That was a BIG chance for Haiti and England have looked really sloppy at the back so far. We know Millie Bright is rusty and she looks it. Lucy Bronze has been heavily tested so far by Melchie Dumornay as well.

Roselord Borgella is a very dangerous player, she has a good left foot, a nose for goal and that is going to be a threat with that ball in behind into space or into feet.

Oh what a chance for Haiti!

Roselord Borgella is played onside by Alex Greenwood and she is onto a brilliant ball through the defence. Borgella breaks towards the box and has just Mary Earps to beat but drags her shot wide.

Great play again from Haiti, who are making the most of the limited possession they have, and a warning for England.

Lauren Hemp heads a cross back into the middle of the box before Georgia Stanway lashes a first-time shot high over the bar.

England try to build down the left but Haiti get numbers over to that side of the pitch and force the Lionesses backwards.

Really good start by Haiti, they are definitely not overawed by the occasion and they are sticking to their game plan well.

I'm enjoying the attack in terms of the aggression from this England team.

I'm also enjoying Kiera Walsh getting into advanced positions to really support that England attack.

Melchie Dumornay is back on the pitch and we are 11 v 11 again.

It's been a fantastic start for this Haitian team.

They are very athletic, very excited about being here and putting the right foot forward to represent their country and everything they have been through over the last while.

Melchie Dumornay, who scored 14 goals in 21 matches last season, is helped off the pitch but is able to walk and hopefully she will be fine.

As it is, Haiti are down to 10 players for now as England come forward again.

BBC Newsbeat has joined Rain on Me, an LGBTQ+ inclusive football team in Manchester as the Lionesses kick off against Haiti.

The squad is steeling themselves for England’s World Cup opener with pizza.

Fair to say the team is well up for it, with defender Olivia predicting a 3-0 thumping victory for England.

Big chant of "England" going around the stadium now. It's pretty clear which nation has more supporters here in Australia.

Oh no, this could be bad news for Haiti.

Melchie Dumornay, who has been a very lively presence in attack, is down on the pitch and in some discomfort. There's a break in play as she receives treatment.

There's a great feel out there on the pitch, really getting together to link up well in the midfield and bring Alessia Russo into play.

A good opportunity for England as they win the ball just outside the box and a pass to Chloe Kelly is cut out, Alessia Russo is onto the loose ball but her low, first-time shot is held by Kerly Theus.

England are growing in confidence and starting to play their game after a nervy first couple of minutes.

England will have a lot of opportunities but they must not get frustrated if they don't convert those chances straight away.

First shot on target as, following the England corner, Chloe Kelly sends an effort from range straight at Kerly Theus in the Haiti goal.

Lively start!

Ella Toone getting the crowd going early on with a few flashy touches. England need her creativity at this World Cup so that's an encouraging sign that she is full of confidence.

I think Chloe Kelly and Lauren Hemp will have a lot of joy down the flanks.

Just got to make sure that the quality of the delivery is right and Haiti will have a lot of defending to do.

England deal with the corner and then go down the other end of the pitch quickly to win a corner of their own as a cross is deflected behind.

Lucy Bronze rises highest to try and meet the delivery but the ball comes off a Haiti player for another England corner.
