Good afternoon, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of China v Spain in Group B of the Women's World Cup.

Germany are three up against South Africa - header from Alex Popp.

Garcia shoves the player marking her, giving away a free kick in the process.

Corredera puts a cross in, and after a series of triangular passes, Virginia has a shot. It's not good.

Hermoso is dropping back very deep at the moment.

CHANCE! Mariona on a run into the penalty area, swaying round the China defence. Space opens up and she has a shot but it's always skewing wide.

She'll be OK to continue.

Germany are now two up against South Africa, Sara Dabritz rifling home.

Break in play here as Wang Shanshan receives treatment to her right foot.

Well, Spain are at least trying to get some shots away now, but Hermoso is being marked so closely nothing can get anywhere; Marta Corredera has a chance too but that's blocked.

Virginia flicks it on, but out of play rather than across the face of goal.

Wang Shanshan brings Patri down in the centre circle to concede a free kick.

Terrible ball from Mariona about a third of the way into the China half, giving it away with a misplaced pass over 10 yards.

Jenny Hermoso is opting to haul people to the ground instead of tackling them, and she and the referee laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

Quarter of an hour in, Spain are probably more dominant, but China are chasing the ball down well. They can't retain possession, mind.

Germany are now 1-0 up against South Africa, Melanie Leupolz heading home from a corner.

Vague chance there, but Garcia is in Hermoso's way as she strikes it, and it's scuffled away.

CHANCE! Thumbs up from Garcia towards Mariona to thank her for an excellent cross into the box. Keeper Peng doesn't claim it and it's very close to opening the scoring.

Entertainingly end to end so far.

Good cross there on the break from Gu, but Leon has been fouled and it's a free kick to Spain.

The goalkeeper had come out a long way there, mind, it was really worth having a shot.

Mariona breaks for Spain, but her ball through the China defence is taken too wide and out of danger.
