   It is a really good effort from Kearns.

   It is a great pass in there from Beth Mead. The goalkeeper has been pretty impressive.

   It is all much of a muchness. England are keeping the ball well, passing their way through Ghana to create spaces.

   Beth Mead sets up Missy Bo Kearns but her effort is pushed behind by the goalkeeper.

    England are playing some really nice football. You can tell there’s lots of young players on the pitch keen to make their mark. I think Sarina Wiegman will be pleased with how things have gone so far.

    Little bit of luck for Ghana.

    The keeper gets her foot to it, she did well to react.

    Again, England come close. Aggie Beever-Jones sends a shot towards goal when one-on-one but it takes a slight deflection off the goalkeeper and goes wide.

    Lucy Ward
    Former Leeds striker on ITV

    It’s a really good ball because it puts pressure on the defence and the goalkeeper.

    Luckily for Ghana, it wasn’t on target.

    England 1-0 Ghana

    Ooooh.

    Missy Bo Kearns swings a cross towards the back post, the goalkeeper slips underneath the ball and for a moment it looks like it might find its way inside the back post.

    It goes just wide.

    Hope Chloe is OK. I’m really happy for Lucia Kendall. I’m so happy that Wubben-Moy can start because I think she deserves the minutes.

    Taylor Hinds sends a corner into the middle which is well claimed by Cynthia Konlan.

    England earned it through another quick passing routine in the final third. They have been fluid going forwards.

    That’s a nice move. Jess Park picks up the ball in the box and cuts it back into the middle, but Missy Bo Kearns can’t trouble the goalkeeper.

    It’s a blow for Chloe Kelly, who hasn’t been starting many games recently. She would have relished the chance to shine today and doesn’t even make 30 minutes.

    She is given a warm applause as she walks off by the Southampton crowd who were excited to see her pre-match.
