  1. England 6-20 New Zealand

    Last tackle. Inside five metres.

  2. England 6-20 New Zealand

    New Zealand knock-on, England get the ball back about 35 metres out!

    This has to come off.

  3. England 6-20 New Zealand

    Better set. New Zealand get the ball back on their own line.

  4. England 6-20 New Zealand

    Leah Burke is dragged into touch. That's a penalty and England will have another chance to build something.

  5. England 6-20 New Zealand

    England need a miracle. Time is still on their side mind.

  6. Andrea Dobson
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    I am not sure what the England defence were doing there.

    TRY - England 6-20 New Zealand

    Brianna Clark, goal Apii Nicholls

    Hufanga sets up Amber Hall who then finds Brianna Clark who runs into a huge gap under the posts.

    A very easy try. And the extras are good too.

    Steve Sutcliffe
    BBC Sport at Community Stadium, York

    This match is just starting to run away from Craig Richards' England side, who desperately need the next score.

    They really need a moment of inspiration to lift this York crowd.

  10. England 6-14 New Zealand

    Oh England! The set ends in disappointment as New Zealand intercept a pass.

  11. England 6-14 New Zealand

    Vicky Molyneux attacks on the short side. England are advancing.

  12. England 6-14 New Zealand

    It ain't over yet. Tara-Jane Stanley's kick bounces over the backline. New Zealand drop-out. England will come again.

  13. England 6-14 New Zealand

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

    New Zealand are in command at the moment but there are only eight points in it. England have their heads in their hands but they have to find some confidence and go back to the settled play they had in the first half.

    Otesa Pule, goal Apii Nicholls

    And New Zealand score!

    Mele Hufanga breaks the line and sets up Apii Nicholls.

    England pull in a brilliant last-ditch tackle on Nicholls but the full-back delivers a wonder pass as she falls, setting up Otesa Pule on the left to go over.

    Nicholls' kick for extras is good.

  15. England 6-8 New Zealand

    New Zealand break. England are scrambling.

  16. England 6-8 New Zealand

    Georgia Roche's grubber finds a New Zealand player and the ball is turned over.

    But this is still so much better from England, they looked so shaky two or three minutes ago.

  17. England 6-8 New Zealand

    And about 6,500 of those fans scream their support as England get another penalty after a high tackle. A chance to get forward?

  18. England 6-8 New Zealand

    And breathe. New Zealand knock-on.

    Today's attendance by the way is 7,139. Top effort.

  19. England 6-8 New Zealand

    England are really disorganised. New Zealand are 10 metres away.

  20. England 6-8 New Zealand

    Oh England please don't do this to me.

    Fran Goldthorp misses the high kick, but thankfully Caitlin Beavers collects the ball on the cover.
