The crowd are still buzzing. They loved that.

Unbelievable.
Sometimes in games you just know. It slows down on that pass and you knew Dom Young was going to intercept it and you knew Dom Young was going to score.
It's exceptional. Dom Young is smooth, elegant and graceful.
He's a try scorer, he's a star. He's lit up this World Cup.

Now, after the nerves around half-time, can England get to 50?

Bolton comes alive!
There was only going to be one outcome when Dom Young snatched that ball deep in his own half.
What a try, what a player.

Sit back and watch an athlete in full flight. Dom Young, absolutely brilliant.
Dom Young, goal Marc Sneyd
Dom Young and Josh Addo-Carr are having their own competition for try of the tournament.
Young intercepts a pass on his own line and races clear of the French defenders, running in from 95 yards.
What a phenomenal talent England have here.
England 36-12 France

Australia changed things and their standards went up. England have had a little drop in standards but nothing too alarming.
England 36-12 France
Ryan Hall sniffs a hat-trick of tries, he's brought down a yard from the line and Hall's offload goes into French hands.
Before that, Dom Young went on a mazy run from deep all the way across the field and got the Bolton crowd to their feet.
Young was born in 2001, by the way. I feel ancient.
England 36-12 France
England look to have this one wrapped up now with 20 minutes to go, barring a huge collapse, and are all but through to the last eight.
It's Greece next up at Bramall Lane, Sheffield next Saturday, in what is England's final group match.

Positive news regarding Kallum Watkins - BBC reporter Tanya Arnold on the touchline says he is conscious and talking, but won't be back on the field today.

Dom Young with a great finish, he's had an exceptional start to this World Cup and his England career. He's so compelling on the right side.
It was short passes executed well from Radley and Welsby.
Dom Young, goal Marc Sneyd
England move the ball through the hands to the right and eventually Jack Welsby has the luxury of deciding exactly which team-mate he would like to score a try today.
He chooses Dom Young, who makes it five tries in three appearances for England.
Marc Sneyd keeps up his 100% record from the tee.
England 30-12 France
Another stoppage as French prop Jordan Dezaria goes down awkwardly in the tackle.
Mikolaj Oledzki, who took him at the legs while two other England tacklers held him up, is put on report by referee Gerard Sutton.

This doesn't look too good for Kallum Watkins, who limps off aided by two physios.
The whole of the stadium is up to applaud the Salford man off the field.
England 30-12 France
Kallum Watkins is being helped off the field by England's medical team but he does not look in a good way.
I'm sure that will be the last we see of him today.
Sam Tomkins is back on and Jack Welsby moves to the centres.

It's a head-on-head clash. It's accidental.
England 30-12 France
Ooh, that's a nasty moment for Kallum Watkins, who clashes heads with Alrix Da Costa as he carries the ball.
He's receiving treatment on the field. Some anxious moments for England and Shaun Wane.
I'm sure he'll have to go through a concussion assessment which, if he fails, would rule the Salford centre out of next Saturday's game with Greece.

That should be that, you would think.
Shaun Wane will be delighted at how England have started this second half, putting to bed any jitters they may have been feeling.
Victor Radley, goal Marc Sneyd
Victor the Inflictor has his first England try.
France believe Radley was offside from a short Andy Ackers grubber kick but the video referee doesn't agree and the Australia-born forward touches down.
