More England news for you here but it's away from the game in Milton Keynes.

Injured Manchester City and England striker Toni Duggan has set her sights on playing in this summer's World Cup.

The 23-year-old underwent knee surgery at the start of the month and could be out until the end of March.

Speaking at a City in the Community event at Manchester City's training ground, Duggan told BBC Sport: "The World Cup is the biggest stage and I want to perform on it.

"But to get picked for it I have to put in the performances for Manchester City. I have to make sure my seat on the plane to Canada is guaranteed because the competition is the squad is tough."

Steph Houghton deflects a dangerous-looking cross behind for a corner with Abby Wambach lurking. The set-piece is scrambled clear and England find themselves just one behind at the break as the whistle goes.

In truth it could have been worse. The US have been by far the better team.

For probably only the third or fourth time in the game England exchange more than six passes. Every time it's played forward with intent it's intercepted though. One minute of time added on.

The away side look happy to see this one out. They're sitting back and inviting England onto them. Can they fashion a chance before the break?

The brass band strike up with 'We're on the Ball' (that World Cup song) but really England are anything but. Another wayward pass and the ball goes out for a US goal kick after a few brief, hopeful seconds of possession.

Jordan Nobbs plays a risky pass as England look to play it out from the back and the ball is back with the visitors. The pattern of play right now is basically USA possession, chance or half-chance, and then England give it away.

Ali Krieger shoots speculatively from a tight angle, but Karen Bardsley is well behind it. Five to go before half-time.

The home side appear to be allowing their US opponents as much possession of the ball as they like until they reach about halfway in the England half.

Only then do they press, but as we've seen a few times already tonight, the visitors can move the ball around very quickly indeed. Another switch of play finds Abby Wambach, who nods wide under pressure.

Abby Wambach has been relatively quiet so far but she's encouraging her team-mates to pile further and further forward in search of a second. Christen Press tries to reach the US goal machine (177 international goals) with a lofted pass but Karen Bardsley is there.

There doesn't seem to be much respite at the moment though. A reaching through ball by Carli Lloyd almost plays in Ali Krieger, but the ball runs out for a goal kick. Possession is given straight back to the visitors.

USA threaten again as Lauren Holiday whips in a free-kick that is straight at Karen Bardsley. They've got the wind in their sails now. England could do with a little spell of their own.

A lovely header from Alex Morgan - her 50th international goal flashed in from a Lauren Holiday cross. Karen Bardsley got a hand to it but it was too hot to handle. On the balance of play, it's well deserved.

The best sight of goal so far as the ball drops to Morgan Brian in the box. She takes her time before unleashing a shot which is blocked by the England defence. Pressure building from the USA.

Karen Carney can't quite reach an interception and lets in Ali Krieger down the right. Her cross is dangerous-looking but England cope well. USA back with it though.

Looking at a replay, Bardsley seemed to twist her ankle as she took a goal kick. She looks OK to carry on though, and the ball is played back to USA on the restart.

England captain Stephanie Houghton goes down under a challenge but she is soon up again. Karen Bardsley's got a problem too though. The goalkeeper is currently taking off her gloves, with the physio in attendance, but it's her ankle that appears to be the problem.

Definitely no gulf in class here though. The US look good in possession but England's defence have - so far- looked very assured, and there is danger on the break.

England are enjoying themselves more here and the crowd are getting behind them. FA chairman Greg Dyke is spotted in the stands, and just as I type these words the home side give it away from a throw-in as momentum looked to be growing.

Fran Kirby shows a lovely touch and turn to release Jodie Taylor out wide on the left but she can't find a white shirt with her cross. Jill Scott stabs the ball back into the danger area, but again there's nobody on the same wavelength.
