    England into the semis

    Mark Sampson with a huge leap into the air, a pile-on in the middle of the pitch. England have finally beaten France.

    Sampson is delighted. As well he may be.

    Siobhan Chamberlain will not be more thankful for a tame header in any game in her career!

    What a chance!!!

    France put the cross in, sub Clarisse le Bihan gets there first and can only head straight at Siobhan Chamberlain. SHe should have left it for Claire Lavogez behind her!

    England need to be careful. As well as rallying the troops, Steph Houghton's got to keep organising the backline.

    England look a spent force. This is proper smash and grab stuff now. But give Jodie Taylor one chance and she'll score in this tournament. That's the story of the night as it stands...

    Six minutes. Wow. I guess England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley was down injured on three occasions before she was replaced.

    Into the last minute. England free-kick. Celebrated like a goal from Mark Sampson.

    SIX MINUTES added on!

    Jade Moore with the hand-off in Claire Lavogez's face. Foul.

    Free-kick in a dangerous area...

    England 1-0 France

    Table football defence is doing the job at the moment. England five minutes from glory.

    Reminder, they have not beaten France since 1974...

    Steve Elsworth: 9minutes left 9% battery left. On Eurostar coming back from Lyon. Tense? Just a little

    Spindley Bobbins: Some of England's defence is rather reminiscent of table football - just swing anything at it and hope it doesn't go in

    AWAY! Goodness me. Claire Lavogez bends in a fine free-kick, it's half cleared, well blocked, blocked AGAIN from point-blank range and then Lavogez fires wide!

    Jade Moore blocked that twice while on the floor. Heroic.

    The end is nigh. England into game management mode now, winning a throw right in the corner and fencing it off. Jodie Taylor has worked the channels so well and she has scored five goals in these finals from six attempts.

    England are managing this game very well. It's really clever strategical play.

    England 1-0 France

    Jodie Taylor wins a corner for England with some rare possession. Jordan Nobbs' ball in is not dealt with, Jill Scott heads it back in and on the spin Millie Bright fires over.

    Taylor is then caught in the middle and Griedge M'Bock is booked.
