It is now starting to rain heavily in Bern. Update: Date: 9 mins Title: Post Content: Switzerland 0-0 Iceland Lots of noise from the home fans who are seeing their side dominate possession without being able to seriously test Iceland goalkeeper Cecilía Ran Runarsdottir. Update: Date: 20:08 BST Title: Post Content: Switzerland 0-0 Iceland Emily SalleyBBC Sport in Bern Pia Sundhage mustn't like the rain. The Switzerland boss is tucked in, as close to her team's dug-out as she can be, while Iceland boss Thorsteinn Halldorsson is embracing the wet weather on the touchline. Update: Date: 7 mins Title: Post Content: Switzerland 0-0 Iceland Remember, Iceland are out if they lose this. But the team ranked 14th in the world have made a decent start. They're showing some real attacking intent. Update: Date: 20:06 BST Title: Post Content: Switzerland 0-0 Iceland Sue SmithFormer England international on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra I'm enjoying this already. It's so open. Both sides are really going from back to front quickly. We know that's a strength of both of theirs. Update: Date: 5 mins Title: Post Content: Switzerland 0-0 Iceland A fast start by both teams. After going so close to conceding, Switzerland went up the other end and Julia Stierli fired wide. Stierli scored an own goal in the loss against Norway. Update: Date: 20:04 BST Title: Post Content: Switzerland 0-0 Iceland Emily SalleyBBC Sport in Bern It's a crackling atmosphere inside Wankdorf Stadium. And I tell you what, the Iceland fans are giving the Switzerland fans a run for their money. They're creating a lot of noise. Update: Date: 20:04 BST Title: Post Content: Switzerland 0-0 Iceland Sue SmithFormer England international on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra Oh wow, what an opportunity.

Update: Date: 1 min Title: KICK-OFF Content: Switzerland 0-0 Iceland Switzerland and Iceland shared six goals when they met in April. Will they provide us with similar entertainment in Bern? We're about to find out. Update: Date: 20:00 BST Title: Post Content: Switzerland v Iceland (20:00 BST) Now a pause for reflection following the terrible loss of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. Update: Date: 19:58 BST Title: Post Content: Switzerland v Iceland (20:00 BST) The national anthems are done and dusted. The time for talking is over. Hosts Switzerland need to deliver a result for their fans who have turned out in their tens of thousands in Bern. Update: Date: 19:56 BST Title: Get Involved Content: #bbcfootball, WhatsApp on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) Switzerland are hell bent on winning this one and I suspect a quick start from them. This is the first do or die and Iceland will have to be decisive to win. Anon Update: Date: 19:55 BST Title: Will Swiss get back on track? Content: Switzerland v Iceland (20:00 BST) Rachel Brown-FinnisEx-England goalkeeper Switzerland's defeat by Norway was a disappointing result for the hosts but I thought they were fantastic in the first half and I don't think they let their lead slip because of a lack of application or a dip in their performance. The swing in that game was more down to Norway changing their tactics and the Swiss failing to adapt. Even then, they were a bit unfortunate not to get anything from the game. If Switzerland can play with the same intensity here then, with the crowd behind them, I think they will have enough quality to get their tournament back on track. Update: Date: 19:54 BST Title: Post Content: Switzerland v Iceland (20:00 BST) Listen to that roar! It's raining in Bern but nobody cares. Switzerland desperately need a win. So too, Iceland.

One of the kiosks right outside the station is Uefa's 'Get trained, save lives' campaign which aims raise awareness of sudden cardiac arrest and teach life-saving CPR skills. Fans have been giving it a go in Bern today, taking a short course before practicing chest impressions. A really important cause.

NICO HULKENBERG joked it was 'a long time coming' as he banished an unwanted record of most starts in F1 without a podium.

Hulkenberg started the race in 19th and hadn't stood on a podium of any motorsport race since the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2015. The Sauber driver, who made his debut with Williams in 2010, choked back tears on the team radio and said: "I don't think I can comprehend what we've just done. Oh my god." He was seen embracing his team in jubilant celebrations at Parc Ferme while also sharing a hug with team-mate Gabriel Bortoleto, who had crashed out earlier on.
