Hello and welcome to our LIVE text and social media commentary as Cameroon take on Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations final. Team news to follow shortly.

Djoum held by Hamed and it’s a free kick to Cameroon but deep in their own half. Cagey stuff.

Not much to write home about yet. Just that early chance for El Said. Bassogog has a go but it’s well over the bar.

Both teams have been involved in tense penalty shoot outs already this tournament. If could come down to that again tonight.

Elneny was a doubt for this final but has made it for his 51st cap. Salah makes another good run but can’t quite latch onto it before it goes out for a goal kick.

A late challenge from Fai and Egypt win a free kick. It comes off Oyongo and out for a throw. Egypt pressing more than usual early on.

A bit of a cagey spell after that early Egypt chance. Bassogog sets Siani and his shot is easily fielded by El Hadary.

Bit early to say that Egypt are going for it from the outset but would be delighted if they were and open this final up.

SAVE! Salah plays in El Said and it takes a great save from Ondoa to grab the ball. Destined for the far corner.

Egypt setting up 4-3-3, Cameroon likewise. Cameroon chasing a fifth title. Will Egypt sit back and adopt their successful counter attacking style?

KICK-OFF: The referee blows the whistle to get us underway here. Could be a tight affair. Always seems to be when Egypt are involved.

FIVE MINUTES TO KICK-OFF: The teams are in the tunnel and making their way onto the pitch. Not long to go until this final gets underway. Egypt chasing an eighth title.

A reminder of tonight's teams.

The third place play-off has already been decided.

Seven-time winners Egypt are attempting to win the fourth consecutive Africa Cup of Nations in which they have competed, the match a repeat of the 2008 final which Egypt won.

Hugo Broos (via BBC): "In the 29 years I've been a coach I've never worked with a group like this. It's a fantastic group of players both on and off the field and they deserve the final. We've shown from the start that we are getting better but it's still a dream that we've got to the final."
