That's it from us for today, thank you for tuning in.

But don't go too far, in fact, Tom Rostance and the Croatia v England live match centre is up and running, and is just one click away, here.

Bye for now!

KW: Watching in the air traffic control tower at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. Praying no one wants to land or take off for a couple of hours!

Craig White: Watching at The Reforma Athletic Club in Mexico City. As well as being the home of Mexican cricket, the England World Cup team of 1986 trained and had their base here. They had a game of cricket. Sir Bobby, Gary, and co.

Richard South: Half day at work so I can watch it in a bar in Port St.Lucie, Florida. Somehow watching it at work (a library) wouldn't be appropriate

Adam Salter: Waiting for my train at Tonbridge and staff have started playing ‘Three Lions’ over the tannoy system.

Excellent improvisation skills, Nick

St George's flags already in place at the Luzhniki Stadium.

Joe Reid: Watching in Zadar, Croatia home of Modric and co. Wish me luck when celebrating! Been blasting the tunes out all day to soften the Croatian music. Unbelievably excited.

Chris Parrish: Watching with my family in Roslagen, Sweden. Come on England! Cool heads, brave hearts!

Bell Stephen: Being half French and half-British, in the event of an England-France final I'll be weeping for joy and sadness whoever wins!

The Tottenham striker has scored on six of the seven days of the week for England, with Wednesday the only day he hasn’t scored on.

Should he score, he’ll become just the third player to score on all seven days of the week for England, after Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard.

Former England captain Steven Gerrard, speaking at a Rangers press conference, said:

"I think he (Gareth Southgate) is someone I’ve always looked up to. As a player when I came into the dressing room he was someone who always put his arm around me and helped me. Myself and Gareth Barry when we went to our first tournament, he was the one who went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. We were away from our families for a long time and Gareth really took it upon himself – which he didn’t have to - to look after us.

"I think that’s the guy you’re dealing with, someone who cares immensely about the country, is desperate to do well. He’s much, much further down the line than me in terms of management and coaching. I’m so happy for him at the moment. "

A man was arrested on the outskirts of St Petersburg for spying on behalf of the Croatian team

A technician for telecommunications provider “Rostelekoma” was taken to a police station by members of the FSB. The man was found on the roof of a building close to the stadium where the English team are training. Portal Fontanka writes that the technician said he wasn’t trying to spy on the English, but was merely taking panoramic photographs. These were deleted at the police station, after which the man was released.

It was disappointment for Marrouane Fellaini as his Belgium side crashed out of the tournament to France last night.

But the Manchester United midfielder's World Cup is not over quite yet, as his side play in the third-place play-off on Saturday afternoon.

If he starts for Belgium, will he be playing England or Croatia?

Tom McCarron: I'm so so so so so so nervous... 3 hours to go GULP!

Reality Check: Every minute of work today seems to take forever with the #ENGCRO, external countdown and Three Lions on loop in my head.

Hold on, should Gareth Southgate not be in Moscow?

England fans may be en route to Pula in Croatia via Leeds-Bradford, but there's no doubting where their loyalties will lie at 7pm.

Former England midfielder and Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has liked what he's seen from England so far.

The ex-Liverpool player told a Rangers press conference: "I’ve been so pleased and happy to watch the players perform. I think they’ve done the country proud. It seems every barrier that they face or every hurdle that gets put in their way they seem to be getting over it and getting over it comfortably.

"I think tonight will be the biggest test for them. Croatia deserve respect, they’ve got some wonderful players within them, but I do predict an England win. I think the energy, the organisation, the confidence and the feel-good factor at the moment, England are a force and they are capable of going the whole way. I suspect there’s a lot of pressure but England are the dangerous team at the moment."
