Keira Walsh’s drilled cross is nearly met by Beth Mead as Janina Minge makes an excellent defensive header.

Into five added minutes. Frankly, there could have been more after this madcap half.

Buhl once more. The left winger latches on to Linda Dallman’s pass and only Lucy Bronze’s recovery speed and a touch of dilly-dallying from the German ensure that Hannah Hampton’s goal is not challenged again.

It’s like a basketball game. Klara Buhl has two crosses blocked by Leah Williamson, the second of them looping into Hannah Hampton’s hands.

So close to an equaliser! A truly incomprehensibly bad pass from Sara Doorsoun is ill-conceived and poorly executed, granting Ella Toone free run on goal. She tries to curl along the carpet into the corner but pushes her shot wide of the post.

A mad game. Germany manager Christian Wuck is furious because Georgia Stanway bodychecked a Germany player in midfield, before going up the other end of the pitch to fire in. It wasn’t given by the referee.

But at the other end, England have a second!

Georgia Stanway again! What a game this is turning into. Alessia Russo drops deeper and takes on playmaking duties, finding Beth Mead all alone curving in from the right. An onrushing Stanway is set up by the wing and neatly lifts her finish over Ann-Katrin Berger. Five goals in the first half - and with the way this is being played, there could yet be more before the interval.

England just look so, so uncertain defensively. Another Klara Buhl surge has them panicking before a strong intervention from Millie Bright.

The Bayern Munich midfielder makes no mistake against a few familiar foes. Dispatched with authority, though her scurry to collect the ball from the back of the net only further reveals England’s plight.

And to the spot the finger is pointed for a second time in the first half. Georgia Stanway has the ball...

Now then. A VAR check as a sliding Giulia Gwinn is struck on a flaying arm. It would be harsh, but you’ve seen them given...and over to the monitor goes the referee.
