our sports editor, dan roan, is with england in nizhny novgorod.r the first time in 12 years, england arrived here tonight with momentum behind them. with temperatures in nizhniy novgorod set to exceed 30 degrees tomorrow, manager gareth southgate's team must acclimatise quickly, but he believes they can handle the heat of competition. we still want to play in the style that we came into this tournament. nothing has changed in my view. we are a team who are hungry. the conditions here will favour a panama side who are appearing in their first world cup, and what their players lacking profile they more than make up for in physicality. we've seen already the difficulty big countries in terms of rankings have had breaking down lower ranked teams, that has been a theme right the way throughout. so there's no way there's any complacency in the way that we've prepared for the game. england had captain harry kane to thank for their last—gasp victory against tunisia on monday, but their performance pointed to real progress for this developing side. these a

meanwhile know they could qualify for the knockout stages of the tournament if they beat panama in nizhny novgorod that gareth has been working on, to build that team spirit, that strength, that bond. these situations happen. it can be unsettling for the group and this is when it's put to the test. so i hope it won't unsettle them. i'm sure it won't, because they look like a good, strong group. and whoever is selected on sunday, if england are successful again, southgate will have to change his style of celebration. england have gone to great lengths here on the golf of the england training base to maximise their privacy and our security so this will be a embarrassment to the fa but whoever england select to play panama on sunday it should be enough to see them through. that is england, the world cup of course continues, results in the last hour, france beating peru which means they are through and through go home. australia and denmark drew a day earlier also in group c. the big match this evening lean on message's argentina versus croatia. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. tempera
