    Nigeria's plan so far has worked perfectly.

    After the change is made, Nigeria float in the free-kick but is harmlessly wide.

    A bit sloppy in terms of giving the ball away in dangerous areas.

    England get away with it after a poor cross in the end.

    This is dangerous play from England, giving the ball away on the edge of their own 18!

    England 0-0 Nigeria

    England having to dig deep here to keep Nigeria out.

    A cross from Toni Payne is smuggled away from goal before a foul gives Nigeria a free-kick to keep up the pressure.

    The Super Falcons respond with a second sub - Francisca Ordega on for forward Uchenna Kanu, who has been excellent.

    Asisat Oshoala's first real sight of goal results in another let off for England. She reaches a downward header on the edge of the box but blazes over.

    And now Alessia Russo meets a delivery into the box - this time from a free-kick - but she is deep and can't generate the power or precision to test the keeper.

    What has either team got in their locker in the last 15 minutes?

    What a ball in from Greenwood and a fantastic header from Daly. She gets up nice and early and it's a good, solid contact.

    Good reaction from Nnadozie, good save and well held [on the follow up]

    Rachel Daly has a free header but what a save. The goalkeeping at this tournament has been the best we've ever seen.

    Goalkeepers are saving their teams on a daily basis.

    That looked like it was it. That looked like it was the breakthrough.

    Massive save!

    Rachel Daly rises to meet the corner and power a header down and on target. You expect the net to bulge but instead the hero is Chiamaka Nnadozie, who gets down to save. Superb.

    England win a corner. Can they snatch something from this as we enter the last 15 minutes?

    Initially my thoughts were that this game was going to be won in the last 10-15 minutes because the pace would not be maintained by the Nigerians.

    But with so many stops and starts they are looking full of energy and looking better as the game goes on.

    This is a real task for both the team and the coaches up against a dominant Nigeria side.

    Mary Earps gets some fluids and then climbs back to her feet to carry on.

    For me this seems tactical from Mary Earps.

    I've been asked to do this many times as a goalkeeper.

    Just an attempt to break the Nigeria momentum here.

    England need some respite.

    Mary Earps gives them that by going down in need of treatment.

    Lots of instructions getting thrown out from the bench. It hasn't gone to plan so far for the Lionesses.
