England 0-0 Spain LIVE! Arnold Clark Cup result, match stream and latest updates today
After a 1-1 draw against Olympic champions Canada in their opening match of the Arnold Clark Cup, next up for England is a match against European title rivals Spain at Carrow Road.
The Lionesses remain unbeaten in seven games under Sarina Wiegman but this is set to be their toughest test so far as they continue their preperations for the Euros.
Spain manager Jorge Vilda has hailed Wiegmanâs team as the âbest England team everâ but Spain are favourites to win the Euros on these shores this summer.
Spainâs rise on the international stage has been rapid and fuelled by all-conquering Barcelona, with nine of their starting XI against Germany from the Champions League holders.
Spain conceded an 88th minute equaliser in their opening match against Germany as they were denied them three points against the eight-time European champions.

FULL-TIME
17:09 , Matt Verri
England 0-0 Spain
It finishes level at Carrow Road. Entertaining 90 minutes, even if neither could find a winning goal.
England will be encouraged by lots of that performance. Solid defensively and had chances to break the deadlock, with Hemp rattling the post and Nobbs going close too.
Both sides have two draws from two matches in the Arnold Clark Cup.
17:05 , Matt Verri
90+1 mins: Four minutes added on.
Free-kick for England, up come the defenders. Daly wins the header at the back post and heads it back into the six-yard box, doesnât fall to an England shirt.
Spain break quickly, finally they have some space. Del Castillo strikes it from the edge of the box, good save from Hampton.
17:03 , Matt Verri
89 mins: Del Castillo causing so many problems, past Bronze on the outside and goes for goal from a tight angle - into the side netting.
Few in the ground thought that might have been a goal.
17:01 , Matt Verri
86 mins: England have space to break into, again itâs worked out to the right where much of the danger has come from.
Cross whipped in, Mapi Leon there again to head away.
England keep the pressure on, Bronze fires a cross into the near post and White canât quite get there. Rebound falls to Kirby, but for some reason she decides not to shoot and the chance goes.
16:57 , Matt Verri
82 mins: Del Castillo with a superb run, England defenders canât get near here.
Twists Bronze inside out, has the chance to go for goal but opts to cut it back instead - no Spanish shirts there.
16:55 , Matt Verri
81 mins: Wonderful from Bronze, beats two Spanish defenders and she has space for the cross.
Lifts it to the far post, once again Hemp is lurking but sheâs too far back to get on the end of it.
16:53 , Matt Verri
79 mins: Spain with their best moment in a while, as Hermoso twists into space in the box and curls an effort at goal- straight at Hampton.
Been an impressive senior debut for the 21-year-old in goal.
16:51 , Matt Verri
77 mins: Walsh clips a lovely ball out wide to Bronze, who chops inside and curls a ball into the box.
Aimed towards Hemp at the back post, but she canât get on the end of it and Spain clear.
16:47 , Matt Verri
73 mins: Fran Kirby on for England - can she make the difference?
Lionesses seeing plenty of the ball now, Bronze tries to drive into the box but overruns the ball and Rodriguez is off her line to comfortably gather.
16:45 , Matt Verri
71 mins: England starting to put on some real pressure now.
Hemp wins the ball back well, plays it through to White. She drives into the box, but canât get it out of her feet and the striker is quickly crowded out by the Spanish defenders.
Lionesses need to make more of these chances.
16:43 , Matt Verri
69 mins: Walsh already having an impact, playing a couple of nice passes through the lines.
Bronze has Stanway free on her inside but instead clips it into the box, itâs a poor cross and easily cleared. Decision making hasnât been there for the Lionesses so far.
16:41 , Matt Verri
67 mins: Stanway the latest player into the book for a late lunging challenge.
Itâs a decent ball drilled into the box from Spain, but nobody can get on the end of it and the ball runs through for Hampton.
16:39 , Matt Verri
65 mins: Great ball through the middle from Hermoso and Garcia looks to momentarily be clean through.
Carter has other ideas, getting across quickly and slamming the door shut.
16:36 , Matt Verri
62 mins: Surely this canât stay goalless for long...
Putellas nearly in through the middle, but Greenwood slides in with a brilliant tackle to stop her progress. Falls to Del Castillo who lofts an effort over the bar.
Nobbs and Scott off for England, Williamson and Walsh on.
16:33 , Matt Verri
59 mins: BIG CHANCE!
Cross into the box from Spain, loops up of an England head and drops to Garcia at the back post. Sheâs completely free, but sends an effort wide of the far post. Should really have done better.
16:29 , Matt Verri
55 mins: Stanway now lines an effort up from distance, straight at Rodriguez though.
Spain break themselves and get to the byline, but itâs good defending from Carter to clear the danger.
16:28 , Matt Verri
53 mins: Great run from deep by Nobbs and sheâs in behind.
Canât quite sort her feet out though, forces herself wide and then drags the effort past the far post. Plenty of signs of encouragement for the Lionesses.
16:25 , Matt Verri
51 mins: WHAT A CHALLENGE!
England work it really well and they have space straight through the middle. Mead slides it through to White, she briefly looks to be clean through but Mapi Leon gets back and slides in to clear the danger.
White didnât quite have the pace to get away from the centre-back.
16:23 , Matt Verri
49 mins: Free-kick swung into the box, Ivana volleys it at goal and it hits her own teammate Hermoso which sends it spinning away out of play.
Both sides looking far more dangerous since the break.
16:22 , Matt Verri
48 mins: Action-packed after the break. Mead with a late challenge and she goes into the book, first yellow of the match for England.
She caught Hermoso, booking maybe a bit harsh though.
16:20 , Matt Verri
46 mins: HEMP HITS THE POST!
Incredible start to the half. Terrible pass from Spain, straight to Hemp 25 yards out. She brings it forward, drills an effort at goal and it crashes off the inside of the post. So, so close.
Back underway!
16:19 , Matt Verri
Here we go then, up and running for the second-half.
Change from England at the break, Hemp comes on to replace Parris.
Cardona off, Del Castillo on for Spain.
16:14 , Matt Verri
Spain had 66% of the ball in the opening 45 minutes, but just one shot on target to show for it.
Thatâs one more than England managed - Lionesses not able to get their attacking players on the ball as much as they would have liked.
One of Englandâs best moments...
16:09 , Matt Verri
An excellent @bmeado9 cross is met by @ellsbells89, but her glancing header falls wide.

HALF-TIME
16:02 , Matt Verri
Goalless at the break at Carrow Road.
No goals and no big chances for either side. Spain with a lot of possession, but they havenât been able to play their way through the Lionesses very often.
England not carrying a huge threat themselves, that may come more in the second half as they make changes.
16:01 , Matt Verri
45 mins: Meadâs cross is flicked on by Nobbs, very nearly finds White but it bobbles away to safety for Spain.
Just one minute added on at the end of the half.
15:57 , Matt Verri
42 mins: Garcia cuts inside and gets a curling effort away at goal, but itâs straight at Hampton.
England havenât created much themselves, but itâs been an impressive defensive showing.
15:55 , Matt Verri
40 mins: Mead pounces on a loose pass and knocks it past Batlle, who clatters into the Arsenal forward.
Five minutes to go until the break and the Lionesses will be fairly satisfied with their efforts so far.
15:53 , Matt Verri
38 mins: Much better from England, Mead does really well on the right wing to keep the ball in play and then line up the cross.
Whipped in towards the near post, White gets across the defender and wins the header but not enough on the effort and itâs flicked well wide.
15:51 , Matt Verri
36 mins: Putellas with a low cross into the box, not a great one and itâs easily cleared.
England struggling to get out when they do win it back. Plenty of possession from Spain, not much end product yet though.
15:48 , Matt Verri
33 mins: Challenges flying in now, Ivana once again goes through the back of White and the referee shows her a yellow card. Thatâs the first of the match.
Official waited to see if there was an advantage first, and Bronze and Leon then went crunching into a tackle.
Bronze lifts it through to White, she would have been in behind but the offside flag denies her.
15:46 , Matt Verri
31 mins: Brilliant challenge from Scott on Putellas, stops the Spanish midfielder in her tracks and won the ball back.
England then lose it and appeal for a free-kick, nothing given though. Neither side able to get a huge amount of control on the match.
15:44 , Matt Verri
28 mins: Long ball for England as they try and avoid the Spanish press, White presses Rodriguez and forces her to kick it straight out but the offside flag goes up.
White has barely had a touch in the match so far, struggling to get involved.
15:41 , Matt Verri
26 mins: Spain win it high up the pitch and itâs a great chance to counter.
Comes to Bonmati, Greenwood does just about enough to force her wide. Drilled low into the box, Hampton gets a good punch on it to clear the danger.
15:39 , Matt Verri
24 mins: Spain starting to have more and more joy.
Putellas and Garcia with a brilliant one-two which puts Garcia in behind, she fires it into the six-yard box but Carter is there to put it behind for a corner.
Deep ball from Hermoso, Daly flicks it away at the back post and England then win a cheap free-kick. Parris very nearly lost it in her box as she tried to bring out, canât be taking those risks.
15:37 , Matt Verri
21 mins: Garcia tries to knock it past Bronze on the left, but Parris gets back to help her right-back and the England duo see it out for a goal-kick.
Itâs been an enjoyable first 20 minutes or so at Carrow Road, evenly matched.
15:34 , Matt Verri
18 mins: That was very nearly disastrous for the Lionesses. Ball over the top from Spain, Carter and Hampton get in each otherâs way and itâs not cleared at all.
Bonmati goes for the lob from distance with Hampton off her line, too much on it and it floats over the bar.
15:32 , Matt Verri
16 mins: Probably Englandâs best moment of the match as they play around the Spanish press.
Nobbs brings it forward and slides it wide to her Arsenal teammate Mead. The winger cuts inside and whips a nice ball into the box, goalkeeper gathers it though. Scott was free at the back post if the ball had a bit more on it.
Bronze gets England back on the attack though, winning a corner. Greenwood swings it in... Rodriguez comes and doesnât get there, but itâs headed away.
15:29 , Matt Verri
14 mins: Flailing arm from Garcia catches Daly, England kick it out so she can get some treatment.
She looks in a fair bit of pain, holding her mouth - looks like sheâs going to be fine to continue though.
15:27 , Matt Verri
12 mins: Scott slides in and sends a pass through to White, but Rodriguez is standing on the edge of her area and comes charging out to clear.
Offside flag goes up anyway, England captain was well beyond the last defender.
15:26 , Matt Verri
10 mins: Cardona with a lovely turn on the right wing, gets past Daly and sheâs pulled back. England defender a bit fortunate to avoid a yellow card there.
Spain go long this time, looking for the run in behind but Hampton is off her line well to gather.
15:22 , Matt Verri
7 mins: Greenwood fizzes it into White who has dropped deep, and Ivana slides straight through the England captain. Free-kick.
Bronze looking to bomb forward as ever on the right, long diagonal ball towards her is well cut out by Batlle.
Scott has Englandâs first shot of the match from just outside the box, scoops it wide.
15:20 , Matt Verri
4 mins: England crowd out Putellas and briefly win it back, but Meadâs flick is straight to a red shirt and the visitors have it back.
Spain pressing right up the pitch whenever they donât have the ball. Stanway surrounded by four players immediately and sheâs caught in possession.
15:17 , Matt Verri
2 mins: Bright opening seconds from England, as Bronze gets to the byline and cuts it back to Parris but she canât control it.
Spain quickly settle into their comfortable possession though, England happy to sit off a bit and let them have it at the back.
KICK-OFF!
15:15 , Matt Verri
We are up and running!
A draw against Canada in their first Arnold Clark Cup match - what can England manage against Spain?
15:10 , Matt Verri
Here we go then, players are out onto the pitch at Carrow Road.
Rain continues to fall, not exactly a pleasant afternoon. Plenty in the stands braving the conditions though!
15:06 , Matt Verri
Less than ten minutes to go until kick-off.
Spain expected to have the majority of possession, full of players from the all-conquering Barcelona side. England have to be effective when they do manage to win it back.
Warm-ups almost done
15:00 , Matt Verri
14:54 , Matt Verri
England defender Millie Bright has called on the Lionesses to be âmore clinical and ruthlessâ in front of goal after drawing their opening match of the Arnold Clark Cup.
âWe could have had more than just the one goal, so itâs about being more clinical and ruthless in the final third,â Bright said.
âIf we put our chances away in the first half then we donât leave ourselves in a position where they get one goal and theyâre back in it. But it was a fantastic goal by them.
âWith every game you can take away lots of positives, but also lots to work on and it is just about staying on our journey and developing game in, game out.â
All to play for...

England drew 1-1 with Canada in their Arnold Clark Cup opener on Thursday.
The Lionesses had won their first six games under Sarina Wiegman without conceding a goal but the Olympic champions were always expected to provide a much sterner test at the Riverside and so it proved, as a stunner from Janine Beckie cancelled out Millie Brightâs volley.

Spain manager Jorge Vilda has hailed Sarina Wiegmanâs side as the âbest England team everâ ahead of the game.
âWeâve prepared well for this game, theyâve been training really well and weâve been doing exercises based on dealing with high intensity opponents,â said Vilda.
âI personally believe that this is perhaps the best England team ever. Theyâve got plenty of youth in the side, players who play with coverage.â
England team news
13:45 , Giuseppe Muro
England manager Sarina Wiegman has confirmed she will make changes this afternoon.
Speaking at her pre-match press conference on Saturday, she said: "Yes, there will be some changes.
"As we said before this camp, we have the opportunity to try out some things because we have three games in six days.
"We want to see some things, we want to develop our style of play and we want to see combinations of players together to see how they connect, so tomorrow we have that opportunity and we will make some changes."
Manchester City defender Lucy Bronze, who had not played for her country since undergoing knee surgery during the summer, and record goalscorer Ellen White were second-half substitutes against Canada and will hope to start.
