Follow all the latest updates as hosts Cameroon take on Mohamed Salah’s Egypt for a place in Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations final against Senegal.

Egypt are the most successful nation in Afcon history with seven tournament victories, but they are up against a big challenge tonight as the Cameroonian side aim to deliver glory on home soil. Cameroon topped Group A before beating Comoros in the round of 16, in a game overshadowed by a fatal crush. Toni Conceicao’s side then beat Gambia 2-0 in the quarter-finals to reach the last four, and have the tournament’s two top goalscorers so far in captain Vincent Aboubakar and Lyon forward Karl Toko Ekambi.

Egypt finished second in Group D after losing their opening game to Nigeria, but Salah scored the winning penalty to see of Ivory Coast in the round of 16 and scored against as they came from behind to beat Morocco in the quarter-finals. Follow all the Afcon action below:

Full-time: Cameroon 0 - 0 Egypt

90+4 mins: There’s the final whistle and extra-time is needed to decide the second finalist of the Africa Cup of Nations. It’s Egypt’s third match in a row to go to extra-time, will they have enough in the tank to see it through to the end?

90+2 mins: Egypt’s corner is cleared at the front post bu Aboubakar. It was a poor delivery from Trezeguet and the ball rolls all the way back to Gabaski. He belts it long and the ball drops to Trezeguet. He cuts inside and drills one from outside the box. He doesn’t catch it clean and the effort goes wide.

Cameroon 0 - 0 Egypt

90 mins: Four minutes of added time to play. It looks as though Egypt are going to have to negotiate extra-time without their manager. Neither team is going to win this in stoppage time. Trezeguet breaks down the left side and wins a corner for Egypt.

87 mins: Carlos Queiroz has been veyr animated on the sidelines so much so that the referee has booked the Egyptian manager. Queiroz keeps up his verbal volley and the referee pulls out a red card!

84 mins: Changes! Egypt bring on another two substitutes as Emam Ashour and Mohanad Lasheen come on for the final five minutes or so. Mohamed Elneny and Omar Kamal are the men replaced.

For Cameroon Clinton D’Jie replaces Nicolas Moumi Ngamaleu. Will the changes have any impact in the 90 or are the managers preparing for extra-time?

Cameroon 0 - 0 Egypt

81 mins: Under 10 minutes to play in this semi-final. Strap in folks it looks as though we’re heading for extra-time. The game is opening up as both teams look to force a winning goal but neither side has created a clearcut chance for the last 15 minutes or so.

Chance! Just as I type that Cameroon sweep down the right. Anguissa manages to cut the ball back to the edge of the box under pressure from Elneny. It comes to Ekambi who lays it off to Fai. Fai dinks the ball into the box and shoots with the outside of his right foot and fires the chance straight into the arms of Gabaski.

78 mins: A long diagonal ball comes over to the right wing where Sobhi brings it down. He flicks it off to Salah as Trezeguet comes flying into the box. Salah attempts to pick him out but underhits his pass and allows Cameroon to clear their lines.

James Lea Silki comes on to replace Samuel Oum Gouet for Cameroon.

Cameroon 0 - 0 Egypt

75 mins: Cameroon still haven’t made a substitution compared to Egypt’s two. Ramadan Sobhi is on for Omar Marmoush. The hosts look a little leggy now and could use some fresh legs to regain control of the game. A goal now would surely be a winner. Will we get one or is this game heading to extra-time?

Cameroon 0 - 0 Egypt

72 mins: Chance! Anguissa goes on a run to dribble the ball into the box but loses possession as Egypt boot the ball clear. It rolls nicely to Gouet who drills on from a long way out and catches it perfectly. Gabaski is worried for a moment but manages to leap to his right and keep it out.
