Papua New Guinea go for broke as the hooter looms, with a threaded kick by Watson Boas into the in-goal...

Kato Ottio gives chase, Gareth Widdop gives chase, but the PNG centre shoves the England man.

That was enough to get it binned off. No score. Disappointment for the passionate PNG fans.

Was there a push on Gareth Widdop there?

Papua New Guinea think they've scored, no try by James Child on field...

Justin Olam had the line in his sights for PNG but England muscle up to shutdown the play.

Unbreached so far, but they're having to work in defence and are being made to play out from deep with the ball.

Meanwhile, Josh Hodgson drops the ball when trying to kick the ball and England fluff their lines. 10 errors.

It's quite a scary thing for England, this. We talked about completion rates last game and about how most coaches want a minimum 75% completion rates. England are 57% - that's just not good enough - and they're lazy errors.

Rhyse Martin snared as he looked to bust his way through England's middle. Rod Griffin picks up the baton... England getting stuck in though...

Gareth Widdop is in the firing line this morning. He's had to take a lot of kicks through, complete with fierce chase.

He's not had too much chance to stretch his legs yet.

England pulled up for a forward pass in midfield and as we edge toward the half-time hooter, PNG get a scrum.

PNG are hanging on. Certainly Alex Walmsley has got great ruck speed and it's just a little bit too hard for PNG at the moment.

England are getting into the positions but they're still a little clunky at times on that left edge.

Encouraging but also something to work on.

England penalty puts them into the dangerzone in the PNG half...

Well that's just relentless and it's a different breed of team that PNG have been playing prior to meeting England in this tournament. They are just getting no time at all in the middle of the park. No rest.

Is the barnstorming Alex Walmsley over? James Child has gone upstairs, try onfield decision...

And here is Jermaine McGillvary's second try of the match - watch out for the brilliant pass from Kallum Watkins.

Garry Lo down. PNG in the wars. Cleaned out by Luke Gale. Welcome to Castleford for 2018, mate.

Gareth Widdop has been excellent at the back, covering those testing little grubbers that the PNG halves just keep prodding through.

Clever little kick downfield turns PNG around, the ball spills loose and England thought they were in but couldn't gather.

The second prize is an England scrum 10 away from the line.

Kevin Brown has got to be moving a bit more. We don't know what that hit earlier took out of him.

PNG offload puts them into a gap, hard-running from the Kumuls takes them into the England 20...

England so close! Sam Burgess held up. Then Alex Walmsley...

Ball shifted right... Kevin Brown can't bring the ball in. Scrappy stuff.

PNG are a little bit loose at the moment, they are struggling when they have to come up with plays in the really tough moments.
