Now Chelsea's Fran Kirby wins a free-kick for England, on the left-hand side, near the Scotland penalty area.

Jordan Nobbs will curl this one in for England.

Scotland's Leanne Crichton tries to bring a high ball down under control on the bye-line, but it just drops a whisker out of play for an England goal kick.

England are closing Scotland down very quickly when they pick up possession. They're trying to force them into errors and it's working for now. Anna Signeul's side are starting to see a little more of the ball but they just can't hold onto it.

PaulSchwarte: Good tempo, easy on the ball, positional game okay, impressive start.

Man City's Jane Ross is going to have to work really hard tonight.

She's playing as the lone striker for Scotland and is up against two tall centre-backs in Steph Houghton and Millie Bright.

She's chasing down every long ball for now.

It might not be a big crowd inside the Stadion Galgenwaard, but the majority of them are English fans and they certainly made themselves heard after that Jodie Taylor goal.

For a player whose career stalled under former England boss Hope Powell, and who made her mark at the 2015 World Cup despite being injured, she's been relishing the chance to play in her first European Championship. What a start!

It is a great shame Kim Little is not here, she is a Scotland legend and they have a few others out injured too. England boss Mark Sampson is missing one or two that could have played tonight. Scotland’s Swedish coach Anna Signeul made some lovely comments about the national anthem saying she needs to listen to it carefully.

Scotland’s Gemma Fay is playing her 201st international, she says this is going to be the game of her life. They can cause England problems, but taking the emotions way, World Cup semi-finalists England should be too strong.

A left-wing Scotland corner causes England some problems in the middle and captain Steph Houghton - who got her head to the clearance - looks a bit bruised. She appeared to fall over her own team-mate, Ellen White, while leaping.

She'll be OK to continue for now though.

The Scotland defence will want to forget that quickly. They simply parted to allow Jodie Taylor through on goal. Very composed finish to give England the lead.

Anna Signeul said she wanted to keep England quiet for the first 15 minutes and turn the game into a battle. That has now gone so Scotland need a plan B. Those in white are looking fitter and faster for now though.

Mark Sampson will be delighted with the early goal.

Now Scotland will have no choice but to play a bit more expansively rather than potentially sitting back.

I thought it was offside at first. The Scotland players got stuck and the ball rolled through. Jodie Taylor and Fran Kirby are two potentially world class players for England.

A really good finish but the intelligence of Fran Kirby with the dummy is absolute genius. She took two players out of the game with a shimmy.

Her front partner Jodie Taylor ran through and finished it off.

Blistering start by both teams, and Jordan Nobbs is like a uncoiled spring. She's all over the place at the minute.

The Arsenal midfielder and Manchester City right-back Lucy Bronze are among the fittest players in the squad and make for a really strong right side for England.

Scotland look to get the ball forward towards Jane Ross but it's a bit too strong, and runs out of play for a goal kick.

Both sides have started with intent.

It's been a hot and humid day in Utrecht, with the temperature still about 27 degrees, which is perfect for England to test Mark Sampson's theory that his team are the "fittest in the tournament".

The squad has certainly put in the hard yards in preparation for Euro 2017, and Sampson says his team have done their homework on Scotland.

He said: "I think we are the best at looking at our opponents and identifying how to find a way to beat them. They've been very similar for the past four years in terms of their structure and style so it will be a big surprise if they try something new out there. But if they do we're the best team at adapting in international football."

England knocking the ball around with confidence in the midfield now as they look to stamp their authority on this match. They appear unfazed by that early Jane Ross effort that Karen Bardsley tipped over the bar.

England get their first shot on target away, but Arsenal midfielder Jordan Nobbs' low strike from outside the area is easily saved.

I saw eight England players in a line on the edge of the 18-yard box for the corner. I have never seen that in a football match.
