England have enjoyed almost 70% of the possession so far and are really enjoying themselves.

Keira Walsh, back to Lucy Bronze, up to Nikita Parris and into the centre. It's chance, after chance at the moment.

The average positions of the teams below show just how much Cameroon are being pushed into their own half.

Russell: Is it just me or is Phil Neville slowly morphing into a young Sam Allardyce?

Brian: Good start by the girls, Looking sharp, Let's get another while we are on top.

I am concerned about Cameroon's longevity. In previous games they have showed speed and athleticism. Even their top players, I haven't seen them get involved like they have previously.

Jill Scott has been excellent so far. She uses her strength to power through the centre and links up with Nikita Parris and Fran Kirby, while shrugging off challenges.

She tries to slip it through to Ellen White on the right but the forward wanted it lifting in towards the centre.

As the England players come over to grab a much-needed drink in these humid, hot conditions, Nikita Parris has a word with the fourth official, pointing out again the elbow she received early on, for which Yvonne Leuko was booked.

Jill Scott is doing so well in the middle of the park. She is closing players down and is not shirking from the physical battle. She is also finding space. It is exactly what you want from your central midfielder.

England 1-0 Cameroon

The players take on water as Cameroon captain Gabrielle Onguene receives treatment following a run-in with Jill Scott.

She is struggling!

Both of Steph Houghton's World Cup finals goals for England have been scored at the last 16 stage (2015 v Norway and 2019 v Cameroon).

Great start by England, but after an elbow on Nikita Parris by Yvonne Lueko and Augustine Ejangue appearing to spit on Toni Duggan, should Cameroon be down to nine players?

Or have Fifa changed their VAR policy again?

An eventful start to the game.

Kwame: That surely wasn't an intentional back pass to the goalkeeper. It was more a heavy touch than anything else. Bad interpretation from the Chinese referee. Where was VAR in this?

Great build-up from England, who weave through the middle with one-touch passing. It comes to Fran Kirby on the edge of the box and she lays it off to Toni Duggan on the left.

The Barcelona forward tries to find the top right corner with a curling effort but it flies narrowly wide. Decent effort!

England have opened the scoring in the 14th minute in three of their four matches at the Women's World Cup.

Again, England are getting success down the right. Another cross is whipped in and it evades Toni Duggan by inches.

Was there a handball from the Cameroon defender? It's hard to tell without a replay. It doesn't go to VAR though, so the referee obviously didn't think so.

If Cameroon have not rehearsed that free-kick scenario, this England team for sure has.

It's an excellent finish by Steph Houghton.

That's the start these England fans wanted! They're up on their feet and the band start playing 'ole, ole'.

Down in the technical area, substitute Karen Carney steps out a few yards to pass on some instructions to the XI.

Yvonne Leuko, who is lucky to still be on the pitch, was shown the seventh yellow card by a Cameroon player at this World Cup - more than any other nation at the tournament.

Bottom right was probably the only place they could have put the ball. It was exactly where they needed to go. That was the only space they could have put it and fantastic from Steph Houghton. That is what you want from your captain and leader.

Steve: Spitting on your opponent, nice touch Cameroon. Disgusting.

Laurence: That goal is well deserved because nobody deserved to be spat on.
