England 0-0 USA
Few nerves here maybe. This is a pretty big occasion for these players.
Keira Walsh gives the ball away in midfield and Lindsey Horan latches onto it to attempt a counter-attack but it's wasted.
Beth Mead drives forward the other way moments later and again passes straight to the feet of an opposition player.
England will want to get a bit more control in the game here.
England 0-0 USA

Lauren Hemp is definitely playing as the number nine.
England 0-0 USA
An early effort on goal from the USA. Sophia Smith makes a run into the box and fires a shot off but it's straight into the hands of Mary Earps.
England 0-0 USA
Here we go then.
Ego, pride, bragging rights.
Let's go.

There's something magical here tonight and rightly so.
The atmosphere is electric, it's absolutely deafening in the ground.
Now it's over to England to give a performance worthy of it.

To show solidarity with the USA for victims of sexual abuse, Wembley's arch has been lit in the colour teal between 19:45 and 20:00 BST.
Both squads are now gathering in the middle of the pitch before kick-off in front of a banner saying "Protect the players".

Former Lioness Wendy Owen speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's Juliette Ferrignton.
"Tonight there [the Lionesses] able to celebrate Euro 2022 because everyone here will be giving them a celebration.
"And I'm really pleased to be here as one of the original 1972 Lionesses, to celebrate our 50th anniversary which was a match against Scotland.
On meeting Serena Wiegman's side, she said: "They were clapping us! When we arrived at the side of the training pitch, they turned around, stopped what they were doing and applauded us. That was fantastic!
"I was glued to the TV for the Euro's and I was screaming. As soon as they won, my phone started going mental and it was people I knew congratulating me. I said "what are you congratulating me for, I didn't do it?' and they said 'yes you did, you started it off.' That felt really special."

A special moment as the teams head out of the tunnel, welcomed by the guard of honour of the squad from 1972.
And now for the national anthems...

The original England women’s squad from 1972 are on the pitch and have formed a guard of honour for the current team.
One of them has just touched the European Championship trophy and they are now jigging about to the music blaring out at Wembley.
After feeling ignored for many years, the pioneers are rightfully part of the celebrations and history.

In 1971, the FA rescinded that ban and in 1972, England women played their first full international against Scotland.
The players from that team have fought for a long time to earn the recognition they deserve for representing their country.
Current England forward Beth Mead said it is "about time" the players of the past were recognised for paving the way for future generations of Lionesses.
It's been a long time and coming and it will be a very special evening for all of those involved.
Image source, Getty ImagesTonight is also a special night of recognition for 50 years of England women's teams.
Members of England's inaugural team of 1972 will line up with the current Lionesses prior to kick-off and more than 100 former internationals are expected to attend the fixture.
The 1972 team played in England's first full international against Scotland - a 3-2 win in Greenock, near Glasgow.
Those players have never received a cap for representing their country and that will change tonight when they are awarded a bespoke England cap as part of the evening's celebrations.
Not long to go before the players will be heading through these doors.
Exciting stuff...

It's another sell-out crowd at Wembley tonight though the bad weather and the disruptions to public transport might affect the crowd. There was a record 87,192 in attendance for the Euro 2022 final so that's the number to beat.

Izzy Christiansen
Everton and England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live
The USA will be worried about England and rightly so.
It's not always about having brilliant individuals, it's about having a collective and that's what England have.
It's not just England fans who are enjoying the hype around the Lionesses and women's football in Europe.
United States head coach Vlatko Andonovski said he pushed for his side to play England in a friendly after experiencing the "buzz" of Euro 2022.
The last time England stepped foot on the pitch at Wembley, this happened.
Any excuse to to relive these moments...

England manager Sarina Wiegman to ITV Sport: "We've thought a lot about it, all three players up front have played No 9. Hemp has speed, can get behind defence, we tried it in training and it went really well.
"We had some options, but we thought this was the best starting line up for this game."
On Leah Williamson missing: "Of course we are going to miss her, but it is an opportunity for other players to step up."
On playing to a sold out Wembley: "It is a very good moment to play them, and is the best test we can have. After tonight we know where we are, then we have 10 months to prepare for the World Cup."

The stadium is filling up nicely now. Wembley Way was absolutely packed as I got off the tube at peak time! There didn't seem to be many inside when the players came out to warm-up but the roar that followed suggested otherwise. The USA players also got a good reception. They have a big following here it seems.
