    Ella Toone has been given a different role from Lauren James who she has replaced in the team for the last few matches.

    She is there to make space for her team mates and link up with the likes of Alessia Russo and Lauren Hemp.

    Jess Carter gives the ball away and Australia are quick on the break, racing forwards with four, five yellow shirts through the middle.

    It's shipped out wide to Ellie Carpenter but her cross is over everybody in the box.

    A let-off for the Lionesses.

    England are trying to give their fans around the world something to cheer about. A ball over the top is just too long for Lauren Hemp, skidding off the turf.

    Sarina Wiegman came out to have a quick chat with the fourth official following a challenge on Rachel Daly.

    She's been fairly calm so far in the dugout, spending most of it sat down, though she's occasionally come out to the edge with her hands in her pockets.

    I'm a united fan and have always referred to Toone as Tenacious T. I feel like she'll be the difference today

    Karen Bardsley

    Credit where it is due, that is a great take from Mackenzie Arnold.

    A floated ball into the box, which is what you love to see as a keeper, and she is nice and early off her line.

    Proactive, progressive play from the Australian goalkeeper.
