The best chance of the half fell to Nigeria in the 33rd minute but Mary-Ann failed to steer the ball into the net.
It was England who dominated possession at the end of first half with 55 per cent to Nigeria's 45.
The Europeans were also in ascendancy in the second half but were unable to find the winner as Nigeria created a number of half chances.

The Flamingoes will face Korea in their last group game on Saturday needing a win to reach the second round.
