    Another let off for England as Geyse is away and in space down the right. She cuts the ball back but Leah Williamson reads the danger well to clear ahead of a Brazil player.

    Better!

    England force a save out of Leticia in the Brazil goal for the first time in this half as she is picked out in space on the edge of the box. She sizes up her shot before thumping a strong effort at Leticia.

    A rare attack for England as Jess Carter's cross is put behind for a corner. The set piece is played short before Lauren James sends the ball in but Kerolin clears.

    England are slowly grasping what they need to do, which is take the energy away from Brazil.

    And it's coming from one player, Keira Walsh.

    England are struggling to get out of their own half at the moment. Will Sarina Wiegman be making changes soon?

    What a fantastic save from Mary Earps, but that came from an really unnecessary transition in the middle of the field.

    Dallying too much on the ball, short of options.

    But wow, a huge hand from Mary Earps and the ball just kissed the crossbar on it's way down and out [of play].

    England scramble clear from the corner.

    The Lionesses need to sort themselves out, they are all over the place in this half and are lucky not to have conceded yet.

    Barcelona forward Geyse has been a threat all match for Brazil and that was almost brilliant.

    This is the test Sarina Wiegman expected England's defence to have though I'm sure she doesn't want it to carry on!

    Big save!

    A mistake by Ella Toone and suddenly the excellent Geyse is in. She thumps a dipping effort that Mary Earps does superbly to push over.

    Oh it should be 1-1!

    Geyse has been a constant menace so far in this half and she does well on the right before getting a cross in for Adriana, who is completely unmarked but she mis-hits her shot and England scramble clear.

    A big let off.

    The changes Brazil made [at half time] have made an instant impact.

    Adriana was fantastic in the Copa America run that this Brazilian team enjoyed. She is really unpredictable and varied in her approach, and isn't afraid to take on some long distance shots.

    Andrea is taking up some really advance positions up the pitch, and Geyse is really enjoying the pressure and encouragement.

    Bit sloppy from England in the second half. They need to get the crowd going again because Brazil have started to create some opportunities.

    This is like a completely different game. England are struggling to get out now with Brazil having successfully stifled their midfield.

    Geyse takes on Leah Williamson and comes out on top to get into the box but her low ball is stabbed away.

    Geyse is picked out by a throw on the right and she hooks a cross into the box but Mary Earps catches it.

    England haven't got out of the blocks yet.

    A change of personnel and formation appears to be working for Brazil as they continue to cause England a few problems early in this half. The ball is slipped through for Tamires on the left but her square ball into the box is cleared.

    Brazil make a couple of attacking changes for the start of the second half as Andressa Alves and Adriana are on for Lauren and Beatriz.

    Alves is straight into the action with a shot but Mary Earps makes the save.

    Can England get the second goal their first-half dominance deserved? We're back under way.

    You can see the difference in experience.

    The way this game started out, both teams were trying to probe each other and understand where the spaces were going to be.

    With this young Brazilian side you can see the difference in the fitness levels.

    With the movement off the ball from the Lionesses, it was becoming apparent that the Brazilians were really struggling to track their runners.

    Richarlison promised to host the Brazil team for a BBQ if they win tonight. Hopefully he hasn't stocked up the freezer with burgers and sausages in advance as that win is looking very unlikely at the moment.

    Still plenty of time for things to change, however.
