New Zealand 1-0 Egypt
What a half for New Zealand.
Finn Surman's thumping header from Tim Payne's corner has the world's 85th ranked team, the lowest in the World Cup, on the verge of their first win at the eighth attempt and with one foot in the knockout stages.
Egypt have to come up with something different, otherwise they will be nine games without ever recording a World Cup win - no side has gone more.
New Zealand 1-0 Egypt
Big chance goes begging.
Mostafa Zico whips in an inviting cross from the right of the box which sneaks past the diving Finn Surman who does just enough to put off Emem Ashour who slashes a volley on the stretch well wide of the far post.
New Zealand 1-0 Egypt
Four added minutes at the end of a fun first half.
Shame it wasn't more to be honest...
New Zealand 1-0 Egypt
Another training ground routine but this time it's telegraphed by the All Whites and it's a waste from Egypt.
New Zealand 1-0 Egypt
Egypt have the chance to swing a ball into the New Zealand box but Omar Marmoush doesn't get quite enough on it and it's meat and drink for the big Kiwi defenders.
They'll have another chance, though, as Joe Bell concedes another free-kick on the left.

And here we go again. Egypt underestimating their opponents like they did in 2018.
Tee, Cairo
New Zealand gave England a very good game in a friendly before the World Cup started. Egypt have work to do to pull this back.

Hamdy Fathi is indeed coming off, with Ramy Rabia coming on to replace him at the back.
Not ideal for Hossam Hassan as Egypt find themselves a goal behind and forced into a first-half reshuffle.
New Zealand 1-0 Egypt
Brief pause in play for some treatment for Egypt's Hamdy Fathi, who is not looking too clever here.
His face suggests his day is over.
New Zealand 1-0 Egypt
A delayed offside flag puts an end to a promising break by NZ, with Chris Wood holding the ball up manfully in the box and laying off to Sarpreet Singh when play was halted.
Wood has been putting himself about, and then some.
He goes up with keeper Mostafa Shobier under a high ball into the box but the keeper does just enough to gather at the second attempt.

Clearly one from the training ground, Salah tried to find a corner. A warning shot. A safe one for the goalkeeper who saw it going wide.

One off the training ground.
It's touched back by Omar Marmoush into the path of Mohamed Salah who curls around the wall but also past the left upright.

This is a bit opportunity for Egypt, they have struggled to break down New Zealand, they have to take this opportunity.
New Zealand 1-0 Egypt
Horror show from Callum McCowatt who misjudges a bouncing ball and then scythes down Emam Ashour on the edge of the box.
20 yards out, just left of centre, Salah or Marmoush, place your bets...
New Zealand 1-0 Egypt
Just signs that Egypt are warming up a touch, Omar Marmoush almost wriggles his way through into the box to make some room for a shot before Finn Surman wallops the ball off his toes.
The drinks break has certainly seen Egypt looking more positive and the game slightly less chaotic.

As a kiwi supporter, I'm so used to us clinging on to games and hoping to see out a draw (if we're lucky!). I've never seen a NZ side so attack-minded.

Emam Ashour rolls over and over after a challenge from NZ right-back Tim Payne near the left touchline, but it's not a foul, never, in a million years, it's just a throw, and Ashour eventually has to get up a little sheepishly and on we go.
Good refereeing.
New Zealand 1-0 Egypt
Lightning break from Egypt ends with the ball being laid back to Omar Marmoush on the edge of the box to open up his body and curl a powerful effort towards the far post but keeper Max Crocombe is equal to it, diving to his left, and then flops on the loose ball at the second attempt.
New Zealand 1-0 Egypt
Nothing against Bon Jovi, or indeed Livin on a Prayer but the fact they play it during these break is just making it very obvious it seems a chore to sit through 45 minutes in one sitting.
Anyway, rant over, we're back under way.

I don't think it's really needed but it's just to make every game fair. I think it's more of an ad break.

I want to go to bed but I genuinely cannot take my eyes off of this game. We have been blessed with 2 brilliant games so far today! (And 2 boring ones!!)
Jacob, Cardiff
They've all had four goals or no goals in the past 24 hours, Jacob, and we're off and running here, so fingers crossed we're in for some more.
