Gary Lineker presents live coverage of the Euro 2016 group match between Portugal and Austria at the Parc des Princes in Paris.Portugal are consistent performers at the European Championship, reaching at least the quarter-finals in each of the last five tournaments.

While Cristiano Ronaldo remains Portugal's key attacking weapon, a new wave of young talent - including Renato Sanches and Joao Mario - will also be looking to make their mark on the international stage.However, Austria will be tough opponents: they qualified unbeaten, winning nine of their 10 games, and boast midfield talents including Bayern Munich's David Alaba and Stoke's Marko Arnautovic.Studio analysis comes from Alan Shearer and Rio Ferdinand, with commentary from Guy Mowbray and Martin Keown.
