    England 16-17 New Zealand

    New Zealand take their time and make good ground. On the last tackle, Shaun Johnson kicks out of play near the England try line. So smart from the Kiwis.

    Just under two minutes remaining and England need to go the length of the field.

    England 16-17 New Zealand

    A sniff of an England break is snuffed out and they're 40 metres away from the try line on the last tackle.

    Gareth Widdop tries a drop-goal from distance to level the scores but it goes wide.

    There's perhaps only one more chance for England to avoid defeat here.

    They're trying too hard there, they just need to do the simple thing.

    Sam Burgess gets an offload away and England's Mike Cooper carries to within five metres of the New Zealand line, but Burgess attempts an ambitious pass on the last tackle which goes astray and the Kiwis can retrieve possession.

    Very, very close between England and New Zealand with only a few minutes to go.

    I feel like we've been here before...

    That was an opportunity to take the game away from New Zealand and he'll be very, very disappointed with that.

    You don't get many of those in the international game and you've got to take the opportunity to put the points on the board.

    England 16-17 New Zealand

    England are on the offensive, building pressure and looking slight favourites here, but they've bombed an excellent chance to re-take the lead.

    Centre Dan Sarginson spills the ball close to the try line and New Zealand escape. That may be a pivotal moment.

    England 16-17 New Zealand

    England build some momentum but their latest set of six stutters to a halt like an old car on a cold morning.

    New Zealand attempt to bring it clear but Shaun Johnson's kick goes out off Kallum Watkins - it wasn't played at, so England have control of the scrum on halfway.

    England 16-17 New Zealand

    New Zealand's Jason Nightingale is rock solid under a high bomb from Luke Gale.

    It's a good job, as he was absolutely creamed by three England chasers as soon as his feet touched the floor.

    Huge.

    It's not a bad tactic from Shaun Johnson with 15 minutes left on the clock. I think he was eyeing that up on the previous set.

    Shaun Johnson

    Ooh, cheeky from Shaun Johnson. But very intelligent, actually.

    New Zealand's creative maestro lands a drop-goal from about eight metres out and gives the Kiwis what could be a crucial one-point lead.

    Stephen Holmes: The long arm of Ryan Hall might just have saved England's Four Nations.

    Andrew Humphrey: That's one big see you later from Ryan Hall Chances here now.

    Mark Adamoulas: Tekkers from Gaz Widdop. The 'volleyball set' and that conversion. Gold.

    England 16-16 New Zealand

    Play is halted as New Zealand's Jordan Rapana stays down after going into a tackle with England prop Chris Hill.

    He looks a little groggy, but the prolific winger is staying on for now.

    I don't think the Kiwis could have done much more defensively, but it's a great piece of skill and great awareness from Gareth Widdop to find Ryan Hall.

    It was lovely slick hands from England, Ryan Hall reached out his big left arm and his execution was immaculate.

    Ryan Hall, Gareth Widdop goal

    And England deliver!

    Ryan Hall is lethal from 10 metres out and the Leeds winger has his 29th try in 29 appearances for England.

    Gareth Widdop, who set up the score with a wonderful pat over his head, sends over the kick at goal from the touchline - it's level!

    And look who's back on the field... Sam Burgess. He couldn't, could he?

    England 10-16 New Zealand

    An hour gone, 20 minutes left to play, and it's on these moments when Wayne Bennett's England will be judged.

    So often in recent years, they've got close to Australia and New Zealand and just not been able to finish the job off.

    It's a devastating passage of play from the New Zealand side. Jordan Rapana has great speed and acceleration.

    England will be disappointed to concede as I just felt they were getting themselves back into the game.

    England just switch off at a crucial time again. It's a very, very simple try for New Zealand. It was a brilliant finish but Jonny Lomax will be disappointed he didn't make that one-on-one tackle.

    Try - England 10-16 New Zealandpublished at 56 mins

    Jordan Rapana

    An easy, easy score for New Zealand.

    Winger Jordan Rapana has his second try of the match, outpacing Jonny Lomax to touch down.

    Jordan Kahu's kick hits the post, though. The Kiwis are only six points ahead and England only need one converted try to level the match.
