    England have got to come back into the game. If you want your best players to be at their best, they have to be playing in their best positions.

    Nikita Parris and Lucy Bronze cannot get into the game.

    Wow, what a first half!

    Phil Neville revealed earlier in the competition that he only takes two minutes to speak to the players in the dressing room and if he needs anymore time than that then they're in big trouble.

    This is going to be a big two minutes (or more) for the England boss.

    We are very narrow, we need to get the ball out wide. We need to get Nikita Parris on the ball and get her to threaten their backline.

    If you're a fan of niche stats, here's a cracker.

    Alex Morgan became the first women's player to score on her birthday at the World Cup. She turns 30 today. Nice!

    We know with this USA team, they attack in blocks of power, England could not handle that. USA got the first punch but we got our confidence back and showed composure. They need to do that in the second half.

    England certainly are not out of it, in spells they have played well but the USA have showed how athletic they are and can punish you if you make mistakes.

    Lucy Bronze goes from one end of the pitch to the other after intercepting the ball. She beats Crystal Dunn for pace and wins a corner on the right.

    Excellent stuff!

    It's headed away by Rachel Daly.

    The USA have started to dominate again. England need the half-time whistle to go.

    There's a three-on-three as Tobin Heath and Christen Press break with pace down the right. Millie Bright does well to recover and blocks the cross.

    Corner to the USA...

    'England 'til I die', sing the England fans, after some prompting from the band.

    Then a mixture of English boos and American cheers greet the referee's decision to book Millie Bright.

  14. 'USA winning every aerial ball'published at 20:41 British Summer Time 2 July 2019

    Emma Hayes

    Every ball that has gone into the air in the box has been won by the USA. England need to get those distances sorted out.

    The resulting free-kick is swung in towards the back post and again it's a USA player who gets there first.

    This time, Lindsey Horan can only nod it wide under pressure from Lucy Bronze and Steph Houghton.

    I don't think Millie Bright meant that, she was trying to hold Alex Morgan off and caught her in the face.

    England 1-2 USA

    Alex Morgan gets the better of Millie Bright and the England centre-back uses her arm to shove her away.

    She catches her in the face and the referee doesn't like it. Into the book...

  19. 'Midfield overload not working'published at 20:39 British Summer Time 2 July 2019

    England 1-2 USA

    Rachel Brown-Finnis
    Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The overload in midfield is not really working and it's giving the USA the advantage. Nikita Parris is not getting the ball enough and she is having to track back and defend.
