73 min: Russo won’t get the match ball. She departs, as does Hemp. On come the Chelsea duo of Lauren James and Aggie Beever-Jones.

Stanway takes the ball on the edge of the area, in the left channel, and puts the laces right through it to find the top left corner.

69 min: Hemp twists and turns on the edge of the area as England get some rhythmic passing going.

66 min: Again, it was Hemp cutting into the middle from the right that created that goal. That slight tactical tweak – the swap with Park – has changed the game.

61 min: Just when you thought Ukraine were about to fall apart, legs heavy from that first-half resistance, they find themselves back in it. The subs are getting ready to give them another burst.

Ukraine have their first chance to properly get forward in this match, winning a free-kick on the right. Andrukhiv whips in a good-looking ball, it drops nicely for Kalinina inside the area and she latches on to it, somehow finding the gap, placing the ball to Hampton’s right. Ukraine are beyond jubilant.

56 min: Hemp cutting in from the right has caused Ukraine a lot of bother this half. Park fires in a dangerous low ball from the left as England queue up for more.

55 min: Russo is pushing for a hat-trick, getting her head on it inside the area for the umpteenth time – she can’t get enough power with a looping effort.

53 min: England have turned things up this half; they work a corner short, Park, jinking away, finds Stanway on the edge of the six-yard box … her shot is blocked out for another corner.

A change of wings has worked for England. Hemp, out on the right this half, cuts back and plays to Russo, who nips in at the front post for a sneaky tap-in.

51 min: That’ll bring some calm to England after a weird first half.

A couple of quick passes outside the D, the ball then finding Russo inside the area, on the left. She twists, cleverly, to leave the defender on the floor before finding the bottom right corner. Fast, fluid work by the visitors.

Time for a couple of changes: Poppy Pattinson makes her England debut, replacing Hinds. Esme Morgan is on for Williamson.

England have been wasteful in front of goal, which will frustrate Sarina Wiegman, but surely it’s only a matter of time before they find the breakthrough.

45+3 min: Russo, for the first time in a while, finds room in the middle for a header but can’t get the power or direction.

45+2 min: England are stuck outside the Ukraine area, wheeling it from wing to wing, unable to play the defence-splitting pass.

45 min: We’ve got three minutes added on.

44 min: Hemp is taking control, looking to dribble past anyone put up in front of her. Park’s cross from the right can’t find a connection.

40 min: Hemp decides to go past everyone, slipping past yellow shirts to dance into the area … but she can’t keep her balance, her low effort travelling wide. England’s patience is getting tested now.

39 min: Williamson has had enough of building from the back; she lets fly from outside the area, but it’s straight at Samson.

38 min: Wubben-Moy gives the ball away cheaply but Ukraine can’t make it count when they take possession.

36 min: Hinds is on corner duties from the left as another one comes and goes, failing to cause Ukraine any serious bother.

35 min: Park volleys in the area … but doesn’t middle it.

33 min: The goal-saving clearance was by Shaynyuk. Ukraine are hanging in there, not letting England cut through, but they’re not providing much at all with the ball.

32 min: Somehow, it’s still nil-nil. Another England corner comes in, the ball lands inside the mixer for Wubben-Moy, with her back to goal; she backheels with power but is met with a clearance off the line.

29 min: Andrukhiv is down for Ukraine, prompting a break in play.

28 min: Hemp jinks down the wing, crosses for Russo … and it’s another corner for England.

26 min: England are freely mixing up their positions, moving the ball at decent pace; there’s not much dithering around.

23 min: Le Tissier dinks the ball in to the area … there’s a game of pinball, a shout for handball, and Russo has a header blocked. England are all over their opponents.

22 min: Stanway, running the show at the moment, is bundled down by Shaynyuk. England have a free-kick out on the left …

19 min: Blindkilde Brown, inside the area, has two goes to shoot … the ball hits the underside of the crossbar and, somehow, doesn’t cross the line.

19 min: Replays shows Samson celebrating her save against Stanway; she’s pumped up. Plenty more of that required here.

18 min: Park is eating up plenty of ground for England, drifting into the middle to open up space for Le Tissier on the right. Stanway pulls off a nutmeg in midfield before launching from outside the area … Samson makes a strong save moving to her right.

14 min: Le Tissier finds space on the right but her cross into the middle meets a group of yellow shirts.

13 min: … England play it short, but can’t pull off the training-ground routine.

12 min: Park wins England a corner with a deflected strike …

11 min: The game is being exclusively played inside the Ukraine half.

9 min: Nearly an opener for England: Stanway’s ball in from the left finds the leaping Russo … her header, searching for the top left corner, travels over the bar. The Arsenal forward is on the hunt.

8 min: This is really sad; a stretcher is on to take Kozlova off. She’s replaced by Lidiia Zaborovets.

7 min: Oh dear, Kozlova is down on the pitch in serious pain. She didn’t make contact with anyone, just twisting awkwardly before falling to the ground.

6 min: Stanway shows quick feet in midfield before Russo, inside the area, is quick to turn and shoot from the left-hand side, forcing Samson to get low and make her first save of the night.

4 min: Ukraine, it’s worth saying, have never reached the World Cup; Euro 2009 is their only major tournament appearance.

3 min: Hemp finds room out on the left, her low ball in cleared inside the area.

2 min: England set up camp inside the Ukraine half, the nominal hosts dropping very deep.

1 min: England take hold of possession, wheeling it around at the back, Williamson getting a good look at the ball.

The Ukraine players are draped in their national flag as they sing the national anthem.

England are wearing black armbands in a tribute to Lynda Hale, who played in their first formal international. Her name is spelled out by supporters in the crowd.

Ukraine’s Nicole Kozlova, who plays for Glasgow City, explains to Sky Sports just how arduous the journey is for her teammates to get to Turkey.

People need to realise – first, the girls need to get to Kyiv depending on where they live. Then it’s a 15-hour train ride with a five-hour standstill at the border, sometimes more.

They then have to take a flight all the way to Turkey, usually a midnight flight. So it takes at least 24 hours and every trip is like that. They’re kind of used to it now, but I know it never gets easier.

Alex Greenwood is missing for England with a “minor muscle injury”. Leah Williamson returns for her first international appearance since the Euros. England make six changes from their last fixture, a friendly victory over Ghana in December.
