  1. England 6-20 New Zealand

    Not quite. On the last tackle Amy Hardcastle is brought down by Mele Hufanga two metres away in the left corner.

    It's slipped away now. England need three scores.

  2. England 6-20 New Zealand

    And they want another score. England are 20 metres away.

  3. England 6-20 New Zealand

    New Zealand smashed England 52-4 in the semi-finals of the 2017 World Cup.

    England have come so far in five years whatever the result of this match.

  4. England 6-20 New Zealand

    Andrea Dobson
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    England have got to chance their arm now. They have to get the ball to their strike players.

  5. England 6-20 New Zealand

    England will need something incredibly special to reach their first ever World Cup final.

  6. England 6-20 New Zealand

    England star Courtney Winfield-Hill is off the field having a head-injury assessment. She has to be off for at least 15 minutes so her game is over.

  7. England 6-20 New Zealand

    It's tough against this Kiwi pack - they are big, they are mobile and they are very physical.

  8. England 6-20 New Zealand

    Ah I like the idea. England's Hollie-Mae Dodd breaks the line but her offload to Tara-Jane Stanley is intercepts by Abi Roche on halfway.

  9. England 6-20 New Zealand

    Women's Super League games last 80 minutes whereas NRLW fixtures are over after 70.

    Maybe England will finish the stronger? They defend a full Kiwi Fern set but don't get much yards with their latest possession.

  10. NO TRY

    England 6-20 New Zealand

    No try. Twenty-metre restart as Rota looses the ball and England knock-on.

  11. TRY REVIEW

    England 6-20 New Zealand

    New Zealand captain Krystal Rota is held up over the line, or is she? We go to the video review.

  12. England 6-20 New Zealand

    This game is creeping away from England. Tara-Jane Stanley drops New Zealand's latest kick and the Kiwi Ferns get the ball back 10 metres out.

  13. England 6-20 New Zealand

    Faye Gaskin
    St Helens and England half-back on BBC Two

    If Jodie had taken that ball cleanly it would have been a three on two. They have to believe in themselves because they had the numbers on that right-hand side.

  14. England 6-20 New Zealand

    Jodie Cunningham knocks-on! Yet another error from England in an attacking position. Head coach Craig Richards can't believe it.

  15. England 6-20 New Zealand

    One metre away.

  16. England 6-20 New Zealand

    Oh my mistake, it was a New Zealand knock-on from Apii Nicholls and it's upheld. England get a penalty five metres out. Get in!

  17. England 6-20 New Zealand

    Andrea Dobson
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    New Zealand have really shut Amy Hardcastle out of the game and closed down Courtney Winfield-Hill.

  18. England 6-20 New Zealand

    A final kick goes up and it's a complete scramble. I think New Zealand come down with it, but the Kiwi Ferns then challenge the call. Do they want a card?

  19. England 6-20 New Zealand

    England keep coming though, they still believe. They're back to within 20 metres with a few tackles to go.

  20. England 6-20 New Zealand

    No!!! Woman of steel Tara-Jane Stanley fumbles the ball. New Zealand get away with one.
