  1. England 3-0 Japan

    Phil Neville looks a bit stressed on the sidelines. Has he seen the score?

  2. England 3-0 Japan

    And now England break!

    Ellen White paces forward and crosses for Chioma Ubogagu. She can't head home.

    And now White shoots wide after a mistake from Japan!

    A flurry.

  3. England 3-0 Japan

    Alex Greenwood whips in a free-kick from the right, her left foot bending the ball precisely.

    Ellen White can't get a head on it.

    At the other end, Yui Hasegawa is blocked by Leah Williamson, but Kumi Yokoyama wastes her attempt on goal.

  4. Sue Smith
    Former England forward on BBC TV

    Karen Carney and Beth Mead have been excellent. Their work rate off the ball as well as their quality on it.

  5. SUBSTITUTION

    England 3-0 Japan

    Ay up, more changes for the Lionesses.

    Toni Duggan and Chioma Ubogagu are on. Karen Carney and Beth Mead, who scored England's second and third, are off.

  6. England 3-0 Japan

    Narumi Miiura catches Lucy Staniforth on the top of the foot and I imagine that's the same sensation as standing on an upturned plug in bare feet.

    For some reason, the ref awards Japan the free-kick. It's 30 yards out and a long-range punt from Arisa Matsubara is straight into the chest of Carly Telford.

  7. SUBSTITUTION

    England 3-0 Japan

    Gemma Bonner ON. Keira Walsh, of mega pass for the third goal fame, is OFF.

  8. England 3-0 Japan

    Japan are really building!

    Kumi Yokoyama puts in a lovely through ball to Yuka Momiki but the Japanese forward's finish lets her down.

    You can see them getting on the scoresheet.

  9. England 3-0 Japan

    Kumi Yokoyama, who came on at the break, charges at Steph Houghton and England's captain has to massively backtrack.

    Yokoyama has options either side but she goes for goal and it's a wild effort which fails to trouble Carly Telford.

  10. CLOSE!

    England 3-0 Japan

    Oooh. Good play from Japan.

    Defender Aya Sameshima cuts inside on the left and her lofted, side-footed shot goes over the target.

    More danger for England as a cut back from close range forces Steph Houghton to boot down field.

  11. Sue Smith
    Former England forward on BBC TV

    It's a completely different Japan side in this second half. Their intensity, their movement...

  12. England 3-0 Japan

    Yep, Japan are back and fighting. This time Yui Hasegawa makes space inside the area and sees her shot go wide.

    Phil Neville makes his second change: Ellen White is on for double-assist queen Jodie Taylor.

    You can make up to six subs in this competition and Neville hinted he would use all of them.

  13. England 3-0 Japan

    Rikako Kobayashi, who was one of two replacements on at half-time for Japan, finally gets the world number eight side going.

    She wriggles free on the edge of the box but her shot is scuffed and heads wide of the goal.

  14. KICK-OFF

    England 3-0 Japan

    Ohhhhhh, they're halfway there.

    Woaaaahhh, we're under way.

    [There's always time for Bon Jovi. I will not hear otherwise]

    Ex-Arsenal Ladies & England international on BBC Four

    I'm obviously happy England are winning but I'm a little disappointed in Japan's performance. They have been slow and sloppy. They can't handle England in every single area. They are offering nothing. Their two shots have been outside the box! Happy days for England.

  17. WATCH: Beth Mead scores England's third

    That pass from Keira Walsh, though...

  18. WATCH: Carney doubles England's lead

    The moment Karen Carney made it 2-0 to England.

  19. Fancy reliving goals two and three?

    Course you do...

  20. Sue Smith
    Former England forward on BBC TV

    I think England have been excellent. Off the ball the shape has been perfect and the quality going forward has been superb. They have been clinical in their passing and finishing.
