    Andy: England are really so sloppy at times, better teams will take full advantage of that.

    Mark: England have lost the plot as well in this second half. The defending is atrocious. Against a better team they'd be behind now.

    England win a corner on the left but Augustine Ejangue is down in pain in the box. She receives treatment while Toni Duggan waits patiently at the corner flag.

    As soon as Lucy Bronze gets the ball she's booed incessantly by the Cameroon fans. And Karen Bardsley. And Ellen White.

    What happens next in this ridiculous game is anyone's guess!

    Another long ball forward catches England out at the back and Alexandra Engolo is in AGAIN. She almost lifts it over Karen Bardsley's head but the chip doesn't quite come off.

    What is happening!?!?!

    Lapse in concentration. That is what Cameroon do. They pressurise but Karen Bardsley did well, making herself as big as she could for as long as she could.

    Whatever is going on, it's clearly got to the England players. Alex Greenwood has a shocker. She tries to pass it back to Karen Bardsley but ends up putting it straight on a plate for substitute Alexandra Engolo to hit.

    Luckily, Bardsley is alert and reacts well to make a crucial block.

    Will: Oh no Cameroon must be fuming but my goodness this got 100 times more farcical. Such strange scenes here. The thing is the rules have been obeyed here. Everything has happened that it should - no matter how marginal.

    It's easier said than done to take out the emotion. You have just scored a goal in the knockout round of the World Cup - it's the highlight of your sporting career.

    But it's plain and simple. The rule has been enforced. It's the right decision.

    Cameroon's Ajara Nchout has her head in her hands, clearly extremely, extremely upset. All of her team-mates are trying to console her. She's distraught.

    As play resumes, whistles and boos ring around the stands.

    Cameroon coach Alain Djeufma has no idea what to do. He is trying to get his team together. Captain Gabrielle Onguene is also doing her best to get everyone together.

    Phil Neville walks over to Djeufma and has a sympathetic word.

    The Cameroon players and fans cannot believe this.

    They're all pointing up at the big screen. They won't accept the decision of VAR!

    I've never seen anything like this.

    Emotions are high. The manager is trying to calm them down, trying to tell the players they still have a lot of time left in the game. The players keep looking at the screen and when the decision was made the Cameroon players fell to the floor.

    Gabrielle Onguene was deemed to be in an offside position on the left when she was played in.

    The Cameroon players are FURIOUS. Ajara Nchout is in tears.

    England fell asleep!

    Ajara Nchout is left unmarked in the centre and she's picked out by a low cross. She hits it first time and fires it into the top of the net.
