    Absolutely brilliant for England.

    I was worrying we could not get ourselves into the game but a moment of brilliance from Keira Walsh then Beth Mead's perfect cross.

    It was just a touch from Ellen White because she will be in the right place at the right time, she is so clinical.

    The England fans behind the goal at the other end of the pitch go bezerk!

    Ellen White, the most instinctive finisher this summer's finals have seen, does it yet again.

    Phil Neville is so excited he runs on the pitch and has to be called back by the officials.

    We've just looked at each other in the press box and gone 'GAME ON'.

    That is the first time USA dropped off a gear and that is why Beth Mead is in the team, for that quality. Ellen White gets between both centre-backs and it's a great response.

    GOAL - England 1-1 USApublished at 19 mins

    Ellen White

    SHE'S DONE IT AGAIN! Ellen White is now the leading scorer in the World Cup with six!

    Beth Mead curls a terrific ball in from the left and White gets her toe to it first - directing it past Alyssa Naeher and into the far, right corner.

    What a lovely goal!

    The England fans' band are still making the most noise.

    But the USA fans are jumping up and down to a repetitive verse of 'I believe that we will win'.

    England 0-1 USA

    It's all very rushed from England. Keira Walsh tries to touch it on first time for Ellen White but she's never getting there.

    Steph Houghton and Lucy Bronze try to get something going down the right but Christen Press bundles the full-back over the sideline.

    You have to get so much closer to Rose Lavelle, that is so easy for her.

    She is finding space and dictating the play right now.

    Tobin Heath looks dangerous every time she has the ball. She is toying with Demi Stokes on the right.

    Heath links up with Rose Lavelle on the edge of the box and the midfielder lets fly. It's hit with pace but is always going over the bar.

    I think everybody needs to be a little calmer on the ball because USA are getting opportunities on the turnover of the ball.

    Beth Mead tries to release Ellen White early but it's too early. England's top-scorer can't get there in front of Kelley O'Hara.

    The USA have still scored in the opening 12 minutes of every match at this World Cup. Just insane.

    Hannah: Come on England. Keep going

    Joe C: Not the best start. But the way Americans have been attacking, it was a matter of time. Come on, Lionesses! You can take it back!

    Poor defending from England, they have to do better defensively.

    You have to block the cross and I am not sure about Lucy Bronze's positioning, she comes too far across, you have to know what is coming over your shoulder.

    Real quality from USA on the attack, will USA now defend like they did against France and say, 'you come and attack us'?

    The USA fans erupt in celebration and all of their subs leap up on to their feet and rush to the edge of the technical area.

    They've become used to taking early leads in this tournament.

    We have been talking so much about this battle down England right hand side and it's down England's right where the problems are coming.

    It's a deep cross to the back post and Lucy Bronze does not see Christen Press coming.
