Colombia 0-0 DR Congo
Colombia showing England how to play against a side that have come to defend - moving the ball quickly and plenty of positive runners in behind.
No goals to show for their efforts, though.

Colombia 0-0 DR Congo
There are no shortage of familiar faces in this DR Congo side; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Yoane Wissa, Arthur Masuaku, Chancel Mbemba and Axel Tuanzebe have all played in the Premier League.
But it's just proving an uphill battle for them at the moment.
Hydration break is done. Let's see if there's any improvement from them before half-time.

Welcome back, Thomas. How many games are you on now?
Great analysis, I might have to hand over the reins to you shortly if I start flagging with another early morning game!

Very lively start, Colombia have got a lot of good players and could have a good run here if it clicks into gear at the top end of the pitch. Add to that the incredible support they are receiving that could be a potent combination.

It's shots in at the moment. Playground stuff.
Gustavo Puerta has far too much space from around 30 yards and his swerving strike is parried away by Lionel Mpasi. The goalkeeper had a long way to watch that one.
'DR Congo goalkeeper being kept busy'published at 03:18 BST
Colombia 0-0 DR Congo
Gabriel Zakuani
Former Peterborough defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveDiaz has cut inside and is looking for that far corner. Goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi has probably been the busiest player for DR Congo. This is looking like Colombia's game v Portugal where they forced them to work hard.
CLOSE!published at 18 mins
Colombia 0-0 DR Congo
The big chances keep coming for Colombia.
This time it's Luis Diaz. The Bayern Munich winger shows great composure after picking up a chipped pass inside the box, twisting into a half yard of space before pulling the trigger.
Lionel Mpasi gets a shade of luck in making the save as the ball crashes off his heel and behind for a corner.

He won't be best pleased with the way his side have started.
