    She knows where the goal is, she has an basolute killer insitict. The ball falls to her, a fantastically well struck ball across the goal.

    A great finish and a great pass from Georgia Stanway to find the feet of Alessia Russo.

    She strikes it past the outstretched foot of Catalina Pérez. What a fantastic finish from Russo, huge!

    Once again England capitalise on poor individual defending, but what a way for Russo to react like you want your centre forward to do.

    Full credit to Russo, she picks her spot and buries it. That's just reward for the work she has put in.

    England just starting to look a bit more with it and Georgia Stanway sets up Alessia Russo with a low ball through the legs of Daniela Arias.

    Bit of luck with how it reaches the forward but she makes no mistake with a slotted finish into the bottom left corner.

    England have got one toe in the semi-final. Maybe half a toe.

    Catalina Perez looks in a spot of bother here. She signalled immediately to the bench after that free-kick for a bit of treatment.

    Looks like she's fine to continue, though.

    Catalina Perez mistimes the jump and she could have set herself better but what a well worked set-piece from England.

    It's Alex Greenwood who slots it down the side to Lauren Hemp, Hemp gets a decent ball across but the keeper gets her hands to it and it's a good job she did because Rachel Daly and Lucy Bronze were lingering, waiting to pounce.

    Alessia Russo caught around 25 yards out and England have a free-kick.

    Lucy Bronze, Georgia Stanway, Lauren Hemp and Alex Greenwood are having a chat over the ball. They fancy it here.

    How long before we see a change here? It's gone a bit flat.

    England have put in one good performance all tournament so far and that's when our so called World Class midfielder Walsh was out injured. Every match I've watched she provides little protection to the defence and no threat going forward. What am I missing?

    I fear it's a controversial statement, this, Neil.

    Another corner. This time it's Alex Greenwood who loops one in to the far post and Rachel Daly leaps highest to head it straight into the hands of the keeper.

    How long before we all start getting very, very nervous?

    We've had lots of dance and rock music at half-time and crowd participation to get fans back in the mood for another half of football.

    How are the nerves?

    Corner to England. Georgia Stanway sends it in and Millie Bright surges forward to meet it. Her shot is deflected wide and they'll have another go.

    This time it's got a bit more height on it and it comes out to Kiera Walsh but her effort is way over the bar.

    Ramirez, the amount of ground she covers is exceptional. I have really enjoyed watching her this tournament, she has been superb.

    Colombia are getting forward straight away and Leicy Santos is driving.

    Mayra Ramirez is running the channel just in behind Millie Bright and pulling Jess Carter across so that's something England need to watch.

    Colombia on the front foot in the early exchanges of this second half, full of confidence.

    Mayra Ramirez in early action as she pelts away from Jess Carter but her right-foot effort smashes against outside of the post.

    Earps will be disappointed because she should not be getting beaten from there.

    Wiegman has got to change it, we don't look like we are going to score. You go to a back four, or put Daly up front because we need goals.

    Away we go for part two of this quarter-final. No changes for either side.

    Some of the talent on display, Alessia Russo, Lauren Hemp.

    Mayra Ramirez is the real catalysis for Colombia, she needs to be watched and taken care of.

    But I do see England going on to progress and continuing to dominate in the second half.

    Earlier, Australia booked their place in the semi-final after a monster penalty shootout against France, which they won 7-6.

    Incredible stuff from the hosts and they await the winner of this one. Have a watch of how they did it...

    The timing is brilliant for England's goal. It's scrappy but it's a goalkeeping error.

    She has to do better with her handling but England were alive to it.

    England have to stay patient. We knew Colombia would try to frustrate them. England have to keep moving the ball around and create chances.
