a player who can decide a game by himself with his quality. Kanté is a player who is so good without the ball, but also with it. But we don’t need to focus on just these two; they have different qualities in the team. Shaqiri is an amazing player, he’s so important for us. He showed that in the last few years and against Turkey. We need a good Shaqiri (tonight)."

CONFIRMED STARTING XIs – FRANCE: Lloris, Pavard, Kimpembe, Varane, Lenglet, Pogba, Kante, Rabiot, Griezmann, Mbappe, Benzema. /// SWITZERLAND: Sommer, Rodriguez, Elvedi, Akanji, Widmer, Freuler, Xhaka, Zuber, Shaqiri, Embolo, Seferovic.
