    The supporters groaned when Marta was forced off after just 20 minutes - they wanted to see more of the world’s best player - but it was good news for England. Brazil lack attacking threat (barring a few set-pieces), while Toni Duggan and Nikita Parris were constant pests for the Brazil defence in that first half. England still only one goal ahead though, despite several chances.

    England 1-0 Brazil

    The Lionesses deserve the lead and in truth should be further in front.

    Brazil have barely been in it.

    England 1-0 Brazil

    Lucy Bronze catches Thaisa with a late challenge and is booked.

    Free-kick to Brazil.

    Camila hits it, she puts her laces through the ball but smacks it straight at the wall and England counter.

    Camila manages a last ditch block on Nikita Parris.

    Probably one touch too many by Parris.

    The captain’s armband is a curse for Brazil. First Marta and now Bruna off with injuries. Let’s hope Formiga isn’t next!

    Bruna's afternoon is over, on comes Daiane.

    Nikita Parris pounces on a loose ball, she goes for goal and is just wide.

    Now Bruna is down after twisting her knee.

    The game becoming very disjointed but England still on top.

    England 1-0 Brazil

    Ludmila is down after a foul from Jordan Nobbs.

    She rolls around and the physio is on.

    Not sure any of the Brazilians are enjoying the wet and cold conditions at Meadow Lane.

    Alves takes the free-kick but it is easily collected by Telford.

    England 1-0 Brazil

    Should be 2-0.

    Fran Kirby drives into the box, bullying her way past the Brazilian defence.

    She squares a pass across the face of goal which Rachel Daly tries to prod in but tucks wide.

    The better option may have been to leave it for Izzy Christiansen, who was waiting behind her.

    Some great names in this Brazil team: Barbara, Monica, Camila, Darlene, Raquel...

    Nikita Parris takes on Camila again and the Brazilian is left on the floor in the box.

    Parris then has a shot but it is straight at Barbara, she goes for the rebound but sticks it over.

    Camila not enjoying her time in Nottingham today.

    Marta does not look happy on the bench, her left thigh is heavily strapped with an ice pack on her hamstring.

    This had been coming, but after 21 minutes the world player of the year Marta has come off injured and is replaced by Raquel.

    Nikita Parris is giving the Brazilian defence no end of problems on England's right side. A goal looks likely every time she gets the ball.

    Fran Kirby cannot replicate her early opener with the header, but it's all too easy for England on both flanks at the minute.

    Right on cue, Parris has to deal with an industrial challenge from Camila. Perhaps that's the best way to stop her. Fair means have not been working for the Brazilian.

    Camila has clattered Nikita Parris. She definitely left one on her there.

    Marta has just turned to the Brazil bench and made a gesture which looked like she wanted to come off. She then clutched the back of her leg. Has she pulled something? A few players were sent to warm up down the touchline...
