They're an organised bunch, the Swedes. That is excellent flag action Photograph: Jonathan Nackstrand/AFP/Getty Images

England manager Roy Hodgson is considered something a legend in Sweden for the way his shrewd and rigorous tactical philosophies helped to evolve the style of football in their national league in the 70s and 80s.

Andy Carroll is starting up front tonight for England. Presumably Roy Hodgson feels Carroll's height (6ft 3in) could agitate the Swedes Photograph: Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images

He's joined by Danny Welbeck Photograph: Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images

It's a pacey start to the match and Scott Parker is pivotal to England's attacking thrust. The midfielder launches a right-footed strike from 20 yards which the Sweden keeper pushes acrobatically away Photograph: Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images

In the 23rd minute, Steven Gerrard supplies a a right-wing cross into the box and Carroll rises high to meet it Photograph: Michael Dalder/Reuters

... he's 12 yards out but sends a dart of a header beyond the outstretched arms of Sweden's goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson and into the top corner. 1-0 to England Photograph: Michael Dalder/Reuters

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is posing a danger tonight but John Terry and Glen Johnson are keeping him guarded. Half-time: 0-1 Photograph: Anthony Devlin/PA

Within minutes of the re-start Sweden are level. Olof Mellberg gets his name on the scoresheet with a goal England will rue. Ibrahimovic volleyed the ball into the danger area, before Mellberg swept it goalwards ... Photograph: Scott Heavey/Getty Images

... and though Glen Johnson tried to hook it off the line, he only managed to guide it in off the post. 1-1 Photograph: Michael Dalder/Reuters

Worse follows when Mellberg scores a second goal for Sweden - a header - in the 57th minute. England are rocking ... Photograph: Damien Meyer/AFP/Getty Images

... until Theo Walcott joins the action and leathers the ball in from the edge of the box. 2-2 Photograph: Darren Staples/Reuters

He looks a little embarrassed. That was only his second touch of the ball Photograph: Anthony Devlin/PA

Then he sends a low cross in for Danny Welbeck who cutely diverts the ball into the net to give England the lead with 12 minutes to go! Photograph: Alex Livesey/Getty Images

After four minutes of injury time, the referee blows his whistle. England have put their fans through the mill but what a fabulous comeback they've produced ... England now need at least a draw with Ukraine in their next match to reach the quarter-finals, while Sweden are out Photograph: Alex Livesey/Getty Images
