Ellie Kildunne, make it stop...the one-woman highlights reel sprints down the left and kicks the ball over the head of the last defender, she almost gathers it in for another sensational score but the bounce does her in the end.

That was really disappointing from Canada. That's the second line-out they've given away at a really important moment. Against a team like England, you just can't afford to do that.

The days of the men's game and 'just' the women's game are over. Watching with a great crowd in Portsmouth. Historic day!

A beauty of a kick from Canada skipper Alex Tessier pins England in their own 22 - but Abbie Ward steals the lineout back for the hosts. Set-piece FC.

I'm listening in from the beautiful state of Tirol in Austria surrounded by mountains. Sound like the ladies are putting in a mountainous performance so far. Keep it up Ladies!!!!!

You almost daren't say it but....a 13-point advantage over 40 minutes, if England don't nurse this home, it either will have been the mother of Canada performances or something much worse.
Next score is massive.

And away we go!

Canada are one of the smartest teams in this World Cup.
England need to play to that, they’ve been really balanced and happy with how that first half has been.
I had a tear at the anthems, there’s 80,000 people here and the game is delivering.
Here come the sides. First try is massive in this second half...

A massive second half is coming. England just need to stay focused, stay composed.
This is turning out to be pretty historic for all of us.

It's a fascinating opportunity. That's how you have to frame it when you go into a changing room when the game hasn't felt the way you wanted it to. This is a Canadian team playing England at a sold-out Twickenham for the first time. This is the first time they've faced adversity all tournament.
Sometimes the occasion has a way of narrowing your vision.

I have heard a lot of Bon Jovi today, it has to be said.

Hannah Botterman is running off some serious main character energy - popping up in all the significant places and celebrating each of her two turnovers with wide-eyed zeal.
Ellie Kildunne is the leading metre-maker in the game with 64m.
The indefatigable stadium hosts are leading a Bon Jovi singalong for the final time in this tournament. They will be celebrating as hard as anyone tonight.
