California plays host to the World Cup group stage's graveyard shift fixture for the second night in succession. Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium is where Austria will end their 28-year hiatus from the World Cup. Meanwhile, Jordan will make their bow on the global stage in what is a 9pm kick-off local time.

The game is being shown on BBC One, for all of you on the nightshift, doing newborn feeds, and ultra-marathon training, presumably. No idea why you'd be up at 5am for any other reason.

But, who's calling the game? Here is all the information you need to know about Austria vs Jordan pundits, commentators and presenters.

Coverage in the UK begins on BBC One at 4:50am, just ten minutes ahead of kick-off.

There was no studio presence on the BBC ahead of the game as a result, with the BBC instead throwing straight to commentators Robyn Cowen and Andy Reid for the game.

Irish midfielder Andy Reid enjoyed a decent professional career, renowned for his technical ability and left foot.

He made over 100 appearances for Nottingham Forest and played in the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland, earning 29 international caps for the Republic of Ireland.

After retiring, Reid has transitioned into the media world, working as a football broadcaster, analyst, and co-commentator for networks like BBC Radio 5 Live and Sky Sports.
