It will be broadcast live in ITV One, with coverage starting at 7pm. We will also be bringing you live coverage of the match through our Telegraph live blog which will start bringing you all the build up and team news from around 7pm.
Slaven Bilic, whose punditry has proved a surprise hit with viewers, will no longer take his place on the ITV panel and will return to West Ham to begin pre-season.
The classic England tournament formula is: struggle through group stage without ever really being under pressure, wallop a smaller nation in the first knockout round, heart-breaking exit at the hands of first serious team they play.
No reason to suppose this year will be any different: Iceland will be willing but limited and England are strongly fancied to get through without too much difficulty.
The broader question for Roy is deciding whether to persist with strugglers like Sterling and Kane, or go to the Sturridge-Vardy winning formula upon which he stumbled v Wales.
What do we know about Iceland?
The European minnows have made the knockout stages of Euro 2016 in their first ever major tournament, but they still remain a somewhat of a surprise package.
We asked Ben Rumsby to provide a scouting report on everyone's new second favourite team.
How did they set up?
A country obsessed with English football, it is almost inevitable Iceland would be connoisseurs of 4-4-2 and a direct style of play. The fact both have gone out of fashion in recent years is probably part of what has made them so awkward to play against at Euro 2016.
The easy answer would be Gylfi Sigurdsson, the Iceland player with which England supporters will be most familiar.
He has been deadly from free-kicks for Swansea City, for whom he has scored an impressive 18 Premier League goals in the last two seasons. He plays at the heart of the Iceland midfield and is a clear class above his team-mates.
Daniel Sturridge's last minute winner against Wales all but guaranteed England a place in the last 16.
But a lacklustre draw with Slovakia, combined with Wales' 3-0 demolition of Russia, meant that Roy Hodgson's side had to settle for a second placed finish in Group B.
Iceland marked their first ever appearance at a major tournament by securing safe passage to the knockout stages of Euro 2016 with a dramatic 2-1 win over Austria.
Who will Roy Hodgson pick to start?
Roy Hodgson was castigated for his decision to make six changes from the team that came back to beat Wales in Lens.
England's 0-0 draw with Slovakia now means they find themselves on the toughest side of the draw and Hodgson has been forced to defend his tactics.
Jason Burt explains who he thinks England should start for the Iceland clash.
What's England's route to the final?
West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya has asked businesses to help draft a comprehensive policy on land acquisition for industrial and infrastructure projects and on rehabilitating those displaced.
The request comes nearly nine months after Singur, where Tata Motors Ltd is setting up its small car project, and Nandigram, where the state government wanted to set up a chemical processing zone turned into battlegrounds over the forced acquisition of farmland.
Bhattacharya was speaking at a meeting organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), an industry lobby.
The state government has been struggling to put together a policy that resolves issues related to the acquisition of land. Last week, the chief minister, addressing another industry body, observed that experience has shown that there cannot be one single model for land acquisition. In West Bengal, JSW Steel Ltd, which is setting up a 10 million tonne (mt) steel plant at Salboni, in West Midnapore district, has offered shares and jobs in the firm to displaced families. Here, it was possible as the number of families displaced was below 1,000. At Singur, where there are about 12,000 families such a compensation is unimaginable, the chief minister said.
Bhattacharya asked the CII national council to “form a committee to go into the land acquisition and rehabilitation issue and help us formulate a policy."
Pawan Munjal, managing director of Hero Honda Motors Ltd and former president of the confederation said a small committee had already been set up and was examining the issues. Sunil Mittal, chairman and group managing director of Bharti Enterprises Ltd and the current president of the confederation later told media persons that the committee would work on a national policy after speaking to all the stakeholders involved.
Responding to a query from Malvinder Mohan Singh, managing director of Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd, Bhattacharya invited greater participation by private companies in the state’s public health sector. “The public health system caters to 72% of the state’s population," he said, adding, “we want private companies to join us, independently or in the public-private partnership." The entry of private players such as Apollo Hospitals Group, Sankara Netralaya Eye Hospital and Tata Cancer Research Centre has opened up the sector, he said.
Reiterating his opposition to foreign direct investment in the retail sector and his support to Indian companies in organized retail, Bhattacharya cautioned there needed to be restrictions.
“I have told Reliance (Retail Ltd, which has stalled the roll out of its Reliance Fresh stores in West Bengal) that they should not touch food grains and keep their large stores outside the city," he said, admitting at the same time, that modern retail mechanisms are needed to reduce wastage. Citing numbers, he said although the state produces 11.6mt of vegetables annually, it loses 30% of its output due to lack of storage and other logistics.
In the free-wheeling interaction with industry, Bhattacharya admitted that the adoption and use of nuclear power cannot be avoided in the face of global warming.
In West Bengal, where 96% of the power generated is thermal, attention has now turned on non-conventional sources of energy. Haripur in East Midnapore district, 200km from Kolkata has been selected as a prospective site to set up a nuclear power plant, involving an investment of approximately Rs10,000 crore.
“There are doubts about its environmental impact, the cost of the power it will produce and other technical issues," the chief minister said. “We will wait for the scientists to debate the issue," he said.

After a journey of 97 years, Virginia M. Jarvis has been called home to be with her Lord.
In April of 1916, she was born in Zanesville, Ohio, to Benjamin and Mayme (Spring) White. Later in the 1920s, she and her family moved to Detroit.
In 1934, she married Walter "Turk" Jarvis. They moved to Charlevoix in 1943 and have made Charlevoix their home ever since.
Virginia spent many years working as an aide at Charlevoix Area Hospital. She also worked at Charlevoix schools as a cook but finally returned to the job and people she loved at the hospital. After retiring, she continued to be active with her church, her friends and family, and found part-time work "just to keep busy."
Virginia loved to knit. She made sure her family and friends always had a ready supply of everything from booties to afghans. A knitting bag was always found by her side. "Wait until I finish my row," was a most common phrase from her.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Walter; her son-in-law, Thomas McInnis; and her niece, Karen Christie.
She is survived by her sister, Evangeline "Betty" Inman, of Charlevoix; daughter, Barbara McInnis, of Westminster, Calif.; son, Jeffrey (Janice) Jarvis, of Petoskey; niece, Beth (Mitch) Simmons, of Scottsdale, Ariz.; grandchildren, Michele (Sean) Butler, Heather (Chad) Ambler and Jeff McInnis, all of California, Janna (Justin) Baker of Bala Cynwyd, Pa., Jessica (Nick) Strong of Fayetteville, N.C., and Jacqueline Jarvis of Petoskey. Virginia left behind 10 great-grandchildren.
There is no doubt she'll be missed from this earth, but the fellowship will just be starting with "Ginny" back in her circle of friends. We're sure she's having coffee and laughs with Mike and Rachael, Rev. and Mrs. Majors, Joanie and Jock, Clem, Ike and Lucille, Tom and Hazel, Dorcus and so many others she shared this life with.
A memorial service will take place at 10 a.m. Wednesday, July 17, at Winchester Funeral Home in Charlevoix. After a brief graveside service, a celebration of her life and family get-together will be at Ferry Beach in Charlevoix.
1.We Burn Couches Better Than You. We Burn Couches....YES we do! Maryland has a history of causing town riots up and down Route 1 in College Park after meaningful victories (and losses). The most famous was in 2002, with 18 arrests, $10,000 worth of damage and eight trips to the hospital after the National Championship.
2. I'm Mike Jones! Because of his shared name with Rapper Mike Jones, Terrapins senior guard Mike Jones gets a giant "Who?!" yelled when his name is announced after a made basket. Jones also set the Maryland record for 3-pointers made in a game early this season with nine.
The Decemberists’ last album topped the US charts, so have a listen to the follow up from these literary folkies and let us know your thoughts!
The Decemberists’ last album, The King Is Dead, is one of the least likely albums ever to enter the US charts at No 1 – wordy folk pop from a group who look like supply teachers? What was going on? It certainly makes their follow-up, What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World, an intriguing proposition. Will it once again feature pop songs? Or will it be a return to the lengthy, conceptual pieces of previous records?
The result is a lush, gorgeous and at times deeply personal album. Have a a listen and let us know what you think.
As Costco's Jim Sinegal once put it, "Culture is not the most important thing -- it's the only thing" -- likely because he understands the advantages of creating a work environment with high employee satisfaction. I recently had the opportunity to engage over email with Renee Conklin, Proto Labs' vice president of human resources, about the company's culture, employee morale, how it cultivates talent, and more. Below is a transcript of our conversation, lightly edited for style.
Steve Heller: With only a handful of reviewsof Proto Labs on anonymous employee review site Glassdoor, it's obviously not a representative sample size of employee morale or satisfaction.How does Proto Labs internally measure employee satisfaction?Can you provide supporting data around employee retention rates, turnover, and average tenure?How does this data compare to the industry?
Renee Conklin: Proto Labs has been voted a Top 100 Minnesota Workplace by the Minneapolis Star Tribune for the past four years (2011 through 2014). The independent survey consisted of 22 questions focused on the work environment and was completed by our employees. We've also been recognized as one of Forbes' Best Small Companies for the past two years (2013 and 2014). Forbes ranked companies on their earnings and sales growth as well as return on equity in the past 12 months and over five years.
We currently employ 700 employees in Minnesota and 73% of these employees have been hired within the past three years. Our voluntary turnover in 2014 was about 6%, and we're growing [headcount] at a rate of 25% each year.
Heller: If employees are unsatisfied, how does Proto Labs work to improve employee morale?
Conklin: Proto Labs holds monthly shift meetings where all employees participate. During the meetings, managers share important information and ask each employee, by name, for process improvement suggestions and any concerns they want to voice. It's the central idea that more minds are better than one. We respect one another's opinions, and share our successes and failures as a team to learn from them. Constant collaboration with colleagues breeds creativity and helps us refine a great idea into something tangible.
Our core values are teamwork, trust, and achievement and we make a concerted effort to hold employees accountable to these values. As a result, there's an employee appreciation for a company that places trust in its employees to do the job for which they were hired.
Heller: What is Proto Labs doing to cultivate talent?What programs does Proto Labs have in place today, or plans to put in place in the future to build its next generation of leaders?
Conklin: Internally, we have a generous tuition reimbursement program in place for employees who want to pursue advanced education. We are also working on developing Proto Labs University -- a program designed to help new supervisors and managers learn the basic concepts of effective management and to develop skills. Proto Labs University will be a comfortable, hands-on learning environment where our experienced leaders will share best practices and give new leaders the opportunity to practice what they learn and receive immediate feedback. We are continually building and modifying training content for our sales and customer support teams to further their knowledge of our shifting services. It allows them to really bring a consultative sales role so customers ultimately use the best manufacturing process possible -- whether 3D printing, machining or molding -- for the production of their parts.
Externally, we provide a number of free injection molding design aids and an 80-page injection molding book that we published to educators and entire classrooms at the high school and collegiate level. It helps educate future product designers and engineers, who may one day work at Proto Labs, about the sometimes complicated field of injection molding. We also partner with schools on projects and team competitions as well as sponsor internships in many of the departments throughout the organization.
Lastly, we run a Cool Idea! Award program that grants thousands of dollars in manufacturing services annually to entrepreneurs with innovative product concepts.
Heller: What qualities does Proto Labs look for when promoting talent from within and hiring outside the company?
Conklin: We focus our recruiting efforts on those who have the ability and desire to learn quickly and work efficiently in a team-oriented environment. They must be adaptable to change and comfortable working in an extremely fast-paced, growing environment. We look for people who are passionate, results-oriented individuals who take accountability for their work.
Proto Labs works to bring in not onlytalented individuals, but also ones who are going to help create a culture where people want to remain. Of our current 50-plus job openings, many fall within STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields. Software engineering and manufacturing process engineers are roles that we are continually recruiting for. Pair that with machine and press operators, and you have a manufacturing company that runs the gamut of available careers and opportunity for career growth.
Heller: From a culture perspective, what's the biggest characteristic that differentiates Proto Labs from its peers?
Conklin: Total trust in our employees. At all levels of the organization, employees are empowered to be creative, do what it takes to complete the task at hand, and provide additional assistance where needed. Everyone understands that manufacturing speed is important to our customers and is, therefore, important to our success. Every employee contributes; every employee is critical in maintaining a system that runs smoothly.

The wedding of former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's youngest daughter in Hong Kong has drawn much attention two days before a general election in Thailand.
Lots of coiffured hair, lace and glitter could be seen at the Rosewood Hotel at Victoria Dockside, overlooking Kowloon's waterfront, on Friday (March 22).
Among the guests were Thailand's Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya, who was recently put forward as a candidate for premier by the Thai Raksa Chart party, which is allied with the powerful Shinawatra clan. The move was struck down last month by King Maha Vajiralongkorn.
At about 5.15pm, Mr Thaksin's sister, Yingluck, who like her brother is a former premier ousted in a coup, was spotted in a peach-coloured dress; she greeted the media camped outside the hotel.
Mr Thaksin himself said he was "very happy" when he arrived some time after 4pm. He has three children - two daughters and one son.
Security at the ultra-luxurious hotel - which opened its doors just last week - was exceptionally tight ahead of the wedding of Paetongtarn "Ing" Shinawatra and professional pilot Pidok Sooksawas, the South China Morning Post reported.
Sunday's election in Thailand is the first in the kingdom since a coup in 2014.
The vote is also the first under new rules which will mean that winning the popular vote does not automatically translate into leading a government or choosing the next prime minister.
