Former England midfielder on BBC OneWe’re creating chances. We just have to find the back of the net. Now the nerves are settled, we might see some more goals in the second half.
VAR was an offside checkpublished at 21:00 British Summer Time 6 July 2022
HT: England 1-0 Austria
So, we have had confirmation from the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOL) that the VAR check for the England goal was for offside and not to double check the goal-line tech.
The goal stood regardless, which is the main thing as far as England are concerned.

Alex Scott
Former England and Arsenal defender on BBC OneThey weathered the storm. Austria want to spoil England’s party. England grew in confidence into the game.
A lot of England’s play has come down the left. Our wingers come in and create problems for defenders.

Jonas Eidevall
Arsenal manager on BBC OneAustria have been very compact and aggressive in defensive organisation. But they’ll need to go forward in the second half which might leave more space. I think that will benefit England.

A lot of work still to do, though.

Huge save!
Austrian keeper Manuela Zinsberger produces a vital touch to clip Lauren Hemp's goalbound effort over the bar.
That could be absolutely crucial in this game.

Izzy Christiansen
Everton and England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveWe've seen a switch of wings between Beth Mean and Lauren Hemp, with Hemp coming onto the right to see how she can perhaps breach the Austrians. They've been very stubborn since conceding.

It's not just trickery and goals, you have to earn the right to play. Georgia Stanway underlines that with a hard but fair tackle in midfield to stop Austria forging anything meaningful.
'Feiersinger has been a stand-out'published at 20:45 British Summer Time 6 July 2022

Izzy Christiansen
Everton and England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveExcellent from Feiersinger there - tracking Lucy Bronze all the way back and winning her side a throw-in just as Bronze was about to cause problems. Feiersinger has been a stand-out on the pitch so far; she's athletic, technical and a leader.

England respond and Ellen White rises highest to nod on a cross from deep. She sends her effort wide of the post, though.

A rare Austrian attack briefly has England worried.
It needs another big header from Millie Bright to prevent Nicole Billa getting on the end of a cross from the right.

Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC OneThe last few minutes, England have changed tactic. Beth Mead and Lauren Hemp have switched sides. Hemp showed her burning speed but unfortunately it took a little deflection.
It's an uncomfortable scoreline, 1-0. England haven't been at their best - Wiegman will remind them of that at half-time
