01:04: Substitution - Sterling is replaced by Barkley
01:01: Alvaro Perreira is caught by the knee of Sterling, he was not moving briefly, he's up now
00:59: Henderson has a chance to cross into the box, he finds Muslera

Muslera is ok now, the teams had two glorious chances each. Intriguing contest after the break

00:52: Lodeiro sets up Cavani, he shoots it wide across the goal
00:49: Suarez swings in the corner, in swinging, it's going in, Hart makes a good save

Uruguay's defense is pretty solid while England is a bit loose, England had more possession and shots on target but still trailing
Halftime - Suarez's strike is all the difference between the teams, England had their chances
England are getting corners, they are wasting them. Four corners in two minutes

00:41: Sturridge is on target, Muslera saves this time. Well assisted by Rooney
00:39: Goal - Suarez makes a run into the box, Cavani crosses and Suarez heads it into the far corner. The talisman is back
00:31: Rooney's header hits the bar, so close but so far from the English striker, Gerrard's freekick was spot on, Muslera completely beaten
00:27: Cavani gets the ball near the box, shoots it just over
00:22: Suarez play a one-two with Lodeiro, but England defense deals with it

Suarez looks comfortable so far, making runs all over the pitch, so is Rooney behind Sturridge

00:17: Good attack from England, Sturridge shoots it, deflected of Perrera to a corner
00:15: Poor clearance from Jagielka, Rodriguez shoots it powerfully, just over the bar
00:10: Wayne Rooney's freekick is tantalizingly close, inches wide of the left post. Goalkeeper was completely beaten

00:04: Suarez's corner towards the goal, fumbled away by Hart
00:02: Muslera almost makes a mess, grabs the ball in second attempt, Sturridge is just beside him

It's Kickoff in the Group of Death, Rooney back to middle

Luis Suarez is playing today while Oxlade-Chamberlain is not. It's a big game for both the teams

That Uruguay's defeat to Costa Rica made this group more interesting, while Italy looks solid in the group anything can still happen
