The round of 32 continues to heat up this evening as Thomas Tuchel's England return to centre stage against one of the World Cup's surprise packages - D.R Congo. That is followed by fascinating clashes between Belgium and Senegal, and the co-hosts USA vs Bosnia & Herzegovina. It is not a day to miss!

Today's matches:

England vs D.R Congo - 18:00 CET

Belgium vs Senegal - 22:00 CET

USA vs Bosnia & Herzegovina

Key updates:

14:05 CET - With just a few hours before the England vs D.R Congo match, why not check out a couple of features on England full-back Djed Spence (who is likely to start this evening) and Congo star striker Yoane Wissa.

13:00 CET - Good afternoon! The last-32 continues this Wednesday with three matches and plenty of intrigue in each game. 

First up, England will look to find their feet as an attacking side again after struggling to break down the low blocks of Ghana and Panama following their impressive dismantling of Croatia.

However, they will be up against a D.R. Congo side that have made a name for themselves in this World Cup for their quality on the counter-attack and organisation out of possession and in a low block set-up. 

Therefore, it goes without saying that Thomas Tuchel's side will have to bring more creativity if they want to produce a statement performance in a similar vein to France last night.
