Two attacks, two tries from France.
England are crumbling to pieces at the back and Shaun Wane will NOT be happy at his side's showing in recent minutes.
"Allez Les Bleus" rings out around the stadium.
Eloi Pelissier, goal Arthur Mourgue
Now then, France have some momentum and another try as Eloi Pelissier dives over at from dummy-half.
Gerard Sutton sends it up to video referee Robert Hicks and the try is awarded.
England 18-6 France
France fancy another try here but Leeds-bound Justin Sangare is tackled near the posts by three England defenders.

That's pure individual talent and creativeness. He got a bit of luck but that is a bit of magic.
France needed that.

Bolton is stunned into silence.
Not since those silky skills from Jay-Jay Okocha have I seen so many jaws drop to the floor here.
Ah, what a player Okocha was. So good they named him twice.

You must give France credit. That's the first time they've had a look at England and they've taken full advantage of it.
Arthur Mourgue, goal Mourgue
France score with their first foray deep into England territory.
Arthur Mourgue tries a grubber kick and Marc Sneyd's deflection puts it perfectly into his path for him to touch down.
He adds the extra two for good measure, too.

The try was fancy in construction. Some beautiful play from the forwards. We have to look at Victor Radley and how he organises those around him.
Fantastic from Radley.

One way traffic, says Phil.
Hope those 200 or so cars that were stuck outside the ground at kick-off have managed to get in.
If they haven't, they're missing a blistering first half from England.
Luke Thompson, goal Marc Sneyd
Oh, that's magnificent from Victor Radley.
The loose forward with a lovely step off the right foot to break the line and Luke Thompson is in support to finish it off.

England 12-0 France
Herbie Farnworth hunts a grubber kick and it's knocked dead by France.
France go short with the dropout and they win it back!
England 12-0 France
20 minutes in and I don't recall France carrying the ball anywhere near the England try line.
It's been one-way traffic in Bolton.
England 12-0 France

Spotted this on social media...
Ryan Hall now has 12 World Cup tries, taking him into the top five for all-time try scorers, level with Australia's Valentine Holmes.
Former Kangaroos full-back Billy Slater leads the way with 16.
Can Hall surpass that during this tournament?

But it comes to nothing as Tom Burgess drops the ball and France come away with it.
England 12-0 France
Really exciting to see England throwing the ball around in their own half.
Helps when you've made such a positive start, I suppose.
Herbie Farnworth then drags France out of play at the end of the set - another chance for the host nation.

It's really smart play from George Williams. He draws a cut-out pass and gives England the opportunity by using Sam Tomkins as a foil. Beautiful ball and Ryan Hall is in too much space.

Can see England chancing their arm and chucking the ball around, it's great to see and Ryan Hall is ripping Arthur Romano to shreds in the left hand corner.
Ryan Hall, goal Marc Sneyd
Left out against Samoa last weekend, Ryan Hall has two tries inside 11 minutes against France.
George Williams and Herbie Farnworth are the creators for Hall to dive over in the corner.
Marc Sneyd kicks the goal from the touchline - it's going well for England so far, isn't it?
