Close!

Samuel Gouet lets rip with an absolute belter of a strike from way out. It is travelling too, but hits the post and goes wide.

Oh, it almost was you know!

Karl Toko Ekambi glances the whipped free-kick on but Mohamed Abougabal is there to get down and save.

Free-kick Cameroon. Wide right. Near the Egypt box. Is this the moment?

Cameroon haven't really come out this half. Certainly not in the way they were in the first. Has Egypt's fresh attacking intent made them think twice? The nerves will be jangling on both sides now.

Mohamed Salah is seeing much more of the ball now. He's not doing a huge amount with it, though.

Omar Marmoush is replaced by ex-Stoke man Ramadan Sobhi.

Two changes now for Egypt, none for Cameroon.

Two yellow cards. One to Samuel Gouet for a foul, the other for Mohamed Elneny for something he has said.

When Mohamed Salah failed to take advantage of that back pass he ripped two big chunks of turf out with his hands in frustration. Not sure the groundstaff will thank him.

This is much more lively now...from both teams.

I do like Andre Onana in the Cameroon goal, makes very few mistakes.

We haven't had to see him in action much today.

We've had an hour and we're still no closer to knowing who Senegal's final opponents will be.

Oh, Mohamed Salah is almost in. A dire back pass releases the forward, but his touch doesn't take the ball wide enough to go around onrushing Cameroon keeper Andre Onana.

There is that pressure they spoke about in the studio at the break. Makes players do funny things.

The second corner clears everyone.

Both players are back up, but it is Egypt keeper Mohamed Abougabal who punches the corner. Behind it goes, though, for another corner.

So many blows to the head in this tournament. Two Egypt players are down now after hitting nuts in defending a free-kick and conceding a corner.

Richard T: This game is fast turning into a one goal game. Tense!

Egypt coach Carlos Queiroz is a bit happier now. He's clapping his side.

Wild!

Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa has delusions of grandeur, latching on to a loose ball 40 yards out for a rising shot that keeps rising, high, high over the bar.

Definitely more lively. They've started this half on the front foot.

For a moment it looks like Omar Marmoush might be in, but Cameroon rally to steer him away from goal and the attack fizzles out.

Egypt do look a bit more lively now.
