England Womens friendly against France on Saturday 20 October will be broadcast live on BBC Three at 19.50 BST.

This will be the Three Lions first match since they secured qualification to Euro 2013 by beating Croatia 3-0 last month. It will also be the third England game in succession to be broadcast live by BBC, after the Croatia game and the 1-0 win over Holland in June.

France knocked England out of the 2011 World Cup, they are ranked fifth in the world and they finished fourth at London 2012. England National Coach, Hope Powell, is expecting a challenging encounter.
