    The Netherlands are offering something now in attack.

    They have another corner.

    I didn’t expect to see that much space around Vivianne Miedema. The ball comes in at a lovely hight for a diving header. Maybe she took the wrong decision.

    That was it, that was the chance the Netherlands have been waiting for after soaking up huge French pressure in the first half. If they could ask the ball to fall to anyone unmarked inside the box it would be Vivianne Miedema. It was a tricky volley, but you'd have banked on her hitting the target.

    Vivianne Miedema will be disappointed with this, a player of her quality in that position. It's a difficult technique, she has to really get her leg over the ball but she can't do that. But it is a chance.

    Big chance!

    Vivianne Miedema's first opportunity is a gimme for a player of her quality. She is central and eight yards out as the corner swings over everyone and to her. She has a France defender near her but should still get her volley on target.

    A rare Dutch attack yields a corner.

    These Dutch forwards have no chance against Wendie Renard in the air.

    They keep chipping free-kicks in when they get the chance but the France centre-back is there every time to nod away.

    It's like having the BFG at the back.

    I think Melvine Malard just needs to take the pace out of her runs into the box. A lot of the time the deliveries are coming past her.

    If she was a little more patient, several of those opportunities might have fallen at her feet.

    Vivianne Miedema continues to toil.

    Her team-mates are pumping passes in her direction but she's having to charge down blind alleys. Just what you need after a bout of covid.

    There is Cascarino, fashioning something from almost nothing.

    She beats two players for pace and crosses into an area for Kadidiatou Diani. A Dutch defender just manages to get a touch on the ball to prevent the finish.

    France as a collective know what is expected of them. As the ball goes out to the left side, Cascarino is on her bike - she knows she's got to go. That's just lots of training.

    The band is still plugging away, keeping the crowd active.

    Got a big engine on them, that trumpeter.

    A bit better from the Netherlands. Too slow, though.

    They have players in good positions, but Victoria Pelova isn't direct enough and France have rallied to block her shot by the time it comes.

    Well, the Dutch needed to do something. Is Jill Roord going to inspire them? Her creativity could bring Vivianne Miedema into the game more.

    Have those 15 minutes done the Dutch any good? Or will they have to face another 45-minute onslaught?

    Hopefully, France have changed into their shooting boots.

    The Netherlands have made a change. On comes Jill Roord for Lineth Beerensteyn.

    They look lost and they fight, but working on their own. They are not working together. I don't see a plan. A lot has to change in the second half, but we're still alive.

    Van der Gragt is very strong in the air and physically very strong. She saved at least two goals.

    This game is just brilliant. The tempo is great and the technique is there to match. I’m probably late to the party, but if this is typical of women's football, sign me up. Fantastic stuff.

    The Netherlands have been fantastic. The blocks they've had to put in and defended for their lives in that 18 yard box.
