England's World Cup round of 16 match against Mexico is set to be brought forward, following warnings of a thunderstorm in Mexico City.
The match, which was originally due to be kicked off at 01:00 BST on Monday 6th July, now looks set to kick off at 19:00 BST.
FIFA are understood to be bringing the match - which will be played at the Azteca, Mexico City - forward to avoid predicted storms and heavy rain in the region.

While forecasts predict thunderstorms and extremely heavy rain, FIFA are yet to give an official explanation for the change.
Under the World Cup, rules, matches are automatically delayed by 30 minutes if lightning strikes are detected within eight miles of the stadium.
This rule has been implemented once so far in the tournament, with France's group stage match against Iraq being delayed for over two hours.
FIFA's regulations state that they have the right to "cancel, reschedule or relocate" matches "at its sole discretion", which appears to be in use here.
Although the match does look set to kick off at the earlier time, reports suggest that FIFA are in talks with both side's governing bodies, with no new time officially announced as of yet.
Despite this, reports suggest that it is extremely likely to take place at the aformentioned 19:00 BST, in what would be a popular change for fans in England , though England coaches and players may not be particularly happy with this, given that the match will now take place at 13:00 local time in the soaring heat.
