66'

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.

65'

Corner to England. Greenwood to take. Now would be a great time to score...

64'

Greenwood makes strides down the left but her cross is too close to Angerer's near post and the German stopper stoops to claim it under no pressure.

63'

ENGLAND sub: White off, Aluko on.

62'

Laudher meets the corner after ahead of Houghton but Bardsley comes through a number of bodies to punch it to safety.

61'

Laudehr with some neat feet on the right. She arcs a cross towards Petermann whose header flicks off an England defender. Corner.

60'

Who is going to make the breakthrough?

59'

Almost an hour on the board. Is it time for Sampson to make a change?

58'

Another corner is aimed towards Sasic but England get enough bodies around her to deny her a free header on goal.

57'

56'

Back up the other end and Williams works a short corner.... but the strike from distance from Potter is blocked.

55'

England don't really deal with the resulting corner but they are let off the hook as Germany dither over getting a shot away.

54'

GREAT SAVE! Sasic teases a cross into the area for Sara Daebritz whose hooked volley is brilliantly turned past the post by Bardsley.

53'

Scott is back on her feet and returns to the pitch.

52'

Scott goes down injured on the touchline. Play continues with England down to 10.

51'

No sooner do I type that and Williams overcooks the resulting corner towards Bronze and it bobbles out for a Germany ball!

50'

Williams' delivery has been superb this tournament and it's the case once more as a left-wing centre causes some concern in the Germany rearguard before being hastily cleared.

49'

Scott gets free on the right and cuts it back for Carney on the edge of the box. It's eventually fed to Williams whose 35 yarder is blocked. Carney should have had a go herself there.

48'

Solid enough start from England.

47'

Laura Bassett may have endured a nightmare scenario in the semi final with THAT own goal, but she's been outstanding tonight. Great at the back and perfect with her passing.

46'

KICK OFF! Germany restart the contest.... GERMANY SUB: Leupolz on for Behringer.
