End of match

  • 200'
    So, England go top of Group D ahead of tomorrow's clash between Argentina and Japan. Tough result for Scotland to take, but they will look to bounce back against Japan next time out. That's all from this game - thank you for joining us and see you again on Friday for England's next game against Argentina!
  • 90'
    FULL TIME! ENGLAND 2-1 SCOTLAND. Despite a strong second half from Scotland, England hold on to beat their old enemy and take away a crucial three points from their first group game!

    Georgia Stanway tries an effort from distance that goes just wide of the post for England.
  • 90'
    Scott using her large frame to keep the ball in the corner as England look to run the clock down.
  • 90'
    Four minutes of added time here. Can Scotland find a late equaliser?
  • 88'
    England managing the game well as they knock the ball around and take their time. Squeaky bum time here...

    A final roll of the dice for Scotland as Lizzie Arnot replaces Christie Murray.
  • 83'
    Scotland look fired up now - what a finale we have in store.

Goaaaaaal!
en el 79' (Escocia)
  • 79 '
    GOAAAL! SCOTLAND GET ONE BACK! Emslie scores for Scotland!! Evans makes a direct run cutting in from the left, before sliding the ball to Emslie, who finishes past Bardsley to set us up for an interesting last 10 minutes!
  • 76'
    Evans gets away again down the left, but her cross towards the diminutive Cuthbert comes to nothing and the ball is then curled over by Emslie.
  • 75'
    Scotland string together a good attack, but Evans' ball from a dangerous position rolls into Bardsley's arms.
  • 74 '
    Sophie Howard is replaced by Chloe Arthur for Scotland.
  • 70 '
    Beth Mead makes way for Chelsea captain Karen Carney.
  • 70'
    Another big save from Alexander! The ball falls to White in the six-yard box from a corner, but Alexander stops her from point blank rage. She's kept them in the game today.
  • 65'
    Kim Little, who has a rather impressive set of tan lines on her arms, is starting to join the dots and move the ball around well for Scotland - they need to get her on the ball more.
  • 64'
    Bardsley does well to punch away a tricky corner at the back post. Spell of pressure for Scotland here.
  • 63'
    England have controlled the game well over the past five minutes, keeping possession patiently and probing for an opening. Scotland looking more dangerous when they have it this half, too.
  • 57'
    Bardsley is forced to make a routine save as Emslie tries her lucky from a tight angle on the right. England looking a bit flat at the moment.
  • 55'
    Parris crosses to the front post from the right, but White, who represents quite the aerial threat up top for England, can only head after.
  • 54 '
    Scotland also make a substitute as they take Docherty out the firing line after her yellow card. Kirsty Smith trots on to replace her.
  • 54 '
    Millie Bright can't continue, and is replaced by Abbie McManus at centre-back.
  • 50 '
    Bright lands awkwardly on her shoulder after a challenge, and is currently being treated off the pitch as play continues.
  • 49'
    Jill Scott wins the ball back and slides it to Parris, who opts to shoot from 25 yards rather than sliding in Bronze round the right, and her effort flies over the bar.

  • 47 '
    Parris and Docherty resume their battle down the right wing, and the Scotland left-back is now booked after she clatters into the England winger. Walking a fine line now...

  • 46'
    Another England goal disallowed! Mead tucks home clinically from White's pullback down the right, but the striker. was offside as she received the ball out wide.
  • 45'
    England get us back underway in Nice. We will have more of the same, or will Scotland mount an incredible comeback?
  • 45'
    And that's half time!! An utterly dominant half for England, who have been better all over the park so far. Big second part needed for Scotland - see you in 15 minutes for more.
  • 45'
    Good defending from Corsie to turn behind a dangerous Parris cross from the right. The ball falls to Walsh after the resulting corner, whose effort from 25 yards floats harmlessly over.
  • 45'
    Two minutes of added time here...
  • 44'
    Alexander makes a mess of the free-kick from the right, and it bounces out behind off a Scotland hand. No penalty given this time...
  • 43 '
    Textbook yellow card as Jen Beattie takes out Parris, who had beaten her all ends up for pace. England's tandem of Bronze and Parris down the right has been devastating so far.
  • 41'
    Scotland go close!! The ball falls to Cuthbert on the edge of the area, who hits a right-footed effort first-time across goal that fizzes narrowly wide of the far post. Cuthbert has been Scotland's standout player here.
  • 39 '
    GOOOALLL! White for England and this time it counts!!! After a scrappy bit of play, Kirby squeezes the ball past Corsie and it falls to White on the edge of the area, who finishes coolly with her left foot to double England's lead.
  • 34'
    Another chance for White and England! Kirby robs the ball from Weir high up the field and the ball falls to White, but she hits her shot from the edge of the box straight at Alexander.
  • 32'
    Big chance for Mead!! She's slid in down the left by Kirby, but Alexander saves smartly with her feet again.
  • 29'
    Good goalkeeping as Alexander sprints out of her goal to beat White to a ball over the top and clear for a throw in.
  • 28'
    A good attack from Scotland led by the impressive Cuthbert, but Emslie's cross goes straight into Bardsley's hands.
  • 26'
    Scotland causing all their own problems here as they are unable to string three passes together and are camped in their own half. They have won a free-kick in the England half here, which could give them some much needed respite on a hot afternoon in Nice.
  • 24'
    England looking sharp so far and living up to their billing as one of the favourites to lift the trophy. Parris draws a cheer from the crowd as she beats her defender with a cheeky nutmeg and starts a promising counter.
Goal disallowed

  • 22'
    Ellen White heads home Kiera Walsh's clever chipped through ball, but her celebrations are cut short as the flag was up. Easy decision, that one.
  • 21'
    What a save!! Bronze again finds space down the right, and her cross finds White, whose first time volley is well saved at the near post by Alexander.
  • 19'
    What a penalty that was from Parris by the way, just minutes after England's men scored all five of their penalties as they beat Switzerland in the Nations League third place playoff. Who said the English can't take penalties?
  • 18'
    Big chance for England! Scotland only half clear their lines, and the ball falls to Fran Kirby on the edge of the box, but the England midfielder can only drag her effort wide.
  • 14'
    Looked a fair penalty that - Docherty's arm was outstretched, and despite the fact the two players were close together, the ball clearly struck her wrist.
  • 13 '
    GOOOOAALLLL! Parris puts England ahead with an excellent penalty into the top left corner - there's no stopping those!
  • 12 '
    Penalty to England!!! After watching again on the monitor, the referee awards a penalty for handball. Nikita Parris steps up to take...
  • 11'
    VAR review for a possible England penalty as Fran Kirby's cross seemed to strike Docherty's hand...
  • 7'
    More good play from England as Beth Mead beats her defender and breaks into the box on the left, but her cutback goes straight to a blue shirt to clear.
  • 4'
    First move of the game for England as the ball is worked to Bronze on the right, but Howard does well and heads behind at the back post for a corner.
  • 3'
    Bright start from Scotland as they look to pin England in early. The Scots look up for this one....
  • 1'
    AND WE'RE OFF! Scotland get us underway here in Nice.

    It's a hot day down in Nice, where today's game will be played at the Allianz Riviera. In fact, this is the same stadium where the England men's team suffered the ignominy of being dumped out of Euro 2016 by minnows Iceland. Those in England will be hoping the women fare a bit better today on the south coast...
  • PRVW
    Speaking of little...Scotland and Arsenal midfielder Kim Little will be the one pulling the strings for Kerr's side today, and will be determined to make up for the heartbreak of missing the Euros through injury two years ago.
  • PRVW
    England are of course the overwhelming favourites for this all-British affair, winning 22 of the last 25 games against Scotland and finishing qualifying unbeaten. However, when the pressure is on in the World Cup, all of these stats will go out the window and count for very little.
  • PRVW
    This is Scotland's first ever appearance at a World Cup finals, making this game an even bigger deal for former player Shelley Kerr's side. The two sides met at the Euros two years ago, where England ran out comfortable 6-0 winners. However, Scotland are much improved since then, beating Brazil, Denmark and Jamaica in the buildup to this tournament.
  • PRVW
    So, the big news from England's lineup is the absence of star striker Toni Duggan, who has been struggling with injury all week and only makes the bench. For Scotland, striker Erin Cuthbert is fit to start, and will be their biggest goal threat up front.
  • PRVW
    Scotland: Alexander; Howard, Corsie, Beattie, Docherty; Evans, Murray, Little, Weir, Emslie; Cuthbert
  • PRVW
    England: Bardsley; Bronze, Bright, Houghton, Greenwood; Kirby, Walsh, Scott; Parris, White, Mead
