Marta, the world's best player, has not really had a look-in yet.

She tries to take on Lucy Bronze in a foot race, but the right-back comes out on top.

Almost a second for England and it is a carbon copy of the move for their opener.

Again Brazil neglect Nikita Parris on the right and she dinks a pass for Frank Kirby, but this time the header is wide.

Debinha has Brazil's first real effort on goal.

She takes a sweep at a shot from the edge of the area but it is just wide.

Otherwise Carly Telford is having a quiet afternoon in the England goal.

England's movement is causing Brazil all sorts of problems.

Fran Kirby finds Rachel Daly in the box, but the Houston Dash forward fires over the bar.

Goal number 11 for Fran Kirby in an England shirt and it was a fabulous finish.

But it was just as much to do all with the confident, incisive running of Nikita Parris. That attacking line-up has paid off already

A great start but boss Phil Neville was very restrained in his celebrations. He was out barking orders and seemingly eager to ensure his players keep their concentration and stick to the game plan.

Barbara does not look particularly confident in the Brazil goal and England are pressing high.

The visitors not getting a look in so far.

England have used the width brilliantly in the early stages. Alex Greenwood and Toni Duggan are linking up on this near side, while Nikita Parris and Lucy Bronze are hugging the right touchline. That goal was a simple ball in which Fran Kirby headed brilliantly into the corner.

Under way at Meadow Lane.

The England defence will have a job on their hands this afternoon with the Brazil line led by Marta.

The Orlando Pride forward has scored 110 goals in 133 games for her country and was recently named the world's best female player at the Best Fifa Football Awards for the sixth time.

Boss Phil Neville promised England would be treating this friendly like a knockout match and a seriously strong selection reflects this.

In a bold attacking line-up, Toni Duggan gets a chance to impress and it will be fascinating to see how Chelsea's Fran Kirby is used.

A centre-forward for her club, but her role has been a bit more varied at international level.

There's pace everywhere, with Nikita Parris and Izzy Christiansen also starting. Seemingly, it's an approach which suggests Neville is thinking attack is the best form of defence.

While Gareth Southgate has retired his waistcoast, Phil Neville is sticking with his.

Speaking to BT Sport, he explains his attacking team selection: "We want to score goals and cause the opposition problems.

"Brazil are a technical team, we need to get hold of the ball and pass it well. I want the midfield in particular, to be on the ball as much as possible and create chances for Rachael Daly, who is bang in form."

It's been a filthy morning in Nottingham. Plenty of rain about and although that has stopped for now, it's bitterly cold.

More than 10,000 tickets have been sold already but the weather may well affect the walk-ups, which is a shame.

It's gloves and scarf weather. That's also a shame. Missing the sun already.

England: Telford; Bronze, Houghton (c), Bright, Greenwood; Christiansen, Nobbs; Parris, Kirby, Duggan, Daly.

Brazil: Barbara; Leticia, Bruna, Monica, Camila, Thaisa, Formiga, Marta (c), Ludmila, Alves, Debinha.

England secured their place at next year's World Cup with a 3-0 win against Wales in August.

Today marks the start of their preparations for France 2019 and they face the world's eighth best side Brazil at Notts County’s Meadow Lane, with Australia at Craven Cottage on Tuesday.

“I need to know where we are at against the cream of the crop," said manager Phil Neville.

"I need to know where each individual player is at and I need to know what we need to learn.

“If we get to the quarter finals or semi-finals next year, we are probably going to be playing the likes of Brazil so I’m going to treat this match like a World Cup quarter final.

“That’s where we want to be in eight months’ time and we want to be able to beat teams of this calibre on a regular basis.”
