	55 min: Karen Bardsley comes off her line quickly to dive at the feet of Gura Reiten and prevent the Norway midfielder from clipping a shot home from the right side of the six-yard box.
	53 min: Good play from Demi Stokes, who prevents Ingrid Moe Wold from getting a cross in from the right flank. England substitution: Toni Duggan off, Beth Mead on.
	51 min: England win a free-kick wide on the right and with Lucy Bronze lurking with intent outside the area, Toni Duggan pulls the ball her way. Referee Lucila Venegas orders a retake and Norway again fail to pick up Bronze. Duggan sends a cross into the box this time, but it’s cleared.
	50 min: Ellen White tries to scuttle between two retreating defenders and latch on to a long ball from deep, but isn’t quite quick enough. Moments later, Nikita Parris and Norway central defender Maria Thorisdottir get involved in a minor spat, but it’s something and nothing.
	47 min: Norway go perilously close to pulling a goal back after some atrocious defending from England. Steph Houghton is on hand to get back and intervene when Caroline Graham Hansen controlled a pass on the edge of the sixth yard box with her midriff and looked certain to score.
	46 min: Norway get the ball rolling for the second half.
	Phil Neville speaks: “Same again,” he tells the BBC, upon being asked what’s required in the second half. “Same concentration, same speed of movement, same sequences of passes. It’s about concentration now, discipline and we had that in the first half and we need it again.”
	Both sets of players go in for the break with a two goal lead and are well worth it. JillScott opened the scoring within three minutes and Ellen White doubled their lead with five minutes of the half remaining. They’ve dominated almost throughout, but have been prone to giving the ball away. They are killing Norway down the right flank, where Lucy Bronze and Nikita Parris have been irresistible.
	45 min: More pressure from England. Demi Stokes sends a cross to the far post from the left flank. The goalkeeper leaps but can’t get a hand to the ball and Jill Scott tries to hook it home. She can’t quite get her foot around the ball and pokes it narrowly wide at full stretch.
	42 min: Fran Kirby is down injured and receiving treatment after doing herself some sort of mischief in the build-up to Ellen White’s fifth goal in this tournament. She’s fit to continue. Play resumes and Demi Stokes is given a talking-to by referee Lucila Venegas, who ticks her off for kicking the ball away after a decision had gone against her.
	England double their lead courtesy of Ellen White. Down the right flank, Lucy Bronze plays the ball inside to Nikita Parris, who pings it goalwards around a defender and into the path of White. She sweeps the ball home from a couple of yards out.
38 min: Fran Kirby cuts inside from the left and lofts a cross to the far post. Nikita Parris beats her marker, Minde, but her downward header is poor and bounces off the turf and up into the waiting arms of Ingrid Hjelmsseth.	38 min: Fran Kirby cuts inside from the left and lofts a cross to the far post.

36 min: A poor touch from England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley, who makes a hash of trying to deal with a Steph Houghton back-pass. She gets away with it.	36 min: A poor touch from England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley, who makes a hash of trying to deal with a Steph Houghton back-pass. She gets away with it.
Going back to that Ellen White shot that hit the woodwork a few minutes ago - she’ll be gutted not to have scored. I’ve just seen a replay and she really caught a bouncing, dropping ball with the sweet spot and unleashed a smashing right-footed volley which fizzed diagonally across the face of goal and smashed against the post.

33 min: There’s no review, but the ball did hit the arm of Demi Stokes (not Bright, apologies - and it’s not as if they look even remotely alike!), but only after it spun upwards after she’d blocked it with her foot. Is that a handball these days? I honestly don’t know any more.	33 min: There’s no review, but the ball did hit the arm of Demi Stokes (not Bright, apologies - and it’s not as if they look even remotely alike!), but only after it spun upwards after she’d blocked it with her foot.

31 min: Gura Reiten shoots from distance for Norway and her effort is blocked by Bright. The Norwegian appeals for handball and we might have a review once the ball goes out of play.	31 min: Gura Reiten shoots from distance for Norway and her effort is blocked by Bright.

30 min: England are well worth their lead and could be as many as three goals to the good, but they are also capable of extreme sloppiness when it comes to giving the ball away.	30 min: England are well worth their lead and could be as many as three goals to the good, but they are also capable of extreme sloppiness when it comes to giving the ball away.

With Ellen White unmarked in the centre, the winger elects to shoot instead of pass and skies a half-decent chance over the bar. England should be two up.	20 min: Nikita Parris does superbly to cut in from the right and take out a defender.

Bronze releases Ellen White down the right flank, but with no options open to her, she pings the ball backwards again.	19 min: England continue to dominate possession and midfield and are enjoying particularly notable success down the right flank, with their Bronze-Parris axis.

14 min: Norway embark on a sortie into England territory, probing for an opening. The ball’s crossed to Ingrid Moe Wold in the penalty area, who eschews the option to unleash a diagonal volley towards goal and then stymies her chances of fashioning any other kind of chance with a very heavy first touch.	14 min: Norway embark on a sortie into England territory, probing for an opening.

12 min: England win a throw-in down by the managers’ technical area, which Demi Stokes takes. Behind her, Phil Neville is looking very animated indeed.	12 min: England win a throw-in down by the managers’ technical area, which Demi Stokes takes.

She’s welcome to claim otherwise.	5 min: A good lawyer could probably argue that Ellen White mis-kick was an intentional and very clever dummy, but I’m not having it.

Not long now: Led by referee Lucia Venegas and her assistants, the Norway and England teams march out of the tunnel and on to the pitch, led by skippers Moren Mjelde and Steph Houghton. There are empty seats visible at the Stade de Oceane, but an estimated crowd of 20,000 is present. It’s time for the national anthems and kick-off is less than five minutes away.
