    HT: England 8-0 Latvia

    Those eight first-half goals means England have now scored 41 goals and conceded none during their Women's World Cup qualifying campaign so far. And we are only halfway through the Lionesses sixth game...

    The assists are coming from all over the pitch, it's great to watch. Beth Mead and Lauren May Hemp are switching sides, the defenders are struggling to mark any of these players.

    That was a lovely ball in from Beth Mead on this left-hand side.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 19:47 Greenwich Mean Time 30 November 2021

    England 8-0 Latvia

    Referee Veronika Kovarova doesn't add any injury time at the end of the first-half. She puts Latvia out of their misery.

    Lauren Hemp

    It. Does. Not. Stop!

    Lauren Hemp comes up with her second goal of the half and second ever goal for England.

    Again it's another well taken header. She contorts her body to nod it home. Nice finish.

    She scored a few last times these two nations met, now she has got in on the act with a fine low finish.

    England 6-0 Latvia

    Arta Lubina denied Bethany England a great chance to get among the goals. It's a wonderfully timed tackle to take it off the striker's toe.

    England 6-0 Latvia

    Lindsay Johnson
    Ex-England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Latvia have gotten a little bit tighter and closer to the England players, particularly around the box, they're not giving England as much time.

    Hopefully for them they can continue in that vein but I'm not sure how long they can keep England out for.

    England 6-0 Latvia

    This half can simply be summed up as a game of attack versus defence.

    England have controlled 81% possession and had 27 shots at goal. Ten of them have been on target with six going in, of course.

    Latvia have not remotely threatened.

    England 6-0 Latvia

    Corner number five for England. Latvia have managed to keep England out since the 23rd minute, but they have been put under merciless pressure.

    Latvia aren't able to clear the initial danger from the corner and Millie Bright ends up heading off target from an Alex Greenwood cross.

    Carl: Don’t think you're going to be able to keep up Andrew with all these goals flying in! Amazing achievement for White, class class class.

    Errol: If England get a penalty, I hope they let Mary Earps take it.

    Cheers, Carl. I have been smacking the keys on my laptop like mad trying to keep up...

    Big chance for Ellen White to get her hat-trick.

    She rises highest to meet a lofted cross from Beth Mead. White, however, fails to keep her effort down and sends it well over.

    This is the longest England have gone without scoring tonight. That's 10 barren minutes.

    This would have been something special, if Georgia Stanway managed to get a better connection on her volley.

    Alex Greenwood clips a wonderful diagonal ball across to Stanway on the right. She lunges, gets a foot to it but fails to get any sort of control on her shot.

    Lindsay Johnson
    Ex-England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    It's been brilliant. The level of intensity from the England players, the quality on the ball and the press when they haven't got the ball.

    If they do lose the ball, which isn't often, they're very vocal and quick to tell each other what they think about it.

    Ellen White is looking to play the role of provider now.

    She has room to exploit on the right and tries to find Bethany England at the front post.

    The ball is ballooned high by a covering defender, but England still manages to get a head on it. Her effort, however, goes harmlessly off target.

    The scoreboard was showing 6-0 while it was 5-0. Beth Mead is just helping the operator out by scoring the sixth...

    Bethany England is still waiting to get amongst the goal.

    Again she goes close, sending another header just wide.

    That's one of the easiest goals Beth Mead will ever score, she just had to get here head to it and it's in the net.

    Really well-worked goal from England, Latvia are just not able to get near the ball.

    Beth Mead

    Beth Mead has her hat-trick and we have only had 24 minutes.

    Lauren Hemp is the provider this time, with Mead scampering in at the far post to head home.
