Former England midfielder Karen Carney, speaking on ITV: "It was a tidy finish from Ella Toone. Lauren James was just driving through, she'll be disappointed with the pass but Salmon got it and found Toone.

"Good work from the subs in the build up."

Japan have a free-kick in a dangerous area and Yui Hasegawa sends in a teasing ball but Millie Bright is the first to get a head on it. Solid stuff form the Chelsea centre-back.

England happy to play it around at the back.

The Lionesses defence hasn't been massively tested but Esme Morgan and Naimh Charles, both making their first England starts, have done really well at the back.

A long ball is huffed up from Millie Bright at the back but headed away by Japan.

It's all gone a bit flat at the moment but England are undoubtedly on top.

Short corner by Japan and Georgia Stanway blocks the cross.

She's on the ground but looks like she's just been winded.

First sniff of the ball for Chelsea's Lauren James and she tries to drive into the middle of the park but is dispossessed.

It's gone a bit quiet as those substitutions just try to settle into the game.

Couple of Lionesses changes as Chloe Kelly and Alessia Russo make way for Ebony Salmon and Lauren James.

Lovely ball from Keira Walsh who had time in the middle to whip one in.

No one able to get on the end of it, though.

Ella Toone sends Chloe Kelly chasing her long ball and she fancies another goal. She pings one with her right foot towards goal but it's miles over and doesn't trouble Ayaka Yamashita.

Georgia Stanway was in the box and Kelly probably could've played her in but Kelly fancied her chances.

Quick change for Japan as Mina Tanaka comes on for Arsenal's Mana Iwabuchi.

That is Chloe Kelly's first goal for England since scoring the winner in the Euros final against Germany.

That seems to have stirred up a rendition of Sweet Caroline from the crowd in attendance in Murcia.

Ah, memories.

Former England midfielder Karen Carney, speaking on ITV: "Brilliant, brilliant strike. I think we were all thinking it was a missed chance for Russo but Kelly arrives and smashes it in left-footed. Loads of power and the keeper has no chance.

"She's been a really big threat tonight."

Oh lovely through ball from Keira Walsh slides through to Georgia Stanway. The Bayern Munich forward crosses into the box but Saki Kumagai beats Alessia Russo to it.

No changes for either side at half time, by the way.

Hinata Miyazagawa carries the ball through the midfield and is looking for Yui Hasegawa but there's an England body in the way and the Lionesses have the opportunity to break.

Alessia Russo is on the deck, not a sight you want to see from the Manchester United forward who has so recently returned from injury.

She looks OK to carry on.

We're back underway in Spain.

Former England striker Eni Aluko, speaking on ITV: “Chloe Kelly has put some fantastic balls into the box. She hasn’t overcomplicated. As forwards, she’s giving you all you can ask for: great balls into the box.

"The goal again comes from a Kelly cross. It’s all come from Chloe Kelly’s crosses.”
