Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Tunisia v Algeria in a North African derby in Group D of the African Cup of Nations at Royal Bafokeng Stadium. Kick off at 6pm.

Abdennour with a shove in Slimani's back. He needs to watch out, he's been booked already. Free-kick around 35 yards from the Tunisian goal...

Msakni with a tidy little pass to release Harbaoui, but it's a shade too heavy and rolls out for a goal kick.

Back to the scrappiness as fouls punctuate any attempts to string passes together.

Tiny bit better from Tunisia as an overlapping run from Ifa creates space, but the Msakni ball is overhit.

Any hopes of a more positive start to the second half evaporate as both sides line up deep.

The second half is underway. Hopefully more fun than the first.

TUNISIA SUB: Darragi replaces fellow midfielder Traoui. Not surprising - he is better on the ball than the Esperance DM.

Half-time in Rustenburg and it's goalless after a dreary match so far between Tunisia and Algeria.

Two minutes added time being played.

Tunisia come forward now as Khalifa finds Hammami, but he hits a hopeful crossfield pass that doesn't reach Harbaoui.

Great cross from Lacen that almost lands for Feghouli but Tunisia scramble the ball clear.

Guedioura has a pop from range but it hits team-mate Slimani en route and flies well wide for a goal kick. Slimani was offside anyway.

Counter attack for Tunisia as Msakni releases Khalifa down the right, he takes a while to steady the shot and drives it at a good height for Mbohli. Didn't look like he thought he could score there.

Algeria have a free-kick on the left which Kadir swings in, decent ball but Tunisia clear.

Both teams are defending very deep and closing the spaces at all opportunities. It's like a Serie A game 10 years ago.

Khalifa comes forward, finding Hammami on the right, but his final ball is poor and Mbolhi claims.

Harbaoui has been leading with the arm and this time he is penalised for it, and carded after catching Belkalem.

He was complaining because the free-kick went the other way, but Chammam's delivery is cleared and the loose ball is claimed by MBolhi.

The ref calls over Medjani and warned for complaining after Harbaoui's arm strays towards his head.

That move has spurred Tunisia on a bit but Ifa goes down, expecting a free-kick but losing the ball and ignored by the ref.

Harbaoui strays offside to halt a promising and now rare Tunisian foray forward.
