Gareth Southgate’s side is showing more energy – with Phil Foden netting an equaliser only to be denied by the linesman.
Southgate has now brought on Cole Palmer in a bid to turn the game around.
Slovakia went ahead in the 27th minute after Ivan Schranz netted the ball at close range.
At home, thousands of people in England shirts have headed to pubs and fanzones for the knock-out match.
But it has been nervy – with snaps showing fans with their heads in their hands in the stadium.
Others have been drowning their sorrows with beer or wiping away tears at pubs and fanzones across England.
Earlier today fans had friendly chats with Slovakia fans or channelled their inner Judge Bellingham in kick-abouts.
People have also flooded Boxpark Wembley – where pints could be sent flying if England score.
And fans have also been enjoying the sunshine on Wembley Way and in cities and towns across the country.
Tennis ace Emma Raducanu was spotted heading for her Wimbledon warm-up in an England shirt.
Sun-loving Brits have packed out beaches and bars in Magaluf to watch the game.
Three Lions fans are hoping for victory after a drab start to the tournament – with only one win in three games.
A potential quarter-final against an exciting Switzerland side awaits if England stage a comeback – and glory will be one step closer.
Gareth Southgate’s side came top of Group C after a 1-0 win against Serbia and draws with Slovenia and Denmark.
Southgate made one change to the side that drew 0-0 with Slovenia last time out, as Kobbie Mainoo replaces Conor Gallagher in midfield.
Despite having the lion’s share of possession, England have looked quite blunt in attack.
They have fallen behind to a calm finish from Schranz and based on what we saw before the interval, you would not bet against Slovakia getting the next goal.
Gareth Southgate needs to earn his hefty salary during half-time, that is for sure.
