HALF TIME
39'Chances coming at both ends, and this time Yukari Kinga fires over from 18 yards after a patient Japan attack.
38'Ellen White almost doubles her tally with a spectacular over-shoulder volley from Jess Clarke's left-hand cross, but Kaihori wins this one tipping the ball over the bar.
36'Jill Scott breaks into the Japan box and looks for Ellen White on the penalty spot, but she fails to get the bend on the ball and her pass goes straight into Kaihori's hands.

28'Jill Scott snuffs out a positive Japan move with a solid tackle on Shinobu Ohno just outside the England area.

13'Yuki Nagasato tries a shot from range but it's a routine save for Karen Bardsley.
08'Ellen White almost manages to steer home a Jill Scott flick-on from Sophie Bradley's long throw, but the ball is deflected wide for a corner.
