The 2022 European Champions are on course for the knockout stages.

England have made it two wins from two at the FIFA Women's World Cup.

A 6th minute strike from Lauren James was enough as they beat Denmark 1-0 in Group D in Sydney.

The disappointing news for England was that Keira Walsh injured her knee in the game.

In the same Group, China held out for a 1-0 win over Haiti with thanks to a penalty from Wang Shuang.

Earlier in Group G, Argentina and South Africa played out a 2-2 draw.

Linda Motlhalo and Thembi Kgatlana gave the African side a two-goal advantage, but two goals in five minutes from Sophia Braun and Romina Núñez saved Argentina a point.
