WHAT A HEADER! Great touch from an unmarked Miedema, and Lindahl palms it on to the crossbar!

CLOSE! The goalkeeper punches it and it falls to Fischer on the edge of the box, who shoots, and van Veenendaal dives to tip the ball on to the post.
55'
Bloodworth shoves Blackstenius, conceding a corner, and the Sweden back line move up to the box.
51'
Spitse fouls Asllani back, and the Swede complains that's the third time it's happened. I think the referee is basically just letting the pair of them get on with it.
50'
Another hefty challenge from Asllani, this one on Spitse.
48'
GREAT CHALLENGE! It's Bloodworth putting herself on the line once more to stop Blackstenius getting a shot away in the box.
46'
van de Donk sends a shot sailing wide after an exchange with Miedema.

Jill Roord replaces Lieke Martens for the Netherlands. Now then.

45'+3
HALF-TIME. Well, this is all a bit cagey.
-
Three minutes to be added on here.
45'
Miedema goes on a run down the right, and after Beerensteyn fails to make use of her pass, she takes the ball back and has a shot herself, but Sweden are defending brilliantly in numbers.
-
The Netherlands are lofting long balls forward for Miedema to chase, which seems tactically flawed.
44'
Fischer goes in studs up on Martens. Ouch.
-
Have to say, though both sides have pressed, there's been little in the way of clear-cut chances.
37'
GREAT SAVE! van Veenendaal uses her feet brilliantly to save from Rubensson through a forest of legs in the box.
