    Dom Young is down after falling reaching for a Marc Sneyd kick. I think he'll be okay to continue though.

    Marc Sneyd, goal Sneyd

    From one end to another!

    George Williams turns defence into attack before John Bateman adds some more crucial yards. He eventually finds Marc Sneyd who slides over to finish off a fine counter-attack.

    The England fans in Sheffield are loving this.

    Chance for Greece as Jordan Meads is caught as he kicks the ball down field.

    Can they make something happen deep in England territory?

    England now have over 200 points for the tournament after only two and a half games.

    On the pitch Andy Ackers breaks through to gain some yards before Marc Sneyd sets up Ryan Hall.

    The winger goes over but it's ruled out early for offside.

    It's given. Tommy Makinson was the man who grounded the ball to become England's sixth different try scorer.

    Marc Sneyd's kick for extras brings up England's 50.

  13. TRY REVIEWpublished at 42 mins

    England 44-4 Greece

    Instant impact from England. But will it count?

    A set restart for the hosts and Marc Sneyd tricks the Greece defenders with an early kick which bobbles over the line and is collected by a white shirt and grounded.

    Nigel Radley, dad of England lock Victor, speaking on BBC One: "They've done okay. It's a bit of a nothing game but I heard Shaun Wane say that if they let a try in they are not going on the beers.

    "It's fantastic. I never pushed him to make that decision (to choose to play for England) but I think a lot of the Barnsley lads that supported him when he came with the Roosters helped him change his mind. I think he felt comfortable. There are 50 or 60 of us here all in the stands.

    "I think England will run away with it hopefully and nobody gets injured."

    Ryan Hall has had a good game. And what we see for his try is why Marc Sneyd has been brought into the side. It'll be hurting Ryan that Dom Young is scoring loads of tries on the other side because they are competitive.

    Not to be outdone by Dom Young, Ryan Hall also bulldozed his way on to the scoresheet with a great, bruising try.
