Again everything is going down the right. Lucy Bronze searches for Parris but her cross is poor.

Parris tucks in from the right and Duggan switches wings to cross for Ellen White, but Cameroon clear again.

England looking to create overloads out wide as expected. Jill Scott looking to drag the centre halves out of position.

Yvonne Leuko booked for a rather rash chellenge on Parris. It looked like an elbow but VAR didn't intervene. Free kick for England came to nothing.

Physicality will be a huge factor for Cameroon today. Some tasty challenges going in already.

Kick off! Cameroon get us underway.
16:26
Anthems done. Here we go!
16:23
The two sides are entering the field now. Can England reach a fourth successive quarter final?
16:19
As for Cameroon, they'll be looking to Ajara Nchout for inspiration. The winger scored a brace against New Zealand and will be a threat for England.
16:16
It seems as though England will be aiming to target the flanks again today, and perhaps having Toni Duggan alongside Parris outwide, with Lucy Bronze flying forward from right-back. It'll be interesting to see how Cameroon deal with that.
16:11
Jill Scott is set to make her 140th appearance for England today, going level with Alex Scott. She’ll be crucial to the Lionesses in midfield alongside Keira Walsh.
16:02
Cameroon gave European champions Holland a rough ride in the group stage, and Australia were beaten by the side waiting for the winner here, Norway. This isn't a game to underestimate for England.
15:58
Phil Neville certainly knows the magnitude of today's game and isn't underestimating Cameroon, who came into the tournament in 46th place according to the FIFA world rankings, 43 below England.
15:44
There is now just one African team standing in this year's World Cup after Germany's win over Nigeria yesterday. England beat the Super Eagles in their only meeting with an African team, in 1995
15:43
Cameroon have reached the knockout stages for the second successive time but were knocked out at this stage four years ago.
15:39
England have won all their games so far, while Cameroon have a narrow win over New Zealand to thank for sneaking through their group. The Lionesses are clear and obvious favourites.
15:35
The big news for England is the return of Nikita Parris, who sat out the win over Japan last week. This is arguably Phil Neville's strongest XI, with all 23 players fit and available. Toni Duggan also starts out wide, supporting top scorer Ellen White.
15:34
Here's the team news for both sides.
