Forget it. The corner is swung in and Domagoj Vida is penalised for a push.

Ivan Rakitic is fouled as he looks to break away in the Portugal half. Are we going to see something interesting before half-time? Maybe. The ball is delivered and headed behind by Pepe for a corner...

How many times has Ronaldo touched the ball - four or five? He's not been in the game at all has he. He's their best player by some distance. He's up front - get the ball up to him.

Ronaldo has actually touched the ball 14 times, but none of his touches have been in the Croatia penalty area.

No-one on the pitch is coming out in much glory at the moment, but Cristiano Ronaldo has been very quiet. Just 14 touches of the ball so far, none of those coming inside the Croatia box.

For one glorious, beautiful moment then I thought we were going to have a shot at goal. But a poor cross from the right from Ivan Strinic makes it easy for Portugal to clear.

Desmond Oguda: Who wants to meet Poland in the last 8? Anyone? Portugal? Croatia? Will someone please stand up!

Sho Rahman: You'd never tell this is a knockout match. Absolutely terrible.

There are five minutes of the first half to go. If you are just joining us, you've missed nothing. Apart from Ivan Perisic's new hair.

Ivan Rakitic delivers and Domagoj Vida gets his head to the ball, but his effort glances wide of the far post.

Croatia free-kick, wide right. Chance to deliver something meaningful...

There are a few challenges flying in now, with Portugal players showing some neat skills to evade them. Finally, we have some raised voices from the stands. Come on lads, get stuck in. Give me something worth writing about.

Phil Bayley: Nani getting to 100 caps tells you everything you need to know about the state of Portuguese football for the past decade.

Unathi Plaatjie: They are playing for penalties? That's too early hey.

Oh, that is very nasty from Jose Fonte. Ivan Rakitic falls under a tackle and the Portuguese defender slams his foot down on the Croatian's lower leg. Clearly the referee didn't see it.

Domagoj Vida has to be alert to head away a cross from the right. he is helped out somewhat by Nani - the target of the cross - slipping over at a crucial moment.

There is a distinct lack of speed - both of thought and movement - from both sides. Portugal are happy to sit in and concede possession while Croatia are content to be patient.

Ivan Perisic, scorer of two goals in the finals already, has Croatia's first effort, cutting in from the right before firing a shot into the side-netting.  

Adrien Silva is down, holding his ankle and grimacing. Looks like he kicked the underside of Luka Modric's boot as he tried to control the ball. All he needs is a minute to shake it off, though.

I know we're only 20 minutes in, but would you say Portugal look happy for penalties? That's the way it seems.

Close! Ronaldo leaves it, which means a cross is coming. It is swung in and met by Pepe, who rises above Domagoj Vida, but heads over by a yard. First effort at goal. At last.

A shot, a shot, my run-down, one-bed tiny flat for a shot!

Hold on, this might produce something. Ronaldo is tripped and Portugal have a free-kick about 30 yards from goal, on the left side...
