    Does anybody want to speak to Greece, asks an official in the press room.

    Yes, yes we do!

    We love the story of Greece but let's be real here, it's a bunch of part-timers with a couple of NRL players. We expected to see a healthy scoreline for England today and that's what we got, which is pleasing.

    They have also now scored over 1,000 points in Rugby League World Cup matches, becoming only the third side to do so after Australia and New Zealand.

  5. 'I need to pick the best team to win'

    FT: England 94-4 Greece

    England head coach Shaun Wane, speaking to BBC One: "Job done. It was an awkward fixture. Fair play to Greece, they turned up until the end.

    "We did some great stuff today but it will be a different challenge next week.

    "Our debutants did a good job. All the good things you saw today came from our staff. It was very much a backroom-staff win.

    "Both Ackers and Sneyd did well to suggest they should start. Next week should be really easy for me. I just need to pick the best team to win.

    "The players are a little bit beat up today but we will be ready for next week. It should make for a great game."

    As always you can have your say on any of today's action by tweeting us using #bbcrl.

    Does Marc Sneyd start for you? Should it be Ryan Hall and Dom Young on the wings for England in the quarters?

  7. FT: England 94-4 Greece

    Andy Ackers scored England's 14th try of 17.

    Spare some thoughts for our colleagues who make the highlights packages, it could end up being 80 minutes long!

  8. FT: England 94-4 Greece

    England half-back and player of the match Marc Sneyd, speaking to BBC One: "To put on a scoreline like that in a World Cup. We won't complain, we're very happy.

    "I'm just enjoying every minute. I'd like to think I've put my hands up for selection, but that's out of my hands now.

    "I'm just enjoying very minute and I just hope I've done enough to get in."

  9. FT: England 94-4 Greece

    Plenty of smiles in the stands as the players walk off.

    Those who turned up were treated to some fixture.

    I'll have reaction from both camps as soon as possible...

  10. Full time

    Ryan Hall celebratesSWPIX.COM

    Sensational stuff from England.

    And fair play to Greece who bow out of their first ever World Cup.

  11. England 94-4 Greece

    Greece are happy to keep the ball and run down the clock. 30 seconds remain.

  12. NO TRY

    England 94-4 Greece

    No try. An England player was offside as Marc Sneyd kicks.

    Greece have a penalty with 90 seconds to go.

  13. TRY REVIEW

    England 94-4 Greece

    And England go over, but it's no try on the field. We go upstairs though...

  14. England 94-4 Greece

    Two minutes to go. England need one more try and goal to hit 100 for the first time in a World Cup.

  15. try

    TRY - England 94-4 Greece

    Mike McMeeken, goal Marc Sneyd

    Not Dom Young this time as the winger does really well to stay in play and set up Mike McMeeken for his first score.

    McMeeken is England's 11th different scorer today I reckon.

  16. England 88-4 Greece

    Chance for a record fifth for Dom Young?

  17. try

    TRY - England 88-4 Greece

    Andy Ackers, goal Marc Sneyd

    Try number 16!

    It's a classic England counter involving Tom Burgess, Marc Sneyd, Ryan Hall and Andy Ackers with the latter eventually crossing beneath the posts.

    A century is just about still on.

  18. England 82-4 Greece

    Tom Burgess steams down the pitch...

  19. try

    TRY - England 82-4 Greece

    Kai Pearce-Paul

    On his debut!

    England have an overload on the right side as George Williams sets up Kai Pearce-Paul for his first ever England try.

    Marc Sneyd's kick at goal bounces off the posts.

  20. England 78-4 Greece

    Marc Sneyd tries to set up Ryan Hall with a grubber but it's just about dealt with by the Greeks.

    England aren't done yet.
