    Otunba Kahill: This game has started at an insane pace. The fitness levels of the players is just unbelievable - doubt if they'll maintain that pace for the whole game though.

    Chris Harvey: Love open, attacking games like this. Both teams realise that, given the last group fixture, the winner is highly likely to go through second behind Uruguay.

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    The wonderfully named Trezeguet curls one wide for Egypt from the edge of the box.

    The Kasimpasa forward's real name is Mahmoud Ahmed Ibrahim Hassan but his nickname comes from former France striker David Trezeguet, who he apparently looks slightly alike.

    Ted: Every time Salah goes near the ball, two nations rise as one and start worrying for different reasons.

    Paul: One man doesn't make a team. As good as Salah is, Russia will win this.

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    This corner is played short, there's a bit of pinball in the box and it's out for an Egypt throw-in. Russia eventually clear their lines.

    Russia are doing everything they possibly can they well get the ball wide, whether it is left or right, so Dzyuba can attack every cross.

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    Denis Cheryshev - who scored twice in the opener - has a shot blocked from 20 yards out. Egypt are hanging in there. Luckily their two West Brom defenders should be used to being busy.

    Such noise in the St Petersburg Stadium. Three shots for Russia already, none for Egypt.

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    Aleksandr Golovin is the one playing in the number 10 role for Russia, he looks like he's going to have a free role to cause damage and to use his skill.

    He wants the ball all the time, he's creative and he's a young player playing with freedom.

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    A good physical battle between Artem Dzyuba and Ahmed Hegazi down near the corner flag. Dzyuba wants a corner but the referee rules in favour of the West Brom defender and gives a goal-kick.

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    Another corner from Russia but it goes all the way across the box. This is a really bright start from the hosts. Their fans can probably hardly believe their performance in the first 100 minutes of this tournament.

    Helles: The opening games are over and you can already feel the difference in this second game for both teams. The urgency of Egypt and the self confidence of Russia after their win.

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    First corner is to Russia and it's followed by the first shot. Aleksandr Samedov plays a one-two from the corner and his cross finds the head of veteran Sergei Ignashevich - but Mohamed El-Shenawy saves.

    And a second shot as Aleksandr Golovin takes the ball off an Egypt defender but drags his 20-yard shot wide.

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    A couple of early sloppy passes from Egypt. Mohamed Salah is yet to really get involved. It's a must-not-lose for them.

    If you're an opposition defender, you are going to hit Salah, give him a crunching tackle. There will be players taking turns on him to see if he's fit. It can be a great test for you as a footballer if you are fit, because Salah himself might not know until he takes that first hit.

    Russia 0-0 Egypt

    First attack is for Russia but a pass forward is played just behind big man up front Artem Dzyuba.
