22:35 CET - After all their nice passing and build-up play, it is a long ball from the goalkeeper over the top to the onrushing Kevin De Bruyne who slotted home from close range.
22:21 CET - Romelu Lukaku thought he had given Belgium a second goal and so did I! But VAR ruled that he was just offside. It was an inch-perfect pass from Kevin De Bruyne but Lukaku didn't quite time his run perfectly even if his finish was slotted away nicely.
22:05 CET - We are back underway! Will we see a response from Romania in this second period?
21:45 CET - Belgium continued to dominate and create chance after chance and therefore will be frustrated to only be 1-0 up at half time against a struggling Romania. As it is, Youri Tielemans' goal separates the sides at the break.
21:20 CET - A brilliant run from Kevin De Bruyne deserved a goal but Dodi Lukebakio couldn't finish the move off as his effort was comfortably saved.
But it has been a quick start from Belgium and a great response from their opening game defeat. They could have easily found themselves 3-0 up already.
21:05 CET - What a start from Belgium! A lovely passing move is finished off by Youri Tielemans whose effort from just outside the box found the bottom corner after a clever lay-off from Romelu Lukaku.
21:00 CET - We are underway in Group E! Huge 90 minutes ahead for Belgium.
20:10 CET - We are 50 minutes from kick-off in Group E as Belgium take on Romania. Belgium are in need of a big night and a crucial three points after an embarrassing 1-0 defeat against Slovakia in their opening game. Meanwhile, Romania can secure a stunning last-16-berth with a win.
The big team news is that there is no place in the starting 11 for Leandro Trossard and Youri Tielemans comes into the midfield. Check out the full lineups below:
19:53 CET - That’s full-time in Dortmund and Portugal have booked their spot in the next round with a comfortable 3-0 win over Turkey. The scoreline is a little harsh on the Turks and they are by no means out of the running yet - they will look to get back to winning ways on Wednesday.

19:13 CET - And that's three for Portugal as Cristiano Ronaldo lays it on a plate for Bruno Fernandes to score! You'd have expected Ronaldo to take that on in his younger years but he very unselfishly set up his teammate to make it 3-0. Ronaldo has now equalled the record for the most assists at the European Championship.
18:46 CET - That's half-time in Dortmund and Turkey have a lot to do with it being 2-0 to Portugal. They haven't been a million miles off but the nightmarish own goal has put them in trouble.
18:28 CET - And within minutes of the opener, it's 2-0 to Portugal after a quite incredible own goal from Samet Akaydin. It's the stuff of nightmares for the defender - he blindly played it back under little pressure only for the ball to be misplaced, roll past the keeper and into the net.
18:22 CET - Goal for Portugal! Bernardo Silva has opened the scoring with a lovely finish, slamming to ball home from inside the box. That was clinical from the diminutive attacker.
17:50 CET - All eyes are on Dortmund now with kick-off between Turkey and Portugal just minutes away! The winner will secure a round of 16 spot.
17:40 CET - It wasn't the Czech Republic's day today, their 1-1 draw wasn't the worst result but they had plenty of chances to beat Georgia. In fact, they had the most shots by a team that failed to win a match at the Euros since 1980, according to Opta.
17:15 CET - Next up in Germany, it's another cracker from Group F with round-one winners Portugal and Turkey going head-to-head in Dortmund. A win for either side would see them through to the next round.
