ENGLAND 0 GERMANY 0
SUNDERLAND-BORN Jill Scott was one of England's heroes as they earned a superb 0-0 draw with reigning world champions Germany in the women's World Cup finals in China.
Scott played the full 90 minutes as England kept their hopes of qualifying for the competition's quarter-finals alive courtesy of a hard-earned point in Shanghai.
The result means England have two points in Group A, two behind Germany and Japan with just Argentina to play next Monday.
