    Oh almost.

    Francisca Ordega runs in behind the England defence but she can't quite hook a shot on target before the ball skips out of play.

    It's going to have to be 100% all hands on deck for England. It's going to be scrappy, it's not going to beautiful.

    But if they can get through these 120 minutes, they have a chance.

    Every team has a bad game in a tournament let's hope this is Englands'. Its about peaking at the right time....enough straws being clutched there?

    Having gone for a bicycle kick earlier in extra-time, Asisat Oshoala goes for another but fails to make contact in the box.

    England continue to dig in.

    No-one appeared to question bringing Walsh back in after what appeared to be a significant injury and disrupting the momentum from China… not a coaching masterclass this one. Holding out for super Mary Earps to save us in the shootout now. How often are we used to praying for that outcome…

    Mental fatigue from Lucy Bronze. England are very lucky.

    For me the shove from Lucy Bronze was a penalty. She is behind the player and is tackling off the ball. It was poor defending.

    Beth England is on, with Lauren Hemp off.

    Fifteen minutes to go that will feel like fifteen years.

  10. How long will James be banned?published at 10:47 British Summer Time 7 August 2023

    England 0-0 Nigeria

    If England do end up going through, they'll have to wait to see if Lauren James can play again in the tournament.

    Women's World Cup rules say any player sent off will automatically be banned for one game and "in addition, further sanctions may be imposed by the Fifa disciplinary committee".

    England have survived 15 minutes. Another 15 to go. Then the really tense bit starts. Yay.

    I think we are all hoping it doesn't go to penalties

    It is like watching a slow motion car crash, you know it isn't going to end well but you just can't look away!

    Anon: Possibly a controversial opinion here, but has Wiegman's main error been putting Keira Walsh back into the team ?

    Nigeria hit woodwork again, but the ball is out of play first as Asisat Oshoala charges away and then chips over a cross.

    There are so many situations to consider for Sarina Wiegman.

    If she makes any changes now she could potentially be taking off one of her best penalty takers.

    They don't seem to be playing for that at the moment but with 10 players it is something to consider.

    Look how stretched England's back line is. Lucy Bronze had to go so central.

    Nigeria are frustrated, they've not made more of their waves of attacks.

    If England do manage to get through to penalties here, they're going to need some serious mental fortitude. There are some very tired players out there and they've been battered in the 100 minutes we've had so far.

    Can we find a tired tackled in the box? Will we have some magic from Chloe Kelly or Lauren Hemp to find a trailing leg?
