KICK-OFF: Turkey get Group D underway! Half of Paris was under water last week, and it may soon be again if this rain is anything to go by. It's hardly international tournament conditions, but it could prove to be good fun.

2 mins: The Turkish fans inside the Parc des Princes are making quite a noise, a typically intimidating one at that, but it's the Croatia players who are making the running in the opening seconds. After Ivan Rakitic had nearly steered a sliding half-volley inside the far post, Luka Modric is absolutely poleaxed by Ozan Tufan in midfield. It's a fast and feisty beginning.Luke Modric may want to familiarise himself with the Parc des Princes turf.

7 mins: There's been a lot of high praise thrown at this Croatia team in the build-up to these Championships, and even in these first few minutes it's easy to see why. Ante Cacic's midfield are keeping close control of the ball, and looking to open up the Turkish defence at every opportunity. So far the only answer from Fatih Terim's men is to kick their opponents on the ankles when they are able to get near them. It's a model known in England as the Tony Pulis Effect.

76 mins: Croatia have come with an interesting gameplan for running down the clock, and it involves Vedran Corluka needing to redress his protective headwear to stop the bleeding every five minutes. The defender is on his fourth set of bandages since taking an elbow in the first half.From the same first aid kit as those chef plasters.

81 mins: A first glimpse of Emre Mor's skill sees the teenager flick an impudent backheel into the path of Volkan Sen, and all Ivan Strinic can do to stop the substitute bursting forward is to chop him down five yards outside the box. It brings Strinic a yellow card and a chance for Turkey, but after much chatter over the ball, Caner Erkin curls a tame shot into the hands of Danijel Subasic's hands.

At the other end, Perisic misses a big chance to seal the game, but that's nothing new.

86 mins: Perisic won't be wasting any more opportunities in this one. The Inter Milan midfielder departs in what is a first change from Ante Cacic, and Andrej Kramaric is the forward on in his place.

22 mins: It will be worth keeping an eye on the individual battle between Jonny Evans and Robert Lewandowski. The West Brom centre-back signalled to referee Ovidiu Hategan in the opening moments that the striker had flung an arm in his direction, and just now the Polish forward hit the deck after an off-the-ball incident with the defender that was missed by all.

[12 June 2016 17:28 · Sam Dymond]

26 mins: After Lewandowski enjoys another spell on the turf following a challenge with Evans, Northern Ireland venture forward for the first time. Although Davis and then Chris Baird are forced back to the aforementioned West Brom man, the ball is eventually worked into the box via Evans' searching lofted cross. Wojciech Szczesny is out to claim the ball, but takes a hefty thwack from Lafferty in the process. He might want to stay on his line in future.Kyle Lafferty makes his mark - on Wojciech Szczesny.

29 mins: A long range effort - Poland's first on-target of the match - by Arkadiusz Milik is spilt by Michael McGovern in the Northern Ireland goal, but the Hamilton stopper recovers to mop up the danger. There's a joke there somewhere.
