What a save from Andreas Isaksson! Glen Johnson crosses into the box and John Terry meets it but with the ball seemingly destined for the goal Isaksson somehow gets the ball up and over the bar.

GOALSweden 2-2 England (Theo Walcott)England level! And it is the substitute Theo Walcott! Sweden clear a corner but the ball falls to Walcott on the edge of the area and his shot swerves and beats Andreas Isaksson. From the sublime to the ridiculous for the keeper. This second half couldn't be more different to the first. Come on now Lucifer, that was not the deal. You're just toying with us. Anyone would think you had a touch of the mischievous about you.
Surely that is a free-kick to England?! Steven Gerrard is body checked on the edge of the box but referee Damir Skomina waves play on, much to England's chagrin.
You know what, this has only turned into an end-to-end encounter. Rasmus Elm lines a shot up from distance, but it is blocked by Joleon Lescott. Then, down the other end, Danny Welbeck runs clear and is tackled by Olof Mellberg to prevent him running into the box.
This game is there for the taking for either side now. England try to restore their one-goal advantage but Andy Carroll's shot from distance is just over the bar. Decent effort.
YELLOW CARDSweden - Jonas Olsson
Here is a chance for England. A free-kick from 25 yards that Steven Gerrard and Ashley Young are over. Gerrard walks away, Young curls it, but it is always going high and wide.
Great chance for Sweden. Martin Olsson cuts in down the left and crosses for Kim Kallstrom in the box. He opens himself for a first-time shot but puts it past the near post. Big let off for England. It has been an unbelievable change in this game since half-time. It is really open now.
It is Sweden again going close and Joe Hart comes to the rescue. Zlatan Ibrahimovic lines up a shot from 25 yads and his effort swerves and dips before Hart dives to his right to palm away.
