32'
VAR! VAR! VAR! It is that time again, as Norway appeal for handball against Stokes in the box. Just waiting for the ball to go out of play to see if that will be reviewed.
30'
POST! So close to a second for England. The lofted pass into White from Parris is superb, the England striker takes her time and fires a powerful strike for goal, but sees her effort come out off the post.
28'
Untidy pass from Hansen wastes an opportunity to put England under more pressure.
-
Quite.
26'
Scott is watchful and wins possession to break up another Norway attack. England second best at the moment.
24'
Hansen cuts onto her right foot, but Lucy Bright is across to make the block.
22'
Wold is again in a good position, but overhits her cross, much to the relief of Karen Bardsley in the England goal.
20'
CHAAAAAANCE! Scott slides a nice pass into Nikita Parris, who cuts inside, with defenders committing themselves, but the Manchester City forward slices over the top with the goal at her mercy.
-
Swoon!
18'
Houghton has to step across to make the interception as England continue to look sloppy.
16'
The England defenders get dragged into the middle as a cross comes in from the left, it evades everyone, Ingrid Wold arrives late at the back post, but she cannot control at the vital moment.
14'
Fran Kirkby gets away with a wild lunge in the middle of the park as England look to continue to quash any Norwegian momentum.
-
Joy in France's 13th biggest city!
12'
England look comfortable at the back but remain pressed in their half.
10'
Norway have come right back into this now as Houghton sees the ball behind for a goal kick.
-
And what a time to join that elite group!
8'
First danger from Norway as Isabell Herlovsen gets to the byline, but he cross is blocked behind for a corner.
6'
Norway are on the ropes here. Scott again comes, but can't divert the ball goalwards.
4'
The fastest goal of the tournament so far gives England the advantage. Superb work from Lucy Bronze to burst to the byline, she pulled it back for White, who miskicked, but veteran Scott was on hand to steer the ball into the bottom corner.
3'
GOOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!!! England 1-0 Norway. What a start from England as Jill Scott steers home the opener.
2'
Demi Stokes whips a nice ball in, it comes off a defender, but there is no corner kick given. Ellen White is incredulous. Good start from England.
