61, Toone scores for England!!!
Walsh spots Toone on the move and finds her with a brilliant, defence splitting pass. The substitute then lobs the keeper with an audacious, spectacular chip!
On the biggest stage, a moment of pure magic!

61, The game can resume as Mead takes a walk down the touchline. She appears to be limping and her night might be up.
England 0-0 Germany
59, A huge clash.
Mead slides in on Hegering and both players are down recieveing treatment.
They'll feel that one tomorrow morning.
Yellow card (Schuller) England 0-0 Germany
57, Schuller is set free one on one with the goalkeeper but she can't get a touch to it before Frohms. The German left a foot in on the keeper and picks up a booking.
Yellow card (Oberdorf) - England 0-0 Germany
56, Stanway checks inside Oberdorf and the referee has no choice but to book the midfielder. Good news for Egland fans.
England substitutions England 0-0 Germany
55, Here come the changes!
White and Kirby's nights are up. Toone and Russo are on to help inspire something.
England 0-0 Germany
53, Earps receives a huge roar from the crowd after plucking yet another ball in the air. She's led from the back this afternoon.
England 0-0 Germany
51, Schuller and Daly face up to one another as England have more defending to do.
Oberdorf calmly drives the ball forward and plays a low ball across the area. England just clear but it's back with Germany.
England 0-0 Germany
49, Another big chance for the Germans.
England, you have been warned.
A really slick move by Germany ends with Wassmuth who pokes the ball narrowly wide of the post. Fantastic build-up play from the visitors who have woken up here.
England 0-0 Germany
47, Chance for Germany!
Bright gets caught out and Wassmuth can have a run. She gets into a shooting position, but the effort is tame in the end and Earps can hold on to it.
England 0-0 Germany
46, Germany start the half well, recycling the ball to the wing where Gwinn floats one in.
The same then happens down the right-hand side but Earps does well to claim it in the air.
SECOND HALF - England 0-0 Germany
Here we go then!
45 more minutes to separate these two heavyweight nations.
One change to report for Germany. Wassmuth is on for Brand. England remain unchanged.
Decisions, decisions...
There has been a level of inconsistency with refereeing all tournament, but none more so than this afternoon.
Bookings have been given for the wrong challenges, and England have taken the brunt. Sarina Wiegman looked furious, and will have some decisions to make now, what with Stanway and White both on yellows.
HALF-TIME - England 0-0 Germany
The whistle is blown and the players head for the dressing rooms all square.
After an explosive start to the game saw England create a few good opportunities, the hosts then lost their momentum after a series of stoppages for bad challenges broke up the flow of the game.
White came close on two occasions, once with her head, and then with her left boot, blazing the ball just over the bar.
Germany had a chance with a manic goal mouth scramble. But England have looked the more threatening.
An almighty second half to come.

44, Stanway is late on her opposite number, but gets away with a second booking.
Gwinn then lazily passes the ball out of play.
You sense both teams need half-time here.
England 0-0 Germany
42, More fouls...
Oberdorf this time, bundles Kirby to the floor. The pace of the game has slowed, but the sting remains.
England 0-0 Germany
41, White tries to glance a header from the free-kick. It bobbles out to Bronze who attempts to keep it alive. England appeal for a penalty after an enthusiastic sliding challenge, but nothing doing.
Yellow card (Rauch) - England 0-0 Germany
40, Rauch leaves Mead in a heap on the floor and picks up a booking.
The challenges are flying in everywhere now.
England 0-0 Germany
38, Huge chance for England goes begging!
White, industrial as ever, slips the ball through for Mead who returns the favour. Running on to it, the England striker is leaning back on the stretch, sending the ball narrowly over the bar.
England 0-0 Germany
35, Gwinn is punished for... being kicked. Or at least that's how it looked on the replays. England get away with one. Perhaps some justice.
England 0-0 Germany
33, Mead is too quick and plays the ball inside to White who's touch is heavy. She nearly clatters her opposite number, pulling away just in time. She needs to be careful on that booking.
Germany then move it down the right. Gwinn's ball in is bravely plucked out of the air by Earps who felt some contact before going down. She's back to her feet now.
England 0-0 Germany
29, As we approach the half hour mark, it's difficult to say who will be the happier. It's been brilliantly manic, and you sense we're only getting started here.
The lionesses may feel hard done by. Germany have committed very similar challenges and got away scot-free.
England 0-0 Germany
27, England appeal for a handball in the area. The referee isn't interested.
England 0-0 Germany
26, Another heart in mouth moment for England fans as VAR check for a penalty.
It's quickly dismissed. England need to keep their cool.
England 0-0 Germany
25, SOMEHOW, England survive.
England can breathe again. The corner leads to a scramble in the box but Earps manages to claim it.
