Saint-Atienne (France): England captain Gary Cahill said his side had lacked "cutting edge" as they drew 0-0 with Slovakia and finished second in Group B to Wales.

"We tried and tried and they shut the door in our face," Cahill told ITV.

England coach Roy Hodgson made six changes to the line-up, but Cahill denied it had affected the result.

"I don't think so," he said. "We had the ball constantly, we just didn't quite have that cutting edge to open them up. In games like that you need something little bit special.
 
"We obviously tried to bring fresh legs in there, it's very difficult to play this intense and in this heat and I think we looked good. On another day we should win."
