Elsewhere, England's hopes of a first major tournament triumph since 1966 have been given a big boost, with the Three Lions set to face Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia in Group C. In-form Portugal will also be pleased with their lot, after drawing Turkey, Czech Republic and the winner of Play-off Path B, which will be Georgia, Greece, Kazakhstan or Luxembourg.
