  1. England 0-0 Bosnia

    The players grab a drink while Bosnia keeper Almina Hodzic receives treatment after clashing heads with her own defender.

    The England women gather for a quick tactical discussion. They'll no doubt be frustrated with their missed chances so far.

  2. England 0-0 Bosnia

    Another whipped ball in, but another miss from England.

    Defender Steph Houghton heads towards Eni Aluko and the striker nods it high and just over the bar.

  3. England's corner chats not working

    England players seem to have a little meeting before each corner. It might be a tactic. But I think it’s actually slowing play down and giving Bosnia a breather when you don’t want them to.

  4. England 0-0 Bosnia

    A rare attacking run from Bosnia forward Lidija Kulis sees England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley finally touch the ball. 

    She must be freezing up there with not much to do.

  5. England 0-0 Bosnia

    Mark Sampson is gesturing to his players from the Ashton Gate sidelines. 

    I'm no sign language expert, but it looks like he's saying get wide and/or forward.

    Insight, right there. 

  7. 'Aluko should have done better'

    Good play by England, Jordan Nobbs whips the ball in and Eni Aluko – good run but should have done better with the finish. That’s what you want from your striker, that instinct, but then it’s just the finish at the end.

  8. England 0-0 Bosnia

    Jordan NobbsRex Features

    Close for England, and Jordan Nobbs is involved again.

    The Lionesses' midfielder hooks the ball in across the area and striker Eni Aluko tries to slide it home, but it goes just wide.

  9. 'England need creative set-pieces'

    We saw in the World Cup Mark Sampson’s know-how at set-pieces but they haven't’ shown it here so far. They’re just putting it in long but Bosnia have everybody back. When I was playing in games like this everyone would condense so much because they wanted the ball.

  10. England 0-0 Bosnia

    Bosnia have 10 players behind the ball and are proving to be a bit of a brick wall for England so far.

    Midfielder Izzy Christiansen whips in a wind-assisted corner but Almina Hodzic gathers well. The Bosnia keeper has been impressive so far.

  11. 'No point in hitting it long'

    Alistair Magowan
    BBC Sport at Ashton Gate

    "Lively start by England and the fans are lapping up every step over and trick that the hosts are trying, Gemma Davison especially. No point in hitting it long, it'll just run out of play via the gale that is blowing England's way."

  12. 'England must stay calm'

    Sue Smith

    England need to make sure they stay patient and calm and keep sticking to Mark Sampson’s gameplan.

  13. Get Involved

  14. England 0-0 Bosnia

    Midfielder Jess Clarke has a crack as well, with a curling effort from the outside of her boot, but it's saved. 

    England are firmly in control so far.

  15. England 0-0 Bosnia

    Sue Smith
    Former England forward on BBC Two

    I’ve got no idea how that didn’t go in. But what a strike from Jordan Nobbs. I think the keeper just tipped it onto the bar. That’s a really good save.

  16. England 0-0 Bosnia

    So close. 

    Jordan Nobbs hits a sweet, sweet lob and it goes crashing onto the cross bar as  goalkeeper Almina Hodzic gets the slightest touch, and the danger is eventually cleared.

  17. 'Bosnia have come here to defend'

    England 0-0 Bosnia

    Sue Smith
    Former England forward on BBC Two

    Casey Stoney is such an experienced player. Technically she's so good on the ball. I’m so pleased for her that she’s starting. She deserves it. Bosnia are still a step behind England - they've come here to defend and try to limit the amount of goals England score.

  18. England 0-0 Bosnia

    Eni Aluko is making a menace of herself in the Bosnia box.

    The England forward tries to latch onto the end of Izzy Christiansen's corner and when it's recycled from the other side of the penalty area, Aluko tries again to flick it past the keeper. 

  19. Scotland 4-0 Macedonia

    You suspect it's game over in in Paisley. Jenny Beattie and Hayley Lauder have put Scotland out of sight within half an hour.

    BBC Scotland's Eilidh Barbour: "Very disciplined opening half hour from Scotland to take a 4-0 lead. Moving the ball too quickly for their opponents."    

    Watch that game here.

  20. England 0-0 Bosnia

    The hosts are knocking the ball about well, trying to play from the back, but it gets a bit scrappy and crowded when England go on the attack.

    Bosnia are expected to play very deep today, and be very physical. 

    A corner is whipped in and captain Casey Stoney is clattered.
