PITCH access has been banned from the Azteca Stadium currently due to a thunder storm breaking out.
Thunder, lightning and then extremely heavy rain began in the vicinity of the iconic venue, where England play Mexico tonight, about three and a half hours before kick-off.

Electrical storm protocol means no one is permitted access to the pitch at the moment for safety reasons.
It is set to remain in place until the weather improves.
The media have been told to stay inside the media centre due to the conditions.
