That's a try. He doesn't lose control of the ball. There's no separation of the hands. It's exaggerated by the way the ball hits the ground.

Swift hands from England as they fling the ball left and Stefan Ratchford thinks he's in at the corner.

That's the start England were after, and they are nearly in again.

A high ball is completely missed by Ilias Bergal and Luke Gale picks up, only to be stopped by the referee!

James Graham is calling for an "eight-point try". I think he is joking but you can never tell.

A great start for England with and without the ball.

It was great to see Gale running. In the last couple of weeks, he's been very structured and very mechanical.

You want to see a half-back pose a threat to the line.

Super strength and a teriffic carry there from Mike McMeeken.

France have started very physical. That's been their trademark in this tournament, then they wilt in the second half.

The bench for England is very big and powerful, and it's got the skill of Alex Walmsley on top of that.

Big first drive of the game from James Graham, but Ben Currie gets driven back about 15 metres on the second tackle.

The French have come out up for this one.

Mike McMeeken then runs full pelt into Jason Baitieri and it looks like the France forward took the brunt of McMeeken's power on his head, he's coming off.

Here we go.

France get this one under way.

What sort of performance will we see from England?

We are expecting a strong, disciplined performance from England today.

France are average. They don't have any stand-out players.

But in the first 20 minutes, they'll give it everything.

France head coach Aurelien Cologni: "We know it will be tough but we've worked hard. We played well for 40 minutes against Australia. We would like to improve our level over 80 minutes.

"We surprised England last year, but today is different."

Right then, the scheduled 10:00 GMT kick-off has already ticked by, but the teams are now out for the anthems...

Wayne Bennett has a very simple philosophy to his game: fun, simple and look after your players.

It is about not making errors. We will play with a freedom today and we will deliver.

Here's England head coach Wayne Bennett: "We have to play better than last week.

"I want to give everyone an opportunity to play before the quarter-finals, after today, everyone will have had a game and that is important mentally.

"I said to my players we have to be mistake-free as much as we can. That is our Achilles heel, making mistakes and giving away poor penalties."
