Beth England turns and fires a good strike towards the top corner, from outside the box, but Sandy MacIver is there at her near post to tip the strike wide. Fine play all round.

Rikke Sevecke does come off and on comes Poppy Pattinson for the visitors.

We've got half an hour to go.

Everton's Rikke Sevecke is down again to receive more treatment and, if that has anything to do with the head injury she suffered at the start of the second half, surely she now has to come off.

The physio moves a finger across the front of her eyes, testing for signs of concussion, and reluctantly, Sevecke is going to have to come off. She doesn't want to, but the Toffees have to be cautious.

Birmingham welcome back Emma Kelly after injury, while West Ham's only change sees Canada's Adriana Leon return to their starting side.

Birmingham XI: Hampton, Scott, Brougham, Corsie, Holloway, Murray, Green, Scofield, Mayling, Walker, Napier.

West Ham XI: Arnold, Daly, Flaherty, Fisk, Vetterlein, Van Egmond, Cho, Svitkova, Leon, Thomas, Lehmann.

Everton are playing some neat stuff when they get the ball, but Ann-Katrin Berger hasn't been forced into a big save yet. The visitors' latest move sees Nicoline Sorensen combine with Ingrid Moe Wold down the right before crossing towards the near post, but Berger does well to gather the cross.

Sevecke and England are both back on the field now and play resumes.

Both players are back up on their feet but Sevecke looks to have come off worst.

Chelsea 1-0 Everton

Both going for a high ball, Everton's Rikke Sevecke and Chelsea's Beth England have clashed heads accidentally. Both clutch their heads in agony and go down. That looked painful.

Back at Kingsmeadow, Chelsea get the second half under way.

Following this lunchtime's early kick-off at Chelsea, we'll still have three games to come (all times GMT):

• Birmingham v West Ham (14:00)
• Brighton v Aston Villa (14:00)
• Man Utd v Arsenal (14:30)

Manchester United boss Casey Stoney says the government's labelling of girls' football academies as 'non-elite' has "got to change".

Boys' academies are permitted to carry on training during England's lockdown, but girls cannot, even if they play at the same clubs.

Grassroots sport across England has been banned for four weeks.

"I class our regional talent club and academy as 'elite', because they're at Manchester United," Stoney said.

"They're training to become professional players, just like the boys are, but unfortunately it's not seen that way in terms of governance.

"That's one of the things that has got to change. It's really disappointing, but it's the classification of the academies.

"Legally we can't contract a player until they're 18 in the women's game, but then they have to be classed as grassroots until they're on a contract, so that in itself is a conflict."

It's been a good game - this has been a really good watch.

We've sung Sandy MacIver praises but [the goal] came from a mistake, trying to clear her lines, and they've been punished for it. What a great finish. She [Ji so-Yun] still had a lot to do.

It's tough for the goalkeeper but she'll be disappointed with the mistake.

Chelsea lead at the break thanks to Ji so-Yun's clinical finish, but there have been chances at both ends.

Chelsea should be 2-0 up but Pernille Harder somehow heads narrowly off target from around two yards out at the far post from a corner. You expected the net to bulge there!

It looked like she was offside. Is it rustiness? Is it good goalkeeping? I'd question whether, when Beth watches that one back, she might make different decisions.

A long ball over the top finds Beth England in acres of space. She rounds Sandy MacIver but takes herself too far wide, tightening the angle, and her shot hits the side netting.

In case you missed it, here's another chance to see Ji so-Yun's opening goal, as the South Korea playmaker took full advantage of a mistake from Everton keeper Sandy MacIver.

Izzy Christiansen has a chance for the visitors as she meets Hayley's Raso's good cross, but the England midfielder flicks a first-time shot straight at keeper Ann-Katrin Berger.

A well-worked Everton moves from back to front leads to a chance for Nicoline Sorensen to cross from the right, deep by the corner flag, but her delivery flies high beyond the far post.
