Well... This is not going to be a calming experience at all.

Already clear signs that this is going to be an open game.

Lauren Hemp tries to drive into the box and goes down under what she feels is a shove in the back. Nope, signals the ref.

One chance at either end in the first four minutes. Beth Mead held her line perfectly. It [heading] is not her strength.

Chance! England's first.

Leah Williamson floats a cross to the back post where Beth Mead is positioned. She is marked but manages to get her head on to the ball only to nod it wide.

That's one decent chance each.

Frantic start. Mary Earps wants England to calm down. England are a possession-based team. Walsh is being marked out of the game. Asllani doesn't want her on the ball.

Sweden know Walsh is a crucial player for England. The one who sits in midfield and dictates. They have a player on her.

It should be 1-0. A great save by Mary Earps who sticks out a leg and saves with her left boot.

Keira Walsh makes amends, tackling a Sweden player on the edge of the box as the team in yellow and blue look to attack again.

It's all very frantic.

Oh wow, almost 1-0 Sweden inside 30 seconds!

Mary Earps has to pull out a crucial one-booted save to deny Sofia Jakobsson slotting the Swedes ahead. It all came from Keira Walsh being overloaded and robbed in midfield.

If they both play to their maximum we are going to penalties. It will come down to the substitutes. Who has got the best subs?

Four games down, hopefully two to go for England.

It's been semi-final heartbreak for three tournaments on the trot for the Lionesses.

Will this time be different?

The first last-four tie of Euro 2022 is under way...

Some good solid antheming that. The Swedish contingent in the stadium gave it a good go, but they've understandably been trounced by the rendition of 'God Save The Queen'.

Formalities done and we're about ready to rock and roll. Strap yourselves in...

Laura Nuttall, who has terminal brain cancer, hit the headlines last week when she ticked "graduate" off her bucket list.

She's due to tick off another when she watches England play Sweden in Sheffield in the Euro 2022 semi-final later.

BBC readers and listeners were inspired by Laura's story - but they weren't the only ones.

So Radio 1 Newsbeat reporter Jack Gray teamed up with the FA to get a special message to Laura.

If Plan A doesn't work [for England], it's not a problem because then you go to Plan B, C and D. There are not many teams in world football who go out with Plan A and it works all the time.

The game has evolved a lot now. Sarina Wiegman says 'we prepare for every scenario'. You have got to be ready to implement a different plan.

Wow, it is rowdy in Bramall Lane. This is a proper old school ground. The perfect setting for a game like this.

Sweden

Sweden boss Peter Gerhardsson on England being considered favourites: "To be favourite, that means what you have done. If you have done good things then you can be the favourite - and you have to handle it.

"I think it's better in time to be the favourite because then you have done good things. It is everyone's opinion, I accept everything.

"Sometimes when you're not performing well, the home fans can get on your back. It's not going to happen tomorrow, they will support England all the way.

"It's an opportunity for them to have the people here, naturally. In our heart we will play for [the visiting fans] and all of the Swedes sitting at home watching the game there."

England

England defender Millie Bright: "We're on a new journey. The youngsters have experienced big losses with their clubs so everyone has those experiences in different ways.

"Each semi-final is different. We want to keep building our confidence. I think our resilience in each game is growing every time, but we will fight from start to finish.

"We remain in our own little bubble. Everybody says the pressure is on us, but we stay focused on what we need to do to stay in the games."

The pressure of an international football tournament is immense, but watching your daughter play in one is also pretty nerve-shredding.

That's how Amanda Williamson, mother of England captain Leah, feels.

"With my hand on my heart, it doesn't matter what game it is, I struggle to eat, I'm really nervous and become quiet," she says.

But she tells Radio 1 Newsbeat that seeing everyone enjoy England's success brings "that little bit of pleasure".

"The noise in the stadiums has been amazing. You can't hear yourself think. So we just hope that continues," she says.

Sweden has everything to win today. They've not lost a game in 90 minutes since 2019 and they are ranked number two in the world but still they’re underdogs today. That suits Sweden. Now they can strike from behind and I think it’ll do them well. I hope we can feel some Swedish presence in the stadium. You couldn’t feel any Spain presence in the quarter-final.
