Thank you very much, Katie!

Greetings afternoon readers. Gold star if you have been with us since the crack of dawn.

We've got our eyes fixed on the England camp as Gareth Southgate and Harry Maguire are set to speak to the media very soon ahead of the game against the USA on Friday.

We'll also be looking at the other matches coming up in Qatar today.

I'm going to pass you over now to my colleagues Lorraine and Craig, who will bring you all the latest from the England camp very shortly!

See you soon.

And that concludes Gareth Bales Q&A with the media.

Wales

On scoring during big moments, he said: "The bigger the occasion the more I focus."

"I seem to have a knack of scoring in big moments.

"It is good for the team and we are not too bothered by when, why, what, who."

Wales

On whether schools in Wales should let their pupils watch their game against Iran in class: "With it being a 10am kick-off in Wales if I was a teacher I would let them all watch the game and hopefully they will do.

"A lot of schools will put the game on, to cheer us on, and it's also a mini history lesson."

Wales

Bale on the training the team have been doing in the heat and how they are coping with it.

He says while it's hot in Qatar, it's not "crazy warm" - although he does acknowledge the conditions have been challenging.

Bale added that the team have a training and nutrition plan to deal with the heat and humidity, which will give them an advantage if they execute it.

Wales

Bale is asked about being blocked by Fifa from wearing the OneLove armband ahead of the USA game.

The Welsh skipper says the team "weren't too happy" about not being able to wear it.

Bale adds the team are supportive of the cause, but adds they're "here to play football" first and foremost.

The team must now "concentrate on the football, but adds "outside of the game if there's anything we can do we will".

Bale on Joe Allen: "Joe’s a massive player for us and probably doesn’t get all the credit he deserves.

"He’s a vital cog in the way we play. To have him available for selection is a massive boost for us.

"He’s going to do what Joe Allen does best and cover every blade of grass on the football pitch.”

Wales

More from Wales captain Gareth Bale: "Football games aren't so easy. We need to play well and be clinical with our finishing.

"We would love to score more goals but football games aren't so easy.

"Hopefully tomorrow we can have a game where we score lots of goals and win.

"We will not think because England won 6-2 it will be a walkover. We will not be sucked into that."

Wales

On how much respect he has for Iranian players who chose not to sing anthem on Monday in an apparent expression of support for anti-government protests in their home country.

"It must be a difficult situation they find themselves in.

"As footballers they have a platform to raise their voices.

"I don't know a lot about it, I'm not a politician and I am here to play football.

"But I guess they are doing it to make lives better."

On overtaking Chris Gunter as Wales' most capped man tomorrow, Bale said: "I haven’t really been focusing on the cap thing to be honest, just trying to focus on the game,

"It’s an amazing achievement and honour to represent my country so many times but it’s more important we win tomorrow and make it even more special."

That's all from Rob Page but Gareth Bale has just taken his seat ...

Wales

More from Page on Iran's heavy 6-2 defeat to England: "They were up against a very good English team.

"Look at the subs they [England] brought on, they would get in most other teams.

"Iran will be disappointed but I still think they were quality goals [that England scored]. They will be looking for a reaction."
