Depending on the standings in Group G, one of today's games (both kicking off at 12.30pm) will be screened live, with the main action from the other. At Oita in Japan, the Mexicans face the mighty Italians, many pundits'tournament tip. In Yokohama, Croatia, who came third in 1998, take on Ecuador, first-time qualifiers but with striker Agustin Delgado likely to pose a constant threat.

Hosted by Gary Lineker, with commentary by John Motson and Trevor Brooking.
