I simply cannot stand live blogging penalties, so please, if you are reading this, go and watch the game- or listen on the radio! Come on England

Full time: we are off to penalties!

Two added minutes.

Another change for England as Clinton replaces Stanway

Over from Lopez after a good drive by Caldentey

Spain are still on top here- perhaps England can only hope for penalties

Half time in extra time and it’s still Spain 1-1 England , after Batlle’s cross flashed across goal.

Another rock solid display in a final from Leah Williamson

Excellent hold-up play from Agyemang there as England enjoy some rare possession in Spain’s half.

Or is Bronze going to try and continue! I think she is.

It looks like Bronze’s race is run and she will go off injured, to be replaced by Charles.

Hemp is booked for a late foul on Bonmati

We’re underway again- 30 minutes and maybe penalties to go!

Full time after 90 minutes: Spain 1-1 England. We are off to extra time after Russo’s header cancelled out Caldentey’s.

The substitutes are making things happen for Spain and Lopez shoots high and wide. Extra time looms.

Lopez and Paralluelo come on for Del Castillo and Gonzalez.

5 minutes until extra time, as Beth Mead comes on.

Back underway after Hampton received treatment.

Superb drive into the box by the underlapping Williamson but her pass can only find a Spain player!

Hampton saves a powerful Pina drive

On come Agyemang and Pina- Russo is replaced.

So close! Kelly’s shot is tipped around the post by Cata Coll.

Simply not happening for Lucy Bronze, who is really struggling. Claudia Pina preparing to come on for Spain as Michelle Agyemang’s name is sung by the England fans.

It’s the Arsenal combination and game on!

Gooooaaaaallll!!! Alessia Russo with the header, assisted by Chloe Kelly!

Now Caldentey shoots just wide before Spain defend well up the other end

Hampton saves Bonmati’s effort after Del Castillo skips past Stanway.

Back underway in Basel and England have it all to do.

The teams are back out for the second half.

Spain have taken their chance and England’s defence switched off for the goal. They’re going to have to pull off yet another comeback to retain their European title!

Half time: Spain 1-0 England

An impactful start for Kelly who cuts inside and drags a shot just wide.

On comes Arsenal’s Chloe Kelly, replacing the injured Lauren James in the 41st minute.

England are under pressure here with Spain dominating midfield.

England concede first for the third game in a row and Bronze afforded Caldentey far too much space.

Goal! Mariona Caldentey heads home from Batlle’s cross and World Champions Spain strike first! 1-0

Lovely play from Spain and Arsenal’s Caldentey fires wide from the edge of the box.

Best chance so far! Tremendous pressure from England and Hemp’s shot is saved by the legs of Cata Coll.

Better from England and Stanway’s first-time effort is straight at Cata Coll.

And now Caldentey plays in Carmona- her cutback sets up Gonzalez but her shot is miscued over the bar.

Good save by Hampton at her near post to deny Gonzalez.

Russo’s shot is saved by Cata Coll and James can’t turn in the rebound.

The Euro 2025 final is underway! And we’re guaranteed to have an Arsenal player on the winning side.

St-Jakob Park in Basel is the venue, the first time England and Spain have played here in this tournament.

Out comes the trophy before the national anthems.

Time for the closing ceremony, which everyone wants, of course.

Arsenal star Mariona Caldentey starts out wide for Spain, rather than in her deeper midfield role for the Gunners. There’s plenty of media talk about how England can learn from Arsenal’s UWCL win over Barcelona just a couple months ago.

It’s a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final, which saw Spain win 1-0 thanks to Olga Carmona’s strike.

Agyemang scored in England’s quarter and semi finals, to take both games to extra time, before Arsenal’s Kelly netted the winner against Sweden.

Agyemang scored in England’s quarter and semi finals, to take both games to extra time, before Arsenal’s Kelly netted the winner against Sweden.

And here's Kelly on Agyemang speaking to the BBC: "The mentality, the pace, the strength, the talent she has. She's got the world at her feet and I'm excited for her future."

It could be a final defined by substitutes- Chloe Kelly and Michelle Agyemang for England, and the dangerous Claudia Pina for Spain.

One change for England as Esme Morgan is replaced by Jess Carter, coming back into the side after Morgan played the semi-final win over Italy.
