Multi-Platform coverage for Russia vs England
Sky Sports will broadcast multi-platform coverage of England's crucial Euro 2008 qualifier against Russia tomorrow.
For the first time, Sky's England fans will be able to watch their country live on three separate platforms:

Mobile: live coverage of the game on Sky Mobile TV, available to 3G subscribers on Vodafone, T-Mobile and Orange networks
