The match, which was shown by BBC One on Tuesday evening, attracted the highest ratings of the tournament so far.
England face either France or Germany in the final which kicks off at 5pm on Sunday.
The final will be shown live on BBC One and could see the biggest UK TV audience for a women’s football match.

Sunday’s match will be England’s first European Championship final since 2009.
The Lionesses, who have never won the competition, triumphed over Sweden on Tuesday night following goals from Beth Mead, Lucy Bronze, Alessia Russo and Fran Kirby.
