    Esme Morgan loses the ball on the edge of the England box, but her recovery definitely makes up for it.

    She runs back and snatches the ball from Eileen Campbell with an excellent two-footed tackle.

    Alex Greenwood delivers the corner into a dangerous area, but there's a crowd of bodies on the edge of the six-yard box and nobody can get a proper effort away.

    Beth Mead spent most of her early career as a number nine, and she is probably the most natural goalscorer England have got.

    As soon as she cut inside on her left foot you knew what she was going to do, and she showed her quality in front of goal.

    It was a rare miss-hit from Alessia Russo but Beth Mead took advantage to stick the ball right in the top corner.

    Every time England get into the box - particularly when Lauren Hemp is on the ball - there is so much space.

    They are carving through the Austrian defence.

    It all feels very easy.

    A great finish to restore England's two-goal lead!

    Niamh Charles breaks free inside the Austria box and slides the ball across to Alessia Russo, who uncharacteristically gets the ball trapped between her feet.

    That isn't the end of the chance, though, and Beth Mead curls into the top corner when it falls towards her feet.

    That was speculative.

    England come forward after Austria misplace a pass in the middle, Alessia Russo has options on the other side but instead opts to shoot from a long way out.

    It lacks power and is an easy catch for Manuela Zinsberger.

    Austria have been poor at times in the opening half an hour but it just goes to show how important set pieces are.

    England will be disappointed with that, Virginia Kirchberger was left virtually unmarked and there was nothing Hannah Hampton could do about that.

    Austria were completely out of this game until they scored that, all of a sudden now will they get a boost?

    Chance! It's that classic Alessia Russo-Ella Toone combination, with Russo pulling the ball back on the edge of the area.

    Toone fires from range but hits her effort straight into Manuela Zinsberger's hands.

    Virginia Kirchberger (30 mins)

    Austria pull one back.

    It's their first corner of the game and they make it count. Virginia Kirchberger is waiting in the middle and jumps highest to meet the delivery, sending it past Hannah Hampton at the near post.

    England have been on top, but their advantage has been reduced.

    Alex Greenwood gets caught with the ball on the edge of the England box and, under pressure by Eileen Campbell, is forced to put it out for a corner.

    Austria have their first of the game.

    It's absolutely chucking it down here. England were training in the sunshine by the beach yesterday.

    Most of the England fans on the far side of the stadium, without any cover, have got up and left their seats to find shelter inside.

    Austria have managed to see a bit more of the ball in the last couple of minutes, but they've been unable to do anything with it.

    England are in control.

    It is far too easy for England. I'm disappointed with Austria, they are usually so much better at defending, normally so compact and hard to break through.

    With Ella Toone and Grace Clinton pushing high onto Sarah Zadrazil, it is giving Georgia Stanway all the time in the world to pick a pass, and she can hit a pass.

    England have gone to Spain for a warm weather training camp. It is raining in Algeciras.

    They've brought the weather with them.

    Austria haven't had much to say in the game so far, but this will go down as their first effort.

    Four goals and two assists for Tottenham in the Women's Super League, excelling on her debut for England after her performances warranted a call-up.

    Manchester United might be rueing loaning out 20-year-old Grace Clinton.

  20. 'Special moment for Clinton'published at 20:05 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February

    Really positive move from England, about six or seven passes until it is worked out wide to Lauren Hemp.

    The cross is not defended well by Austria at all once again, but Grace Clinton won't care. A special moment to get that debut goal.
