  1. 'A massive threat to bring on'

    England 0-0 Nigeria

    Karen Bardsley
    Former England and Manchester City goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Millie Bright knows darn well how good Oshoala is.

    Technically sound, a great finisher, a massive threat for Nigeria to bring on at this stage of the game.

  2. England 0-0 Nigeria

    Rachel Daly gets herself into the box to meet a cross from the right. Her volley isn't clean and the ball spins wide.

    It was a nicely worked little move from the initial throw to create that chance.

  3. England 0-0 Nigeria

    Huge cheers for Nigeria's superstar Asisat Oshoala. The two-time Champions League winner with Barcelona had an impressive impact when she came on against Australia. England have looked shaky and this won't help.

  4. SUBSTITUTION

    England 0-0 Nigeria

    Here comes the star player for Nigeria.

    Ifeoma Onumonu is off and Barcelona's Asisat Oshoala is introduced.

  5. Nigeria hit the bar for the second time

    England 0-0 Nigeria

  6. England 0-0 Nigeria

    Uchenna Kanu has been a nightmare for Rachel Daly down England's left-hand side.

    In contrast, Lauren James and Alessia Russo have barely got on the ball.

    Final passing from the England girls is appalling. Bronze, Daley, Carter all guilty of it. Nigeria still making the better chances and look fitter and sharper. We could well follow the USA out here.

    The England vs China game kicked off literally at the same time as my wife and I’s wedding, prompting floods of updates through the ceremony as each goal was banged in…. Are we jinxing things from our honeymoon now as the Lionnesses are on the ropes?

  8. 'Best chance for England'

    England 0-0 Nigeria

    Rachel Brown-Finnis
    Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC One

    That is a wonderful delivery from Alex Greenwood, pinpoint.

    The pace on it, Russo just needed to get a clean contact on it. That is the best chance of the game for England.

  9. England 0-0 Nigeria

    Chance!

    Alessia Russo charges in to meet a great, whipped free-kick from Alex Greenwood. She's too fast, because the ball is behind her when she gets there and she can only head wide.

    England's first decent chance for a good while.

    We can breathe again. Goodness me that was so close.

  11. England 0-0 Nigeria

    Nigeria are quicker to most balls and stronger when they get hold of it.

    They come at England again and send over a low cross from the right that Ifeoma Onumonu can't convert under pressure from Millie Bright, who just does enough.

    Bacon and egg roll demolished. Just need the luck that comes with it now!!! If England fans didn't know this would be a close game, they do now!!

    Sat in a cafe eating a full english with my mum and the game on. Getting more nervous by the minute. Come on lionesses!!

  13. 'England need to stretch Nigeria back line'

    England 0-0 Nigeria

    Karen Bardsley
    Former England and Manchester City goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Nigeria struggle to manage their defensive line when there are balls played in behind.

    We haven't seen much of that from England yet.

    It would be good to see Russo or more Hemp pushing that line back, and the other sitting in that number ten space with James.

  14. England 0-0 Nigeria

    The corner is swung over and met by Ashleigh Plumptre, but she is moving away from goal and can only glance her header off target. A team-mate fails to keep the ball in.

  15. England 0-0 Nigeria

    Only Spain (5 times) have hit the woodwork more often at the 2023 Women's World Cup than Nigeria (3).

    The Super Falcons continue to drive forward. They have a corner.

  16. England 0-0 Nigeria

    Uchenna Kanu is doing a fine job on top for Nigeria. When the ball is sent up there, more often than not it sticks. She's giving the England defence plenty to be concerned about.

    Karl: Analysts saying what I’m saying. Need movement and no better player than Ella Toone

    Anon: Russo sloppy and ineffective. Get Chloe Kelly on.

  18. England 0-0 Nigeria

    Poor pass. Rachel Daly is found in acres of space on the left but her pass towards Lauren Hemp is too heavy and runs through to the Nigeria keeper.

  19. England 0-0 Nigeria

    Emma Sanders
    BBC Sport at Brisbane Stadium

    That's twice Nigeria have hit the crossbar... Both times there's been an awkward silence by the majority of the England fans behind the opposite goal.

  20. England 0-0 Nigeria

    Nigeria have been really good. But they will be wondering how they are not ahead.
