Women's Euro 2022 begins with England vs Austria – and the BBC commentators are both female for this one.
The BBC have brought an experienced commentary team to the Women's Euros, with the likes of Vicki Sparks and cult Robot Wars hero Jonathan Pierce among those tasked with being the voice of the tournament.
The opening game, however, takes a familiar route for the commentary team.
Who are the England vs Austria BBC commentators at Women's Euro 2022?
