  1. Half-time

    England 6-10 Samoa

    This wasn't in the script. Work to do for England.

  2. England 6-10 Samoa

    Kevin Brown
    Former England international half-back on BBC One

    England look very flimsy on the right edge. Ligi Sao pierces straight through again. Anthony Milford's kick is just too long and it lets England off.

  3. England 6-10 Samoa

    Something's not quite right for England. Fixes needed at the break as Samoa get over halfway again.

  4. Get Involved #bbcrl

    England 6-10 Samoa

    Ded: Ambivalence (noun) - watching ligi sao score that try for Samoa as an English Hull FC fan.

    Neil Morrow: Good try by Samoa. But England look soft on their right. Samoa have had less of the ball but they look more clinical with it. This won't be easy for England.

    Mark Burt: England looking very nervous and one dimensional. Samoa really much up this. Their game plan has been excellent

  5. England 6-10 Samoa

    Samoa come at England, they sense something.

    Five metres out they go with a grubber which Sam Tomkins only just shepherds out of play. Gulp.

  6. England 6-10 Samoa

    Herbie Farnworth gets a half-break but he's quickly dragged down.

    England are still just a play away you feel.

  7. England 6-10 Samoa

    Kevin Brown
    Former England international half-back on BBC One

    Samoa are well trained in this nip and tuck game.This is new waters for England, now.

    How do they respond? I'm not sure.

  8. England 6-10 Samoa

    Samoa are finding so much success straight through the middle.

    Their latest set only ends after a forward pass.

  9. England 6-10 Samoa

    Steve Sutcliffe
    BBC Sport at Emirates Stadium

    Samoa have pinpointed that left edge and so far Kallum Watkins and Dom Young have been in real difficulty over there.

  10. England 6-10 Samoa

    Kevin Brown
    Former England international half-back on BBC One

    It was just deception, he finds himself in the hooker position. It's Kallum Watkins who takes the dummy.

    He's just not got enough pace to get back there.

  11. England 6-10 Samoa

    Who saw this coming?

  12. try

    TRY - England 6-10 Samoa

    Ligi Sao, goal Stephen Crichton

    England are shocked again!

    Samoa retake the lead as Ligi Sao spots a gap on the left and stuns England with a run that takes out Kallum Watkins and Dom Young.

    Sao goes over with a dive in the corner before Stephen Crichton adds two more with his kick.

    Samoa retake the lead as Sao scores 'super try'

  13. England 6-4 Samoa

    Jack Welbsy's grubber has too much on it and Samoa are let off the hook.

  14. England 6-4 Samoa

    Big chance for England now as Tim Lafai brings down Dom Young underneath a high kick.

    Penalty to the hosts five metres out...

  15. Get Involved #bbcrl

    England 6-4 Samoa

    J Kitch: Superb skill from Williams to orchestrate the opportunity but silly mistakes from the Samoan's...Game On!!!

    Sasquatch: That pass weren't forward

    Andy Thomas: 25 mins in ... England have been trying to force this too much. That try is more like it

  16. England 6-4 Samoa

    Samoa's Fa-amanu Brown has failed his head injury assessment.

  17. England 6-4 Samoa

    Kevin Brown
    Former England international half-back on BBC One

    For a back rower, Elliott Whitehead scores lots of tries.

    Samoa are doing lots of things right but they're letting England off the hook by conceding so many penalties.

  18. England 6-4 Samoa

    Steve Sutcliffe
    BBC Sport at Emirates Stadium

    There were quite a few whoops of excitement and then delight as George Williams superbly danced between tackles and laid on that try for Elliott Whitehead.

    The half dozen or so Samoan fans directly in front of me were less enthusiastic.

  19. England 6-4 Samoa

    There are a few more smiles inside the BBC office now. But be warned, this semi-final is far from over.

  20. England 6-4 Samoa

    Brian Noble
    Ex-Great Britain coach on BBC One

    This is brilliant from George Williams. He had no right to make the pass at the end of it.

    What a finish from Elliott Whitehead.
