Southgate makes his first change of the night and it's Rashford who comes on for Sterling.

Make no mistake, England are rocking here. Croatia are all over them. Southgate needs to impart some wisdom to his players here. They need to be calm. They need to regroup.
OFF THE POST! Croatia within inches of taking the lead. Perisic shifted the ball on to his left foot and smashed a shot across Pickford. But while it beat goalkeeper, it didn't beat the post!
Now it's real. Croatia have picked things up since the start of the second half and now they have the goal that their pressure probably warranted. They have played so many crosses into the box.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Croatia 1 (69 mins - Ivan Perisic) England 1. An equaliser! Croatia have levelled things up! Perisic got in there ahead of Walker, who was trying to make the clearance with a header, and the Inter winger flicks home the finish with the outside of his foot! Massive, massive goal.
Goal
I. Perišic
WALKER DOWN! The England full back turned central defender is receiving some treatment at the moment, but doesn't look to be serious. He took a blow by making that block.
PERISIC! BIG BLOCK! England looked to be in trouble there. Modric's cross was only headed to the edge of the box, where Perisic controlled it. Walker threw himself in front of the shot, though!
England are finding it more difficult to keep hold of the ball in the centre of the pitch. They are still dangerous on the counter attack, but can they see this out purely in that way?
STERLING WAS IN BEHIND! That was an opportunity for Sterling to either get a shot away or cross into the middle. In the end, he does neither. Shouts for a spot kick were half-hearted.
RAKITIC SHOOTS OVER! That was a half chance for the Barcelona midfielder, but he leans over the ball and shoots over the bar. Rakitic has been somewhat disappointing so far.
This has been much better from Croatia in this second half. They are starting to dictate things, they are seeing much more of the ball and pushing England back into their own half.
England are being tested now. Croatia are getting crosses into the box, putting the Englisg defence under pressure. For the moment, though, the Three Lions are dealing with it.
WHAT A CROSS! That was a wonderful ball by Trippier. Kane was making the run to the near post, but some exceptional defending from Lovren prevented him from getting on the end of it.
LINGARD SHOT DEFLECTED! Good effort by the England number seven. He took aim from about 20 yards out. It was on target, but it took a deflection and spun up over the bar.
But why?
Walker is shown a yellow card. Of course, yellow cards are scrubbed after the quarter finals.
