We present an update of our study of the phase diagram of two-flavour QCD at zero baryon density with dynamical $O(a)$ improved Wilson quarks. All simulations are done on lattices with a temporal extent of $N_t=16$ and spatial extent $L=32,48$ and 64, ensuring that discretisation effects are small and finite size effects can be controlled. In the approach to the chiral limit we currently have three scans with pion masses between 540 and 200 MeV. In this proceedings article the focus is on the new scan at $m_\pi=200$ MeV and the measurement of screening masses. We also present first results concerning a test of scaling in the approach to the chiral limit and the chiral extrapolation of the difference of screening masses in scalar and pseudoscalar channels, which provides a measure for the strength of the anomalous breaking of the $U_A(1)$ symmetry.
