Watch, listen and follow live text updates as co-hosts Australia face England in the Women's World Cup semi-final.
Australia v England The co-hosts of the tournament have carried the hopes of a nation, embracing the pressure and using it to their advantage to see off Olympic champions Canada and European giants France en route to the last four.
A hostile crowd will await England in the semi-finals and, while this is nothing they have not faced before - Colombia certainly did not make them feel welcome in Sydney - the impact of a sold-out home crowd is something Wiegman's side know only too well after reaping the benefit at Euro 2022. Australia have not only built momentum on the pitch with their agonising dramatic penalty shootout win over France in the quarter-finals, but they are transforming support off it.
Free-to-air viewing figures have gone through the roof in Australia, its flagship Channel 7 pushed back its 6pm news bulletin on Saturday, and kick-off times for other sports events, including Aussie rules, have been moved to avoid fixture clashes with the Matildas. Fan festivals and large outdoor screens have popped up across Sydney city centre and now a nation which obsessed in a cricket rivalry with England in the Ashes this summer are set to embrace the latest battle between the countries in football.
