Second half just about to get underway - and it has just started raining heavily.

A traditional Yorkshire welcome.

BBC Sport pundits examine how Scotland, Wales and Ireland improve after going out in the group stage of the Rugby League World Cup.

Meanwhile, the men's competition continues from Friday, with the four quarter finals taking place over three days.

Sadly, while England will be there, Ireland, Scotland and Wales will not...

From a trumpet maestro to a father and son, who are the players to watch in the wheelchair tournament at the Rugby League World Cup?

The women's tournament starts today, but frankly that just isn't enough rugby league - the wheelchair competition begins on Thursday with Spain v Ireland followed by England against Australia...

Brazil half-back Giovanna Moura, speaking to BBC Two:

“We’re trying to get together and get the team to be as one during our games. We have our things to work out for the next half but I think we’re doing ok in the first half.”

England's biggest win came in the 2008 World Cup when they beat Russia 72-0 but if they keep pushing here and cut out one or two unforced errors it would not be a surprise to see them get close to that.

England centre Amy Hardcastle, speaking to BBC Two:

"We started well and then we were a little bit scrappy throwing the ball around. Once we actually composed and realised what we were doing, we got some shape and got some more tries.

"We just need to look after the ball, respect it and respect Brazil."

Watch as England's Caitlin Beevers opens the scoring after just 93 seconds against Brazil in the opening match of the Rugby World Cup.

That try had been coming for Amy Hardcastle. England’s record try-scorer had too much gas and power for Brazil's defensive line to deal with.

England are finishing this half so strongly so it is no surprise to see Tara Jane Stanley find another gap on the right edge in a strong finish to the half for England.

England's only aim was to win comfortably against the tournament minnows - and that is what they are doing with seven tries in the first 40 minutes.

Brazil have worked hard but are clearly outclassed here. You worry what might happen as they tire late on.

A couple of mistakes but otherwise it's been a good first half and they'll only get better.

Before that, we had a captain's challenge by Brazil, they were unhappy with a tackle by England.

Each team has one challenge per game, if you succeed you keep it but if it's overruled you lose it.

The video official says the tackle was good, so Brazil lose their challenge. Another blow.

Good hands and good vision, it's just the execution at the minute.

Another promising England move finds Tara Stanley on the right wing, but with a forward pass.

Plenty of encouragement in the England attacking play, just needs the final touches.

England should capitalise as they push back towards the Brazil line, but a simple pass is mishandled by captain Emily Rudge and the chance is lost.

This is a good game to get the errors out of the system.

Courtney Winfield-Hill chips over the top, Adriana Felix panics and has to kick it out behind her own dead ball line.

Brazil adding to their own pressure.
