    BBC Radio Scotland pundit, and former Scotland international, Emma Black is not holding back along from me...

    "England are rattled."

    Say it as it is, Emma.

    There is certainly some tension building among the home fans here.

    England 2-1 Scotland

    Cheeky little backheel from Ella Toone finds Lucy Bronze, who whips in from the byline. A Scotland head clears and it bobbles around in the box before Lauren James gets an effort off on the volley.

    It sails over the bar but that's a bit better from England.

    At half time I said that I was enjoying the game, even though Scotland were 2-1 down.

    I'm enjoying it even more now because Scotland are delivering a really good second half. There is no lack of belief within that side.

    And just in the last few moments they are looking the fitter and sharper side.

    Kirsty Hanson fouls Jess Carter just outside the box and England will have a free-kick.

    So far in this second half they've struggled to really make anything happen, though.

    Whisper it, but Scotland are ticking away quite nicely here and jusssttt about frustrating England.

    I reckon Pedro Martinez Losa will be the happier of the bosses down there.

    England trying to play out from the back and getting caught out as Caroline Weir has an opportunity.

    Scotland are really just starting to tick and England are making some uncharacteristic errors.

    The momentum has really changed in this game.

    It's not like Scotland are dominating just yet, but they are not being dominated, and that is the difference.

    Just the moment there where Bronze was closed down by two players near her own goal line, that led to the half chance.

    A Mexican wave of sorts is working it's way round the ground.

    Rather proud to share the a fair clump of Scotland fans didn't participate. Quite right, troops.

    England 2-1 Scotland

    Ufff dangerous from Martha Thomas who rises highest to get a good strong header on Kirsty Hanson's delivery.

    Thomas just can't quite direct past the gloves of Mary Earps, who gathers just inches in front of the line.

    It's intriguing that England are the first side to make changes here.

    It makes you think that Scotland have asked a few questions at the start of this second half.

  12. Wiegman switches up formationpublished at 21:04 British Summer Time 22 September 2023

    It's no surprise to see England switch formations here. The trusted back three, which Sarina Wiegman used so effectively at the World Cup, is back again as Rachel Daly moves over to left wing-back.

    Lauren James and Lauren Hemp will play more centrally up front as Ella Toone drops into midfield.

    Whoops.

    High boot from Lauren Hemp on Sophie Howard and Scotland will have a free kick.

    Karen Bardsley

    It seemed like Howard really just lost the flight of the ball there and also had no idea where Daly was.

    Daly really should have put that in the back of the net for England's third.

    Georgia Stanway releases Lauren Hemp but there's no one there in support of the Manchester City midfielder.

    England come again and this time Chloe Kelly puts a good cross in for Rachel Daly but the forward can't control under pressure.

    England 2-1 Scotland

    Scotland are certainly keeping their composure and building some good chances in this game.

    Kirsty Hanson loops one in but there's no one there to collect.

    Dangerous ball in from Claire Emslie but Millie Bright is there to block and steer the danger away from the goal mouth.

    Bit heart in mouth.

  20. 'Little moments of complacency from England'published at 20:55 British Summer Time 22 September 2023

    Karen Bardsley
    Former England and Manchester City goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

    There were elements of complacency in some moments in the first half from England, and those little details need to be secured.

    It is nice to have so much confidence in your teammates, as Carter does to leave Bright one on one there, but you have to be ready if things go wrong.
