England have got size, power and skill, but they have to cut out the errors to go all the way through this tournament?

James Roby is on. England back to zero and 20 away!

England I think will be a bit disappointed in themselves so far. I think they know they're clearly a better team than PNG but I think coach Wayne Bennett will be disappointed with how much ball has been spilled.

Couple of early drives puts England in a decent spot.

The kick pins PNG in their 20. Not a bad start. And England have the ball back.

Papua New Guinea to get us underway then in the second-half.

England to field it. 40 away from a semi-final berth.

England's Lionesses had a tougher time of it in their game against the Australia Jillaroos. They lost 38-0 in Sydney. They're the holders to be fair... report to come on BBC Sport.

Anyway, teams back out. Not long to go. Big 40 ahead.

Luke-Stell!: Enough to beat Tonga playing like this? No chance, they’re the team of the tournament so far, had the toughest games and they’ll knock us out if we play anything like this! #bbcrl, external #ENGvPNG

I think Sean O'Loughlin is central to everything England do. He can carry the ball like a pro and every time he touches it for England, opportunities are created.

Mike Brown: Not good enough.... @England_RL, external most unforced errors start with the poor pass of Hodgson. Roby has to start in the next 2 games #BBCRL, external

This side is capable of doing more. Ironing those errors out, the performance will improve dramatically. The English forwards are battering PNG.

Against Australia you cannot make these types of mistakes.

How we're playing at the minute, we'll have enough to beat Tonga but not to beat Australia.

Our defence for this whole competition has been outstanding and how far we go will be based on that, but we cannot afford to keep making errors.

We're inviting PNG to attack us. We just need to be better.

We can come out and stay in third gear and get the job done but we want more than that.

In these types of games when it's hot, the ball gets greasy. but I'm not making excuses, we have to be better.

And here is England's third try of a rather patchy opening 40 minutes.

Just got up? No panic at all, here are the two tries from Jermaine McGillvary.

England are not making errors by overplaying. They are errors which are just unforced, little ones that are just a bit scratchy - and they are dangerous because they stop you playing when you should. When England did get things right, they scored points.

Both sides will be bemoaning a gargantuan error count at half-time.

England have a completion rate of just 52%, with PNG far higher at 81%.

12 errors from England, six by PNG.

England stand-off Kevin Brown said: "We gave too much ball away and turned it over too many times. We made it difficult, Wayne will not be happy about those errors."

And it was a similar theme from Papua New Guinea.

Forward Paul Aiton said: "Playing against a world class side like England, you can't give away so many errors. Ball security and lazy penalties, we can't afford to do it."

For starters, completion rate is 52%. That's a coach-killer. Especially in the structured, meticulous world of the NRL which Wayne Bennett operates.

The 12 errors at half-way have been pretty sloppy. Forward passes, knock-ons... fix up the execution of the basics and we'll go alright.

Three tries, none in reply. On the surface of it a satisfactory opening half for the England team but there are definitely areas to fix up.

Defensively, Wayne Bennett's side were all good but too many errors.

Much to build on.

I can't stress it enough but 10 errors in the first half and a completion rate of 55%. If you had hair you'd be pulling it out by now.

That's the right call - you can go shoulder to shoulder but you cannot push somebody.
