    England 6-28 Australia

    Australia playing like they are the ones 28-6 behind.

    No mercy from Mal Meninga's boys.

    They want more and more points.

    Valentine Holmes wants to get in on the act and seal the win with a kiss, but Jermaine McGillvary skirts across to snatch the ball away from the opponent's grasp.

    The tractor, Greg Inglis, has momentarily ground to a halt following Elliott Whitehead's tackle. He will need some repairs doing on the touchline.

    Can England restore some pride?

    They think they can through Ryan Hall, but the Leeds man is held up by three Australia defenders.

    Not happening for the hosts.

    How many will Australia win by?

    Still 20 minutes to play.

    Feels to me like England have regressed since the appointment of Wayne Bennett. He was tasked to change the fortunes of the nation.

    Marc Sepetwoski: The reason England are not going to be in the final of this tournament has just been epitomised. Defence not strong enough  

    Robin Dickson: Textbook England forcing the pass. I'm as patriotic as they come but we make some stupid / naive decision

    Next attack, another try for Australia.

    The green and gold utilise the short-side and Cooper Cronk gets past Mark Percival, draws Jonny Lomax in before popping the ball off to Josh Dugan.

    The St George Illawarra man has the freedom of Stratford to touch down.

    Another two added by Johnathan Thurston.

    Australia have had 61% possession in the second half. Can they get another?

    You can put that try down to the previous play from Greg Inglis. England couldn't get reset quick enough. Clever again. Simple, effective play on the back of that burst from Greg Inglis.

    Pack up and go home, this one is done.

    It was made by Greg Inglis's driving run and Matt Scott evades the attention of Josh Hodgson and Chris Hill to sneak in.

    Johnathan Thurston with an easy kick for two more points.

    London Stadium in silence.

    Another barging run from Greg Inglis and it takes three England men to drop him. Australia closing in on another...

    England 6-16 Australia

    Winger Ryan Hall hides his face on the deck after losing control of the ball in the middle of the pitch.

    England 6-16 Australia

    Leeds Rhinos man Kallum Watkins showing his class with some silky running, it's put the home side on the front foot.

    Can they take advantage?

    James Graham's drive is stopped two metres out and England work it on to the left.

    But with Australia on the back foot, the pressure is relieved through Kevin Brown's terrible kick.

    He really has to do better from that position.

    Gareth Widdop wins the ball back for England, who counter-attack to the other end.

    This time, his outside-of-the-foot kick turns Cooper Cronk around and England get a goalline dropout.

    That's better.

    It has gone a bit flat here - unless you're one of the Australians in the crowd.

    "There just too good" muttered someone sat close to me. And on the evidence of what we are seeing at the moment it is difficult to disagree.

    England need something here.

    England 6-16 Australia

    Further ill-discipline from England and it sets Australia on another attack.

    Hooker Cameron Smith teases the defence by juggling the ball this way and that, but the Wall of White holds firm this time.

    Another score for the Aussies and this one is all over.

    Australia's Sam Thaiday is helped to the touchline and the Brisbane Bronco is asking the physio what day it is.

    8, 9, 10.

    Ding, ding, ding.

    Australia's Sam Thaiday is down for the count after being rattled in a James Graham tackle.

    England's 'Ben Stokes on burgers' was unflinched.
