42'
Because Spain are playing 3-5-2 they're finding it hard to get overloads out wide. And though they play to do their work more narrowly, because they're not making the pitch big, England can crowd them out.
41'
Ball over the top for Taylor to chase, but Panos dashes out promptly and slashes clear.
41'
On the other hand, England are spending a lot of time chasing the ball, and that'll get harder, physically and mentally, as the pitch gets heavier.
39'
37'
I wonder if Mark Sampson will seek to change the flow of this match at half-time, or if it's going precisely to plan. The latter, or closer to the latter, I imagine.
35'
The first 20 minutes of this were great; the next 15, less so.
33'
Hermosa finds a pocket just outside the box and feeds Losada to her right. But Houghton does enough, deflecting the shot back to Bardsley.
32'
At some point, the pitch will get too heavy for Spain's passing, but at the moment the ball is zipping about it very nicely. And yet, they're offering very little threat.
31'

Paredes slides in on Taylor, showing her studs, and though she seemed to withdraw, she's booked anyway.
30'
This is some magical rain, I must say; fans in the front few rows are scurrying back to avoid it. Soft as, them.
29'
28'
Spain have had 76% of the possession; England have scored 100% of the goals.
27'
It's absolutely lashing it down now, and White slides in on Corredera, getting nowhere near the ball. She does well to avoid a booking, and then from 25 yards, right side, Putellas drives the free-kick wide of the far post.
26'
This is probably England's gameplan, to be fair. Spain have yet to create a serious chance.
25'
England are struggling to get a kick here.
24'
Torrejon pumps a cross in, and it's all Hermoso needs, a towering header knocking down for Sampedro. But Houghton is there to cover and England clear, though for some reason there follow appeals for a penalty.
22'
Bronze breaks and ducks inside, so she can flick outside for Nobbs. But Ouahabi gets back to intercept and Spain build.
22'
20'
The game is now in pattern. Spain enjoy some possession, then England interrupt and look to break.
19'
Does anyone know if Spain beat England at the last Euros? Anyone?
