England versus Sweden delayed

England's Group D clash with Sweden at Euro 2012 has been delayed by 15 minutes.

The match in Kiev will now kick off at 8pm after Ukraine's fixture with France in Donetsk was subject to a lengthy break in play because of severe weather conditions.

The players were called off after just four minutes at the Donbass Arena as thunder and lightning was met with heavy rain.

However, play was eventually resumed as the weather subsided.
