Congrats Lionesses. Immense.

The loss to Senegal ranked as the third worst friendly defeat of England ever.

@england's 200th loss.

#ENGSEN

There was a bit of an altercation at the end of the game when Bellingham approached the assistant ref. He seemed to kick out a some boxes near the touchline. We might hear some more about that later.

All over in Nottingham. Senegal run out 3-1 winners. Tuchel has a lot of work to do.

England press for the equaliser but Senegal break and it's all over. Sabaly puts it out of doubt. 1-3

5 minutes of added time.

Bellingham from close range! 2-2

Saka off, Madueke on.
Rice off, Belligham on.

Saka nearly equalises. MGW does so well to turn the ball into his path for it goes angonisingly wide!

Gibbs-White almost has the home crowd wetting themselves. Eze flicks the ball down and MGW is only thwarted by a good save from the keeper.

Senegal take the lead! Diarra does so well on the right and slots between Henderson's legs. Nutmeg! 1-2.

Curtis on for Gallagher, Rogers for Kane and local boy Gibbs-White for Gordon

Jones is coming on for Walker, presumably, who has had a mare. Gibbs-White and Rogers too.

Serbia 3-0 up against Andorra.

Chance for Senegal in the opening stages of the 2nd half but Diarra skies one.

No changes for either team at halftime.

Half time here in Nottingham. England sluggish, and can't get out of the Senegalese press. The visitors have deserved their goal, but it could have been a different story if Gordon had put away an easy chance. I suspect changes are acoming.

The Senegal goal had been coming. Now Walker compounds his misery by getting a needless yellow card.

GOAL! Out of nowhere Sengeal equalise. Sarr with touch ahead of the plodding Walker after Jackson does well the turn in a cross. 1-1

Senegal are no mugs - they are pressing high up the pitch and forcing England into errors. Idrissa Gueye has a pop which Hnederson beats out.

Yellow for Colwill as he goes in harshly, says the ref, on Jackson.

Gordon misses a sitter at the far post from a Walker cross across the face of goal.

Serbs do what England couldn't - they're now two up against Andorra

Diatta goes into the book for tripping Gordon on the edge of the area. Promising free kick.

Sarr forces Henderson into a good save. Corner for the visitors which fizzles out.

Meannwhile Serbia are ahead against Andorra in World Cup Qualifying Group K.
