    Meanwhile, the attendance is 27,093. That's a Dutch record for women's football and the biggest attendance for a European Championship semi-final. The hosts are enjoying themselves.

    Ellen White is almost in on goal for England, racing on to a long ball, but she pokes wide under pressure from keeper Sari van Veenendaal, who ran out of her goal bravely and made herself look big, as they say.

    Successive England corners come and go without an effort on target. England need to test the keeper more.

    Fara Williams was trying to be composed and keep possession but she got the angle wrong and it's an upward challenge now. The reality is that they are 2-0 down with half an hour to go. Can they keep composed?

    Oh dear. England concede a second and only have themselves to blame

    A high ball is nodded back towards their own goal by the experienced Fara Williams. But the England backline are flat-footed and allow her header to bounce straight to Arsenal's Danielle van de Donk in the area.

    She gets there before the keeper and finds the net, prompting delirium for the hosts. They're just less than half an hour away from the final.

    England look angry about being 1-0 down - they look determined to put it right.

    Fran Kirby causes problems for the Dutch defence and feeds Ellen White, who arrives sprinting in to the area, but her effort is deflected and it's saved.

    Ellen White is looking leggy, there are a few subs out to warm up now and I can see Toni Duggan or Nikita Parris coming on soon.

    It's not been a game of plentiful chances. Siobhan Chamberlain's save from Shanice van der Sanden's effort a moment ago came from the hosts' second shot on target of the game. They scored from their first.

    An England corner comes to nothing and instead the Netherlands force a quick counter attack.

    But the Lionesses charge back in great numbers and defend it well, forcing Jackie Groenen to shoot from way out.

    For some reason the lights have gone off in the stands, but the England fans and their enthusiastic drummer are providing the energy as the Lionesses try to get back into this.

    Bastiaan Muilwijk: I don't think it was a penalty. Maybe because I don't like penalties; probably because I'm Dutch...

    Appreciate your honesty, Bastiaan.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 51 mins

    Netherlands 1-0 England

    England's Siobhan Chamberlain does well to deny her Liverpool team-mate Shanice van de Sanden, diving to her right to palm away the winger's effort from close range.

    That's an important save for England.

    It's good to see both wingers starting much higher in this second half for England. Fran Kirby is dropping off in to the hole now as well.
