There goes the whistle for full-time after Thomis had raced into the England area. Brilliant run, but no finish. A 3-0 win for France. England go out of the tournament on one point.
89'
We are into two minutes of time added on.
88'
White thumps the shot at Deville. Plenty of power from the Williams pass. But never had the direction to beat the France goalkeeper.
87'
Some inventive play by White breaking into the French box. Deville mistimes coming for the cross, but no harm done as the ball spins up before France clear.
85'
Renard has looked a class act all night long in cutting out these sporadic England attacks.
83'
Never going to be enough to trouble a side as talented as France, who are looking good to win this tournament.
82'
Houghton looking for Clark, but Franco is there. England lacking the quality all night long.
81'
England then look to break as Clarke bounds down a flank, but fine recovery work by Franco to make the challenge.
79'
Alex Scott wallops a shot over the bar. Never troubling Deville, who has had little to do in the France goal.
78'
Thomis lifts the cross just too high for Le Sommer. Wave after wave of France attacks here.
77'
Le Sommer pulls her shot wide from distance. Never on target. France continue to hold this 3-0 lead.
76'
Renard collides with Bardsley after Necib had thrown over the corner. More brilliant stuff from France on the attack. Free-kick to England.
75'
Necib with the free-kick. Plenty of cut and spin on the ball, but Bardsley comes off her line to make the punch. Solid goalkeeping.

Change for England as Clarke arrives to take over from Carney.

France playing this more like a practice game. Duggan unloads a shot from distance, but always travelling wide.

Necib slides the ball into the path of Thomis, who sees a shot slide inches wide. So unfortunate for France after another lovely move.
