Austria 0-0 France
23. Austria get a rare chance to attack and win themselves a corner.
The ball in from the left is caught by a flying Maignan who showed excellent hands to gather in a crowded area.

19. A rapid break from France and they should've made better use of it!
Rabiot nicks it in midfield and drives 30 yards before finding Griezmann on the right. He drives towards the centre of the area and opts to shoot instead of sliding Dembele in down the right.
Poor again from Griezmann who apologises to Dembele after the ball deflects behind for a corner.
17. Overhit. Keeper collects under little pressure.
16. First yellow card of the night is dished out....but it's to Wober.
He wipes out Dembele who nutmegged him and was haring towards the edge of the area. It's wide on the right so Griezmann again will look to pick someone out.
13. Posch will be booked this evening.
Grillitsch attempts a delicate, chipped ball into the France box which Kounde reads superbly to head away.
12. Tell you something, Posch is lucky he's not picked up a yellow card yet.
Another flying tackle to wipe Thuram out this time.
France take the free kick quickly and Hernandez's pace gets him to the by-line and he smashes it across goal.
A terrific ball but nobody is there to tap it home.
10. Another set-piece wasted by France as Pentz comes out to collect.
CLOSE!
9. Nearly the opener for Kylian Mbappe!
France break superbly well down the left and Posch gambles on a ball in midfield and doesn't make it, allowing Mbappe to break free down the left.
He cuts in inside the box and looks to give the keeper the eyes and reverse it into the near post. The keeper reads it though and tips it round his near post for a France corner.
One or two in blue and white not happy the skipper went alone there...
6. Another floated cross from Griezmann which is easily defended again.
5. Another dangerous looking free kick for France.
The same distance out but not as wide this time for Griezmann after Hernandez was wiped out.
3. It's aimed towards Saliba but it's flicked away before he can get anything on it. Good defending.
1. Mike Maignan gets an early touch of the ball when Mwene's hopeful cross is collected by the French keeper.
We're underway in Dusseldorf!
Can France follow the other big nations in kicking off with a win!?
A sensational noise around this arena as the flags from the French end are waved ferociously.
The Austrians - kitted out in red - looking incredible behind the other goal.
Time for the anthems.
Both sets of players are in the tunnel ahead of this one.
Kylian Mbappe looks relaxed at the front of the French queue, laughing as a host of ball boys and girls surround him for signatures!
The news of Slovakia upsetting Belgium will have sharpened the focus of the France squad here in Dusseldorf.
Les Bleus are of course expected to walk Group D but Ralf Rangnick's Austria pose a stern test in the opener.
The former Manchester United boss outlined their intentions to press France and suffocate Kylian Mbappe.
France's build-up has been dominated by politics, with players speaking out against the rise of the far-right back home.
Didier Deschamps, the manager, has no issue with them doing just that but will be delighted if a positive performance can get the focus back on the football.
It is a big night for William Saliba, given a shot starting at the back and needing to prove a point.
It will also be fascinating to see how N'Golo Kante, whose last tournament appearance for France was their round of 16 defeat to Switzerland three years ago, gets on now he has been brought back in.
Captain Marcel Sabitzer is making his eighth appearance in a European Championship finals.
That's the most of any Austrian player in their history.
He's still the frontrunner in the race for the top scorer in this competition.
William Hill make him the 9/2 favourite, ahead of Harry Kane - who only managed a couple of touches last night - who is 6/1.
Cristiano Ronaldo is 11/1 having also not played yet, with Kai Havertz a 14/1 punt.
Much is expected of Kylian Mbappe in this tournament.
His sensational World Cup - picking up the Golden Boot - emphasised further what he can do on the biggest of stages.
But did you know he's NEVER scored in the finals of a European Championships?
All 12 of his major tournament goals have come in the World Cup....
