    England look comfortable. Australia aren't creating much.

    Yet.

    Cheers every time Australia attack now. Their latest fizzles out after a poor pass from Hayley Raso.

    That Steph Catley and Caitlin Foord combination has just not got going.

    Lucy Bronze is playing so high up and is not allowing the ball to get into either of them.

    It's really hampering what Tony Gustavsson's team can do.

    Incredible stuff Geraldine!

    Back to the action and England are being patient with their build-up, trying to stretch the hosts.

    Every corner, every throw-in and every tackle the Lionesses win is greeted with boos.

    That works for England, it means they're doing something right.

    England are pushing high up now, not allowing Australia to settle. Good work from Lucy Bronze earns England a throw-in in a promising spot.

    Alex Greenwood's corner goes over everyone and straight out for a goal kick.

    Watching semi from the shores of Ullswater in the Lake District where I’m really meant to be watching my daughter in a kayak on the lake!

    I’m an Aussie watching mid flight from Manchester to Athens. Tough crowd onboard but not giving up hope! Go Aussies.

    Better from the Lionesses as Millie Bright and Georgia Stanway put in two good tackles before Ella Toone wins a corner with a break down the right.

    Lovely ball from Mary Fowler, maybe Caitlin Foord should have hung in the air a little bit longer.

    There was no pace on it.

    A deserved lead for England so far, they have been exceptional in their pressure and aggression.

    They have really capitalised on the spaces within this Australia back line.

    Another Australia chance. Mary Fowler fires in a pacey cross but Caitlin Foord's header is straight at Mary Earps.

    Will be interesting to see how long Sam Kerr will last.

    Kerr is obviously rehabbing from the injury and she has been dying to get out here.

    Keira Walsh is the latest England midfielder to lose the ball. The Lionesses need to calm things down a little.

  16. Postpublished at 48 mins

    Australia 0-1 England

    Australia come forward through Ellie Carpenter. Her loopy cross seems to hang in the air forever before dropping to Sam Kerr.

    But the forward doesn't make a great contact with her header and Lucy Bronze lets it trickle into the hands of Mary Earps in the England goal.

    England start well, confidently knocking the ball around on the right.

    That is until they give it away to Hayley Raso. But the Lionesses quickly get back to deal with any danger.

    I think we can expect more of the same from both teams.

    It is just going to be a case of when an opportunity comes, can you be clinical and take it?
