    87'
    Aluko almost in again but her header forward is too heavy, allowing Angerer to come off her line and smother.
    86'
    Both sets of players looking a bit jaded. They've given everything here. England have been hugely impressive against the no.1 ranked side in the world.
    85'
    The corner comes to nothing.
    84'
    A ball over the top almost releases Aluko who uses her speed to drive through on goal from the left of the area, but a German toe denies her at the last. Corner kick England.
    83'
    Are we nailed on for ET here?

    Bardsley booked for time wasting! The keeper offers a rueful smile and clears down field.

    ENGLAND SUB: Sanderson on, Chapman off.
    80'
    Jill Scott has had two big chances for England in the last 10 minutes.

    Chapman is the first player in the book for halting a Germany counter attack.
    78'
    England looking very strong now... Williams from 40 yards but Angerer isn't going to be beaten from there.

    CLOSE! Jill Scott is played in by Bronze but can't convert despite side-stepping Angerer. The ball is worked to the left for Carney but Scott can't convert on the stretch at the far post.
    76'
    Lovely idea from Mittag as she looks to catch out Bardsley with a chip from the edge of the box... but the execution isn't quite good enough.
    75'
    Mittag involved in eight goals at this WC, scoring five and teeing up three.

    CLOSE! Big chance for Jill Scott as she arrives at the far post to meet the left-wing corner, but her header is well wide.
    72'
    Good feet from Aluko as she earns England a corner on the left.
    71'
    Is one goal going to settle this? Or are we heading for ET?
    70'
    Anja Mittag being readied for Germany. She's a major goal threat and it was a bit of a surprise she wasn't included from the start.
    69'

    Germany getting closer as Tabea Kemme weaves in from the left and unleashes a fizzing drive from 20 yards that arrows just wide of Bardsley's left-hand post.
    67'
    Nervy moments at the back for England as they overcomplicate things in defence. The Germans win it on the edge of the area but Schmidt volleys a looping attempt over the bar.

    Houghton rises to meet Greenwood's corner but can't get a full contact on her header as it flashes wide of the far post.
