9.21 p.m.  BST 21:21

67 mins The Bronze straight, double crosses head over to England with pressure on the far post.

        9.19 p.m.  BST 21:19

66 minutes England also make some changes. Beth England and Rachel Daly after, Ellen White and Jess Carter away.

        9.17 p.m.  BST 21:17

63 minutes This is not new, but Lauren Hemp will become a superstar. For a 21-year-old it is outrageously good.

        21:16 BST 21:16

62 min Double change for Northern Ireland: Kirsty McGuinness and Chloe McCarron replace Rachel Furness and Lauren Wade.

        21:15 BST 21:15

If Hemp’s first was accidental, it was well received. Williamson rushed forward and slipped a middle ball towards Heb, who made a dynamic run into the field from the right. Barrows who stretched could not cut it and Heb made a round of Burns before hitting the ball into the empty net. Updated at 21:18 BST

TARGET! Northern Ireland 0-3 England (Cannabis 60)

Lauren Hemp takes second!

        9.11 p.m.  BST 21:11

57 minutes It’s strange to say that in a competitive sport, but I suspect Northern Ireland will be happier than England if it ends 2-0. They have to work so hard defensively.

        9.07 p.m.  BST 21:07

53 minutes: Herpes blocks Wade! Northern Ireland responds almost immediately. Wade receives the ball in D and scans a shot on the turn that drives away from Herpes, diving low to her left. I think this is Northern Ireland’s first shot on goal. Updated at 9.08 p.m. BST

        9.06 p.m.  BST 21:06

Bronze forcefully passes Vance and Burrows on the right and slides the ball into the area. White and Mead lost it, but Thun went too far to overtake Burns emphatically.

        9.03 p.m.  BST 21:03

49 minutes Cannabis came out of Fernes, who was happy not to be booked. The referee agreed with one last warning. England have exchanged large-scale players, with Mead now on the left and Hep on the right. Updated at 9.04 p.m. BST

        21:00 BST 21:00

Burns blocks White from 46 minutes into the first minute of the second half. He was found in the area by Stanway, but Nelson met to ensure that White did not have a clear shot.

        8.59 p.m.  BST 20:59

46 minutes Peep peep! Northern Ireland starts the second half. No change from either side.

        8.44 p.m.  BST 20:44

Half time: Northern Ireland 0-1 England

Peep peep! England fully deserve their lead, even if Lauren Hep’s goal was accidental. Northern Ireland defended with remarkable determination, but the occupation was a struggle.

        8.42 p.m.  BST 20:42

45 + 2 minutes New opportunity for Ellen White, who executed the header from the tempting cross of Bronze. McFadden did enough to postpone it.

        8.41 p.m.  BST 20:41

45 + 1 minute straight cross by Carter with a header by White. She did well only to get her noggin on the ball as the cross was behind her.

        8.37 p.m.  BST 20:37

43 mins Northern Ireland goalkeeper Jackie Burns has suffered a back injury. This does not look good. Updated at 8.38 p.m. BST

        8.36 p.m.  BST 20:36

41 minutes: Opportunity for hemp! Bronze loads away from Vance on the right and lifts a deep cross led by Heb from a few meters. He was under pressure from Magee, but it was still a good opportunity.

        8.34 p.m.  BST 20:34

40 minutes Northern Ireland would take the half now. It was a tiring 40 minutes, they went largely without the ball, and a second goal before the break would destroy them.

        8.31 p.m.  BST 20:31

36 minutes England immediately wins the ball back. Williamson chases a cross into the crossbar, where White’s shot bounces off McFadden. Excellent defense. I thought White got the finishing touches, actually, but was given a corner.

        20:30 BST 20:30

36 min Northern Ireland can not hold the ball. Cannabis, who was her usual threatening self, wins another corner for England.

        8.29 p.m.  BST 20:29

33 minutes In Group B, Scotland are 1-0 behind Spain at half time thanks to a penalty by Jennifer Hermso.

        8.26 p.m.  BST 20:26

30 minutes Nice play by Vance, who beats Bronze and crosses the line to free Wade. But Wade …
