Still hope for DR Congo...

Tunisia are sailing through at the moment as DR Congo struggle to create anything of note. Ahmed Akaichi flashes a shot wide as the Tunisians find this all too easy. A DR Congo goal though would put them through.

Rainford Kalaba whips a cross in which flashes across the Cape Verde goal. Remember Zambia need to score despite these tough conditions.

Djaniny comes on for Cape. I hope you have your cagoule ready son.

This is a bit farcical. Defenders are wellying the ball and it is travelling all of 10 feet at best. Lobbed balls are dropping and sticking to the deck. A game of long balls and dead balls. Any player who can summon a moment of genius in these conditions should automatically be given player of the tournament in my book.

The rain in Ebibeyin is absolutely hammering down and you can't help but wonder what happens to this match in Bata if that group match gets abandoned. Both matches are meant to finish at the same time....

In terms of action, I can bring you little from this. Squelch, splash, slip, that is about it.

Zambia come forward but left back Chisamba Lungu cannot get the ball out of his feet. It's sticking under him. A set play is the only way a goal could arrive in this and a Cape delivery is palmed away by Kennedy Mweene.

If you haven't managed to nab a holiday there (as my fellow live text commentator has), Cape Verde may sound like some fictional haven to many.

Where exactly is it?

That is the west coast of Africa and some 350 miles further west, in the Atlantic Ocean, sit a smattering of Islands discovered in the 15th century.

It's a largely catholic country (78%) and at this time of year, expect temperatures of around 75 degrees. Just over 500,000 people live there but more Cape Verdeans live overseas than on the islands themselves.

Windsurfing is big time there. Right on.

You could wind surf on this pitch right now.

BBC Sport's Matt Kenyon: The ball is splashing and the pitch is getting waterlogged. I can't see how this can continue...

I don't think this is rain. This is whatever the natural progression beyond rain is.

This game could well end up being washed out. There are puddles developing on the field, a pass from right to left sticks on one prompting a big 50-50 tackle.

The running track around the pitch is lake-like and the rain is bouncing off it.

What would folk be doing in Cape Verde now?

Perhaps playing a game of Ouri - a pit and capture game - loved by locals.

Almost a disastrous start for DR Congo as danger man Yassine Chikhaoui sires a low shot into the net only to see the flag raised for offside once more.

BBC Sport Matt Kenyon: Three years ago I watched all of Zambia's matches as they sailed to an inaugural triumph in the Nations Cup in Libreville. Things have changed a lot since then. There are still a decent core of the players who win it for Chipolopolo in this team - Stoppila Sunzu, the central defender, is the man who scored the decisive penalty to deny Ivory Coast in Libreville - but they need to build again. And right now - they need to win, to have any chance of going through. And even that might not be enough.

Underway again in both matches, with Group B still in the balance. As it stands, Tunisia and Cape Verde are through.

Le Millenium:, external DR Congo are missing their captain. He is not the most skilled player but very organised. C'mon lads!

Since winning the Africa Cup of Nations in 2004 on home turf, the competition hasn't been that kind to Tunisia. They haven't qualified beyond the quart-finals since and even failed to make it beyond the group stages three times.

DR Congo haven't exactly got a recent record worth shouting about either. They have lifted the trophy twice, in 1968 and 1974, but have since failed to progress beyond the quarter-finals.

Two teams desperate to add to their trophy haul.

Take some going to do that this time as well...

But what do stats mean? I'll go for 6-6 in the second half.

BBC Sport's Nick Cavell in Bata: Tunisia have dominated the first-half and are good value for their lead - veteran keeper Kidiaba saving DR Congo on one occasion and the assistant ref with his flag on another. DR Congo struggled to find any rhythm at all until the final few minutes of the half - but with Mbokani, Ndombe, Bolasie, Mabwati and Makiadi they have enough quality to get back in this match.
