    What a defensive header. Lucy Bronze volleys it well but Sweden have defended with their lives. They are so organised.

    Alex Greenwood's corner is punched away by the keeper but it falls to Lucy Bronze in the centre. She volleys it straight towards goal but Sweden defender Nilla Fischer is there AGAIN to head it off the line! Unreal!

    Sweden are renowned for their discipline and they are so strong defensively. England have had all the play in the second half but it just hasn't happened for them yet.

    Can Karen Carney make a difference? She slips it left to Fran Kirby but the move breaks down when Jade Moore's ball dribbles harmlessly through to the keeper.

    Sweden's only shot on target was this from Julia Zigiotti.

  12. 'England have to move the ball quickly'published at 17:43 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    England 1-2 Sweden

    Lindsay Johnson
    Ex-England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It was a brilliant pullback by Karen Carney and Ellen White just couldn't get on the end of it. They have to move the ball quickly in and around that box because the Swedish are powerful units in that defence.

    A confirmed crowd of 20,316 at the Stade de Nice, which is some 15,000 short of capacity but still a decent number given it's proximity to Lyon (500km away) the host city of the semis and finals.

  14. CLOSE!published at 82 mins

    England 1-2 Sweden

    Karen Carney almost provides it! She links up with Alex Greenwood on the left before firing a ball into the centre.

    Fran Kirby's shot is blocked but it falls for Ellen White. She's sliding in to try and get a toe on it but it's cleared JUST in time.

    Sean: England running out of gas. Petrol. Whatev.

    Richard: Neville and Southgate. The future is so very .... mediocre.

    Robert: England's passing is very sloppy. Some look very tired.

    England 1-2 Sweden

    Alex Greenwood slaps her arms down in frustration as yet another of her crosses, which takes a deflection this time, sails straight into the keeper's arms.

    England need a spark from somewhere!

    Alex Greenwood's cross sails over everybody's heads and Lucy Bronze ends up fouling Magdalena Eriksson at the back post.

    On the England bench, Rachel Daly is getting ready to come on.

    England 1-2 Sweden

    Karen Carney steps inside, off the left, and creates space for herself to cross. She's aiming for Lucy Bronze but it skips too far in front and out for a goalkick.

  20. Postpublished at 76 mins

    England 1-2 Sweden

    Sofia Jakobsson drills a dangerous ball in from the right but Lucy Bronze does exceptionally well to head it clear, just as there were two attackers coming in.

    Sweden are just starting to pile some pressure on.
