    England 0-0 Northern Ireland

    Nikita Parris gets the better of Demi Vance down the right and cuts the ball back to Fran Kirby.

    It's goalbound, but again a pile of green shirts get in the way.

    Rachel Daly is down receiving treatment after being caught by Marissa Callaghan.

    She's now back on her feet but doesn't look overly happy.

    We'll have two minutes of additional time.

    Sarina Wiegman is back on the England bench talking "how to score" with assistant Arjan Veurink.

    Yeah, we can't believe it's still goalless either!

    The break in play has slowed things right down after a frantic 15 minutes.

    Can Northern Ireland hold out until the break. We've five minutes to wait and see.

    She's back on her feet and looks like she will try to carry on.

    One to keep an eye on.

    Play is stopped as goalkeeper Jackie Burns is down and needing treatment.

    We're not entirely sure what happened as play was around halfway but she looks in some discomfort.

    England are utterly dominant but it's still 0-0 - how? I have no idea.

    Sarina Wiegman looks calm on the touchline but she is urging her players to move the ball forward quicker.

    Millie Bright sends a long, searching diagonal ball which is overcooked but Wiegman nods her approval.

    England are getting so much success down both flanks. It's another Hemp delivery and McFadden throws herself in front of Ellen White to stop it going in.

    Millie Bright then fires the corner over from 12 yards.

    Northern Ireland are defending in numbers and defending well, but I've no idea how it is still goalless.

    At some point Leah Williamson will laugh. She's doing everything but score. It was inches past the far post that time.

    Williamson looks up and shakes her head. The England skipper is desperate for a goal.

    And another! Alex Greenwood jogs out of defence unchallenged and decides to have a pop from 25 yards.

    Again it's a brilliant strike but the crossbar comes to Northern Ireland's rescue.

    This is taking the mick now.

    Alex Greenwood whips in a brilliant ball towards the front post and Williamson is there to flick it on.

    It's a good header but it's going just the wrong side of the post and Parris can't reach it to convert from two yards.

    Leah Williamson again... I swear she has won every header in the Northern Ireland box.

    Either side of Jackie Burns and that was in.

    Blimey, how did that not go in?

    It's ANOTHER corner, and Williamson wins the initial header, it's flicked on through the mass of bodies and Burns makes a good reactive save to push the ball away.

    White is there but again Burns gets an arm in to avert the danger.

    It's chaotic but it's effective.

    Sarah McFadden slides in to cut out another England cross but it rolls towards the edge of the area.

    Leah Williamson, who could have had a hat-trick, races in but hits it over.

    You know when you play football at a leisure centre with your mates and you rent a third of the pitch?

    This is exactly what is has been like in the opening 25 minutes with England camped in the NI half.

    Here comes another England corner. The pressure is building.

    Jackie Burns had to be alert on both of those occasions to deny Ellen White, who is chasing that all-time scoring record of course.

    Interestingly, Leah Williamson has been the mark on several England corners so far and has come out on top.

    This just about sums everything up so far.

    After her good work before, Burns gives the ball straight to White, who races towards goal but her strike is right at the NI goalkeeper.

    Williamson then heads over from the resulting corner.

    You feel something has to give soon.
