1431: An anonymous texter enquires: "Where can I watch or hear the draw live?" Well, thanks for asking, anonymous texter, you can of course follow it right here. Or you can watch it on the BBC Sport website (UK users only), on BBC Interactive (that's the red button on your telly). Or you can listen to in on BBC Radio 5 Live.

1426: Fifa president Sepp Blatter gets a police escort to the Durban International Convention Centre. Very nice too. The VIPs will be treated to a Preliminary Draw Show, which features excerpts from the Lion King musical and a performances from Youssou N'Dour and the Soweto String Quartet.

1420: For those of you still unclear about who's in which pot, England and Scotland are in Pot B, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are in C while Wales are in D.

1415: TheNewDiCanio brings up an interesting point on 606 . If Italy are drawn in the same group as England, will Fabio Capello still be so keen on the England job? Likewise, what if Portugal are paired with England? That would surely rule out The Special One wouldn't it?

1411: "I would love for Scotland to be drawn in the same group as Italy. It would be nice to get a chance at some revenge."

1404: If you're not sure about all that Alan Partridge chat, I suggest you head to a well-known video sharing website and have a gander. Events in Durban are due to get under way at 1500 GMT, but you know how these things go, we could be here all day so I'm going to need your chat on 606 as well as via text on 81111 .

1400: Hello everyone. I am channelling the spirit of legendary sports presenter Alan Partridge as we look ahead to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa in Caroline Cheese's World Cup countdown to 2010. Now where's my soccermeter?
