Host nation:<\/strong> Qatar <\/span>Dates: <\/strong>20 November-18 December <\/span>Coverage: <\/strong>Live on BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app. <\/span>Day-by-day TV listings<\/span><\/a> – <\/span>Full coverage details<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

It was a day of frustration for England and Wales at the World Cup in Qatar – but both teams still have a chance of qualifying for the knockout stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

That meant England could have sealed their place in the next round with a win against the USA, but could only <\/span>labour to a goalless draw.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The two teams now meet in their final group game on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wales slip to deserved defeat<\/h3>\n

Wales<\/span><\/a> looked to be hanging on to a battling point as the game ticked over into added time but two late goals from Roozbeh Cheshmi and Ramin Rezaeian earned victory for Iran, who were thrashed 6-2 by England in their opening match.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their task had been made harder when goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was sent off with four minutes of normal time remaining, following a video assistant referee (VAR) check, for a reckless challenge on Iran forward Medhi Taremi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Iran had earlier seen a first-half goal disallowed for offside, before hitting the post twice in a matter of seconds early in the second period.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wales manager Rob Page had no complaints with the result, describing the performance as “nowhere near the levels we’ve set”.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added: “When there are so many off days, there is only one outcome. It’s a difficult changing room at the minute, but we will be ready [against England].”<\/span><\/p>\n

To qualify, Wales must now beat England on Tuesday and hope for a draw between the United States and Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sluggish England do just enough for point<\/h3>\n

Captain Harry Kane had England’s best chance but his late header went wide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That result put <\/span>England<\/span><\/a> in control of Group B and they knew they would qualify with a game to spare if they beat USA in Friday’s evening game.<\/span><\/p>\n

But they put in a sluggish display and were second best to their opponents for long periods at the Al Bayt Stadium in Doha.<\/span><\/p>\n

The USA had the better chances, midfielder Weston McKennie missed an easy opening and forward Christian Pulisic hitting the bar in the first half.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the disappointing result England remain firm favourites to qualify for the knockout stage, knowing they only need to avoid a four-goal defeat against Wales to progress, with the top two sides in the group going through.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The players are a bit down but I said I’m not down, I am not unhappy. It is a game you can lose if your mentality is not right,” said England manager Southgate.<\/span><\/p>\n
