    It's that man Dom Young again, you just can't stop him.

    The fans are really taking to him too, the Newcastle Knights winger got the biggest cheer when the teams were read about before kick-off.

    That is John Bateman at his best. It is a basketball pass. He makes the unorthodox look very, very easy.

    Dom Young will have his eye on a few more tries today.

    Dom Young

    It had to be him.

    England benefit from a penalty and the ball eventually falls to Jack Welsby who finds John Bateman.

    Bateman looks to be cornered but he pulls off an inventive basketball-style pass to winger Dom Young who crosses in the corner.

    That's a try in every game for Young at this World Cup so far.

    England finally get the ball into Greece territory. It's been untidy after that early try.

    This is good from Greece. They have decided to have a real crack at this.

    England's defence is hanging on!

    Greece keep the ball in hand off the final play but winger Johnny Mitsias is gratefully brought down by Ryan Hall just short of the line.

    Greece are going down fighting.

    England had to work really hard to keep Greece out there.

    But hang on, a needless penalty gives Greece a set restart and Nicholas Mougios gets a few yards down the right.

    Greece keep the ball well before a grubber is cleaned up by the hosts.

    Much more like it.

    We go again. There is a gap in quality which is to be expected.

    Every England player is having to be tackled by at least three in Greek shirts which is creating so many holes.

    More gaps in the Greek backline than in the stands.

    Greece were a man down and Marc Sneyd just finds a hole for Matty Lees.

    Matty Lees, goal Marc Sneyd

    Well that didn't take long.

    Marc Sneyd finds a hole before setting up Matty Lees for his first England try in his second cap.

    This could get ugly for Greece in terms of a scoreline very quickly. England haven't put a foot wrong so far.

    Sneyd's kick for the extras is good.

    Well England have made a good start with Ryan Hall getting good yardage down the left.

    Skipper George Williams then tries a grubber which is just about cleaned up. But Matty Lees then tackles his opposite number beyond the try line to force a drop-out.

    England are fired up.

    Vast banks of empty seats inside the stadium at kick-off.

    Not the best look at a home World Cup, let's hope the competition catches the attention of the public during the knockout stages.

    It is not about winning or losing for Greece today. It is about taking part and development. There is more to this story than winning and losing and there are many incredible stories in this Greece team.

    For me Dom Young is a much better finisher than Ryan Hall. The yardage carries coming out of trouble are Ryan Hall's biggest strength but the back five against Samoa...it is not a problem for England and I think Dom Young is well equipped defensively.

    When you are playing the big games where there are few opportunities, that's Dom Young.

    I think Dom Young has been outstanding and could be a superstar for the next 10 years. But I think against the top four sides there are facets of Ryan Hall's game that are better suited.

    His strength of carry coming out is outstanding and he is incredibly motivated. This will be Ryan Hall's last World Cup.
