    That's a real, real sucker punch, especially after what looked like an awfy sure penalty from up here in the heavens at the Stadium of Light.

    Sore one to take... but it's another top class move and a fine finish from a world class operator.

    England have finally got the goal. They have been poking all half and Lucy Bronze is an extremely popular goalscorer in Sunderland!

    Lucy Bronze (40 mins)

    Lovely delivery into the area from Katie Zelem and Lucy Bronze is onto it.

    She gets herself into a great position, diving forward and heads home past Lee Gibson.

    Finally England have the breakthrough.

    Oops.

    A few choice words from Martha Thomas as she walks towards the Scotland coaching staff and gets ready to come back on the field.

    Fair to say she thought that was a penalty.

    It's a great battle out there between Kelly and McLauchlan.

    Time and again the Scotland defender is going out to meet the England forward knowing she is second best, because Kelly already has the run on her.

    But she is not giving up and has gotten a few great tackles in.

    England 0-0 Scotland

    Kirsty Hanson makes the run down the left but then doesn't quite know what to do with it as she's put under pressure from Lucy Bronze in the box and is forced to go backwards.

    Martha Thomas takes a bit of a shove from Millie Bright in the area and Scotland may think they have a case for a penalty there. Thomas is on the turf and needs a bit of treatment.

    Daly is brave and has that mentality that she will be first to the ball. She's not afraid and will do anything to get the ball into the back of the net.

    Given the quality of delivery from Zelem I'm not surprised that Daly has been a threat, and she will continue to be so from those areas.

    Rachel Daly has a go from range but it was perhaps a bit too ambitious.

    Replays are showing that disallowed goal again and I think that will certainly be a bit of a talking point from this match. England will undoubtedly be disappointed.

    England 0-0 Scotland

    Scotland have managed to weather the storm well and have created a few opportunities of their own.

    The latest sees Martha Thomas try to chip one over Mary Earps but it's a tame effort and easily gathered by the England keeper.

    Kirsty Hanson did everything right there.

    She kept the ball under close control and pinged it across the box. The ball was just inches away from Martha Thomas running in.

    Offfttt, that's another massive opportunity gone by for Scotland.

    Yes, I was rising up from my seat a little...

    Ooooooh.

    Scotland build a really promising opportunity, Kirsty Hanson gets on a run and slots through a teasing ball for Martha Thomas but she just can't meet the ball and it goes wide.

    Good chance.

    I think it's fair to say that decision did not go down well in the Stadium of Light...

    Lucy Bronze and Millie Bright both sprinted over to the referee asking for an explanation. Neither were satisfied with the one they got.

    Well, there's a cacophony of boos ringing around the Stadium of Light.

    Not from the band of Tartan Army supporters, mind...

    One has the feeling the visitors might have got away with one there.

    It's one of those you shout for in small sided games!

  16. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 26 mins

    England 0-0 Scotland

    It's not going to count!

    There's no VAR this evening but the linesman has deemed that Chloe Kelly was offside and interfering with play for the corner.

    Blimey. Back to square one.

    Well that is where you want Rachel Daly.

    Corner whipped in from Katie Zelem and it's an absolute bullet header from Daly, stunning.

    Hang on, England's celebrations have been cut short here - is it offside?

    Scotland have actually managed to weather the storm quite well, they just need to take their chances when they come.

    England could rue some of these missed opportunities if they're not careful.

    That was the best chance of the match so far and it was from Scotland.

    Mary Earps, who got a huge cheer when she went to collect the ball from behind her goal earlier, was equal to it as she so often is.

    That's where Scotland can be dangerous - when they find Caroline Weir in space. She usually buries them.

    Did I think Caroline Weir was once again getting the better of Mary Earps? Yes I did... that's who you want it to fall to.

    But my goodness, that's what happens when you face the best goalkeeper in the world.

    Scotland have to, though, take those big chances when they come... could be a rare occurrence.
