Sam Kerr picks up the loose ball on the edge of the Philippines box.

She makes an impressive run pas the defenders to get her shot away but it ricochets off the red shirts and they eventually get it clear.

By jings Sam Kerr, way to get the heart pulsating.

The Bayern Munich midfielder recovered well after making a real hash of it on the edge of her box.

Nerves we didn't need...

Despite Scotland's dominance for most of these opening ten minutes, Philippines fashion themselves a chance after Sam Kerr loses the ball. She manages to get back, slide in and smother the chance.

Brogan Hay and Lisa Evans link up well down the right-hand side and Evans floats one goalwards but Katana Norman in the red of Philippines is there to head it away.

Lisa Evans makes a fantastic run to the byline and plays a lovely ball to the back post. Claire Emslie is there but there's just too much on it and Philippines have a goal-kick.

Under way in the Pinatar Arena!

Flower of Scotland suitably belted out, almost ready to go in Spain.

Just in case anyone thought I was over exaggerating on the gale force winds out here, a seat has been blown off.

Baltic. I was promised a game in the sun. This is just like being at Gayfield...

Speaking before the game, Scotland boss Pedro Martinez Losa told BBC Scotland: "It's about reconnecting, building confidence.

"The competition has been hard on us in many aspects in the last few months but it is also about the players believing.

"Camp from camp, you get the same squad pretty much, but not all the players are the same because they come in different moments of form.

"But we really wanted to create a good atmosphere so the first step when they arrive here is that they are happy, and after that, everything else can come."

Don’t be deceived by the sun, it’s blowing a gale out on the Spanish south-east coast.

So much so, we’re yet to take our seats as the desks are flapping about the place.

Instead, we’re taking in Scotland’s final pre-match preparations before they kick off a massive 2024 against the Philippines.

Might not be much of a ball game with this wind, though. Gonna be some battle to keep the ball under any sort of control…
