    England 1-2 Sweden

    Jill Scott holds the ball up in the left corner and flicks it on to Alex Greenwood, who makes a brilliant run towards the backline.

    There's just a little too much on the flick and keeper Hedvig Lindahl pounces on it before Greenwood can get a toe in.

    England 1-2 Sweden

    Nikita Parris feeds in Fran Kirby down the right but the Chelsea striker can't beat the keeper at the near post.

    Her cross needed a bit of height. She's getting into spaces though!

    England 1-2 Sweden

    Lovely play from Alex Greenwood. She links up with several players in midfield before Fran Kirby whips it around to Ellen White on the left.

    The striker can't quite gather it in but England retain possession on the edge of the box. Jill Scott's long-range shot is then blocked.

    England 1-2 Sweden

    There's a nudge on Steph Houghton by Linda Sembrant and England are awarded a free-kick. It's a good job too because that cross was curling straight across the face of the goal.

    Moments later, Sofia Jakobsson tries to beat Alex Greenwood on the right but the full-back uses her strength to shove her out of play.

    Phil Neville is out of his technical area, pacing up and down, pointing at his watch. He wants an England response in this second half...and he wants it now.

    Gary: Second half will belong to Lionesses. Come on and #roarforthelionesses! Let’s have it!

    deepbluedevil: Goals don't count anymore. Celebrations will become a thing of the past. Everything is pending VAR clearance. What a horrible soulless joyless feeling.

    England 1-2 Sweden

    A ball is threaded through to Jodie Taylor and the keeper comes racing out of the box to make a sliding tackle.

    The ball pops up and Taylor looks set to pounce on it but Nilla Fischer, Sweden's experienced 34-year-old defender, does ever so well to block her run and calmly hooks it clear.

    It's been a good start to the second half by England and they are having most of their possession inside the Swedish half.

    It was worth an effort but didn't really trouble the goalkeeper. Sweden get back to keep a compact shape and try and stop England getting those balls through.

    Alex Greenwood's long-range strike is blocked and it comes out to Fran Kirby. She flicks it on to Jade Moore, who also has a pop from distance, but it's always going wide.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 49 mins

    England 1-2 Sweden

    Here's England's first change. It's Euro 2017 Golden Boot winner Jodie Taylor. She replaces Beth Mead.

    That means Ellen White still has time to get that all important goal...

    Ellen White chases down a long ball and keeper Hedvig Lindahl hastily hooks it clear. Alex Greenwood's cross from the left is blocked and she doesn't read Fran Kirby's through ball.

    England 1-2 Sweden

    England boss Phil Neville speaking to BBC at half-time: "We are the team that looks fresh. The first 20 minutes we've put to bed, we have to play with more urgency which we did for last 20 minutes.

    "Was it handball? I've seen it it looks harsh. We are right in this game and we have to keep on the front foot."

    Gary: Ellen should have gone down like a pile of bricks. VAR would have awarded a penalty. Nonsense.

    Andrew: I thought that VAR was only meant to be used for "clear and obvious errors"? Whites goal definitely isn't clear or obvious!
