Away we go for the second half.

Ahh yes, here she is.

Lauren Hemp is on for Lauren James for the second period.

No I don't have the lottery numbers, sorry.

England's strength on the wings is something to be very excited about.

Chloe Kelly and Lauren James have both been superb so far and Lauren Hemp is waiting patiently on the bench for her chance. Will we see her in the second half?

What we are seeing that we are going to come up against teams who play a low block and you need players who can take players out of the game like Lauren James. For me any time there is a one-two I am going to play her but she has got to stick her chance early in the first half away.

It is good to see her getting back in and sensing danger defensively as well and putting that work in because that was one of the criticisms levelled at her.

A bit of half-time reading if you fancy it...

"You don't win by wanting to win."

Kate Hays' words are simple but instructive. The Football Association's head of women's psychology is explaining the logic behind an ethos critical to a Lionesses' team who have swept all before them in the past year.

Since her appointment in October 2021, Hays, together with Wiegman and her coaching team, has instilled what she terms a 'how to win' culture in the England camp.

When Hope Powell was appointed as the England women's manager in 1998 the term 'high performance' wasn't as highly lauded as it is now.

Despite taking over at a time when the players still had to travel to matches and training without a bus, Powell insisted on a level of professionalism that would be a precursor to the 'how to win' culture instilled by Sarina Weigmann and her staff on course to European Championship glory.

Since Powell, England managers Mark Sampson - who led the Lionesses to a third-place finish in the 2015 World Cup - and Gary Neville - leading England to a second consecutive semi-final - have both employed psychologists to support the players.

But it perhaps came to the fore most significantly as England played host for the Euros. The imprints of the 'how to win' culture, which Hays first spoke to Wiegman about in early 2021, can be seen in the way Kirby and co responded to the expectations.

Speaking of Australia...

When Australia co-host the World Cup in July, almost half of the Matildas squad are likely to come from the Women's Super League.

It is 11 years since Australians first featured in the WSL, and many of the nation's current players have been moving to English clubs, including the likes of Steph Catley and Caitlin Foord to Arsenal, and Manchester City forward Hayley Raso.

But what's driving this influx, how is it affecting Australia's national side, and how popular is the WSL in the players' homeland?

Have a read here.

While we've got you here, a reminder that both England's women and men will take on Australia in friendlies in London this year.

The women's team will take on the Matildas at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium as part of their World Cup preparations on Tuesday 11, April.

The men will then take on the Socceroos at Wembley Stadium on Friday, 13 October.

Five days before facing Australia, the European champions will take on South American counterparts Brazil at Wembley in the first Finalissima - a game that has sold out.

"We are always looking for different challenges and we are really happy to play two more strong non-European teams," said England women's head coach Sarina Wiegman.

2-0 is a dangerous scoreline because you know that Belgium will be coming out in the second-half to go for it. Well they should at least be going for it because they are already behind.

I think England are playing such good football, think Sarina Wiegman will see if we can get a third goal before there is a substitution though.

Happy days for England. The Lionesses are in control at Ashton Gate and on course to retain the Arnold Clark Cup.

England are in a comfortable position now with that two-goal cushion. Leah Williamson loves a goal and she celebrated that one as if it was scored at the Euros. Belgium, who have some height in the team, have struggled to deal with these crosses.

Lucy Bronze does really well in the second phase she gets her head up and picks someone out at the back post, putting it on a plate for Leah Williamson. What a brave header it is as well.

Lauren James has fantastic feet and you could watch her all day. But now it is about the finer details and final decisions that she needs to have in order to play well against the better teams. But she will learn that the more international football she plays.

Lauren James picks the ball up on the right-hand side and sweeps into the middle on the edge of the area. She lets fly but lashes it over the bar.

The only thing I would say about England is that they are trying to play those intricate passes but perhaps it needs to go one more. Too often the ball is being given away with a pass that is perhaps not really on.

Oh that's a lovely ball from Lauren James, looped in from the right, but Julie Biesmans beats Alessia Russo to the header and sends it backwards.

Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly have linked up really well down the left-hand side for the Lionesses.

Toone attempts a little give and go but it doesn't quite come off for the Manchester United forward. Right idea, though.

Those wide areas are causing so many problems for Belgium with Chloe Kelly and Lauren James on each side. But England haven't looked as free-flowing as they did in the first game. There's been some misplaced passes and they haven't taken their chances... so far.

Chloe Kelly has been such a threat so far. She has been absolutely everywhere.

Boos from the crowd as Georgia Stanway gets in a tumble with Kassandra Missipo as they both go for the ball.

Missipo is not happy with Stanway's challenge and gives her a few words but the referee is having none of that.

Don't think there was anything in it.
