England’s opening game against Serbia had a peak audience of 15m, while their second match with Denmark peaked at 13.1m. The lacklustre draw with Slovenia drew a peak television audience of 15.4million viewers.

Wednesday’s semi-final with Holland in Dortmund will be shown on ITV.

The other semi-final between Spain and France on Tuesday will be shown on the BBC.
