    Chelsea are showing great poise in the early minutes of the second-half, back-tracking comfortably in defence and knocking the ball around with confidence.

    They will make Notts County work as they chase this game.

    BBC Sport's Tom Garry at Wembley: "The Notts County players had a lengthy huddle there on the pitch before the re-start. They need to find some inspiration in this second half."

    Alex Greenwood wrestles possession in the middle of the park for Notts County under pressure from Gemma Davison.

    A pass down the left frees up Ellen White, but the England striker can only get a tame deflected cross into the box.

    And just as we go on about being suited and booted for the final, Notts County manager Rick Passmoor presents himself in a tracksuit pitch side.

    I do believe that means it's business time!

    England and Manchester City defender Lucy Bronze on BBC One: "As the game went on, Chelsea opened space for Eni Aluko and it was always going to be one of the front three who scored. But they are more aware of the attacking threat from Notts County, now."

    The teams are coming back onto the pitch with Chelsea leading the way. Plenty of intent in the eyes of Eniola Aluko and steely determination from Ji So-Yun.

    Notts County gather in a huddle. Captain Laura Bassett will deliver what she hopes to he the last powerful words before we get back underway.

  7. Suit uppublished at 16:00 British Summer Time 1 August 2015

    Rick Passmoor is your tracksuit manager in every sense of the word, hands-on, committed, hard working.

    He is not a man that is ever lost for words and he will have to be at his loquacious best as Notts County look to turn this around.

    Already today - and thanks to his mother up in Doncaster - we have seen a different side of Passmoor as he is suited and booted for the final.

    Before the final Passmoor told BBC Sport: "It's been dry-cleaned by my mother. I went around there and and she said 'what do I owe the honour for?'

    "So there you go, the suit will be worn. I would prefer to be in the tracksuit on pitch-side but the occasion deserves the suit.

    "The players deserve everything in terms of what this FA Cup is all about and what we want to ensure for the city of Nottingham, our supporters and in particular Ray Trew (chairman) and Luke Negus-Hill (CEO) who have backed us all the way, is to have a sense of pride of having Notts County Ladies on the hallowed turf. Let's make sure we bring that cup back."

    Wembley and the glory of FA Cup have inspired children, players, coaches and managers for generations.

    Chelsea boss Emma Hayes told BBC London 94.9 this week that she dreamed of being Glenn Hoddle leading Tottenham out at Wembley when she was growing up.

    With the national stadium today hosting its first Women's FA Cup final, just how many youngsters, boys and girls, are going to want to emulate Hayes?

    Her Chelsea side are up here at half-time. Will see experience Wembley success like Hoddle did before her?

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 British Summer Time 1 August 2015

    BBC Sport's Tom Garry at Wembley: "After a slightly tentative start, Chelsea are into their stride now in this final and the star of the show really has been Eniola Aluko.

    "The England striker was brilliant for a 10-minute spell and that has been the difference between the teams so far.

    "Notts County need a big half-time team talk from boss Rick Passmoor now."

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 1 August 2015

    Ji So-Yun's has the honour of netting the first Women's FA Cup goal at Wembley Stadium.

    Her scrambled finish for Chelsea is all that separates these two sides.

    Notts County have 45 minutes to try deny Chelsea Ladies their first major piece of silverware and instead take it for themselves.

    Time and time again Gemma Davison is breaking down the right wing and asking major questions of this Notts County defence.

    Hannah Blundell swings the ball into the box and Drew Spence tries something a little spectacular with a half-hearted overhead that trickles out of play.

    "You can ask if it's luck that it lands at your feet or say it's that you're a clever instinctive player. I think it's more the latter."

  14. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:45 British Summer Time 1 August 2015

    Chelsea captain Katie Chapman is the first to go into the book.

    Casual as you like, she stopped Dani Buet from getting away. Tactical foul, but not the best timing as she will have to be careful after the break.

    "It's been all Chelsea this last 10 minutes and no question, the goal was going to come on that left hand side. Notts County need to regroup because they've been on the back foot for the past few minutes."

    In a flurry of activity, Gemma Davison goes close with a volley from a tight angle.

    And just as it looked like a major chance had gone begging, Chelsea take the lead through Ji So-Yun, who pokes the ball over the line after initially being stopped by Notts County goalkeeper Carly Telford.

    The architect of Chelsea's surge into the lead has been Eniola Aluko.

    Eniola Aluko gets her foot well and truly behind that one.

    The England striker did well to make space and got plenty of power on the shot, but it was straight at Carly Telford in Notts County's goal.

    BBC Sport's Tom Garry at Wembley: "That was a brilliant ball forward from Gemma Davison and Eni Aluko almost took full advantage. That's an example of the threat Chelsea pose going forward.

    "Notts, after a promising start, have gone a little quiet. Can they get England striker Ellen White into the game more?"

    Hedvig Lindahl strolls out to the edge of her area to meet a clearance from Notts County.

    That would just about sum up all the Chelsea goalkeeper has had to do so far. The Magpies, while willing to be patient with their build up, are yet to rattle Chelsea's nerves.

    That will go down as the first real chance of the game.

    Eniola Aluko's pace is enough to meet a Gemma Davison pass and to get around Notts County goalkeeper Carly Telford. But the ball runs long and is fired into the side netting from a tight angle on the left.
