  1. Post update

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    Suddenly, Norway are playing in the Netherlands half. A bit more ambition from the visitors. It comes to little, though.

  2. Post update

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    Louis van Gaal looks reasonably calm, though. A draw is enough for his side and he's content to make notes and watch on.

    Maybe a shot from Kristian Thorstvedt, which flashes across goal and wide might make him a bit more worried. That is Norway's first of the game.

  3. Post update

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    I appreciate there is a lot at stake here, but it really is a drab, dull game this.

  4. Post update

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    Kristian Thorstvedt is operating close to Alexander Sorloth in attack, so Norway are at least trying to provide a bit more of a punch up top.

  5. Post update

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    We pick up where we left off... a lot of Dutch passes going side to side or backwards with the Norway players shifting across the pitch in front of them.

  6. KICK-OFF

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    And we are back under way. Any chance of a dramatic goal?

    Norway have sent on Kristian Thorstvedt and Jens Hauge for Morten Thorsby and Ola Solbakken. That's at least something positive from the visitors, who need a goal.

  7. Post update

    So, as it stands in Group G, the Netherlands are going through automatically to Qatar. Turkey have the play-off place as it stands, with their game in Montenegro currently 1-1 at half-time.

    The good news for Norway is that they are just one goal from taking the big prize. The bad news: they've not even had a sniff of a shot yet in Rotterdam.

  8. Elsewhere...

    It's also goalless at the break in Helsinki between France and Finland. It means the latter currently hold a play-off place, with Ukraine drawing 0-0 at Bosnia-Herzegovina.

  9. HALF-TIME

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    We've had no drama, or excitement to be frank.

  10. YELLOW CARD

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    Another Norway man into the book. Alexander Sorloth's late slide on Virgil van Dijk is punished.

  11. Post update

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    Arnaut Danjuma has been lively when given the chance.

    He drives to the byline and fires over a low cross that just needs a team-mate to gamble on for what would have been a poke at a largely unguarded net. Nobody does, though, and Norway clear. Frustrating.

  12. Post update

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    Ambitious from Memphis Depay!

    The ball falls to him on the edge of box following a Norway clearance and he volleys back and on target. It is too close to Orjan Nyland, though.

  13. YELLOW CARD

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    It really is just a holding job for Norway here at the moment. Morten Thorsby goes into the book for hauling down Denzel Dumfries.

  14. Post update

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    The Netherlands need to move the ball an awful lot quicker if they are to unlock this Norway side. At present, the slow pace is allowing the visitors to reset at the back.

  15. Post update

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    It would seem that Norway are aiming for a frustrate, smash and grab here to try and make it to Qatar. So risky, in the least thrilling way possible.

  16. Post update

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    There is only one side looking to make anything happen in an attacking sense here and they are dressed in orange. Every time they get the ball, though, there tends to be 11 Norwegians between them and the goal.

  17. Goalless in Helsinki

    Finland 0-0 France

    Not much to report from this game so far, although Kylian Mbappe has just fired a low shot past the post.

  18. Post update

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    And another chance!

    A volleyed cross from Steven Bergwijn is sent into the six-yard box for Memphis Depay to meet with his head but he puts his effort straight at Orjan Nyland again.

    Norway dicing with death here by being so passive.

  19. Post update

    Netherlands 0-0 Norway

    Chance!

    Davy Klassen unleashes Arnaut Danjuma, who is allowed to cut inside and find an angle. The Dutch winger's shot, though, is wide of the far post.

  20. Post update

    Montenegro 1-1 Turkey

    Turkey are back in it! Kerem Akturkoglu brings them level!

    Turkey now back above Norway and into the play-off spot.
