Belgium vs England LIVE: Lionesses score and latest updates

Well well well. A first half that few would have expected with Belgium ahead and deservedly so – and but for a penalty, their lead at the interval would have remained at three goals. The hosts have been very impressive in their counter-attacking play, while England have missed the hold-up play of Alessia Russo. We know that the Lionesses can score in bursts but there’s heaps for Sarina Wiegman’s side to do.

Just the one additional minute to be played.

Bronze is beginning to get more and more involved. Another powerful surge forward results in a half-chance for Aggie Beever-Jones, who can’t keep her header down.

What a defensive header! Lucy Bronze’s whipped cross looks ripe for Nikita Parris to head home, yet Laura Deloose somehow manages to beat the England striker to the ball and contort it away.

That’s Beth Mead’s first England goal in nearly a year. This has been a timely return to form for the Arsenal winger.

Nikita Parris has a speculative effort from 30 yards or so but troubles only the patrons in the rows towards the end of the alphabet.

England hadn’t really looked like scoring before that chance was gifted to them. They will know, though, that if they can get their attacking game going then they have the capacity to rip Belgium to ribbons, as they did last week.

Up Beth Mead steps…and in it goes!

Perfectly placed into the corner. A route back for England?

How England needed that! Beth Mead gets to a ball first in the box and is wiped out by Davina Philtjens – to the spot the referee points…

Nearly a fourth! Hannah Hampton makes her first save of the game, and crikey did she have to with Jill Janssens sprung free again. Hampton thrusts out her left foot to deny the wing-back at the near post.
