James Milner says England will be right up to the task when they meet Wales at Euro2016 this week.

The Three Lions and Dragons clash in Lens in their second Group B fixture on Thursday and Liverpool midfielder Milner is expecting it to be a high intensity encounter between two sides desperate for British bragging rights.

"Obviously it's going to be tough," Milner told FA TV.

"It's a very different game to the first one. We all know each other very well, both sets of players, so it'll be an interesting game.

"It's perhaps more the type of game that we're used to playing week-in, week-out but with a tournament atmosphere and it's going to be a special occasion."

Regarding Saturday's 1-1 draw with Russia, Milner added: "(We) played pretty well in the first game of the tournament, but we don't get the points.

"That's the disappointing thing, but there's plenty of positives and we have to bounce back very quickly, get over it and look forward to the next game."
