FIFA World Cup: Day ten, live scores, results, highlights

It's the Batshuayi show...

81 mins - This time, a fine save from Ben Mustapha denies Batshuayi, who collects the rebound and tries his luck again, only for his shot to be partially blocked and balloon over the bar.

Batshuayi could - strike that, should - have had a hat-trick in the last ten minutes.

It just won't go in for Batshuayi!

79 mins - Carrasco belts a shot at Ben Mustapha from inside the box. The keeper spills it and it falls to Batshuayi, who belts the ball onto the crossbar from six yards out. He really should have scored there.

And moments after a fine defensive tackle denies him on the edge of the box.

Batshuayi denied again!

76 mins - Batshuayi is played in by Mertens. He rounds the keeper and sends the ball toward the goal. But Yassine Meriah has followed the play and is able to clear off the goal-line. So close for the Chelsea forward who has been turning out for Borussia Dortmund on loan.

Batshuayi denied by Ben Mustapha

75 mins - The Tunisian keeper rushes out of his box to deny the Chelsea forward. But was that handball? Belgium coach Roberto Martinez seems to think so... But the referee waves the appeals away.

Khaoui belts one well over the bar

70 mins - A Badri free-kick form the left eventually falls to the Tunisian midfielder outside the box. He wellies the ball into row Z.

You get the feeling Tunisia knew what was coming, after the break:

Hazard comes off

68 mins - Both goalscorers are off now, as Michy Batshuayi comes on. Jan Vertonghen takes the captain's armband from Hazard.

A minute earlier, a nice bit of footwork from Badri sees him firing a low shot with Courtois deals with .

Belgium fire a shot just over

62 mins - Yannick Carrasco tries to bend the ball into the top right. Over and just wide, it had some pace to it. Another goal to come, surely...

In the meantime, the rain has started to come down amid the sunshine.

Good work from the Tunisians comes to nothing

61 mins - Ben Youssef hares down the right, crossing a low ball into the Belgium box. Miscommunication between Badri and Khazri, who leave it for each other. Somebody should have forced Courtois into action there.

A pair of substitutions and we can draw breath again

59 mins- Lukaku is wrapped in cotton wool, with upcoming matches in mind. Manchester United teammate Marouane Fellaini, who gets his first taste of action for the tournament.

And the Tunisians make their own change - their last for the match - as Sassi comes off for Naim Sliti. That's a bit of a risk for the Tunisians, who will be hoping for no injuries in the final half-hour.

Decent attempt from Tunisia

55 mins - A clever moment of invention from Ferjani Sassi, who spots Courtois off his line and lobs one a shot from 25 yards. The Belgian keeper is happy to see it drift wide.
