What a ball in from Alex Greenwood, lofts it over the defence and into the feet of Georgia Stanway.

A good save from her feet from Mackenzie Arnold but a great chance for Stanway.

The corner is scrappy but Australia eventually clear. What a start.

Brilliant ball from Alex Greenwood. Beautiful well timed run from Stanway. Immaculate contact. Brilliant save and positioning by Mackenzie Arnold.

England should be 1-0 up!

Straight down the other end Alex Greenwood dinks one over the defence for Georgia Stanway.

The midfielder has time, volleying goalwards but Mackenize Arnold sticks out a boot.

It may have been offside but the whole stadium were on their feet for that Sam Kerr chance and it will be one for Mary Earps to bank in her head. So far she's 1-0 up against the deadly goalscorer. It's a confidence boost.

The ball needed saving and it is a good block from Mary Earps.

Offside or not, that will give huge confidence to the England goalkeeper.

Sam Kerr will have been relishing the opportunity to go up against Mary Earps.

So many times in that rivalry, Kerr has come out on top. Great save from Earps.

A massive moment already as a ball over the top sends Sam Kerr clear!

There's no flag, the Chelsea star is one-on-one, but Mary Earps stands tall and keeps her out with her feet.

After the shot the move's given offside. It wouldn't have counted but what a statement from the England stopper.

It will be interesting to see if Ella Toone does anything different to get herself into the game. She has not been anywhere near as effective as we were used to seeing in the Euros.

You can see a really narrow approach from Australia.

Sam Kerr is leading the press centrally, with Mary Fowler following close behind - both of them getting around Keira Walsh and looking to mark her out of the game.

Hayley Raso on the left hand side is really tucking in and trying to stop the crosses coming in from that wing.

Now Australia have a go at playing the ball round the back. It's eventually launched forward but England win the first header.

It's tense and tactical. It feels like a semi-final.

Alex Greenwood has had the tournament of her life. Absolute ever present. She'll have to continue that form tonight.

Australia are allowing England's back three to have all of the ball. Both teams are still getting the nerves out of their system as Lauren Hemp overhits a pass for Ella Toone.

Laura: Listening to the Lionesses at work. I'm so nervous but COME ON ENGLAND. Someone's going to have to check all my orders after this!!

Jennie: Come on England!!!!

Charlie: Cometh the hour. Come on Aussies.

"Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi, Oi, Oi!"

The hosts have yet to get hold of possession as England play some nice football down the right.

England are going to love hearing those boos.

It is almost like Hero versus Villain out there.

The obvious match up tonight is specifically Millie Bright against Sam Kerr. What a heavyweight tussle that is.

England's Millie Bright launches the ball forward but the Australia defence deal with it well.

Keira Walsh is then late on Sam Kerr. Not a card but definitely a foul.
