91'
89'
PARAGUAY SUB: Da Silva comes on to replace Caniza.
88'
87'
Poor old T&T; they have played wonderfully well tonight and given it their all, but are going to be on the end of a defeat.
86'
85'
Paraguay will be desperate to take the heat out of the game in the final five minutes; they have been bombarded since the break.
84'
83'
Good news for T&T from Cologne; England have re-taken the lead. If T&T can score three in the last seven minutes, they're through...
82'
It has been a wonderful second half by T&T; they have thrown all they have at Paraguay, and never let their heads drop.
81'
80'
79'
PARAGUAY SUB: Caceres is replaced by Manzur; the substitute has the nicknamed 'Robocop', apparently.
78'
77'
Edwards makes a superb challenge just outside his penalty area; he has been immense down the right for T&T.
76'
75'
Wise does wonderfully to beat two men with a forceful run down the left, but his cross lacks composure and is over-hit.
74'
T&T are strill driving forward in numbers, but they just can't create the clean-cut chances they need. I think they deserve to score; they have been excellent tonight.
73'
72'
GOOD EFFORT! Birchall takes a half-clearance on his chest before firing in a right-foot shot, but he strikes it over the bar. He looks very disappointed with himself.
71'
Birchall is still giving it his all in the midfield for T&T; he has had a really good game this evening.
70'
69'
Yorke's free-kick is well defended inside the Paraguay penalty area.
68'
Latapy received an enormous cheer when he came on to the field for a sentimental final appearance for his country.
67'
T&T SUB: Latapy comes on to replace Whitley; the 37-year-old veteran comes on for the final twenty minutes or so.
66'
PARAGUAY SUB: Cuevas comes on to replace Valdez.
66'
T&T enjoy an excellent spell of possession and pressure as they load crosses in to the Paraguay penalty area.
65'
64'
Jack has been forced in to seven saves so far this evening, and he has looked solid on all of them.
63'
62'
61'
T&T have now gone four hours in this World Cup without scoring a goal; they need at least one more in the final half-an-hour to keep their dream alive.
60'
OFF-SIDE! Stern John is caught off-side inside the penalty area; replays show he had just strayed in front of the last defender.
59'
Paraguay produce a flowing move from right to left, but Edwards does really well to get back and snuff out the danger just outside his penalty area.
58'
Dos Santos wins a corner off Sancho; Paredes gets round the back and loses his marker, but can't keep his header down.
57'
A rareity in international football - a foul throw, from Whitley.
56'
56'
Yorke is getting forward a lot more than he did in the first half, when he basically just sat in front of his back four.
55'
Dos Santos is booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle had gone; that was a little picky from the referee.
54'
A lot of the neutrals in the crowd would love to see T&T get an equaliser to really set up an interesting half-hour; can the Soca Warriors manage it?
53'
Paraguay seem to have soaked up that spell of pressure from T&T; they have managed to slow the pace down again.
52'
Trinidad and Tobago are having a real go at the start of this second half; it is good to see they are keeping their spirits up.
51'
50'
Bad news from Cologne for T&T; Sweden have equalised...
49'
Whitley is shown the yellow card for a studs-up challenge on the half-way line.
48'
48'
Sancho is penalised for holding off Valdez, 40 yards out. Free-kick to Paraguay.
47'
T&T have to win if they are to progress; it should be a barn-storming second half.
46'
Paraguay kick off the second half.
46'
45'
44'
As a South American nation, Paraguay will be masters at taking the pace out of the game and keeping possession as the game wears on.
43'
Birchall and Yorke have been excellent in midfield for T&T; they have snapped around the heels of the Paraguayans and quickly launched counter-attacks of their own.
42'
41'
T&T have a mountain to climb in the second half, but I'm sure they'll give it all they have got.
40'
T&T SUB: Glen is replaced by Wise; the substitute is a pacey, tricky left-winger; Glen receives a warm round of applause as he is stretchered from the field.
39'
Glen is writhing around in agony as he is strapped on to the stretcher; replays show he turned his ankle quite badly.
38'
Glen looks hurt after a sliding challenge by Gamarra; he seemed to fall badly on his left leg. He might even have broken his ankle, there. Poor lad.
37'
36'
36'
35'
Kelvin Jack has looked strong in the T&T goal; he has commanded his defence well.
34'
The substitute Jones has gone up to play alongside Stern John; he is a strong, tall striker, and will certainly be a threat in the air.
33'
It would be easy for T&T to let their heads drop, but an equaliser would really give them confidence to push on in the second half.
32'
News from Cologne will boost T&T - England have taken the lead...
31'
T&T SUB: Avery John is replaced by Jones; it is a bold, attacking change, who brings off his left back for another striker.
30'
Yorke is brought down by Paredes, who is booked for the challenge. Free-kick to T&T, around 35 yards out. Yorke gets to his feet and places the ball...
29'
John is caught off-side as he tried to get on the end of a superb ball over the top of the defence by Yorke.
28'
It's going to be tough for T&T now; they need to win this match to have any chance of going through, but they are going to leave themselves open at the back as they chase the game.
27'
Paraguay have come back strongly after a good spell from T&T; they look very threatening when they do get the chance to go forward.
26'
Disappointing moment for Sancho as he heads past his own goalkeeper to send Paraguay in front.
25'
24'
Acuna curls a free-kick in to the middle...
23'
Valdez heads Paredes' cross wide from around the penalty spot; he should really have tested Jack from there.
22'
21'
Paraguay have picked up a few knocks in these early minutes; this time Barreto takes a blow to the face.
20'
Edwards goes on a thrusting run down the right as T&T break from inside their own half. Good play from the Luton Town player.
19'
T&T are playing for a match against Germany in the second round; they know there is a lot riding on this match.
18'
Paraguay have been pinned back in their own half in the first twenty minutes; their attacks have been infrequent.
17'
...Yorke dips the free-kick in towards the back post, but Bobadilla charges out and powers the ball out for a throw with a commanding punch.
16'
Another free-kick to T&T as Acuna climbs on Whitley. Yorke has another opportunity to send a dangerous ball in to the penalty area...
15'
Valdez is helped from the field after he received a knock on his foot during a challenge with Yorke.
14'
Edwards' cross is cleared by Acuna; the Paraguayans are under a little pressure.
13'
T&T will be pleased with the start they've made; they look determined and committed in midfield, and they are winning a lot of ball in good positions.
12'
12'
Caniza goes in strongly from behind on Theobold; T&T free-kick, 35 yards out. Again, Yorke stands over the set-piece, directing operations...
11'
The Soca Warriors appear to have more fans inside the stadium than their South American counterparts; there are a lot of flags and banners in their support.
10'
Paraguay look to be showing a little more ambition than they did in the first two matches; they are getting men quickly up to support Santa Cruz.
9'
9'
Nice play by Dos Santos as he cuts in from the right flank to start a Paraguay counter-attack.
8'
T&T will be keeping an eye on the score from the England v Sweden game; if England are leading, it will surely spur on the Soca Warriors.
7'
OOH! Whitley gets on the end of a half-cleared free-kick; he fires a wonderful first-time shot from the edge of the area, but his effort whistles over the crossbar.
6'
It has been a really bright start here; both sides want to finish the tournament on a positive note, which is great to see.
5'
5'
T&T win their first free-kick when Glenn is brought down. Yorke stands over the set-piece...
4'
another Paraguay corner is sent in to the crowded T&T penalty area, but Paredes heads well wide.
4'
There is a wonderful atmosphere inside the Fritz-Walter Stadion this evening; both sets of fans want to go out with a bang.
3'
2'
Trinidad can still qualify for the second round, if they win here and Sweden are beaten by England. It will then go down to goal difference.
