Croatia continue to probe as Russia prepare to make another change.

That change should see Modric take a more advanced role in the midfield. Croatia have been crying out for it to happen really.

Dzyuba meets a right-wing corner but can only guide his header straight at Subasic.

OFF THE POST! Perisic takes advantage of real panic in the Russia six-yard box, takes a touch and fires in a low shot that hits the inside of the post and bounces out.
58'
Rebic with a speculative shot from distance that flashes harmlessly over the bar.
56'
Dzyuba and Cheryshev lead a counter at speed, but the latter slightly overruns it and can only stab a tame pass straight to Strinic on the stretch.

RUSSIA CHANGE: Erokhin on for Samedov.

Vrsaljko down clutching his right leg after he was caught late by Cheryshev. PLay has been halted for him to receive treatment.
52'
Kramaric attempts the overhead kick, but doesn't get enough purchase on it and it's easy enough for Akinfeev.
52'
They were both dangerous throughout the first half, but have yet to show since the restart.
