Sam Burgess has a dig on the left. Foiled. Hand in the ruck. Penalty.

England six more by the line...

Penalty England.

Luke Page gives away a cheap one. England 30 metres out...

England make a thunderous break through the middle after Jermaine McGillvary pops up to the supporting Kallum Watkins but Stargroth Amean makes a great cover tackle.

Garry Lo does well to cut out the ball at the expense of an England scrum...

This is where England have to be clinical - they've got numbers there and it's about catching fast, putting people in their place and keep composure.

England try to raid down the left side but Papua New Guinea are up in faces and force the loose offload from Ryan Hall.

Encouraging. There are gaps in this side.

PNG get to the end of the set and pump down field. Gareth Widdop has to draw it away from his own goalline. They're up for it.

What skill and anticipation to read that kick and defuse it by Gareth Widdop.

Papua New Guinea have a good old dig at softening up England left, right and through the middle.

Get to the last, kick from James Segeyaro and Gareth Widdop dives on the loose ball after it dinks off the postpad.

Then Josh Hodgson kicks a 40-20! Field position 10 out!

The tackle cannot be complete because the ball is still moving.

PNG are smart with that big kick that almost led to a try.

You go to your best threats and if you've got two 6 foot tall people on the fringes you kick to them.

John Bateman gets dragged towards the touchline and offloads away in the tackle but James Child pulls play back for a PNG penalty.

Bemusing call.

LET OFF FOR ENGLAND!

Watson Boas put up a beast of a kick into the England in-goal and big Kato Ottio leapt to gather ahead of Gareth Widdop but couldn't keep control.

Ball spilled over the line. Both teams have had a chance already.

Have a look at the size difference between the two teams. All across the board England are far bigger than the Papa New Guinean team.

PNG don't pose a lot of problems coming out of yardage.

Papua New Guinea get to the 40 last tackle and the kick is good. Gareth Widdop picks the ball up in his own 10.

England's pack should have some joy. Mind you, an early kick from Luke Gale is fired downfield, too deep. Tap on the 20 and a seven-tackle set for PNG.

That was a real lack of composure there from Kallum Watkins.

Smart work by the Kumuls to wedge across and shut down an England attack on the right side.

PNG have the ball now. They survived a really dangerous moment there when Kallum Watkins tried a pass that was far too ambitious.

Paul Sandford: Why have we got an English referee again??

It is a question PNG fans may well be asking.

David Mead, in the vernacular of Denis Betts, got 'belted' there.

He's up and walking but has to go off for a head injury assessment.

Big first set from England...

Luke Gale rampaged forward off a sensational spinning ball by Sean O'Loughlin but the half-back ran into David Mead when he should have passed!

Try was in there.

Mead is down.

James Child is our referee, a familiar face from Super League.

We're about to go.

England to kick-off, PNG will get it. Here we go!
