England v Bosnia LIVE: Latest score and updates from Euro 2024 warm-up
England begin their preparations for Euro 2024 this evening, with Bosnia and Herzegovina their opponents in a first warm-up friendly encounter, with another to come against Iceland on Friday.
After that it’s onto the tournament itself with Gareth Southgate’s side facing Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia in the group stage – though before that, the manager must cut his squad from 33 down to 26, making Monday night’s match a crucial one for a handful of hopefuls who still have something to prove before the final group is confirmed for Germany.
Matters are further complicated by a handful of players not being available this time around, with Luke Shaw still injured, John Stones joining the squad late and Jude Bellingham winning the Champions League final on Saturday night. That means opportunity knocks for others, though, and they must quickly impress Southgate to make the plane.
Follow all the action between England and Bosnia below:
England 0-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina
44 mins: A lull in activity as the half draws to a close, though Palmer is inches away from pouncing on a loose ball that would’ve put him clean through.
Bowen finds the ball on the right and dribbles wide past the challenge before delivering an inviting ball in, but England can’t make anything of it despite Watkins regaining possession.

41 mins: A decent chance for Bosnia as Guehi plays a loose pass that runs straight to a white shirt. Hajradinovic hits the shot, but it’s deflected behind after Dunk blocks, and Bosnia can’t make anything of the corner.

39 mins: Alexander-Arnold does well to keep possession in the middle and spread a pass to Konsa.
England build again and Palmer exchanges passes with Konsa, before clipping a ball in towards Watkins in the box, but it runs out of play again.

England 0-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina
37 mins: A little bit laboured from England in the last few minutes. Plenty of passing sideways, and not a lot of penetration.
Only Eze and Palmer have strengthened their case to be on the plane so far.

35 mins: Watkins is fouled near halfway as he skipped through a challenge, and England have it in midfield. Alexandrer-Arnold tries the long diagonal to Trippier, but the full-back just fails to control it.

26 mins: Nothing comes from the corner, but England win possession back quickly. All but one member of the Bosnia side is behind the ball.
England work an opportunity and again it’s Eze at the centre of things, as he beats two challenges before driving towards the box. He plays it to Palmer, who tries to slip it through, but it’s out for a corner.
