Finally we are seeing Wiegman try new players in different positions. Magnificent to see Lucia Kendall play so well, she was great for Southampton for years. Perfect filling the chasm that England often have in midfield and had again against Brazil.

England midfielder Lucia Kendall, speaking on ITV 4 about making her debut: "It was amazing, to be honest. Felt at home, the girls were so easy to play with. You've got world-class players on that pitch, so it was easy to fit in.
On finding out she was playing: "Knew that I was playing last night. She [Sarina Wiegman] just said go and enjoy it and play how I've been playing at club and take it all in and play with a smile on my face."
On if her family attended: 'Yeah, I had my family here. It made it that much more special sharing that moment with them after they made so much sacrifice."
On if it was all she dreamed of: "When I was a little girl you couldn't even dream of that to be able to go out there to a sell-out crowd. Playing with a team that had just gone and won back-to-back Euros, it was really special."

She deserved her call up. She has done brilliantly tonight. Hopefully she will be in the next squad and continue to grow.

More from England manager Sarina Wiegman, speaking to ITV 4 about Lucia Kendall's debut: I think she did really well. She has impressed me and my staff since the start of the competition with Aston Villa, and she did also really well in the training sessions. You see she almost scored that goal. She picks up really good positions, but she reads the game really well.
"She understands things and that just comes with her and she keeps things really simple but that's not always easy. She has impressed us too, and that's why she deserved a start today.
"She's very young but very powerful, and she's strong too, but she also makes spaces for other people."

It was an England debut to remember for youngster Lucia Kendall, who sparkled in a player of the match performance.

England
England manager Sarina Wiegman, speaking on ITV 4: "Of course, we wanted to dominate the game and early in the game, a player was sent off for them and they go down to 10. We had a lesson the other day on how to do it against 10, so we wanted to keep up the pace of the game, create chances and harm them. I think we were OK on the ball but we can do better, especially in the final third, be tighter on the ball, be aligned a little more, make better decisions, then we could've scored a little bit more. Overall, we were solid when we didn't have the ball, I thought."
On the next set of friendly games: "What we always want to do is improve every single game and we know we have four games against four very different opponents, which gives us different challenges, which is exactly what we want. You don't get to play many friendlies anymore, so when you have those four, you want to get everything out of it and learn from it."

England goalscorer Aggie Beever-Jones, speaking on ITV 4 about Michelle Agyemang's injury: "It's never nice when someone goes off on a stretcher, let alone a teammate. I don't know what she's done, I just hope she's ok. It's never, ever nice to see anyone in pain like that. I'm just praying she's ok."
On her injury: "I think I'm OK. It's frustrating, I didn't want to come off, but sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture, and it's a friendly, and luckily they were down to 10 men, so it didn't make a big impact. I'll be OK, just wrap up and get some recovery in."

England boss Sarina Wiegman has just told ITV that Michelle Agyemang's injury "does not look good", though she says she has not been inside to speak to the medical staff.

From the Australia perspective, their record now stands at just two wins from their first five games under Joe Montemurro (P5, W2, L2, D1).
There is plenty of work to do for the Matildas who were well off it even before they went down to ten with Alanna Kennedy's 18th minute red card.
They conceded 18 shots (9 on target) while registering just two shots (one on target) at the other end.

England goalscorer Aggie Beever-Jones, speaking on ITV 4: "I think just playing football brings out the best in me if I'm honest, wherever I'm playing, I didn't even know I won that award [England's top scorer for 2024/25], if I'm honest. I don't look at the stats, I just come here to try and show Sarina [Wiegman] what I can do. I think you saw today that I was on the wing a little bit, which is something I haven't done in a while. Again, I love playing for England, no matter where I am. Happy to get on the scoresheet again.. It was a great performance today, hopefully we can take some good takeaways from it and get ready for the next camp.
"I think it was a really good team performance. I think we kept the ball really well. There weren't many unforced errors. It was really nice to get back in an England shirt and show everyone what we can do, especially in a wonderful stadium with so many fans after a wonderful summer."
FT: England 3-0 Australia
Before kick off England forward Beth Mead said her Arsenal colleagues in the Australia ranks were "friends turned enemies for the night".
Well, now the final whistle has blown in Derby there's plenty of chats happening between clubmates either side of the England/Australia divide.

A brilliantly composed finish. Georgia Stanway waited until the keeper moved and slotted it the other way.
A comfortable 3-0 win for England.

Michelle Agyemang taken off on stretcher in 80th minute
Lucy Bronze was involved in two goals as England beat Australia, who played with 10 players for more than 70 minutes in their friendly at Pride Park.
However, there were concerning scenes in the 80th minute when Euro 2025 star Michelle Agyemang was taken off on a stretcher with what appeared to be a knee injury, and after the match left the stadium on crutches.
The 19-year-old was treated on the pitch for several minutes before being given a standing ovation as she was replaced by Chloe Kelly.
Earlier, Australia defender Alanna Kennedy was shown a straight red card for denying Alessia Russo a goalscoring opportunity in the 19th minute.
It is the second time in four days England's opponents have gone down to 10 players early, but having failed to take advantage in Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Brazil, Sarina Wiegman's side made sure they did this time in Derby.
Chelsea forward Aggie Beever-Jones, who was England's top goalscorer in 2024-25, was given a rare start and took her opportunity, netting the opener from the resulting free-kick after Kennedy left the field.
On her 34th birthday and first start of the season following recovery from injury, Bronze went from provider to goalscorer when she doubled England's lead, stroking Ella Toone's cross into the bottom corner.
Substitute Georgia Stanway scored a penalty in stoppage time to make it 3-0 after a video assistant referee (VAR) review confirmed Missy Bo Kearns was tripped in the box.
It was a much better performance for England as they continue their 'homecoming series' - completing two of four friendlies in which they are celebrating their Euro 2025 success on home soil.
Victory means England have still never lost back-to-back games in the 72 matches under Wiegman.
Among Wiegman's five changes to the starting XI were debuts for Aston Villa midfielder Lucia Kendall and Arsenal defender Taylor Hinds - who both performed well.
England's next match is at Wembley against China on 29 November (17:30 GMT).
Beever-Jones 'asking questions' - should she start for England?
Injury to England's Agyemang 'looks bad' - Wiegman
It was an intriguing line-up from Wiegman, who has been hit with injuries during this camp and was without several key players for the second game running.
The absence of midfielders Grace Clinton and Jess Park provided an opportunity for Villa's Kendall, who has settled into Women's Super League (WSL) life remarkably well since moving from Southampton in the summer.
The 21-year-old, a relative unknown on the international scene, had caught Wiegman's eye with her mature and composed club performances - and this was no different.
She quickly looked at home in an England shirt, popping up in great positions on the edge of the box and coming close on several occasions, including heading the ball on to the crossbar in the second half.
Another debutant, Arsenal's Hinds, also put in a confident display, tracking back well and putting in tackles as Australia were unable to cause England many problems.
Their performances will have been welcomed by Wiegman, who already has one eye on the 2027 Women's World Cup and managing a thin squad because of injury.
After Agyemang's unsettling departure, Beever-Jones was taken off in the 82nd minute with England matching Australia's 10 players for the remainder of the game having used all their substitutions.
It was a solid display from Bronze though, who has not started a game for Chelsea this season, needing time to recover from the fractured tibia she played with during Euro 2025.
Captain Leah Williamson and forwards Lauren Hemp and Lauren James were already missing from the squad, as well as Clinton and Park, so Wiegman will hope to have more available for November's friendlies against China and Ghana.
After the opportunity to rate players has closed, the score displayed represents the average from all the submissions by BBC Sport users.
