Lauren Hemp just allows the ball to sneak out of play before she can cross, ending another promising attack.
Mary Earps in the England goal is an onlooker at the moment.

'Lucy Bronze should have squared it'

We've got a little lull now. The first of the game, really. England just enjoying a bit of possession and their lead as the half ticks towards its conclusion.

Everton and England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveEngland look very organised defensively and in attack; they've won the first contact almost every time at corners and set-pieces every time and looked strong and dominant. Fran Kirby is doing well at mopping up the second balls and keeping England safe.

Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC OneLucy Bronze should have had a shot. Pull the trigger!
In some ways the Austria boss will be the happier manager. It could have been more ruthless.

'Zadrazil is starting to pull the strings'published at 20:37 British Summer Time 6 July 2022
England 1-0 Austria
Image source, Getty ImagesSarah Zadrazil is occasionally putting her stamp on the game now. She's a player with heaps of quality who plays at a very high level with Bayern Munich domestically, and she's starting to have a bit of influence on this game and pull the strings, receiving the ball on the half-turn. She's actually got on the back of the shoulder of Georgia Stanway a couple of times and that's what I'd be wary of when playing Kirby and Stanway in those number 10 roles: leaving Keira Walsh isolated.

It is taking all manner of last-ditch tackles and interceptions to keep this England side at bay now.
Beth Mead's angled cross almost finds Lauren Hemp in the box but the Austrian keeper is out to claim just ahead of the England forward.

Some of the England build-up play is lovely. A few times, though, they've just failed with the final pass. This time Beth Mead sees her forward ball cut out with Lauren Hemp bombing on.

Ellen White punches the air after she slides in to stop an Austrian defender clearing. Leading from the front. Top work.

Another cross from Lauren Hemp is aimed towards Ellen White but this time it floats over the forward's head.

Karen Bardsley
Former Manchester City and England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 LiveWe've seen a lot of combination play and mixing it up from England, and it's nice to see some intricate play from the back from them. You can really exploit Austria's left-back [Hanshaw] going in behind - it's just a case of being clever about whether to run off the shoulder or go inside. I'm really happy.

Lucy Bronze is having a fine game. I mean, it is what she does.
She is perfectly placed to head clear a wicked curling corner from Austria. Fran Kirby completes the clearance.
There is a composure about England that we've not always seen. A clinical aspect to their play. It's business time.

It feels a matter of time before England carve out another clear opening and take advantage. Lucy Bronze charges through the middle and England have a numerical advantage but Lauren Hemp is beaten trying to skip around her marker.

Big chance!
It is all England, who come forward down the left with Lauren Hemp crossing for Ellen White to flash a header just wide of the far post.
Pretty much everyone in this ground thought that far side of the net was going to bulge.

Austria are pinned back in their own half now. Beth Mead and Lucy Bronze combine down the right but they can't quite fashion a cross.
