Apologies we have had some technical issues but we are good to go from now!

Bompastor takes it left-footed and her effort flicks off the top of the England wall and behind for a corner.

Faye White blatantly fouls Thomis to give away a free-kick some 20 yards from goal. It looks dangerous.

Bardsley clasps a long-distance free-kick from Necib that deflects off the arm of Smith in the wall. That was a nervy moment though.

Excellent work from Faye White as she twice makes important interceptions in her own box. Her return to the side has been a real boost for Hope Powell's team today.

Ellen White, to her credit, is still charging around full of energy with little reward. At the other end, Kelly Smith makes a crucial interception.

Elodie Thomis replaces Sandrine Soubeyrand for France.

Delie attempts to respond for France but rifles a shot just over the bar from a tight angle.

So, so lucky Karen Bardsley. She completely loses the flight of a free-kick and thankfully traps the ball between her legs, albeit accidentally.

So how do France respond now? They should really just stick to their guns because their fluid brand of football has served them well so far, even if they are behind.

Well that came out of nowhere for England. France had been by far the better side but one moment of genius has put England on course for the semi-finals.

GOAL! What a goal from Jill Scott! She races onto a pass from Yankey, holds off a marker and smashes a shot over the keeper from 20 yards. It wasn't the finest goalkeeping you will ever see, but a lovely hit.

Ellen White goes down like she has been shot but the referee pays no notice. The striker had no real chance of getting the ball but Georges's arm was trailing a touch.

Bardsley makes a decision to come for a cross and clasps it, just about. She has been excellent today, but the same cannot be said of all her colleagues in the England side.

Jill Scott goes close for England as she moves onto a cross from Rachel Unitt and flicks it on. However, the ball flies just wide of the post.

The England defence is opened up yet again but Casey Stoney clears well following a cross from Lepailleur. England are under real pressure at the moment.

More space and time for France as they surge forward again. Necib is the creative force again as she slips a pass in for Delie. However the forward's shot is high and wide. That was a waste.

Another chance for France. Necib feeds the ball into Thiney some 20 yards from goal and she turns and tries to chip the ball into the top corner, with Bardsley equal to it.

So close for France! The ball drops kindly for Delie ten yards out and her snapshot flies wide of the post. That looked as though it was in for a second. A let-off for England.

Yankey finds plenty of space on the left but with Ellen White lurking in the middle, she can't decide whether to cross or shoot and instead plants the ball in the arms of Deville.

KICK OFF. We are back underway in Leverkusen.

HALF TIME. England rue Kelly Smith's early miss as they go in at 0-0, but France have been the better side.
