    Fine margins decide these types of games.

  8. HT: England 19-19 Canada

    Will England’s bench do what they usually do and deliver in the final quarter?

    They were behind at half-time for the first time since 2020 last week.

    And they haven't lost a match since the 2022 World Cup final.

  10. HT: England 19-19 Canada

    Millie Wood
    Ex-England international on BBC iPlayer

    I had a prediction that this match would be close until about 60 to 65 minutes, so I'm not too far off.

    It's interesting what you take from that half, there's been sparks from England but sometimes there are parts where the basics go amiss.

    The greasy ball has been an issue, but no excuses.

    It's that initial carry, with a low body position. It makes all the difference.

    Claudia Moloney-MacDonald (con Zoe Harrison)

    Claudia Moloney-MacDonald works off her wing and hits the gap. Superb attacking play by England.

    Claire Gallagher kicks it out on the full. Big chance now for England.

  20. England 12-12 Canada

    That should be a warning to England. Canada have been excellent in the opening half-hour.
