    England, in possession, have not used the ball. They have given it away far too easily. They haven't utilised the ball. When the Netherlands have had the ball they have had a purpose to every pass.

    The Netherlands are ranked 12th in the Fifa women's rankings, while England are fifth. This is an upset, make no mistake about it. The Dutch are closing in on their first ever major final.

    Netherlands 2-0 England

    England's corner comes to nothing as it's well claimed by Sari van Veenendaal in the air.

    Moments later, the hosts win a corner of their own, and they'll look to wind down the clock in the far corner.

    Netherlands 2-0 England

    It was at the semi-final stage when England's bid for World Cup glory under head coach Mark Sampson ended in 2015.

    They have 10 minutes left to avoid going out at the same stage this time too.

    Netherlands 2-0 England

    It's not exactly a cold night in the Netherlands, but at least one person is wearing a coat.

    Such was his dismay at the referee's decision not to give England a penalty before the break, head coach Mark Sampson ripped his own shirt in his protests at the time.

    Since then, he's had his coat zipped up all the way to the top, to keep the tear hidden.

    England have a free-kick in a dangerous position, but captain Steph Houghton curls it over the wall and over the bar too. That wasn't her best effort.

    Lucy Bronze goes over in the area. The Dutch are accusing her of falling down too easily.

    But you could say there was very sufficient contact - and none made with the ball whatsoever. Can England feel a tad aggrieved there?

    Not many complaints to the referee from the Lionesses though. And, in fact, the replays show Bronze did jump, so to speak..
