England put pressure on from the restart, closing down well. They then win a penalty on their set. Hands at play-the-ball.

England look to make the most of their good field position, working the ball out to the left, with Gareth Widdop and Sam Tomkins involved before Dan Sarginson puts in Ryan Hall, who touches in at the corner for his 23rd England try.

Widdop stands focused on the touchline as the Kiwi fans behind him give him the bird. He strikes it perfectly, but the ball cannons back off the left upright. Unlucky.

Former Super League and Australian NRL coach on BBC Two

"Out of the four kickers, Shaun Johnson can kick the highest. In the enclosed stadium, you get more hang time so it will be a tough night for the full-backs and wingers.

"Jason Nightingale is a try scorer, he finishes them off. He can jump and is acrobatic. He out jumps Ryan Hall because the England man is stationary."

It's T-R-Y time. Jason Nightingale leaps into the Dunedin air, beating opposite winger Ryan Hall, as Johnson's kick causes all sorts of havoc. That came after huge loose forward Jason Taumalolo busts a hole in the England line. Cracking start for the Kiwis.

First New Zealand set - first try? Kiwi winger Jason Nightingale thinks so. He gathers Shaun Johnson's high bomb and touches down. Over to the video referee...

Former Great Britain coach on BBC Two

"England will have to build pressure with the big lads up front. They are in pole position and it is all on New Zealand today."

Right all the pre-match antics are over. New Zealand kick off, England respond with a strong complete opening set of six.

If there's a more fearsome sight than the Haka in world sport then I've yet to see it. Frightening. I'd have legged back to the dressing room if I was an English player. Isaac Luke leads the Haka, but is met with an icy stare from the Burgess twins.

"Hooker Daryl Clark goes into this tournament as the Man of Steel in Super League and that will make him want to go out there and prove it.

Robbie Hunter-Paul replies: "Isaac Luke will take all the talk about Daryl Clark personally, believe me. There will be fireworks."

New Zealand coach Stephen Kearney: "I'm not worried about points differential. My focus is purely on the team putting out the right performance out there."

The players emerge to a wall of noise in Dunedin. Anthem time - and I reckon if tries were given for singing then England would be 4-0 up. Although the home fans, including one gurning fella, do their nation proud. Haka time....

Steve McNamara on his team selection: "We've made one change, I've been pleased with how they played against Australia. It is tough on Josh Hodgson but wanted to tweak our selection based on the opposition.

On the possible permutations: "We are fully aware of all the permutations - we have to be. But we're not chasing that 10 points. We're chasing a good performance and the by product of that is winning the game and winning by 10 points."

Jon Wilkin
Former England international on BBC Two

"Steve McNamara's focus is playing well - the points are a consequence of that. They will not have a strategy to play more rugby. They will be looking to execute plays more consistently over the 80 minutes. The start to any Test match is the physical battle and England's attacking players will not get into the game until after that."

And here's what England coach Steve McNamara had to say....

"Becoming the first English side to reach an final overseas for a long time would be great, but winning the Test match is the most important thing. We have got a tough task ahead, but we played well against Australia last week but just fell short."

Stone houses. Rolling hills. Grey skies. Sheep. That's Yorkshire in a nutshell, isn't it?

And perhaps it could also apply to Dunedin. Yes, that Dunedin on the south island of New Zealand. That's what England prop George Burgess reckons anyway.

"It's been good," says the 22-year-old Yorkshireman. "This is a different environment from the Gold Coast. But Dunedin looks a bit like the north of England, where I'm from, so I'm enjoying it."

England last beat New Zealand in the 2011 Four Nations, a 28-6 win in Hull. The nearest they have come to victory over the Kiwis in New Zealand is a 17-17 draw in Auckland in 1975.
