the 11th June I think cos I wrote the first England match in my new diary and that is 12th June, the second day of the competition. the final is Saturday 11th uly according to the chart my grandson has put up on his bedroom wall already!

JJ the final is 11th July.

after that first match England play friday 18th and then wednesday 23rd, the first 2 are evening matches the last one an afternoon match.
