    Sarina Wiegman will see this as a good test.

    They have effectively had two friendlies in this game, facing two different systems in each half and then a penalty shootout.

    She will find out a lot about her players now.

    It is never a bad thing to have some pressure penalty experience in a World Cup year. This will certainly have been a good test for England.

    They have had a better mentality in this second half Brazil, they have been a completely different team.

    They were experimenting in the first half with a back five and midfield three and were being run all over.

    But in this second half, they shut out England's best players, particularly Keira Walsh in the middle of the field.

    And they got a fully deserved equaliser.

    It's so disappointing.

    We're so used to seeing tidy collection from Mary Earps.

    She approached it at an angle, she was low but wasn't able to get her hips and shoulders around it.

    Alves

    Ignore what I just said!

    Brazil snatch an equaliser deep in stoppage time as Mary Earps spills a cross and Alves smashes home.

    You have to say they have deserved it based on this second half display. Are we going to penalties?

    There will be FIVE minutes of time added on.

    After an excellent start to the second half by Brazil it has become more even in the last 10 minutes or so and England will be hopeful of seeing it out now.

    Into the final minute but there's going to be a decent amount of stoppage time after a fairly lengthy pause in play while Lauren Hemp was down.

    Another couple of changes for Brazil as Fe Palermo and Gabi Nunes come on for Antonia and Ary.

    England also make a change as Lauren Hemp, who has taken a knock, is replaced by Brighton's Katie Robinson.

    Brazil have been much more of a threat in this second half but can't find the back of the net for an equaliser with time running out.

    England have been made to work hard which is how it should be against the ninth in the world.

    There are 83,132 packed into Wembley and they have been treated to an absorbing contest.

    The England fans are eight minutes away from seeing the Lionesses lift the Finalissima trophy.

    Pia Sundhage will be happy with the way her Brazil side started the second half.

    But I think it was even the offside from the corner that put a spanner in the works of the side's momentum. It allowed England to get back into the game.

    The substitutions from Sundhage were really impactful, but you can see England are starting to take over again.

    Brazil could be tiring now and England are getting more opportunities to run at the defence.

    A high ball is picked up by Chloe Kelly and she runs at the full back, getting into the box before trying to find Rachel Daly but Brazil deal with the danger just in time.

    This is better now from England as Lauren Hemp is away down the left. She crosses but the ball is headed away before it can reach an England team-mate.

    Rachel Daly runs clear after a great ball by Lauren Hemp. The substitute is one on one and lobs the keeper as she comes rushing out but it lands wide of goal. The offside flag then goes up anyway with Daly having just drifted beyond the defence.

    Every time I see her play she just gets more and more mature.

    I think part of that comes from her club manager Emma Hayes. Her understanding of that role gets better week on week.

    I think she will be a massive player for England this summer.

    Brazil continue to attack as they work the ball well down the left before Adriana crosses but she is unable to find a team-mate.

    Mary Earps is then booked for timewasting for England.

    Movement in the dugout but it is another Brazil change as Brazil send on forward Duda for midfielder Luana.

    They have just under 20 minutes to find an equaliser.

    Geyse has gone for the cut back there, but perhaps she could have kept on driving [forwards] and been one on one with Mary Earps herself.

    Another warning for England.
