Live coverage from St James' Park as England warm-up for their 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign with a friendly against Ukraine (kick-off 7.45).
It's England's first match since their Euro 2004 quarter-final defeat at the hands of Portugal just seven weeks ago, and is certain to represent a stiff challenge against a side that boasts prolific striker Andriy Shevchenko of AC Milan among its players. England's last game at St James' Park was a 2-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Albania in 2001. A repeat tonight would set them up for their forthcoming qualifiers in Austria and Poland. Gary Lineker is joined by Alan Hansen and Alan Shearer. Commentary comes from John Motson and Mark Lawrenson.
