England will look build on the momentum gained from a flawless group stage when they take on Cameroon in Valenciennes in the last 16 of the Women's World Cup.
The Lionesses beat 2011 winners Japan on Tuesday to secure top spot in Group D with a 100% record.
Cameroon, meanwhile, reached the knockout stages courtesy of a stoppage-time winner from Ajara Nchout against New Zealand.
That ensured Alain Djeumfa’s side finished third in Group E and qualified as one of the best third-placed sides by virtue of having scored one goal more than Group F's third-placed Chile.

England forward Georgia Stanway has backed manager Phil Neville's selection policy and believes it has given the team the best chance of reaching the latter stages of the World Cup.
Neville has not been afraid to rotate his squad as he plots a long stay in France, with no other manager at the tournament making more than the 12 changes he has made so far.
That policy has certainly raised eyebrows but has proven to be a masterstroke, with England breezing through the group stages with three wins from three.
In doing so they became just the second England team to win all their World Cup group games, the first being Ron Greenwood’s men’s side at the 1982 tournament.
"Phil has the trust of everybody," said Stanway. "Almost everyone has had the opportunity to get out on the pitch, there are some who haven’t had that yet but I am most certain that they’ll get their opportunity at some point and that shows the depth within our team.
"Whenever someone scores the whole bench leap up and everyone is celebrating together because we are one, whether you’re playing or not that is just the bond that we have within our team.”
Neville may seek to freshen up his side again against Cameroon as, despite their group stage win, they are in the tougher side of the draw with the possibility of hosts France or holders the United States to come if they reach the semi-finals.
The team selection is already likely to have been decided, with the Lionesses boss preferring to tell the players of his team days rather than hours before kick-off.
That policy has been praised by Stanway, who feels it has contributed to the strong team spirit amongst the squad.
“It gives you a few days to relax to settle into it, there’s nothing worse than being told hours before kick-off and getting worked up about it, thinking that you’re not prepared so it’s nicer to know in advance,” added the Manchester City forward. “I think as girls it can take longer to get over disappointment so you have a night to sleep on it and you’re fresher in the morning."
Though the two sides have never met at the Women's World Cup the clash does evoke memories of Italia 90, when Bobby Robson's England side beat the Indomitable Lions 4-2 after extra-time to reach the semi-finals.
The winners of Sunday's game will face Norway in the quarter-finals in Le Havre after their penalty shootout win over Australia on Saturday.
