Good evening and welcome to LIVE text commentary of the third and fourth place play-off at the Women's World Cup in Canada. It's Germany versus England in what the Lionesses coach Mark Sampson has dubbed a 'champions of Europe' match. Both sides will be still be hurting from their respective semi final defeats but will be hoping to sign off from the tournament in style. Kick off 9pm BST.

Incidentally, this is Germany coach, Silvia Neid's last game in charge at a World Cup. She steps down at the end of 2015.

Germany in control early on. Almost all of the play in England's half.

Regardless of the result tonight, this has been a triumphant WC for England.

LAST MEETING: Silvia Neid's side won 3-0 at Wembley back in November last year, with this tournament's top scorer, Celia Sasic scoring twice.

More solid keeping from Bardsley as she comes off her line to punch the resulting corner to safety.

SAVE! Early chance as Petermann meets a left-wing cross with a downward header that Karen Bardsley has to push past her near post.

KICK OFF! England get us underway wearing an all-red kit.

Great to see Laura Bassett getting a fantastic welcome.

DID YOU KNOW? England women have never beaten Germany in 20 attempts.

Will we have plenty of goals tonight? Edmonton hasn't seen many at this tournament.

Mark Sampson: "There's only one English team that's finished higher than third, we're determined to join that club. There's only us and the 1966 team that have won as many games at World Cups - it's an incredible achievement. So we want to give ourselves the best chance of achieving something special, making more history."

Rather interestingly, Sampson appears to have switched formation for this match with England adopting what appears to be a 5-2-3 system. As a result, the coach has made four changes from the heartbreaking last four loss to Japan. Jo Potter, Alex Greenwood, Karen Carney and Ellen White all come in. Meanwhile, Germany have also opted for change, with five alterations to their starting xi. Captain Nadine Angerer plays her last game for her country between the sticks.

TEAMS - England: Bardsley, Williams, Houghton, Bassett, J. Scott, Carney, Bronze, Greenwood, Chapman, Potter, White. /// Germany: Angerer, Schmidt, Bartusiak, Laudehr, Behringer, Sasic, Peter, Petermann, Goessling, Kemme, Daebritz.
