Lotte Wubben-Moy and Alex Greenwood come in for Williamson and Taylor Hinds at the back. Lucia Kendall replaces Jess Park in midfield.<\/p>\n

England XI<\/b>: Hampton, Bronze, Wubben-Moy, Morgan, Greenwood, Walsh, Stanway, Kendall, James, Russo, Hemp.<\/p>\n

Subs<\/i>: Moorhouse, Roebuck, Le Tissier, Blindkilde Brown, Carter, Hinds, Kelly, Parkinson, Mead, Park, Charles, Barry.<\/p>\n
