  1. TRY REVIEW

    It is not game over yet! Samoa trundle over the line but we go upstairs again to find out whether it was a legal touchline. Looks good to me...

  3. Brian Noble
    Former Great Britain coach on BBC Two

    "Here you go, there were question marks over the England half-backs, saying they can't do this and that, but they have kicked well today. The difference in the last 10 minutes has been the kicking game."

  4. CONVERTED TRY

    Sam Tomkins's underwear is revealed as he stretches out for the line - but he is not the one left embarrassed. That's Samoa full-back Tim Simona for his juggling act. The video referee awards the try and Gareth Widdop boots over the sticks. That's six from six for the England half-back.

    Oh, and black briefs. Tomkins is wearing black briefs for anyone who is interested...

  5. TRY REVIEW

    Another high bomb from Matty Smith causes all sorts of panic in the Samoan defence. Full-back Tim Simona makes a complete hash of his gather, allowing Sam Tomkins to take advantage.

  6. Great pressure from England as they win back possession. Scrum-half Matty Smith closes down Samoan kicker Ben Roberts to force his opposite number into a heavy touch.

  7. Dan Short: Honestly, that should be no-try for England because Joel Tomkins was offside as the kick is played. #4Nations, #BBCRL, #FourNations.

  8. Ian Millward
    Former Super League and Australian NRL coach on BBC Two

    "We come back to the last two kicks. Ben Roberts's was poor but Matty Smith created pressure. It is such a vital part of the game. If they can control the ball, England can win because Samoa were ahead emotionally there. There is plenty of time on the clock."

  9. CONVERTED TRY

    Nope. Shenton's contribution, as he leapt into the stuffy Brisbane air to gather Matty Smith's high kick, went backwards rules the video referee. Joel Tomkins scooped up the loose ball to put England back ahead. The decision is greeted by Samoan boos before Gareth Widdop, you won't be surprised to hear, makes no mistake with the kick.

  10. TRY REVIEW

    The video referee is earning his corn now. We go back upstairs after England second rower Joel Tomkins touches down. Was there a knock on from Michael Shenton in the build up?

  11. Brian Noble
    Former Great Britain coach on BBC Two

    "England are getting caned around the ruck at the moment, the speed of the Samoans is far too fast at the moment."

  12. Ian Millward
    Former Super League and Australian NRL coach on BBC Two

    "What happens when you lose the ruck is that you need to tighten up the defence. It is twice now that they have gone the wrong way. They need to squeeze up because it was the last play. Two fundamental defensive errors has cost England. The crowd are humming behind Samoa now."

  13. Brian Noble
    Former Great Britain coach on BBC Two

    "Pita Godinat has had a wow of a game. He has changed their structure and the way they are playing since coming on. England need to compose themselves and tough it out now. Samoa have a huge lift now and it is up to England to disrupt the process."

  14. Dave Woods
    BBC Sport commentator

    "Pita Godinet has embarrassed England twice now."

  15. CONVERTED TRY

    Pita Godinet does have control of the ball and Samoa are level. The Wakefield half-back clings on with barely his right thumb to ground the ball.

    Ben Roberts keeps his cool to convert from close to the touchline and edge them ahead, sparking huge celebrations in the stands from huge swathes of Samoan fans.

  16. TRY REVIEW

    Samoa are level! Or are they? Pita Godinet scrambles over again but has he got control of the ball? Over to the video referee...

  17. The Samoans almost pull level! Second rower Frank Pritchard charges through the England defence, but has no support to finish off the move. A high bomb causes panic in the England defence - drop out.

    Sam Tomkins lets the high kick bounce - big mistake. It is near the dead-ball line but bounces just in front of it and heads back into play. There is a huge scramble to reach the ball. At first the ref decides it was Samoan hands that put the ball out of play but then reverses his decision - correctly. It was Ryan Hall who got to the ball first.

  18. Marc Bazeley: Pita Godinet has mugged England off big time. He probably could have strolled through the gap twirling a cane #bbcrl #4Nations

  19. Well, well, well. That one would have left England fans spluttering over their cornflakes. These Samoans are a plucky bunch - can they mount an remarkable comeback?

  20. Ian Millward
    Former Super League and Australian NRL coach on BBC Two

    "Defend the immediate, where is the ball? It is in front of you. The markers were looking wide but great instincts from Pita Godinet to score. That puts the cats amongst the pigeons. Just the way it opened up for him, you control your defensive pattern from marker."
