Follow live updates as England play Italy in their second match of the Arnold Clark Cup.
The Lionesses opened the four-team tournament with a commanding 4-0 victory over South Korea on Thursday and Sarina Wiegman will hope her team can produce another strong performance in front of their home fans today in Coventry.
Goals from Georgia Stanway, Chloe Kelly, Alessia Russo and Lauren James wrapped up England’s first win in Milton Keynes, but Wiegman has made changes and rotated her squad ahead of Wednesday night’s fixture against Belgium.
Italy, who have also qualified for this summer’s World Cup, were beaten by Belgium in their opening match after a late winner from the forward Tessa Wullaert.

47 mins: Early chance for Daly! The link-up play between Robinson and Le Tissier has been a real plus for England, and the full-back picks out Daly with a clipped ball into the box. It’s a little behind Daly, whose hooked effort at goal goes wide.

Back underway! So Nobbs and Zelem are on for Walsh and Park in midfield.
