  1. goal

    GOAL - Northern Ireland 0-2 Englandpublished at 20:45 British Summer Time 15 July 2022

    Beth Mead (44 mins)

    Lead doubled.

    This is what England do, once they bag the first they go on a roll.

    Northern Ireland fail to clear a corner and it drops for Beth Mead.

    The Arsenal forward chops the ball onto her left peg, before a low strike - which deflects off Rachel Furness - nestles in the bottom corner.

    Kenny Shiels has his head in his hands.

    At times you think there is a back six for Northern Ireland with Laura Rafferty dropping so deep at times. Kenny Shiels has proved his worth time after time in how he has set this Northern Ireland team up.

    This place is on its feet. What a composed finish. She doesn't put any power on it, just sees where the gap and it is absolute precision. She just lifted it over the defender and Jackie Burns had no chance. Perfection from Fran Kirby

    You could say it's cruel to Northern Ireland because maybe they've could've held on until half time. Fran Kirby gets that half a yard, shapes it with her right foot and we all know that Fran can do this.

    There's only so much NI could do about that.

    First time effort and it's a brilliant goal.

    Austria 1-0 Norway

    Austria almost double their lead but Julia Hickelsberger-Fuller's 16-yard drive is saved by Guro Pettersen at her near post.

    Norway haven't had a shot on target yet.

    The chances were coming for England. Lucy Bronze's header, Ellen White's shot that just went wide and that effort from Georgia Stanway. But you felt it needed to be a bit of quality to unpick a frustrating Northern Ireland defence. That is what Fran Kirby gives you - quality, and bags of it.

    Fran Kirby (40 mins)

    Breakthrough for England!

    And what a stunner it is.

    Lauren Hemp sees her shot blocked by Rebecca Holloway once more but the ball drops outside the area.

    It's Fran Kirby who latches on to it, side-footing a precise strike into the top corner past the reach of Jackie Burns.

    Northern Ireland's resistance is finally broken with five minutes to go to half-time.

    When you look on paper, Norway should be winning. But the way Austria have played off the ball, they've been excellent. So well disciplined. I've been so impressed by Billa, not just the goal, which was excellent, but her all-round play.

  10. CLOSE!published at 20:40 British Summer Time 15 July 2022

    Northern Ireland 0-0 England

    Stunning football from England, cutting Northern Ireland apart at the back.

    Fran Kirby turns inside then has the calmness to roll the ball across the box for Georgia Stanway to smash a shot at goal, but Rebecca Holloway is stationed in the right place to make the block on the goalline.

    From the corner, Millie Bright sends her header wide of the far post.

  11. McGuinness 'adding defending to her game'published at 20:37 British Summer Time 15 July 2022

    I have said in previous games about how Kirsty McGuinness has added more solid defending to her game and she did really well there again, not once, but twice, to get the block in.

    Northern Ireland 0-0 England

    Northern Ireland causing problems for England again.

    A sublime left-footed pass from Kirsty McGuinness picks out the run of Lauren Wade, who is forced out wide and although she goes round goalkeeper Mary Earps, sends her shot into the side-netting from a near impossible angle.

    GOAL - Austria 1-0 Norwaypublished at 20:37 British Summer Time 15 July 2022

    Nicole Billa (37 mins)

    Austria take a fully deserved lead in Brighton.

    Nicole Billa runs into space behind Norway's defence and heads in from Verena Hanshaw's lofted ball into the box.

    Norway need two goals to progress now.

    Austria 0-0 Norway

    Norway keeper Guro Pettersen has definitely recovered from that injury as she makes a crucial save.

    Nicole Billa bursts into the box and hammers a low shot across goal which Pettersen gets down to tip away.

    Jackie Burns has been cool and composed so far, the Northern Ireland goalkeeper skirting off her line sharply to collect the ball on the edge of the box before Georgia Stanway can get her toe on it.

    That is an unbelievable chance. A perfect ball, Lucy Bronze gets across her marker and she will be absolutely kicking herself that she hasn't opened her account for the Euros. We have seen her score so many key goals.

    Austria 0-0 Norway

    There is quite a delay as Norway keeper Guro Pettersen gets some treatment on an injury but she's eventually fine to continue.

    None of the three keepers in the Norway squad had won a cap before this year. First-choice Cecilie Fiskerstrand is injured.

  18. CLOSE!published at 20:33 British Summer Time 15 July 2022

    Northern Ireland 0-0 England

    Best chance of the night for England.

    Beth Mead clips a perfect free-kick to the back post, Lucy Bronze rises and arcs her neck muscles towards the ball but sends her header wide.

    This Northern Ireland team have come here today to cause an upset and you can tell that - they are so up for it. The only way England are going to score a goal at the moment is through a bit of magic or through NI tiring.

    The NI team are getting tight and not letting England get on the ball - they know what England's strengths are. It's a magnificent opening 30 minutes from NI and England need to up it if they want to get in this game.

    Half an hour gone, Northern Ireland and going toe to toe with England and are keeping the tournament favourites at bay.

    Can they take it through to half time?
