    It's breathless stuff so far. Worthy of a World Cup final.

    It took 80 minutes for Spain's semi-final with Sweden to get going. This final has taken less than 20 minutes. It should be 1-1. This is anything but tight and cagey.

    Salma Paralluelo should have scored at the near post. Big save from Mary Earps.

    Spain 0-0 England

    Oh it's end to end now!

    Huge chance at the other end as Spain break down the left and a perfect cross comes in.

    It's Salma Paralluelo on the end of it and she misses her shot from five yards out. How has she not scored there?!

    Alba Redondo is there on the follow up and it's a huge save down to Mary Earps' left and she is absolutely screaming at her defenders to get the ball away from the goal.

    Fantastic passage of play from England.

    Excellent movement in and around the area, and then set from Daly for Hemp to be able to step onto it and strike the ball.

    So close, agonisingly, just hits the bar.

  7. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15 mins

    Spain 0-0 England

    Barcelona midfielder Keira Walsh is brought down by Mariona Caldentey in the middle. England have a free-kick and they work it forward.

    Rachel Daly lays it off for Lauren Hemp who hammers her shot off the crossbar. She was in acres of space and it was a lovely whip with her left foot.

    So close!

    Spain are trying to get the better of Rachel Daly on this left hand side of the England defence, often going three versus one.

    Redondo, Bonmati and Batlle combining well.

    But England are just not letting Spain settle.

    Cata Coll with beautiful goalkeeping. Takes that at the highest point, well shielded by her defenders. The standard of goalkeeping has delighted me at this tournament.

    Alex Greenwood whips in the corner but it amounts to nothing and Spain have the chance to break.

    Lovely technical passing to get out of trouble and Salma Paralluelo is away down the left but there's a wall of England defenders in the way.

    Not much between these two so far.

    Given away in the middle of the park by Spain and Lucy Bronze is all over it.

    She sends it to Lauren Hemp threads the ball through to Alessia Russo, not quite as precise as some of the other passes we have seen this tournament and Russo can't get anything on it with two defenders on her back.

    It's going to be a very close game.

    Spain love to possess the ball and will try to control the game but let's not forget that England will want to control the game in that way as well.

    Both sides have elements to their games that are very similar, it will be about who can control the transition. Spain struggled with that against Japan, having 70% of the ball but being punished on the counter.

    England have added the ability to to mix it up, go direct when needed, be patient when needed. I think Spain may struggle more than they would expect.

    Salma Paralluelo clips Millie Bright's foot and the England captain isn't happy with that. Paralluelo wags her finger at the referee as if to say 'no no'. England win the free kick, though.

    Jenni Hermoso has dropped a little deeper from her usual position to accommodate Salma Paralluelo.

    Spain 0-0 England

    Ona Batlle, who recently left Manchester United for Barcelona, has made a bit of a nuisance of herself down the right-hand side so far.

    It means Rachel Daly is having to work quite hard down that side.

    Alex Greenwood did really well there. England defended that very well and Rachel Daly steered it out for a goal kick.

    Dangerous from Spain.

    Aitana Bonmati picks it up in midfield and drives forward, Alba Redondo sends in the cross but there's a bit too much on it and Rachel Daly guides it out of play.

    Early signs of the threat Spain can bring.

    We know how sharp Lauren Hemp is, she has proven it. One of England's top goal scorers.

    Hemp has been brilliant all tournament.
