    Latvia have a brief sniff of a counter-attack as England have almost the entire team in their half.

    But it's shortlived as Keira Walsh gets back quickly over on the far side.

    Alex Greenwood's cross then falls for Ellen White at the other end but the England striker nods it wide. What a chance!

    A nice routine.

    Oooft.

    Fran Kirby cuts inside in the box, leaving the centre-back on the floor in the process.

    She finds Ella Toone, who immediately whips it over to Bethany England, but the striker skews it wide.

    It did come at her fast!

    It's another one for Tooney!

    England work it really nicely down the right with Beth Mead picking out Fran Kirby in the box.

    Kirby selflessly tees up Ella Toone to her left and she strokes it into the bottom left corner.

    It probably should be 2-0!

    Lauren Hemp beats the full-back again but her cross isn't high enough for Ellen White.

    It falls for Fran Kirby but she rushes the shot and it's deflected wide.

    Chelsea boss Emma Hayes says it could be a "goals fest" on ITV and she's not wrong.

    England are going to get a lot of chances judging by what we've seen so far.

    Here it is!

    It took England just eight minutes but they have the opener.

    Lauren Hemp curls in a dangerous ball, it rolls past Ellen White, bounces off a defender and isn't cleared.

    Manchester United youngster Ella Toone picks it up and thumps it into the roof of the net.

    Two minutes in and England are already controlling possession just outside the Latvia box.

    It's lifted over the top for Ellen White but she can't quite keep it in play on the byline.

    England boss Sarina Wiegman, who praised the depth of England's squad on Saturday, said it has been "fun" to work with so much talent since taking over the role as head coach in September.

    "I was expecting some things but I'm excited by the willingness and the level of the training sessions - the average level of our team is so high and that's really exciting to work with.

    "I'm not surprised but it's so much fun to be around and to experience that."

    Here come the players for the national anthems. It looks very windy in Latvia!

    Poor Lauren Hemp is squinting as the rain smacks against her face. Think she's more of a tropical weather fan.

    England boss Sarina Wiegman said Beth Mead was "shining" when she scored her hat-trick at Wembley.

    "She's in a very good place at the moment and it's obvious she is a good footballer. She feels really good and showed that on the pitch and does in training and with Arsenal," Wiegman added.

    "I'm going to make an agreement that we do that every game - we bring on a player and they score three times! I'm just kidding, but it's really nice.

    "It's what you need to get to a higher level and win matches. It doesn't matter who scores, we just need to score, so when you bring on a new player, you maybe do something different and then it's really nice that we get a result with that."

    Sarina Wiegman was asked about pitch conditions in Latvia. She said she had watched the Netherlands' men's match a few weeks ago and England are aware it might not be the same standard as it was at Wembley.

    She hoped the players would get a feel for it in the warm-up. They have just wrapped up now so let's hope they're feeling sharp!
