No room for Jamie Vardy in England's starting XI

Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney starts in central midfield for Roy Hodgson’s side.

WAYNE ROONEY STARTS in central midfield with Adam Lallana and Raheem Sterling flanking Harry Kane in attack for England’s Euro 2016 opener against Russia.

As expected, the Manchester United captain plays alongside Dele Alli and Eric Dier in a role behind Kane, who is partnered by Lallana and Sterling.

In defence, Kyle Walker is preferred to Nathaniel Clyne at right-back, while Leicester’s Jamie Vardy must be content with a place on the bench.

Wales currently top Group B after Gareth Bale and Hal Robson-Kanu secured a 2-1 victory over Slovakia.

ENGLAND: Hart; Walker, Cahill, Smalling, Rose; Alli, Dier, Rooney; Sterling, Kane, Lallana.

RUSSIA: Akinfeev; Smolnikov, V.Berezutsky, Ignashevich, Schennikov; Neustadter, Golovin; Kokorin, Shatov, Smolov; Dzyuba.
