  1. Roman Zobnin (4) made the most tackles in the first half. He also made the most in Russia's opening match against Saudi Arabia (6).

  2. 'A poor half'

    It was a poor half, I thought, it was not a great standard with only one effort on target.

    Russia are trying to get down the sides and get crosses into their big man in the box but we're desperately hoping for more.

    Mo Salah, you can tell, is only 70-75% fit and they know that - they're protecting him, he's not running back and they're just trying to get the ball up to him.

    It's been a frustrating half for him.

  3. WATCH: Salah curls one wide from 18 yards

    Mohamed Salah's best moment of the first half...

    Adam O'Neil: After no games in the first round of group games finished 0-0, this is nailed on to finish 0-0.

    Keep the faith, Adam.

  7. 'Dzyuba too static'

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    Russia are playing cross after cross and have not made anything. Some find Dzyuba but they usually just bounce off his head, he's very static.

    It's hard to grab a hold and mark you if you keep moving, he needs to drop in and out of the box. It's been lumbering, it's lazy. He's got to give himself a bit of a run.

  9. This isn't the strongest World Cup group there's ever been.

    It involves the teams ranked 70th (Russia), 67th (Saudi Arabia), 45th (Egypt) and 14th (Uruguay) in the world.

  10. Russia 0-0 Egypt

    Only one shot on target in that first half - through veteran Russia defender Sergei Ignashevich.

    Russia have had eight in total, with five for Egypt.

  11. HALF-TIME

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    No need for injury-time. We're level at the break.

  12. 'Salah-lite'

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    Pat Nevin
    Former Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 live

    This is Mo Salah lite. I am impressed with him, he's kept going. He is putting his body on the line, he's doing the right intelligent things. Even if I say he's not the Salah we know, I'm still impressed.

  13. Russia 0-0 Egypt

    Not long until the break now.

  14. Russia 0-0 Egypt

    Denis Cheryshev takes a corner for Russia, but Artem Dzyuba - who is in a physical tussle with Ali Gabr - can't get a shot in.

    Dzyuba must be exhausting to mark, he's constantly grappling away.

  15. Salah goes close

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    The only surprise is the net didn't bulge.

    It's exactly the position we've seen Mo Salah score from so many times but he just can't quite wrap his foot around it.

  16. Russia 0-0 Egypt

    Chance for Mohamed Salah - Marwan Mohsen steps over the ball so it can run to Salah. He swivels and curls one just wide from 18 yards. Better.

  17. But no goals for Russia's reds yet...

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    Meanwhile I'm looking out onto an empty plaza in Salford...

  18. Russia 0-0 Egypt

    Mohamed Salah has a chance to get away from his defender but can't turn on the turbo boost.

    Now Mohamed Elneny plays a good ball into the box, which Marwan Mohsen tries to head down to Salah but it's through to the keeper.

  19. Nothing in it...

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    It's very tight - according to the stats.

    Next to nothing in the possession. Six shots for the hosts, four for Egypt. A game very much in the balance. Any goal before half-time would be absolutely huge.

    Russia 0-0 Egypt.

  20. WATCH: Cheryshev has an effort from 20 yards

    Plenty of half-chances but nothing too memorable so far. Here's the best of the bunch in the opening 37 minutes...
