  1. Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    Kyle Amor
    Former Ireland prop on BBC Two

    That's awful really, an awful start to the half for Scotland.

    He's disappointed and he should be as well.

  2. Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    Kyle Schneider concedes a penalty for a high tackle on Sunia Turuva. Scotland's defensive set had looked okay until then.

    Or was it Luke Bain? It looks like it might have been the Parramatta Eels loose forward as he's gone in the sin bin.

  3. Kick-off

    Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    A long looping Lachlan Walmsley kick gets us going again as Fiji receive the ball.

    James Graham
    Former England forward on BBC Two

    There have been moments where I have thought the floodgates might open.

  7. HT: Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    Jon Wilkin
    Former England international on BBC Two

    The appetite and the hunger to stick in is what's been impressive.

    There have been times when Scotland could have stepped away.

  8. HT: Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    A try the Scotland analysts will not want to see ever again.

  9. HT: Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    James Graham
    Former England forward on BBC Two

    Sometimes rugby league isn't fair. Fiji should have more points but they don't.

    Scotland have turned up today and they've hung in there.

  10. HT: Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    Now this is a belter. Different code I know but shades of Waisale Serevi here as Viliame Kikau scores for Fiji.

    Raiwalui's skilful play leads to Fiji's second try

  11. HT: Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    See 17:28 post. Glad James Graham has mentioned that as well in his half-time analysis.

  12. Watch: Walmsley's interception try for Scotland

    HT: Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    One that Lachlan Walmsley will have on repeat later.

  13. 'It's good to come out and give these Fiji boys a game'

    HT: Fiji 18 -8 Scotland

    Fiji captain Kevin Naiqama, speaking to BBC Sport: "I'm really disappointed, hats off to Scotland they played really good football.

    "Discipline will be the main talking point at the break."

    Scotland try scorer Lachlan Walmsley, speaking to BBC Sport: "Obviously it's been a tough last two weeks. It's good to come out and give these Fiji boys a game.

    "We just need to stop their forwards again, they're trying to get us through the middle so we need to stop the momentum."

  14. A good omen for Scotland?

    HT: Fiji 18 -8 Scotland

    Until this evening Scotland had been kept scoreless in the first halves of six of their last seven games at the men’s Rugby League World Cup.

    However, they are undefeated in their last four games at the tournament when they’ve scored any first half points on the day (Won two, drawn two).

  15. HT: Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    Andrew Henderson
    Former Scotland international on BBC Two

    Scotland have done incredibly well to stay in this contest. Fiji dominated the ball and possession.

    But Scotland have taken their chances. I am really pleased they've made it competitive.

  16. HT: Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    Kyle Amor
    Former Ireland prop on BBC Two

    Fiji need to be better with the ball, they're trying to do the power game too much.

    Scotland, full credit to them, have hung in there and have hit back.

  17. Half-time

    Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    Will that late Scotland try change the complexion of the half-time dressing room chats?

    TRY - Fiji 18-8 Scotland

    Ben Hellewell

    And they don't against Scotland.

    That's a nice step from Calum Gahan who wins a penalty and James Bell then comes up with a superb grubber that Ben Hellewell gets to first to give the Scots their second try of the evening.

    Lachlan Walmsley has a chance to pull Scotland back to within eight point but shanks his attempted conversion.

    'Game on' - Hellewell gets Scotland's second try just before half-time

  19. Fiji 18-4 Scotland

    Brandon Wakeham coughs up the ball for Fiji. Scotland get the ball back on halfway. Not the type of mistake that Fiji could get away with against say New Zealand next.

  20. Fiji 18-4 Scotland

    Kyle Amor
    Former Ireland prop on BBC Two

    It's a nice kick from Wakeham, Walmsley can't deal with the catch under the pressure from Kikau and Raiwalui touches down under the posts.

    It's probably a fair reflection.
