    In 30 previous Women's World Cup matches, Australia have never been involved in one which has been goalless after 90 minutes.

    They are keen that number 31 will not be the exception.

    From the corner Peyraud-Magnin punches the ball straight to Fowler but her volley is blocked by a wall of blue.

    Australia 0-0 France

    All Australia. A terrible pass from France keeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin goes straight to Mary Fowler.

    The Manchester City forward turns one defender but her shot is blocked behind for a corner off Elisa de Almeida.

    That could have been a lot worse for Les Bleues.

    Sam Kerr is warming up behind the goal to my left, in front of some very excited Aussie fans.

    When will manager Tony Gustavsson pull the lever and activate the Matildas talisman?

    Australia have started with the same intensity they finished the first half with.

    France suddenly look disorganised, unable to deal with their opponents.

    We go again and Australia immediately win a free-kick in a dangerous position. Right on the edge of the box.

    France have been the better side, they just need to tighten things up at the back.

    Witnessing a very enthralled Australian mother-in-law, Sian (currently in Cambridge)… She’s very tense, as the ‘tildas are not so much waltzing into the semis. C’mon Australia! Give her some peace of mind!

    Still a good buzz around Brisbane Stadium, the crowd reinvigorated by that late chance for Australia.

    This is superbly poised and warming up nicely, the next 45 minutes could be a classic.

    As centre-backs you're constantly looking at the distances between your other defenders.

    Australia have had too many gaps. Kadidiatou Diani's presence has been brilliant for France.

    Maelle Lakrar has been key for France. Set pieces have been really big for France.

    It keeps falling to Lakrar but Australia need to be better at getting to those second balls.

    Both Australia and France have now stopped the opposition from scoring a first-half goal in four of their five games, only Sweden (five) and Netherlands (five) have done this more often in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.

    No further incidents.

    Australia finished that half so strongly after France's early dominance. It's in the balance.

    One minute added on. Australia throw.

    All Australia now. Katrina Gorry plays through Mary Fowler but Pauline Peyraud-Magnin races off her line to cut the angle and keep out the striker's first-time shot.

    Australia are in complete control now. They don't want half-time.
