Boos as Mary Earps takes an age to take a goal kick.
It's that time for England now.

BBC Sport at Stadium AustraliaJust as Australia were really starting to pile on pressure, England respond.
That's now three goals in the tournament for Lauren Hemp - she's built a really good partnership with Alessia Russo up front.

'Such precision from Hemp'published at 12:29 British Summer Time 16 August 2023
Australia 1-2 England
Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC OneIt looked oh so simple.
Clever run from Lauren Hemp and the two defenders who don't deal with the ball over the top.
Such precision from Hemp.
The highs and lows of football.
'Hemp has been phenomenal'published at 12:29 British Summer Time 16 August 2023

Former England and Manchester City goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 LiveLauren Hemp has deserved that, she has been phenomenal.
She capitalised from that misjudgement from Carpenter to take a snapshot into the bottom corner. Arnold no chance.

GOAL - Australia 1-2 Englandpublished at 71 mins
Lauren Hemp
ENGLAND HAVE THEIR LEAD BACK!
It's route-one stuff as centre-back Millie Bright goes long. Australia don't deal with it and Lauren Hemp gets in between two defenders before prodding the ball into the bottom corner.
The perfect response.

Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC OneReally clever header from Alessia Russo, just agonisingly wide. Beautiful ball from Lauren Hemp to find her strike partner.

Australia 1-1 England
England come again as Lauren Hemp's cross finds Alessia Russo in the box, but her header is placed narrowly wide of the target.
It might have even clipped the outside of the post.
Noise levels rise for Kerr screamerpublished at 12:26 British Summer Time 16 August 2023

BBC Sport at Stadium AustraliaI didn't think the noise levels could get any louder in the stadium but they certainly did when Sam Kerr scored.
The fans are willing the Matildas on to victory here. It's game on.

Australia 1-1 England
England are inches away from retaking the lead! Lucy Bronze goes clear down the right and her cross is mishit, wrong-footing Australia keeper Mackenzie Arnold but it just doesn't drop in.

No signs of a Sam Kerr calf injury now.

Emma Sanders
BBC Sport at Stadium AustraliaYou should hear the noise in here. It's gone wild. Sam Kerr scored a volley against Mary Earps, chipping her in the process, in the final game of the WSL season in 2021-22 that was almost identical to that strike. She looks really up for it now.

Adrenali: Carrying the nation on her back. Take a bow, Sam Kerr!
John: Arrrgh. Great goal though.
Emma: Wow. That was quite something. Sam Kerr is ridiculously good! England need to go again!! Arghhh!

A very difficult corner for England keeper Mary Earps to deal with. It's heading in but the stopper manages to claw the ball away.
England have their backs against the wall.
'What a script Kerr has written for this tournament'published at 12:23 British Summer Time 16 August 2023
Australia 1-1 England
Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC OneI thought one of the best strikers against one of the best defenders in Sam Kerr and Millie Bright, who is going to come out on top?
Look at that. That is simply unstoppable. She just cuts it on to her right foot. She has a little look.
What injury?
That just absolutely flies.
It takes a little nick of Millie Bright's knee but it was going in anyway.
Simply sensational. What a script she has written for this tournament.
