Adrian Chiles presents highlights and reaction from Group D, where Greece are in action against Spain and outsiders Russia face Sweden.

Greece and Spain have both enjoyed success in this tournament and were many people's tips to progress from Group D. Much of the victorious Greek side from four years ago are still involved with their current squad, none of Spain's squad were born the last time a Spanish team was crowned European champions, in 1964. Spain have only ever lost once in nine previous meetings with Greece, that defeat coming in a qualifying match in the build-up to Euro 2004.

Sweden reached the quarter-finals of the European Championships four years ago, winning their group ahead of Denmark and Italy. A repeat performance may depend on victory over the sought-after Guus Hiddink's Russia side. The Swedes have lost on seven separate occasions to the Soviet Union but have never been beaten by a team comprised entirely of Russians - this statistic stretching all the way back to 1913.
