BBC's complete line-up of commentators, pundits and presenters for Ivory Coast vs Norway

Live from 6pm, Ivory Coast take on Norway in one of the tighter fixtures in this last-32 round of the World Cup.

The presenter for this one is Gabby Logan, who has been one of the Beeb's three main anchors since the departure of Gary Lineker last summer.

There's plenty of talent in the studio with Gabby, too – with one of Match of the Day's biggest names, Wayne Rooney, sitting next to her.

Rooney is there to dissect the likes of Erling Haaland and Yan Diomande, and as England's all-time scorer until Harry Kane broke his record, he knows a thing or two about finishers.

Benni McCarthy certainly does, too – and as an African football legend, he's played against and analysed Ivory Coast plenty.

Steph Houghton, meanwhile, is one of England's most-capped footballers and has represented Great Britain at the Olympic Games.

Murphy played for England nine times, scoring once, and has since carved out a solid career with the BBC.
