A draw means Austria finish #2 and we'll know if that's good enough for Algeria by that point.

What third-place teams that aren't playing need:
Scotland:
Uzbekistan win by three goals or less or a draw. AND
Croatia loss by three goals. AND
Algeria loss by two goals OR Austria loss by 4 goals.

South Korea: Two of three events of
Uzbekistan win by two goals or less or a draw
Croatia loss
Algeria loss OR Austria loss by three goals

Iran: Any of these
Uzbekistan win by six goals or less or a draw
Croatia loss
Any non-draw between Austria and Algeria.
 
Croatia score and go atop the group for the moment.
England rotated an awful lot for a game they really need to win.

Finish second and it would be England vs Portugal in R32.
 
PAN 0 - 2 ENG
