    England 0-2 Australia

    Another good delivery from Chloe Kelly from the left-hand side, no one can quite get on the end of it but it comes out to the onrushing Georgia Stanway who hammers a shot off but can't get it on target and it fires wide.

    England have been better in the last 10 minutes or so since the arrival of Jess Park.

    Last chances for England as Chloe Kelly whips a deep cross over the top and forces a fingertip save from Mackenzie Arnold.

    We'll have four minutes added on.

    England 0-2 Australia

    The Australian defence have been absolutely solid.

    Jess Park does well down the left-hand side and cuts it back for Alessia Russo who can't get the ball out of her feet to get a shot off.

    Hayley Raso is booked for a challenge on Chloe Kelly.

    England 0-2 Australia

    Australia have a free-kick and Katrina Gorry sends it in but Mary Earps comes out to claim and looks to try and crack on and get something out of this game.

    Sarina Wiegman has never been in this position before with the Lionesses. England have never gone behind by two goals during her tenure.

    Time for Australia to make a change and on comes Clare Wheeler for Cortnee Vine, who needed a bit of help hobbling off the pitch.

    Well this is another interesting change. Jess Park is coming on for Jess Carter.

    England 0-2 Australia

    Alessia Russo gets in a good position and tries to turn and get a shot away.

    But the Australia defence is once again a solid wall and Russo can't get through.

    England have really struggled to get Keira Walsh onto the ball in this game and that has been a big problem for them.

    England have come away from what they do best tonight. They aren't playing their one and two touch football.

    They have fallen into the way Australia like to play, and it's not worked.

    Esme Morgan gives the ball away in the middle of the park and Ellie Carpenter latches onto it.

    She releases Sam Kerr but the forward is miles offside.

    That is where you want Rachel Daly, and she will be fuming because she knows she should be scoring that.

    A fantastic downward header, but she just puts it wide of the post.

    That's the first real sniff she has had.

    It's been a really composed, patient performance from Australia.

    England have struggled for intensity and chances. It's not the same Lionesses team we have become accustomed to watching under Sarina Wiegman.

    England 0-2 Australia

    As close as England have come in this half.

    The cross comes in and Rachel Daly pops up with a superb header in the middle of the box but will be disappointed not to have buried that in the bottom corner.

    It goes wide and she knows she should've hit the target.

    Gilly Flaherty
    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I was worried before kick off about England's left-hand side, just because of that lack of relationship between Esme Morgan and Jess Carter.

    The ball takes a deflection off Leah Williamson, and I think if it doesn't Mary Earps saves it. It sent her the complete opposite way.

    Australia have looked dangerous when they are attacking and they have punished England.

    GOAL - England 0-2 Australiapublished at 21:11 British Summer Time 11 April 2023

    Charlotte Grant (67 mins)

    Just as England were getting back into this, Australia show just how dangerous they are.

    Sam Kerr sends in a stunning cross from the right on the counter and Charlotte Grant pops up at the far post with the header.

    It takes a big deflection off Leah Williamson which sends Mary Earps the wrong way.

    Long way back for England, now.

    England 0-1 Australia

    Australia have twice in the last few minutes broke away quickly and are just showing how dangerous they can be on the counter-attack.

    Katrina Gorry did well a few moments ago and this time Sam Kerr bursts forwards. They are just lacking a bit of end product.

    What has helped Rachel Daly this year is that her club manager Carla Ward made the statement at the start of the season, 'She is my number 9'.

    Before at Houston Dash she played as a forward, then when she was on loan at West Ham she played as a right wing-back.

    But she is Aston Villa's number nine and top goalscorer now.

    That's a very interesting move.

    Rachel Daly could play up top with Alessia Russo in a 4-4-2 formation but it looks like she's dropped straight into midfield, as a straight swap for Ella Toone in the number 10 position.

    Chloe Kelly picks up the ball and goes for the spectacular from around 25-yards out.

    The Lionesses have just upped the ante a little.
