England 1-0 Haiti
Watch highlights as Georgia Stanway's retaken penalty proves to be the difference in a narrow 1-0 win for England over Haiti at the Women's World Cup.
Right, let's focus a bit on England's 1-0 win over Haiti earlier on...
Denmark 0-0 China

Certainly in the final third, China have looked the more fluid, the more dangerous and the more energised side.
Pernille Harder has looked a little isolated up top for Denmark.
Denmark 0-0 China
Just the one shot on target in this first half, that coming from Zhang Linyan inside the opening 10 minutes and that being comfortably dealt with by Lene Christensen.
Denmark scored 40 times in eight qualifying victories to get here, but are yet to test China goalkeeper Xu Huan.
And that's the half.

With VAR nothing is being missed. Nowhere to hide.
But only three or four of eight penalties have been scored so far, so not great.
But nothing is missed.
Denmark 0-0 China
We've had a penalty in every one of the eight matches so far in this tournament.
No sign of continuing that trend yet, but Armando Villarreal in the VAR booth may well have a role to play later on. Maybe.
Denmark 0-0 China
Rikke Sevecke gets a deserved yellow card for a grab of the shirt of China's left winger Zhang Linyan, who is looking one of the brightest prospects in this match so far.
Denmark 0-0 China
Great skill from Lou Jiahui with a step over near the corner flag to completely fool a Danish defender and create space to swing the cross in.
But Lene Christensen does well to ensure the cross doesn't find a Chinese head.
Denmark 0-0 China
Janni Thomsen of Denmark needs some treatment after getting caught on the knee in a robust sliding challenge from Yao Wei, but our referee, Marie-Soleil Beaudoin, says it was fair, with not even a free-kick awarded.
Denmark 0-0 China
Denmark play England on Friday, 28 July with China taking on Haiti on the same day before China face the Lionesses in their last group match on 1 August.
It's already looking to be a very tough and tight Group D. Not much in it at all at the moment between the sides 13th and 14th in the world.
Denmark 0-0 China

Denmark are allowing China to have the ball at the back, with their centre halves, but they are shutting off the midfield and forcing them to go long.
Then when the Danish keeper recovers the ball, the side are looking to play out, and really stretch China down the wings.
Denmark 0-0 China
Rikke Sevecke looks to spring a Denmark attack from the halfway line, but the through ball has too much weight on it and easily gathered by Xu Huan.
Denmark 0-0 China
Arsenal midfielder Kathrine Kuhl gets a chance for Denmark and it falls to her 20 yards out.
She takes it on the volley, but it never threatens Xu Huan in the China goal and goes well wide.
Denmark 0-0 China

You feel with the height advantage that Denmark have across the team over China, they should be making those chances from set pieces count.
Denmark 0-0 China
After being on the backfoot for the opening 15 minutes, Denmark finally have a chance to put China under some pressure.
Pernille Harder has her shorts pulled by Zhang Linyan to earn a free-kick from deep. It is sent into the penalty area but then comes some good defending from Lou Jiahui, winning a header under pressure to earn a free-kick to end the threat.
Denmark 0-0 China
Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Two
China looking very comfortable with the ball, confident in their style of play.
They're playing it around the back line and midfield and look unfazed.
They're willing to wait for a chance to play the ball through the thirds, but they are also more than happy to go long too.
Denmark 0-0 China
It's an energetic, frantic, fast-paced pressing China side and they're causing Denmark a number of problems.
They earn three successive corners, Danish keeper Lene Christensen just about gets enough of a punch to deal with the first one, the second one is turned behind at the near post by a defender, with Christensen again just about clearing her lines with the third set-piece to give her side some much needing breathing space.
Denmark 0-0 China

Zhang has been the brightest of any player so far.
She picked it up in a lovely pocket of space there in front of the Danish defence, and drove forward well.
A decent strike too.
Denmark 0-0 China
It's been a very bright start from China. They have their second chance as Zhang Linyan drives forward and shoots at goal from the edge of the penalty area, but Lene Christensen is down quickly to get her body behind the ball and save the strike.
Denmark 0-0 China
Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Two
Neither team has been able to take control of the game so far.
The front two for China are trying to hold up the ball but they've not been able to make it stick as of yet.
