    Scotland are being absolutely dismantled here.

    This is humiliating. Still 35 minutes to go. Thirty-five.

    A reminder that England trailed the Netherlands by SIX POINTS at one stage on Friday. Now they're ahead of the Dutch on goal difference.

    This is bitterly disappointing.

    There was a wee bit of hope that Scotland could spoil the party here after a decent showing in Leuven and competing in Sunderland.

    Scotland are way, way, way off the mark.

    Not a million miles away from a sixth.

    Fran Kirby swings a boot at a cross and it loops wide.

    It was brilliant play down the right hand side from Stanway.

    You think she's not going anywhere but she perserveres, gets to the bye-line and gets a dangerous cross in.

    Kirby then drifts in unmarked and is in the right place to tap the ball in.

    But it all came from the Stanway run.

    Poor, poor defending in the middle of the box. Sophie Howard is nowhere to be seen and neither is Jamie-Lee Napier, and Kirby is there with acres of space to tap it in.

    Fran Kirby

    It's five!

    Georgia Stanway makes it to the bye-line and drags one into the Scotland box.

    There's no home defenders to be seen and Fran Kirby nips in to bury a fifth.

    Neil: If Beth Mead had been available for the World Cup, I am sure that the Lionesses would have won it.

    Emma Gregory: Quite the half from the Lionesses. These ladies are simply incredible.

    Lauren James is flying with so much confidence for Chelsea at the minute and she is bringing that to England.

    She is coming inside a lot and leaving that wide area for Niamh Charles to exploit, and is instead taking up those inside areas and causing a lot of problems.

    On the edge of the box she had no doubt but to take the shot on, the last player Scotland want over the ball in that position.

    Four goals from four shots on target.

    Ruthless.

    Simply nowhere near good enough from Scotland.

    Only away to the Netherlands had they failed to compete in this Nations League campaign, but this is way worse than that.

    Ridiculously outclassed.

    Blimey.

    Talk about ruthless. There's barely been any celebrating from the England players after these goals, they are fully focussed on the job and Scotland look completely rattled.

    England have done their job so far, they just went for it.

    We saw some glimpses from Scotland, some good pressing actions. But ultimately England knew that they had to score goals and they have got on and done that.
