The final whistle goes. It finishes Denmark 1 (Eriksen 7') Australia 1 (Jedinak pen 38').  

Denmark force a corner that Eriksen takes. Is this the moment for Denmark? Not quite. Braithwaite's volley is weak and straight into Ryan's grateful arms.  

Eriksen hits a volley from about 25 yards but unusually for him his technique isn't quite right and he drags it a few yards wide. 

Three minutes of time to be added on. 

A Schmeichel double save keeps Australia out! First he beats away an Arzani effort from a tight angle before holding onto a Leckie volley that lacked conviction. Denmark survive. 

Australia really are extremely well-organised. Denmark are really struggling to create anything. And when Delaney does finally find himself in space, he completely messes up the cross. 

Braithwaite looks to have joined Cornelius up front  as Denmark move to a 4-4-2 in search of a winner. Sisto meanwhile picks up a yellow card for disputing an Australia free-kick. 

Australia make another change - Rogic of, Irvine on.  Like for like as one attacking midfielder replaces another. 

Denmark's bright start feels like an age ago now. Australia are well on top, and Leckie should do better from Arzani's excellent inswinging cross but he ends up shouldering the ball. 

Leckie twists and turns and fires in a shot that's deflected safely into Schmeichel's arms. Leckie's been great for Australia this half. 

Terrible blow for Australia as Nabbout suffers a serious-looking injury while challenging for the ball. It looks like a dislocated shouler. Nabbout is in absolute agony. 

Jurics come on to replace him. 

Another Australia effort. Rogic curls an effort in from the edge of the box that's easily saved by Schmeichel. Denmark's Sisto then skews an effort just wide of the far post from about 25 yards out. In between times, Cornelius looked to have had his shirt pulled in the box but nothing doing from the referee. 

Australia really on top all of a sudden. Mooy smashes a shot in from about 25 yards that swerves just over Schmeichel's crossbar. Denmark rocking. 

Australia very close to taking the lead as Schmeichel drops a cross that lands at Leckie's feet. Leckie smashes the ball across goal but Dalsgaard makes an excelllent clearance from under his own bar. 

Both sides make a substitution. Denmark replace Jorgensen with former Cardiff striker Cornelius. Australia take off Kruse off for the highly-rated youngster Arzani.  

Same pattern again. Denmark get to about 25 yards out but run out of ideas and can get no further. Even Eriksen looks suddenly bereft of invention. 

Sisto and Jorgensen try to combine down the Denmark left, but they get absolutely no change from the Aussie defence and eventually the ball runs out for a goal kick. 

Rogic does brilliantly to absolutely school Christensen with a nifty bit of close control. Luckily for Denmark, Kjaer covers for his fellow centre-back and nips in to intercept Rogic's pass meant for Leckie. 

Australia break dangerously again, with Kruse and Leckie to the fore. But the move ends with another weak cross into the box. 

Denamrk make a change - Poulsen, whose booking rules him out of Denmark's game against France, goes off for Braithwaite. 

Australia again get into a dangerous position but this time Risdon's cross is overhit and flies harmlessly out of play. There are definitely chances in this for Australia (and indeed Denmark). 

Now it's Australia's turn to almost take the lead. An excellent move down the left ends with a Behich cross that is just too strong for Leckie. An open start to the second half. 

Denmark very nearly reclaim their lead as Jorgensen beautifully flicks a pass into the path of Sisto, who curls a shot just wide of the near post. 

Australia begin the half on the front foot, but Leckie overruns the ball for a Denmark goal kick. No changes for either side personnel or tactics-wise at half time. 

We're back under way in Samara. 

The VAR debate rages in the ITV studio, as referee Mark Clattenburg says he doesn't think it should have been an Australia penalty. 

A really enjoyable first half. Eriksen put Denmark ahead with one of the goals of the tournament, before Australia battled back and just about deservedly scored an equaliser after another VAR intervention. The draw suits Denmark more than it does Australia, but it would be a surprise if Bert van Marwijk deviated from his counter-attacking tactics. 

Like what you saw there? Have a go at being the VAR yourself. 

All square at the break. A very entertaining first half. 

Two minutes of time to be added on.  

Sainsbury claims he is pushed over in the box, but the referee waves away the appeals. No VAR consultation this time. 

Here's the handball incident, as Australia pump a few more crosses into the box that are well dealt with by the Danish defence.  

Denmark so nearly back in front! Eriksen's low free-kick from the right evades everyone until Sainsbury inadvertently knocks the ball towards his own goal. Thankfully for Australia the deflection takes the ball straight into goalkeeper Ryan's arms. That could have gone anywhere. This game has really livened up. 

That goal ends Schmeichel's run of five consecutive clean sheets, and Denmark look rattled. Rogic gallops forward down the right and clips in a cross that just evades Leckie. 

Jedinak scored a penalty against France in Australia's opening World Cup game and will take this one. Schmeichel is chirping away at him. Can Jedinak hold his nerve? Yes he can! The Aussie captain sends Schmeichel the wrong way, rolling the ball to the keeper's left. We're level in Samara!

The referee gives a penalty and books Poulsen for handball! Big decision, that looked very borderline. 

Australia force another corner, and again Leckie meets it but his effort is blocked. Was there a handball from a Danish defender? VAR is being consulted! 

That's better from Australia. Leckie does brilliantly down the right and tees up Kruse for a shot about 12 yards out that's blocked on its way to goal. Probably the closest Australia have come to scoring. 

Australia are getting a bit of joy down the flanks but they're just lacking that bit of quality to turn that into chances. Set-pieces look like being their most likely route to goal. 

Dalsgaard incidentally has been superb for Denmark. Bombing up and down the flank from right-back. His opposite number Risdon gets a cross in for Australia that Christensen heads away. 

How has he missed that? Jorgensen gets his head on Dalsgaard's superb right-wing cross but he somehow puts it wide at the near post. Huge chance for Denmark. 

Sisto, who's been bright for Denmark, makes space for a shot and stings Ryan's palms with a volley from range. It's a comfortable save though for the Australia goalkeeper. 

Australia make good progress down the left but Kruse's attempted cross deflects back off himself and out for a goal kick. 

Australia's gameplan seemed to be to try and contain Denmark and hit them on the break. Despite going behind they're still playing in a similar way, holding their shape as Denmark pass the ball around in front of them. 

Incidentally, look at how that Eriksen goal flew past Mathew Ryan.  

Australia have responded well and forced a few corners. They do look dangerous from Mooy's delivery but Kasper Schmeichel has been untroubled thus far. 

Not sure there's been a better goal this tournament. The technique required to get that right and not slice the ball over...very few players in the wolrd besides Eriksen could have managed it. Denmark looking well placed to reach the last 16.  

Sensational goal puts Denmark in front! Jorgensen flicks a pass into the path of Eriksen, who smashes a half-volley left-footed into the roof of the net. What a hit that was from the Tottenham man. 

Swift Australia breakaway led by Leckie ends with Rogic getting a shot away from the edge of the box that's deflected wide for a corner. Mooy swings the corner in beautifully to Leckie, who meets it powerfully but sends his header over the bar. Should have got that on target. 

Australia are stroking the ball around in their own half. Each pass is met with an 'ole' by their very vocal supporters. 

Australia forward Kruse gives away a free-kick straight away wide on the right. Eriksen whips it in dangerously for Denmark but Milligan heads clear. From the resulting corner Delaney (not the former Aston Villa defender) skews a header a few feet wide. 

We're under way in Samara. All eyes on Christian Eriksen, and whether Mile Jedinak and Aaron Mooy can keep him at bay. 

A reminder of the teams for this one:

Denmark (4-2-3-1): Schmeichel; Dalsgaard, Kjaer, Christensen, Stryger; Delaney, Schöne; Poulsen, Eriksen, Sisto; Jorgensen.

Australia (4-2-3-1): Ryan; Milligan, Behich, Risdon, Sainsbury; Mooy, Jedinak; Rogic, Leckie, Kruse; Nabbout. 

And lining up for the national anthems. 

We've heard a lot about VAR over the last few days, but this is very nice from Al Tyers: The unintended consequences of VAR. 

Denmark, who won their opener,  will all but qualify with a win today. Australia, will pretty much be eliminated if they lose and a draw does them little good either. 

Now or never for the Socceroos (who apparently don't really like being called that).  

Denmark (4-2-3-1): Schmeichel; Dalsgaard, Kjaer, Christensen, Stryger; Delaney, Schöne; Poulsen, Eriksen, Sisto; Jorgensen.

Just the one change for Denmark, as Lasse Schone comes in for the injured William Kvist in midfield. 

Bert van Marwijk has named an unchanged team. 

Australia (4-2-3-1): Ryan; Milligan, Behich, Risdon, Sainsbury; Mooy, Jedinak; Rogic, Leckie, Kruse; Nabbout. 

Tim Cahill is on the bench. 

This is really cool. Tell us what you think will be the key factors in today's game and our clever machine will tell you what the score will be. 

Personally, I'm expecting a 2-0 Denmark win.
