Half time: England 0-0 Germany

45+1 mins: Nothing separates the teams as they head into the break. Both teams had periods of dominance in the opening 45 minutes, but neither could break the deadlock. On average, England have probably outperformed in terms of scoring chances. More to come in the second half. Michael Jones 31 July 2022 17:47 1659285836

England 0-0 Germany

42 mins: England finish the half well. Ellen White argues with Marina Hegering before Lucy Bronze wins a corner. Lauren Hemp swings it in but the ball is clear. The Lionesses recycle it to Bronze, who turns a cross back into the box to Fran Kirby, but she can’t get a square pass on an attempted volley and the ball bounces out for a goal.

England 0-0 Germany

39 mins: Chance! Ellen White brings the ball under control and lays it down the right for Beth Mead to pass behind. He brings the ball into the box and pulls it to the striker, who side-foots a shot narrowly over the crossbar. At best, it misses by a few inches. Michael Jones 31 July 2022 17:39 1659285508

England 0-0 Germany

36 mins: England slow the game down and retain possession. They try to play through the German press and create some space up top for their runners to get into. Michael Jones 31 July 2022 17:38 1659285328

England 0-0 Germany

33 mins: Giulia Gwinn swings a cross into the box from the right that Mary Earps comes out to confidently claim. He is cut off by Lea Schuller, who agrees to talk to the referee about the late arrival. It’s not a yellow card offence, but the majority of people want the referee to give one. When he doesn’t, he’s rewarded with a chorus of boos. Michael Jones July 31, 2022 5:35 p.m 1659285126

England 0-0 Germany

30 mins: England have a penalty appeal of their own after Stanway’s tackle on Lea Shuler’s upper arm inside the box. She couldn’t do much about it and her hands were by her side so no penalty. English fans are not at all happy with the referee. England have been penalized for some soft tackles in the last 10 minutes or so. Michael Jones 31 July 2022 17:32 1659284829

England 0-0 Germany

27 mins: Germany look to capitalize on this lapse in concentration from England. They win a corner and kick it into the six yard box. Stanway hits it and Mary Earps puts out a hand to stop it crossing the line. There is a mad scramble that results in Leah Williamson making a block on the line before Earps jumps on her to smother the ball. There is a potential VAR review for a handball against England during this clash, but nothing more is forthcoming. Michael Jones 31 July 2022 17:27
