Poland vs Austria - Euro 2024: Live score, team news and updates as the 74,000 capacity stadium plays host to crunch

Hello and welcome to Mail Sport's live coverage of the second of today's afternoon kick-offs - and the first of our Group D ties - as Poland gear up to take on Austria at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Every group stage match is a crucial one if you're trying to plot a course through a cohort dubbed the 'Group of Death'. But both Poland and Austria failed to secure even a solitary point in their opening clashes, making this match a tooth-and-claw scrap if either side have a hope of sneaking through to the knockout stages as a best third-placed team.

One major boost for Poland could be the return of a player Austria - or any side - would give their eye-teeth for: Robert Lewandowski. The Barcelona striker missed the first match through injury, but is hoping to start off his tournament in the German capital in just a few short hours.

You know the drill by now: kick-off is at 5pm, and in the meantime, we'll be bringing you all the team news, build-up, and more, ahead of the whistle.
