    Chants of "Scotland, Scotland, Scotland" echo around the arena, just as their team give away the ball under pressure from Jill Scott.

    Has Phil Neville raided Gareth Southgate's wardrobe?

    Same shirt, same tie, even same waistcoat.

    Fingers crossed England go one step further in France than they managed last summer in Russia when they reached the semi-finals.

    Hopefully Scotland have a great run too.

  6. GREAT SAVE!published at 33 mins

    England 1-0 Scotland

    Kirby, who is back on the pitch, drives towards the box and slips it left to Beth Mead.

    Mead hits it first time, aiming for the far corner, but keeper Lee Alexander squeezes the angle and makes the save from relatively close-range.

    BBC One

    Glasgow City coach Scott Booth: "I think Scotland are very dangerous from set-plays. They've got real physique.

    "I think that's why they won't ever feel out of the game at 1-0 down. They know they're going to get opportunities like that and they're very strong from set-plays."

    Fran Kirby is down getting some treatment so the England players huddle around and take on water. Defenders Millie Bright and Alex Greenwood are having an intense discussion.

    England 1-0 Scotland

    Ellen White is onside when she chases a ball over the top and Lee Alexander has to come all the way out of her box to hoof it out towards the sidelines.

    White, who is well-known for being a pest (in a good way!) chases down Nicola Docherty and the ball slams off her and out for a throw-in in the right corner.

    Nicola Docherty, who Nikita Parris flicked the ball past earlier, returns the favour with a neat body-shimmy and a disguised drag to the left, leaving Parris chasing shadows.

  11. CLOSE!published at 28 mins

    England 1-0 Scotland

    Alex Greenwood hacks at the heels of Claire Emslie and gives away a free-kick on the right wing.

    Caroline Weir whips in an excellent ball but captain Rachel Corsie, diving to make contact, can't quite reach it. That was very, very close!

    Field: The game is in serious trouble if that's a pen. Will be 5 pens a game easily. Point blank range arm hasn't moved. It's shocking. Arm's going behind the back gives balance advantage to the attacker every single time.

    Baby Boomer: I am 100% in favour of VAR but a big problem is going to be the interpretation of handball, especially when things are replayed in slow motion, hiding the fact that things happen too quickly for humans to react. The laws of physics & biology still apply to footballers.

    It was clever from Ellen White before, she's so sharp at the moment. I think Jodie Taylor will have a say at this tournament but at the moment White is the one in form.

    Nikita Parris' goal was her 13th for England, but the first from a penalty.

    I think Scotland are causing their own problems. The clearances out of the box are just dropping at the edge, which is allowing England to attack again. They need to get a bit of respite, get the ball to the wide players and play further up the pitch. Scotland are camped in their own half.

    Erin Cuthbert's disposed with ease by Lucy Bronze, who then combines with Steph Houghton and Nikita Parris to toy with Scotland's midfield.

    A few flicks and tricks bypass a group of players before Parris is eventually stopped on the right.

  17. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 23 mins

    England 1-0 Scotland

    Ellen White pulls out the owl eyes celebration but she knows she's offside. Keira Walsh sees the run of White, lifts it over the back four and the striker nods it over the keeper.

    Not too much in it but she was offside.

    James Turner: Glad to see referees being consistent with this rule. It may be harsh but these are now the rules and may actually introduce more goals!

    Matthew Venn: Of course it's an unnatural position, you see fullbacks putting their hands behind their backs all the time for that exact reason.

    That was a golden chance for Fran Kirby.

    It was initially well defended but when Kirby picks up the ball she rushes it and drags it wide.

  20. GREAT SAVE!published at 22 mins

    England 1-0 Scotland

    Scotland are backs against the wall. England are using the width well. This time Beth Mead's cross is blocked before Lucy Bronze fizzes a dangerous ball towards Ellen White.

    White smashes it first time and connects really well but Lee Alexander pulls off a superb save, with her outstretched leg.
