16'
It's getting a bit physical out here. Kelland-Knight looks to foul Debinha.
14'
Formiga is booked for a rather clumsy tackle. That means she'll miss Brazil's final group game.
13'
The Australian strategy seems to be to cross to Kerr in the box, possibly hoping she can get her head to it. Brazil are doing well to shut those efforts down.
11'
Australian keeper WIlliams reads the situation perfectly as she pounces on the ball before Cristiane can inflict any pain.
10'
The ball stays in the Brazil box, Australia have had the lions share of the attack so far, but they can't quite keep hold of it.
9'
The ball find Kerr in the box, but it looks like it doesn't connect properly. There's not enough on it.
8'
Kelland-Knight has a shot at the goal but it's way over the bar. Still, got to admire the tenacity of the Australian side, so far.
6'
Australia are pressing forwards, they're doing well, when Brazil have the ball, they're giving them no space.
4'
Kelland-Knight whips the ball into the box, it's caught by Barbara.
2'
First save of the match, Tamires speeds down the wing and shoots from the near side of the goal.
1'
And that's the whistle, we're off.
16:56
Some stern vibes from the Brazil line-up as they sing their own anthem. They mean business today.
16:55
We've just had the Australian national anthem. Bit too much pick-up on those mics, perhaps...
16:51
Yikes.
16:51
Australia's Alana Kennedy on Marta...
We have the rivalry with Brazil now at the last two major tournaments, where we knocked them out and they knocked us out. But when you’re on the field I don’t give a s**t who [Marta] is – she’s an opponent and I want to beat her.
16:50
Australia are under pressure now after losing to Italy, and who knows what will happen today, but there is a bit of rivalry between these two so this could be tasty.
16:44
In their first match of the tournament, Brazil eat Jamaica 3-0 with Cristiane becoming the oldest person to score a hat-trick at a World Cup. That puts them top of Group C thanks to a favourable goal difference.
16:36
The big news for Brazil's starting XI is that squillion-time world player of the year Marta will start - she found herself on the bench on Sunday against Jamaica, though Brazil are perhaps expecting a harder time of it today in Montpellier.
16:33
For the Australia side, a couple of changes from their starting XI against Italy, which ended in a shock 2-1 defeat. Polkinghorne and Raso drop back and are replaced by Gielnik and Kellond-Knight.
