talkSPORT's commentary teams today are:

Poland v Northern Ireland - Jim Proudfoot and Keith Gillespie
Germany v Ukraine - Gary Taphouse and Alvin Martin
Good to hear Alvin Martin involved in today's coverage. Matt Smith is presenting the first leg of a Sunday Exclusive Euro Special from London.

Off-topic - but are you sure about this? I listened to BBC Radio Wales' commentary on said rugby union international, where Ross Harries and Wayne Pivac were on-site and mentioned that Josh Turnbull (a Welsh international who wasn't involved in the matchday squad) was with them in the press box and was working for Radio Cymru. Was he just providing in-game comments/co-commentary with their primary commentary team being back in Cardiff? I'm guessing Ross was also covering the match for the BBC Wales TV news, with his co-commentator Scarlets coach Wayne Pivac being a Kiwi so was probably back home during the close season.
