So that's sight, touch and sound done - just missing taste and smell for the five senses. And seeing dead people for the sixth.

We've brought in virtual reality for this World Cup so who knows whether we'll have the taste/smell technology by Qatar 2022.

Senegal have beaten Poland 2-1 in the final game of the opening round of World Cup fixtures - thanks, in part, to a comedy error.

Alan Dzagoev is hoping Russia qualify for the knockout stages - so he might be able to play again in the World Cup.

The attacking midfielder pulled a hamstring in the opening game against Saudi Arabia and his 24th-minute replacement Denis Cheryshev went on to score twice.

"This is my left leg," he said. "All my previous injuries have been with the other one so I don't really understand how it happened. The preparation was professional. I still feel pain but it's going to be better.

"Unfortunately I have vast experience in this area. Of course it's a serious blow when the biggest tournament of your life goes on without you. I hope I still play at this World Cup. If we qualify for the knockout stages, doctors have given me a little ray of hope. I still hope I can make it."

Evening from St Petersburg where the torrential rain has now given way to some evening sunshine much to the relief of the Egyptian fans no doubt. Not quite Cairo.

It’s a fantastic stadium with its steep stands looming over the pitch and the good news for Egypt and the neutral is that Mo Salah starts tonight. His nation will come to a standstill when he steps onto the pitch. Over a million people voted for him in the recent presidential elections and he wasn’t even on the ballot paper.

But the Russian fans will pack this place out and you can feel the optimism and hope after that opening day win, another victory tonight and they’re practically into the knockout phase.

Commentary on 5 live from 19:00 BST.

Russia are without attacking midfielder Alan Dzagoev after he pulled his hamstring in the opening game, but ex-Chelsea left-back Yuri Zhirkov has been declared fit after recovering from a minor ankle injury.

Artem Dzyuba - who scored as a substitute against Saudi Arabia - replaces Fedor Smolov up front.

Denis Cheryshev, who scored twice in that game, takes the place of Dzagoev.

Egypt forward Mohamed Salah is fit to play for his first game since sustaining a shoulder injury during Liverpool's loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League final on 26 May.

Right-back Ahmed Fathi, who captained the side in the 1-0 loss to Uruguay, has recovered from a minor muscle problem and Tarek Hamed starts after being substituted on Friday with a back injury.

Egypt and Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny: "We all believe that we're able to beat them.

"We realise that this is going to be a very tough game against a host nation supported by thousands of fans. We are well aware of that, but we have no option other than winning, which means we need to keep our calm and focus.

"In the match against Russia we will go for it because we want to stay here for as long as we can. To play in a World Cup and experience this atmosphere is a dream you hope will never end."

Egypt are still waiting for their first win at a World Cup (D2, L3) - in their third tournament. They played in 1934 and 1990.

The Pharaohs have failed to score in each of their last three World Cup matches. Their last goal was a penalty scored by Magdy Adbelghani in a 1-1 with the Netherlands in 1990.

Their only World Cup clean sheet came in a 0-0 draw with the Republic of Ireland that summer.

Russia midfielder Anton Miranchuk: "It looks like Salah will play against us because they need points.

"Of course, he has a big influence on Egypt but the team is still 11 players, not one. Let's see what Salah can do against us."

Russia coach Stanislav Cherchesov says they know how to play against Egypt forward Mohamed Salah - who scored 44 goals for Liverpool last season.

"We know how to play against him. We are ready to stop Salah and we will.

"Of course Mo Salah is the strongest one of the team, we understand this, but we are not playing against one player, we have to take into consideration all the players.

"We understand how to do this and you will see this. What can I say? I trust in my team, I believe in my players and I will give you a simple answer to your question: we are ready to do this and we will do this."

After attending Russia's 5-0 thrashing of Saudi Arabia, Russian President Vladimir Putin will miss this game in his hometown St Petersburg.

Instead, he'll be in the Belarusian capital, Minsk, for talks with his counterpart, Alexander Lukashenko, and will be too busy even to catch the match live on TV, according to his spokesman, Dmitry Peskov.

Plenty of Egypt fans here in St Petersburg and all will be delighted Mo Salah is fit.

He took training yesterday, but faced a fitness test to prove he can play in this vastly important game.

Russia will be the first team virtually through to the second round with a win and if the fans here were sceptical before the first game of their side's chances, they are now starting to believe that this could be a very special tournament for them.

The World Cup did not start so well for Egypt. Mohamed Salah was expected to face Uruguay following a shoulder injury but ended up an unused substitute.

They lacked incision up front and lost 1-0 to Jose Gimenez's injury-time header.

The South Americans were deserved winners, with Luis Suarez missing four chances and Edinson Cavani hitting the post.

Russia - who are ranked 70th in the world - had been expected to struggle in their home World Cup.

But they started off with a spectacular 5-0 win over a woeful Saudi Arabia - the next lowest ranked team in the tournament.

Yuri Gazinsky headed them into the lead, with Denis Cheryshev - a substitute for the injured Alan Dzagoev - scoring twice. Another substitute, Artem Dzyuba, also headed in before Aleksandr Golovin's late free-kick.

That was the second largest win in an opening game of the World Cup (excluding the three World Cups where several games started the tournament at the same time).

Russia's two goalscorers from the bench in their opening game - Denis Cheryshev and Artem Dzyuba - both start this time.

We'll bring you more considered team news from both sides soon.

Neither of these sides can be 100% through or out today - but they can be when Uruguay and Saudi Arabia meet in the group's other game tomorrow (16:00 BST).

A Russia win would realistically be enough - barring an unlikely set of high-scoring results for Saudi Arabia and Uruguay to both overhaul their goal difference. A Uruguay win or draw tomorrow would make sure of the hosts' progress.

Similarly, Egypt will probably be facing elimination if they lose. A Uruguay draw or win tomorrow would guarantee it.

Big news to start off with - Mohamed Salah starts for Egypt.

This is his first game since going off in the Champions League final for Liverpool against Real Madrid with a shoulder injury.

All 32 teams have had one game (including the Poland v Senegal game that's into the second half) - a feeler into the World Cup.

Now we enter the real crunch time, the time when teams can start crashing out or booking their place in the knockout stages.

Welcome to Russia v Egypt and welcome to the second round of group fixtures.
