    Eugenie Le Sonner is not shy of a long-range hit. With good reason.

    The France playmaker chances her left peg from fully 30 yards and thuds just wide and into the advertising hoardings.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 19:30 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    A change for France as Elodie Thomis - who has been kept quiet by England - is replaced by Kenza Dali.

    Neale: Ouch, what a shame they didn't take the opportunity to trial video playbacks here - that high elbow was outrageous.

    Heather Bancroft: Should have been a red there for France.

    "That's terrible. That's naughty. Camille Abily is going up with her elbow. If the referee had seen that...Laura Bassett is a tough cookie though and she was straight back up. But she will have noted her shirt number!"

    England's two centre-backs are both laid out flat.

    First Laura Bassett is flattened by a stray arm from Camille Abily, before Steph Houghton gets the worse of an accidental clash of heads.

    On the plus side a prone Houghton blocks a shot from Louisa Necib that could have well been sneaking in.

    Both England defenders are up and running.

    "First visible sign of frustration from Mark Sampson as Eni Aluko is hussled off the ball by Elodie Thomis. Fran Kirby on for Alex Scott now, meaning Lucy Bronze will head back to right-back. Thomis will have more space to operate now."

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 19:26 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    Mark Sampson has just shaken up the snow globe.

    Off comes Alex Scott and on comes free-scoring Fran Kirby.

    He wants a goal and at least a point here.

    JavelBleach: Good build up, then tamely passed it to the French defence.

    Mike Heal: Not sure about all the negativity towards England. Playing well in spells and taking the game to arguably the competition favourites.

    Denise Evans: What's with all the EngLAN women bashing? They had a poor FIRST half but the men have had a poor decade. Much better second half.

    Louisa Necib strokes a lovely delivery into the penalty area from the free-kick given away by Katie Chapman and her teasing delivery only just eludes the towering figure of Wendy Renard, who has strolled up from the back for France.

    Katie Chapman has a little nip at the heels of Eugenie Le Sommer as she gets caught the wrong side of the France attacker and is the first name in the book.

    ThatFootballWebsite: A potential easier route to the latter stages for the team that finishes second in Group F might suit England better anyway.

    David Broome: England could improve tactically, maybe try passing the ball to their own team instead of the French and see if that helps?

    France are plotting around the edge of the penalty area, but England are holding a strong line on the 18-yard box.

    Claire Rafferty at left-back will be lucky not to get patted down on the way out of the stadium because she has clearly had Elodie Thomis in her pocket for most of the game so far.

    "More ambition from England in this half, Toni Duggan came on for England in their second group game of Euro 2013 and made an impact with a goal."

    "It is great to see Toni Duggan coming on. She has been a prolific goalscorer and has amazing energy. She brings a lot to the team and will need discipline. Duggan needs to stay switched on for the set pieces.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 19:18 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    The first change by England and Toni Duggan will get a run-out, coming on to give Eni Aluko more support in attack than Ellen White - the player departing - could offer.

    "That's a really clever ball in by Eniola Aluko. It's a good run by Jill - that's where England can get a goal.

    "I'm really pleased to see Toni Duggan come on. She can create things and score goals."

    Not saying a whole lot, but that is England's best chance yet.

    Jill Scott makes a clever run, darting to the near post to meet Eni Aluko's corner. She connects with the ball at an awkward height with a clever side-foot volley, but it lacks power and she can only direct it straight at the France goalkeeper.

    Scott has injured herself in the process but after treatment is able to carry on.

    Nice play from France again and unsurprisingly Eugenie Le Sommer is at the centre of it.

    The France goalscorer fires just over the top, taking on a snap volley from Jessica Houara's incisive ball in. Over the top but not by much and it was really travelling. Steph Houghton had left her in too much space.

    Stephen: More chance of me playing for England ladies than them winning World Cup.
