Coverage as Japan play their final group game, taking on Colombia.

Manish Bhasin presents live coverage of the climax of Group C as reigning Asian champions Japan face Colombia in Cuiaba. Commentary comes from Jonathan Pearce and Mark Lawrenson.

Manish Bhasin introduces live World Cup coverage as Japan play their final group game, taking on Colombia at the Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba. There will also be also extensive analysis and reaction from England's match against Costa Rica, which takes place a few hours earlier. 

Reigning Asian champions Japan are hoping to reach the last 16 for the third time in four World Cups. Coached by Italian Alberto Zaccheroni, the Blue Samurai will hope for inspiration from AC Milan star Keisuke Honda, who was man-of-the-match in two of their four games at the 2010 World Cup. 

The Colombians were tipped as potential dark horses prior to the start of this tournament despite having not played at a World Cup since 1998. They have only reached the last 16 once before in their history - that was in 1990, when they eventually bowed out to a Roger Milla-inspired Cameroon. There will also be highlights from the other game in Group C, which sees Greece take on Ivory Coast. 

Commentary from Jonathan Pearce and Mark Lawrenson.
