55'

Zambia make their second change as Chansa makes way for Mukuka Mulenga.

54'

It's also led to more physical exchanges that don't rely so much on the ball's movement, which has made for decent viewing when not stop-start with constant fouls.

53'

The players look a lot more settled on the sandy conditions now and have adapted their passes well.

52'

Good energetic run down the right by Mayuka but his low cross doesn't have the same zeal behind it, and is comfortably cleared by the defence.

50'

Kone gets a head to it, but there are bodies in his path and the effort is blocked in short order.

49'

Corner now for Faso as Sunzu is unable to keep the ball in play on the right.

48'

Mbesuma tries to force an error as Burkina play the ball backwards, but only gives away a free-kick.

47'

Early free-kick for Faso 30 yards out and central but it's merely another for Bance to send against the wall.

46'

And Burkina kick off the second half. Ethiopia-Nigeria resumed moments earlier.

Wilfred Dah comes on for Balima in a half-time change for Burkina Faso.

45+3'

Flag kick is cleared and half-time sounds. It's 0-0 here and also between Ethiopia and Nigeria at the halfway mark.

45+2'

We enter a third minute anyway as Koulibaly concedes a late Zambia corner.

45+1'

Two minutes added on, which is quite concise considering the two injury subs.

45'

Lungu tries his luck with a ball in from the left now... Burkina leave it to go out for a goal kick but Kalaba is there at the far post! Header saved by Diakite! Almost suicidal defending from Faso there.

44'

Mbola launches a dangerous cross from the left which Diakite does very well to catch ahead of the lurking Mbesuma.

43'

A nice overhead kick clearance from Bance as he comes back to help Burkina deal with a Zambia attack.

42'

Mweene claims a deep Kabore cross.

40'

Mayuka has cut a frustrated figure since being booked and again vents after being flagged offside. He really doesn't want to do something silly here and leave the champs one man short...

39'

Sinkala is clutching his elbow after a shoulder to shoulder challenge, but should be fine to carry on. Famous last words once already from yours truly, I know...

38'

It was just outside the area and replays show that there indeed was zero contact.

37'

Mayuka bursts forward but goes down immediately after, claiming contact from Panadnetguiri... the referee is having none of it and books the Southampton man!
