Bright mops up at the back and England look to build through Stokes on the left who plays it to Hemp but Austria win it back. Enjoyable second half so far.
Dunst registers another shot on England’s goal from distance but it is an easy save straight at Earps
England win a corner. Good delivery by Kirby and the home side win another corner. Kirby with it again and it is punched away. Penalty shout for a foul on Mead in the box but nothing given. She can’t believe it. Looked like a stonewall penalty.
Freekick sent in but Demi Stokes gets it away. Mead draws a foul to relieve the pressure. All Austria so far this second half.
CHANCE. Earps saves superbly. Austria had a three on two there . They cause England plenty of problems with the resulting corner too as Mead is forced to give away a foul
