    Jordan Nobbs an experienced, smart player stuck on the bench again. Should have been used in World cup especially when Walsh was injured, can't even get a minute!

    Oh no.

    Kirsty Hanson, who has been brilliant tonight, looks to be in some pain and discomfort here after a coming together with Lucy Bronze.

    Looks like a nasty one on her ankle and she is limping heavily off the pitch for some medical attention.

    We're not seeing enough forward momentum from England.

    Not enough players are getting on the ball and looking to play forward and positively.

    You have to say that since that change in formation England have actually been really poor.

    No outlet up front with Rachel Daly playing wing back and they've really struggled to create opportunities.

    Chants of "Mary, Mary, Mary" as Earps makes another save.

    She's been far too busy for England's liking tonight. Scotland have really tested the European champions.

    Accchhh, that just had to be caressed, wrapped, whipped, whatever you want to call it, from Christy Grimshaw.

    Anywhere bar down the throat of Mary Earps.

    Ooooh another chance for Scotland and once again it comes from Caroline Weir.

    Lisa Evans receives it out wide and cuts back for Christy Grimshaw, who can't quite get the connection she wanted and it's straight to the gloves of Mary Earps.

    Couple of changes to report as Lisa Evans and Amy Gallacher come on for Claire Emslie and Martha Thomas.

    Celtic forward Gallacher is making her international debut.

    How good is Caroline Weir? Some great touches, such a classy player.

    We've seen an increasing amount of long balls from England in this second half, with no one able to bring them down and hold the ball up top.

    It is coming straight back up the field at them, they are out of shape and Lucy Bronze is having to do a lot of work to cover that right hand side.

    England are causing their own problems.

    Rattled appears to be the word of the day.

    Here's another one: sluggish.

    If Hanson lashes that ball it goes anywhere, but she doesn't. She took the time to consider the finish and she was so unfortunate that the effort hit the bar.

    She has been the best player on the pitch in this second half Hanson, and you can see that in the play of her opposite number Bronze who has hardly gone forward. She looks rattled.

    England: Rattled.

    Crossbar: Rattling.

    Scotland are the better side here. This isn't convincing at all from England. That was some effort from Kirsty Hanson!

    Rachel McLauchlan sends in a decent ball and Mary Earps comes out of her goal to punch away.

    It falls to there's Kirsty Hanson, though, unmarked on the edge of the area.

    She goes for the volley and it floats over Mary Earps and clips the bar. She didn't quite connect with it I think it came off her shin but that would've been some goal.

    We haven't really seen Georgia Stanway much if at all, her name has barely been mentioned.

    We are used to seeing her be that conduit between the defence and the midfield, knitting the play together, but by and large she has been bypassed in this second half.

    Ohhhh what a ball in from Kirsty Hanson.

    Brilliant ball and brilliant glancing header from Alex Greenwood to clear it away with Claire Emslie breathing down her neck.

    Kirsty Hanson needs a minute after she takes a ball to the mush.

    Around 15 minutes to go, can England hold on?
