    Just wide!

    Uchenna Kanu uses her strength to fight for the necessary space and meet the corner, but her effort is off target. Another let off for England.

    There's too much football on the back foot from England now. Nigeria are taking this game by the scruff of its neck and putting England under real pressure.

    Chloe Kelly and Bethany England have finally been sent out to warm-up.

    They're the first England players to leave the dugout since half-time.

    Assistant manager Arjan Veurink has his notepad out and is in deep conversation with Sarina Wiegman.

    Nigeria look the more likely to get that goal, you have to say.

    They have another corner.

    Nigeria’s organisation, physicality and speed seem to have the Lionesses struggling for ideas. Surely time for a tactical change and some fresh legs from Sarina.

    We scored 6 without Walsh and have really struggled to create anything in the 3 games with her. Maybe she restricts our forward players?

    We're now staring down the barrel of one goal in normal time being the likely winner here.

    It's tense.

    Why do England continue to play last seasons top scorer in the WSL out of position? Surely Kelly out wide and Daly upfront would be more effective?

    This game has got the Euro 22 QF all over it. England weren’t great against Spain, but saw it through! Super sub Tooney or Kelly anyone?

    Roars from the crowd as Oluwatosin Demehin turns neatly inside an onrushing England player. Her pass can't match the skill, though, as the ball goes straight out of play.

    Georgia Stanway looks to drive the corner into the six-yard box but in keeping with England's general performance so far, it doesn't work, landing on the roof of the net.

    Nigeria's turn to panic a bit at the back as England press.

    Lauren Hemp is the one to evetually have the shot, that loops off a Nigerian boot and on to the roof of the net.

    Feels ridiculous questioning Sarina with her record, but this isn’t working, still. Where are the changes? England, Kelly, Toone?

    Is there a footballing equivalent to swapping the bails over, England need a change of luck!

    Watching the BBC feed in a gym in australia. Trying to use treadmill till full whistle so hope it doesn’t go into extra time.

    Rachel Daly gets a free-kick from the referee, but she gets a bit lucky too. She was closed down too easily and it was only a clumsy tackle that stopped Nigeria potentially causing more bother.

    Anita Asante
    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    England need to play a lot quicker and a lot smarter, but you have to give credit to Nigeria because they aren't allowing England to play how they want to play.

    Now with Oshoala on the pitch Nigeria have that constant threat on the transition.

    England have struggled to play the ball through the thirds and bring Lauren James into the game.

    Lauren James finally gets some space to work in but she can't do anything with it on the left side of Nigeria's box. A lazy bit of dribbling invites a successful tackle.

    If England need any more motivation to kick into gear, the Mexican Wave has started in Brisbane.

    England need to stay sharp with their brains and their feet now Oshoala is on.

    Both teams need a hero.

    The front 3, although talented, aren't effective today. Beth England's hold up play could really help and surely we have to see Tooney soon!

    If England go out (and even if they don't) questions have to be asked over favouritism towards certain players who just aren't delivering.

    One straight off the training ground.

    Daly has it on to her right foot. That's why she's so frustrated because all the parts leading up to the move were correct.
