23:58 BST - FULL-TIME: Croatia have beaten Ghana 2-1, which means the Croatians finish second in the group and, sadly, that is the end of the line for Scotland at this World Cup.

23:55 BST - FULL-TIME: There's the final whistle that confirms England's 2-0 win, which places them at the top of Group L. Click here for our report from New Jersey.
23:50 BST - NO GOAL! Wow. Panama have the ball in the back of the net to send their fans wild, but the offside flag is up. Replays show it was the right call, but mighty close.
23:46 BST - CHANCE! Rashford is on the receiving end of a cross at the back post, but his touch is not a good one and the ball flies past the wrong side of the post.
23:45 BST - GOAL! Ghana's leveller did not last long - Vlasic has reinstated Croatia's lead with a goal that makes it 2-1.
23:41 BST - And here's the starting XIs for DR Congo and Uzbekistan:
23:40 BST - Some team news coming in for the next games - here's how Portugal will line up against Colombia:
23:37 BST - GOAL! Ghana have drawn level against Croatia thanks to Luckassen. It's 1-1, and that means Scotland, as it stands, are still in with a shot of staying alive at this World Cup.
23:26 BST - GOAL! And another! Bellingham turns provider as he puts in an inviting cross, and Kane gets into position to head England into a 2-0 lead. That goal means Kane is now the highest scoring player from England in World Cup history (11 goals) since at least 1965/1966, surpassing the record set by Gary Lineker.
23:21 BST - GOAL! Bellingham gives England the lead from a corner! It's about as casual as can be, as he's tangled with his marker and just sticks out the left leg to beat the goalkeeper from close range.
23:20 BST - Quansah is leaving the pitch and is being replaced by Spence, and Saka is making way for Madueke.
23:19 BST - Well if there's anything that could make this whole situation worse, this is it: Quansah is down and receiving treatment on his ankle.
23:17 BST - A couple of England chances there as Kane goes close. It does feel like England are growing into this game, but it's still 0-0 and there's nearly an hour gone.
23:15 BST - SHOT! Rodriguez has just given England another warning there. Tuchel's side hand over possession in midfield, and the defence fails to close down the threat. The Panama striker tries to curl in a long-range shot which goes over the top right corner, but it still will have raised some heartrates out there.
23:14 BST - Rashford goes on a long run down the left which ends in a shot, but it hits the side netting. Kane looks a little frustrated that Rashford didn't pick up his run.
23:11 BST - There was a huge chance for Kane in front of goal but the defence does well enough to end the threat and concede a corner. As it is, the referee had blown for a Panama free-kick for a foul in the build-up.
23:04 BST - And we're back underway. A huge half of football coming up! Well, two.
23:03 BST - Once again, a long way to go, but here's how things could end up for England based on the next 45 minutes or so...
If England top the group, here's the likely route to the final:
R32 Congo/Senegal > L16 Mexico > QF: Brazil > SF: Argentina > F: France
And if they finish second, here's what is likely to be the route to the final:
R32 Portugal > L16 Spain > QF: USA > SF: France > F: Argentina

22:57 BST - Tuchel is no doubt delivering a half-time team talk similar to the one he gave during the break of England's opener against Croatia. The scoreline won't scare England fans too much, but the lack of quality might.
22:49 BST - HALF-TIME: We've reached the halfway stage of both games.
Panama 0-0 England
Croatia 1-0 Ghana
22:48 BST - Rashford curls a shot over the wall, but it's a good yard at least wide of the post.
22:47 BST - England have a free-kick in a handy position here...
22:46 BST - There will be three minutes of added time in the first half, all of which are due to that very restorative water break earlier on.
22:38 BST - CLOSE! Wow. Rashford leaps up in the area and gets his head on the ball, but the attempt goes over the crossbar. England starting to get close to that opener.
22:32 BST - Sucic is the man to make it 1-0 for Croatia against Ghana. As it stands, they are top of the group. If it stays that way, Scotland will be out of the World Cup.
22:30 BST - According to Opta, Bukayo Saka has attempted three shots in this game - more than any other player.
22:27 BST - SHOT! The right-back area has been slightly problematic for England, and they're almost made to pay straight after the water break as Rodriguez fires a dangerous shot at Pickford. The England stopper is equal to it, but the ease with which Panama broke down that area of the pitch will cause a little alarm in the England camp.
22:25 BST - England had a good period towards the end there, let's hope that continues after the incredibly important water break. The upside for Tuchel's side right now is that Ghana and Croatia remain goalless as well.
22:23 BST - There's been enough rainfall in the stadium to get Noah back on the tools, but still, time for a hydration break.
22:21 BST - England have had 70% possession over the opening 15 minutes of this game, according to Opta.
22:17 BST - A promising break for Panama ends due to a lack of polish from Rodriguez rather than any good defensive work.
22:15 BST - Thomas Tuchel is cutting a fairly frustrated figure on the touchline. There's a long way to go of course, but aside from that Rashford shot, there's not been much to suggest England are raring to go like they've been promising all week. But again, a long way still to go.
22:08 BST - SHOT! Bellingham has been busy in the early exhchanges of this game, but it's Rashford who troubles the goalkeeper first in New York. He fizzes in a long-range effort to the bottom left corner, which is palmed away safely - but Mosquera had to move quickly to make sure of it.
22:01 BST - After a minute's silence for the victims of the earthquake in Venezuala, we have kicked off in both Group L games. Stay with us as we bring you updates from both.
21:57 BST - The anthems are done - time for England's final group game of this World Cup!
21:49 BST - "We want to prove a point," Thomas Tuchel told ITV Football ahead of kick-off.
21:42 BST - A little over 15 minutes remaining before we kick-off in New York.
21:36 BST - The conditions will at least feel familiar to the English players.
21:29 BST - Some incredibly sad news coming out of the Netherlands camp. Cody Gakpo has decided to remain with the squad at the World Cup after the death of his unborn son. Our thoughts are with him and his family.

21:07 BST - And they've made themselves at home.
20:59 BST - England are in the house...
20:44 BST - There's of course another game going on at the same time, as Ghana take on Croatia knowing a win would put pressure on England in terms of who finishes top of Group L. Here's how the two teams line up.
20:39 BST - Here's the team news and the headline is that Jarell Quansah starts at right-back in what has become a huge position in terms of England’s hopes of adding another World Cup title to their name.
Up front, Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford have been handed their first starts of the tournament, with both likely to be among the goals tonight.
England XI: Pickford, O'Reilly, Guehi, Konsa, Quansah, Anderson, Rogers, Bellingham, Saka, Kane, Rashford
Subs: Rice, Stones, Chalobah, D.Henderson, J.Henderson, Rice, Mainoo, Gordon, Watkins, Madueke, Eze, Toney, Trafford, Spence
