How France line up this evening…
Here’s how the Wales team line up…
Made for the big stage.
FT: England 4-0 Netherlands
England refuse to give up without a fight and they cruise past the Netherlands to keep their EUROs defence alive.
Two goals from Lauren James and strikes from Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone get the Lionesses’ campaign firmly underway.
The perfect reaction.
Into added time…
Three additional minutes at the end of the second half.
England 4-0 Netherlands
Lucy Bronze and Alessia Russo make way for Niamh Charles and Aggie Beever-Jones.
England 4-0 Netherlands
SAVE!
England come close to a fifth with some exquisite build-up play. The ball finds Alessia Russo who takes it first time, but Daphne van Domselaar does well to make the stop.
England 4-0 Netherlands
A double change for England….
Beth Mead is on for Lauren Hemp, Grace Clinton replaces Ella Toone.

GOAL! There’s the third!
The Netherlands unable to clear a dangerous England cross. Ella Toone’s shot is deflected into the path of Lauren James, who rolls in her second of the evening.

OFFSIDE!
England think they have a third through Alessia Russo but the flag is raised for an offside in the build-up.

KICK OFF!
Underway for the second half in Zurich.
HT: England 2-0 Netherlands
So far, so good but the job is far from done.
A fantastic first half performance with goals from Lauren James and Georgia Stanway.
GOAAAALLL!!! 2-0!
Wow! Some strike from Georgia Stanway to double England’s lead just before the break.
The Netherlands fail to clear a free-kick and it falls to Stanway on the edge of the area. It takes a slight deflection and nestles into the bottom corner.
England 2-0 Netherlands
CLOSE AGAIN!
England need to start capitalising on these chances. More good play sees Lauren James drift a dangerous cross into the box from deep. In between two Dutch defenders, Alessia Russo gets a head to it but can’t find the target.
England 1-0 Netherlands
CHANCE!
England’s press allows them to win the ball back high. Keira Walsh whips in a dangerous ball from the right but Lauren Hemp heads over.
England 1-0 Netherlands
GOAAAAAL!!!
England lead! An outstanding pass from Hannah Hampton through to Alessia Russo. The forward lays it off to Lauren James, who unleashes an effort into the top corner from the edge of the box.
England 1-0 Netherlands
England look sharp so far…
Sarina Wiegman’s side are creating a few openings, but it’s their work rate out of possession that has been most impressive so far.
Every time they lose the ball, they’re working hard to win it back and succeeding in doing so. The Dutch with a little over 30% possession so far without a single attempt on goal.
England 0-0 Netherlands
CLOSE!
Lauren Hemp is causing all sorts of problems down the left! This time her cross is headed wide by Alessia Russo.
England 0-0 Netherlands
CHANCE!
Lauren Hemp’s dangerous cross is headed wide by Lauren James. Promising!

England formation update…

KICK OFF!
England get us underway.
Here come the teams!
Anthems up next in Zurich.
10 minute warning!
It’s all or nothing for the Lionesses as their hopes of qualifying for the knockout rounds possibly rests on this evening’s result against the Netherlands.
Should they suffer defeat in Zurich, the defending champions will be eliminated if France are not beaten by Wales later tonight.
The Lionesses have arrived…
The Dutch fans are in full voice in Zurich ahead of this evening’s game!
