    The danger now is that Scotland heads go down. They've been thoroughly outplayed so far. A tough lesson in the Euro limelight.

    England 4-0 Scotland

    Scotland's Lisa Evans whips in a dangerous free-kick from the left-hand side towards the far post.

    England keeper Karen Bardsley comes out to punch it away. The ball eventually finds its way back to Evans, but this time her low shot is held by the Man City and England keeper.

  7. 'Phenomenal movement'published at 56 mins

    Jodie Taylor is one the best and most intelligent movers in the game. Her movement is phenomenal, the timing of it was perfect. She was so calm with the finish.

  8. 'Crafty Taylor'published at 56 mins

    Too simple. A lovely flick on from Ellen White and the elusive Jodie Taylor finds the craftiest of finishes past the oncoming Gemma Fay. Well deserved.

    England 4-0 Scotland

    With that, Jodie Taylor becomes the first England Women player to score a hat-trick at a senior major tournament.

    A night she'll never forget.

    GOAL - England 4-0 Scotlandpublished at 53 mins

    Jodie Taylor

    Hat-trick! Jodie Taylor has three and England have four, inside an hour!

    It's a neat goal. Steph Houghton's free-kick from deep is flicked on by Ellen White and Taylor times her run perfectly and calmly lobs the keeper with a cheeky dink.

    Game over.

  12. Postpublished at 49 mins

    England 3-0 Scotland

    From the resulting corner, the ball falls to Jane Ross on the edge of the area, but her shot is deflected wide for another corner from the left for the Scots.

    From the second delivery, Man City forward Ross is on the end of it again, but England close her down quickly and remove the danger as she fires over under pressure.

  13. Postpublished at 48 mins

    England 3-0 Scotland

    Substitute Lana Clelland's first act is to do well down the left and force a Scotland corner from Steph Houghton's intervention.

    Scotland haven't been great, but you have to say that's been the most convincing performance by a team so far at Euro 2017.

  18. RECAP: France strike late to winpublished at 20:40 British Summer Time 19 July 2017

    The Women's Euros so far...

    After the Netherlands' winning start to the tournament on Sunday and Monday's draw between Sweden and holders Germany, Tuesday's games saw one of the pre-tournament favourites, France, made to work hard against a stubborn Iceland side.

    But the French eventually struck late on with a Eugenie le Sommer penalty to open their campaign with a 1-0 win.

    Elsewhere in Group C, Austria beat 10-player Switzerland 1-0, in a match which saw the competition's first red card since 2009.

  19. 'Signeul has decisions to make'published at 20:39 British Summer Time 19 July 2017

    Coach Anna Signeul will be happy Scotland have not conceded another goal. She has some decisions to make. In the second half, you do not want your team to implode, one game into the competition.

    Scotland had a 4-1-4-1 gameplan, but it leaves Jane Ross isolated. Signeul will need to bring on some fresh legs but one to 11, England are better.

  20. Will Sampson make changes?published at 20:37 British Summer Time 19 July 2017

    It will be interesting to see what England boss Mark Sampson does at half-time. Will he give the 11 starters 70 minutes or make changes?

    It has not just been about Jodie Taylor, it has been about the three in midfield. Jordan Nobbs and Jill Scott have no pressure. They can pick up the ball, think, look and get a pass away.
