    Wins against Scotland, Argentina and now Japan have seen England go through as Group D winners.

    They scored six goals and conceded two. Only France and Germany have also kept a 100% record so far.

    It's a third-placed side up next in the last 16 on Sunday. You can follow that live with us across the website, TV and radio.

    The final four matches in Group E and F are on tomorrow and we'll find out England's opponents then.

  3. 'Second-half dips'published at 22:15 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    FT: Japan 0-2 England

    Worrying that England have now suffered second-half dips against Scotland and Japan in the group games.

    But they have won both games and in Ellen White and Karen Bardsley, they have players in good form where it counts.

    Phil Neville will not want to see that last 25 minutes from England again. They can't keep getting sloppy in the last 25 minutes because they will get punished. That's the message he'll be hammering home.

    Steph Houghton was excellent. She was a true captain tonight and she made a number of crucial interventions.

  8. 'I love scoring against Japan'published at 22:07 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    FT: Japan 0-2 England

    England goalscorer Ellen White on BBC One: "We expected Japan to come at us hard in that second half so we were ready for it. We did well and we stuck together and we got the win. It's three wins from three so we take a lot of momentum into the knockouts now.

    "I love scoring against Japan and playing for my country - it's a dream to be here.

    "We'll keep growing as the tournament goes on. Our objective was to win the group and we've done that. Now, we need to recover and get ready for the next game."

    They play in Valenciennes on Sunday. Who their opponent is, they don't know yet. But it will be a third-place side. One of China, Cameroon, New Zealand, Chile or Thailand.

    Only Fara Williams (five) has more goals than Ellen White for England in World Cup finals.

    When England tired they got sloppy and gave away possession needlessly. Against the big teams you can be punished for that and that's where England need to improve.

    The last winners of this competition also came from group D (USA in 2015).

    Alex Scott
    Ex-England international on BBC One

    That's the frustrating thing about England - we did so well in the first half but they were sloppy in the second half. Those are the things we need to improve at.

  14. 'She is so clinical'published at 21:57 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    FT: Japan 0-2 England

    Dion Dublin
    Ex-Aston Villa striker on BBC One

    Ellen White knows what she has to do when she gets in front of goal and that's why she's so clinical. There's a single-mindedness from her.

    You can see the goalkeeper is wondering which way she's going to go [for the second goal] but White is so calm, she was never in doubt.

    Ellen White comes up big for the team again. That's where she's improved so much - when a team is relying on her she comes up with the goods.

  17. Postpublished at 21:54 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    Heart-breaking scenes in the Parc des Princes. Scotland's World Cup dreams are all but over despite leading 3-0 against Argentina.

    The players are distraught. They fall to the ground and some are in tears.

    Wow, wow, wow.

  18. Postpublished at 21:52 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    Ellen White's double does the trick. What a tournament she is having. That's three goals for her in the group stages.

    She's England's top scorer so far.

    England top Group D. They have won all three group games and finish with nine points.

    They take on a third-placed team in the last 16. Japan will take on the Netherlands or Canada.

    Oh no, no, no, no. This is devastating for Scotland. Four minutes into stoppage time, they have been pegged back to 3-3 as Argentina convert the penalty at the second time of asking.
