Norway have players in good positions going forward but Caroline Graham Hansen knocks a high ball harmlessly out of play.

Then comes the tournament's first substitution, as Ingvild Isaksen replaces Frida Maanum.

Arsenal's Vivianne Miedema goes close again, but she was offside.

Will the Dutch be made to pay for their missed opportunities?

A Netherlands free-kick at one end leads to a Norway break down the other, as winger Kristine Minde sprints downfield, but it comes to nothing.

Who is going to get the first goal of Euro 2017? It's a game that could definitely go either way.

Norway should be ahead! Lyon star Ada Hegerberg races down the right and plays the ball low across the face of goal for Kristine Minde, but it's just half a yard in front of her. She can't reach it.

The Netherlands escape. They were wide open at the back.

The hosts launch a long ball over the top for Arsenal's Vivianne Miedema, but she is fractionally offside, according to the officials. That was tight.

Netherlands left-winger Lieke Martens cuts inside and curls towards goal but her effort is held by the Norway keeper.

Just like at the start of the first half, Liverpool's Shanice van de Sanden gets in behind the Norway defence again and squares it towards Lieke Martens this time, in the six-yard box, but Norway slide in to clear it.

A bright start to the half for the hosts.

Norway and Lyon striker Ada Hegerberg gets the second half going. Can anyone break the deadlock?

The players emerge back out of the tunnel and Norway - in white tops and dark shorts - will get the second half started.

The hosts are all in orange, as you'd expect.

Netapiwa: Caroline Graham Hansen is a class act.

The 22-year-old Wolfsburg striker has been a nuisance for the Netherlands defence, that's for sure Netapiwa. Her pace is a real threat to any side.

The hosts seem to be coping with the expectation that falls on the home nation relatively well so far, but they'll need to be wary of Norway in the second half.

Speaking before the game, Reading defender Mandy van den Berg - captain of the Netherlands team - told the BBC World Service:

"We don’t really see it as pressure – it's an opportunity to show people what we are capable of.

"Hopefully we are at the point now when we are one of these teams who can really do something further in the tournament. It’s going to be magical.

"To walk out on that stage and represent your country in front of a full, orange stadium, will probably be the best experience of my life."

A really confident first half from the Netherlands, they look the most dangerous and have worked together. They were on top and knew their game plan.

Norway have not been able to get on the ball, but they do look dangerous in the attacking third.

The landscape of European women's football in 2017 paints a very different picture to that of four years ago, around the time of the previous Euros.

A good start to the tournament from two teams who are not among the hot favourites, but could both challenge. Despite some fervent support, the only thing missing has been a goal, and with the likes of Ada Hegerberg up front for Norway, you wonder if the hosts might rue some of those missed chances.

The Dutch side need to keep feeding Lieke Martens and Shanice van den Sanden. Still, the home crowd are enjoying themselves so far.

The hosts had 56% of possession in that half, and seven attempts on goal to Norway's six.

They went closest to scoring, inside the first minute, but Arsenal's Danielle van de Donk was denied from close range.

That is indeed the last act of the first half of Women's Euro 2017.

No goals yet, but plenty of chances and plenty of decent saves.

Into stoppage time, the Norwegians head wide from a corner, but the hosts survive and will reach the break level, after a cracking half.

Netherlands midfielder Sherida Spitse - who, as a free-kick specialist - knows how to strike from range, hits a low shot at goal from outside the area but keeper Ingrid Hjelmseth gathers it.

Down the other end, Norway win a corner through the lively Caroline Graham Hansen.

The crowd, which is a healthy mix of men, women and kids, burst into applause earlier in the 32nd minute for 32-year-old Netherlands international Sylvia Nooij, who died of a seizure earlier this month.

Chelsea's Maren Mjelde curls it neatly over the Dutch wall but Arsenal keeper Sari van Veenendaal does well to parry it past the post.

From the corner, from the second phase, Ada Hegerberg blasts wide. Two good chances for Norway in the space of a minute.
