Japan 1-0 England
England work it well down the left and tee up Claire Rafferty takes a strike from 25 yards, it's on her wrong foot though and she swings it well over the top. England win a corner though, they're well in this...

Lucy Bronze wins a throw-in high up the pitch and Japan don't look comfortable with set-pieces. Toni Duggan almost gets a shot off but she is well closed down. England look a threat.

Aya Miyami is a quality player, she was so long waiting to take the penalty and I thought this is Karen Bardsley’s but she sent her the wrong way - that’s confidence for you.

That is hugely disappointing for England. There had not been much between the two teams but England need to quickly respond.

Soft. that's what that penalty decision was. England don't need to panic, there's all sorts of time left.

It’s a good run from Saori Ariyoshi and she gets the wrong side of Claire Rafferty, she does have two arms on her back, and when you do that the referee is going to give a penalty isn’t she?

Japan captain Aya Miyami takes an age, a stuttering run-up, but she eventually steps up and steers into the bottom corner. England with it all to do now, Japan don't concede many.

It starts outside the box. With her momentum she will fall into the box. It was untidy from Claire Rafferty.

England are nearly as big as lies you've told your parents. That is legacy.

The difference between England's performance today and in other games is that the long balls forward are not just aimless, they are thinking about the pass and trying to keep possession.

Well played Toni Duggan. She collects a throw on the left, turns inside and wriggles past two defenders to get a cross in but it's well cut out by goalkeeper Ayumi Kaihori.
Jill Scott then crosses for Duggan but Dugs leans back and fires her volley well over. Difficult take, she was 15 yards out and the ball was coming from a height, it needed a Mark Hughes style scissor kick. That was more Merv Hughes.

Nothing wrong with the ball over the top, if it works. Japan have clearly got the edge on keeping possession but England loo to have the physical edge. Jill Scott holds off two defenders easily down the right to illustrate my point.

It was just a snap-shot and Toni Duggan has the ability to do that and we have seen it in the Women’s Super League.

Mark Sampson applauding energetically as Japan goalkeeper Ayumi Kaihori lumps the ball out of play following a spell of pressing form his players. The pattern of game is set now, England will be without the ball for long periods.

England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley always gives you a chance, and she misjudges a long ball forward and is relieved to see the ball bounce over her and over the vacant goal too. She was rescued by an offside flag but that was not very convincing...
Fans still arriving at the ground as Toni Duggan swivels to strike over the bar from a tight angle. Not afraid to have a dig, is Dugs.
