"Great finish from Ryan Hall. How many players have profited from the high kick today? Quick hands and Hall did not make a hash of that one. It has become more of a game of basketball, going from end to end."

"I just love the way that Dan Sarginson has stepped up into this tournament - last week everyone was saying 'Dan who?'.

"It is absolutely wide open in the ruck area now."

England are back in it! Ryan Hall finishes tries easier than a hungry dad finishes his cornflakes (apart from about 14 minutes ago obviously...). The Kiwis spill Matty Smith's high kick, Sam Tomkins gathers before a quick pass left finds Dan Sarginson to stick in Hall. This time, Gareth Widdop manages to avoid that cheeky woodwork - just - and England are within two points.

England scrum-half Matty Smith drops his shoulder to find a gap but is tugged back by his shorts. Kiwi winger Manu Vatuvei juggles a poor England kick but manages to keep hold of it and retain possession. This game is more open than a 24-hour petrol station now.

"England are not going to die wondering here but I have to say that they have got to be taking some of their opportunities. They had a four on one there."

"England just can't find that extra pass they need. New Zealand were short but England just lack that composure."

Cutting break from England as James Graham and Sean O'Loughlin combine to put in Daryl Clark. He can't find support though and when the ball is recycled Brett Ferres inexplicably knocks on. Ball back to the Kiwis...

Powerhouse prop James Graham sprints back on to the field as England gamely chase down the Kiwis. The visitors are momentarily stretched but manage to pin down Kieran Foran on the last. Remember, if the scoreline gets any worse then England are definitely out of the tournament with no chance of reaching the Four Nations final.

"It is all about execution. Manu Vatuvei, the towering juggernaut, you won't stop him when he is running. The two centres and wingers for England have been very hesitant at times and it has been the difference between scoring and not scoring."

It's a cruel, cruel game. England could have been level, now they are further behind. Kiwi winger Manu Vatuvei dives over in the left corner, but Shaun Johnson fails to add the extras. Uphill task for England now.

From one try line to the other in a blink of an eye. Another kick from Shaun Johnson causes bother. Sam Tomkins races across to gather but slips behind the posts. In-goal drop out for the visitors.

"The stats were pretty high for England having the ball in the opening 40 minutes so they would have liked to have been in front in the first half. New Zealand coach Stephen Kearney will have been the happier coach with the work they had to do.

"At this level England really have to turn their possession into points."

Nope, his foot isn't in touch. That's the good news. The bad news is that Hall loses his one-handed grip on the ball as tries to ground. Let off for the Kiwis.

Early chance for England! Ryan Hall touches down on the left - but was the England winger's left foot in touch? Let's have a look at the replays...

Referee Phil Bentham gives his whistle a good toot, which is followed by England scrum-half Matty Smith sticking his laces through the ball. And that means the second half is under way. If you're only just waking from your slumber (shame on you) - England must win remember.

Former England captain on BBC Two

"New Zealand have been targeting the side where Ryan Hall is defending. But England played well in the opening half."

Jon Wilkin
Former England international on BBC Two

"England are blessed that they have Sean O'Loughlin and James Graham in the middle, they are probably two of the best ball-playing forwards in world rugby. O'Loughlin had an opportunity, put it on the money and created the second try for England."
