England vs South Africa LIVE: Result and reaction as Lionesses clinch narrow win

61 mins: Chloe Kelly finds a touch of space and lets fly from range. She strikes it well and rattles the top of the crossbar!

58 mins: South Africa have scored their first ever goal against England with that Kgatlana finish. It was well taken and a sign of the quality she holds.

After setting up some fine chances for others in the first half she’s taken one herself and got her team back in the game.

55 mins: Great finish!

England are punished. It’s another error from the captain as a loose pass from Leah Williamson ends up giving possession away to the visitors.

Thembi Kgatlana sprints onto the ball and drives forward. She’s got plenty of work to do to bet Mary Earps but nestles a superb finish past the goalkeeper and pulls one back.

Game on!

51 mins: Tiisetso Makhubela barges into Grace Clinton and knocks her over. She lands awkwardly and jars her right arm. It looks like a painful one but she’s back up and ready to play on with a grimace of determination.

48 mins: Jess Park attempts to weave her way into the box from the left side but is halted before making any real progress.

England look to keep possession and control the tempo of the match again. A switch of play comes out to Kelly who decides against a forward run and slots it back inside to Park.

The visitors get the ball rolling again for the second half. They’ve made a couple of changes with Andile Dlamini replacing Kaylin Swart in goal and Kholosa Biyana coming on for Sinoxolo Cesane.

Here’s a look at Leah Williamson’s opener, it’s safe to say the England captain enjoyed that one:

England managed six shots in the first half with half of them hitting the target. The more worrying sign is that they allowed South Africa, ranked 50th in the world, to have four efforts.

The visitors lacked composure in front of goal or else this could have been a very different game.

So far so good for England. Grace Clinton has been the star of the show in the first half. Sarina Wiegman will be impressed.

45+4 mins: England head into the break with a strong lead but there have been plenty of opportunities for South Africa to strike at them.

Better quality in front of goal and this match could become interesting. Sarina Wiegman will be whelmed I think. England’s defence continues to cause issues.

Mary Earps has been solid in goal though to settle some nerves.
