It's day 11 in Russia and the final round of games of the second stage of the group stage
First up, England take on Panama in Nizhny Novgorod at 1pm
Then Senegal play Japan at 4pm in Ekaterinburg
Finally, James Rodriguez's Colombia face Robert Lewandowski's Poland in Kazan at 7pm

England start the day knowing that a victory over Panama will secure them safe passage through to the last-16 of the World Cup, but defeat will leave them horribly exposed heading into the final round of fixtures.

After watching Group G rivals Belgium thrash Tunisia 5-1 on Saturday, England can join the Red Devils in the next round with a victory in today’s early game. However, should they fail to win, Panama will enter next Thursday with the potential to knock England out at the group stage for the second consecutive World Cup.

With kick-off in Nizhny Novgorod scheduled for 13:00 BST, there’s not long to wait to see the Three Lions in action.

Afterwards, Group H takes centre stage as Japan take on Senegal looking to make it two wins from two, before Poland and Colombia meet with both sides looking to get off the mark. Follow all the latest news below.
