    Have that! Eni Aluko's volley flashes past Nicola Davies before she even has a chance to twitch in the Wales goal.

    Aluko controlled a throw-in on her chest out on the angle, 15 yards from goal, and her next touch is a lashed volley that gives the goalkeeper no chance.

    A stunner of a strike.

    A little under 10 minutes to the break and England are probing around the Wales penalty area but have been frustrated by a sheer weight of number in the red-shirted defence.

    Ennie Aluko's pace looks the likeliest route to a second. She is mobbed by defenders every time she picks up the ball though.

    There is crowd of 7,935 in the house for Hull's visit.

    It is short of capacity but the fact that the standing areas are ruled out of bounds for Uefa matches has meant that that was always going to be the case.

    The goal is gaping for Yannick Sagbo but the Hull striker's scruffy effort lacks the legs to make the six-yard trip to the back of the net and is hacked clear by a covering defender.

    It should really be 1-0.

  5. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 19:37 British Summer Time 21 August 2014

    England are still enjoying more of the ball and they are looking dangerous when they come forward. Arsenal's Jordan Nobbs clips the bar with a careful, curling side-foot in their best chance of a second.

    "Karen Carney's goal seems to have sprung the crowd into life. Up until her strike there had been no songs or chants apart from the two national anthems, despite the best efforts of an enthusiastic England fan a couple of rows down from the press box."

    Birmingham midfielder Karen Carney's swirling free-kick commits both the Wales goalkeeper and Eniola Aluko. Neither get a touch and the ball continues on into the far corner. England have the lead. They need only a point to make the final remember.

    In the words of manager Steve Bruce, Hull had to "dig deep" even to get to the play-offs. After a goalless first leg in Slovakia, Trecin took the lead after two minutes of the second leg of their qualifying tie at the KC Stadium.

    It was not until 10 minutes from time that Sone Aluko scored the decisive goal in a 2-1 win.

    "Difficult to see from the press box whether England's manager Mark Sampson was singing either anthem just before kick-off. The Welshman and Cardiff City fan intends to do the country of his birth no favours tonight, as he seeks to guide England to the point they need to qualify for Canada 2015."
