  1. England 32-10 France

    Are there more fireworks for England late on?

    Grace Field cuts through and gains significant yards before the first tackle.

    CONVERTED TRY - England 32-10 France

    Georgia Roche

    England hit 30! Jodie Cunningham teases the French defenders, slowly traversing across the line and waiting for the perfect pass.

    The gap opens up and Cunningham feeds in Georgia Roche who breaks through and crosses for her second try of the game.

    Tara Stanley makes no mistake with her conversion.

  3. England 26-10 France

    Poor again from England as another fumble gives up a fine attacking position.

    France lose the ball immediately though and England have it back on the attack.

  4. England 26-10 France

    And now another England pen gives them a new set well into France's half.

    Can England add some more points?

  5. England 26-10 France

    Less than 10 minutes remain. France have found their second wind and look the likelier to score next.

    That said, England win the ball back in their own half after a French knock-on.

  6. England 26-10 France

    Another fumble and then a forward pass.

    England have been good, but not great. Still plenty to work on as possession returns to France.

  7. England 26-10 France

    Another good kick-off from Tara Stanley results in a goalline drop-out.

    England are responding perfectly.

  8. converted try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 26-10 France

    Mailys Borak

    It's a great finish from teenager Mailys Borak who steps to beat her opposite number before sliding over the line.

    Elisa Ciria makes no mistake with the conversion.

  9. England 26-4 France

    Better again from France, this time Laurane Biville breaks through and gains some good yardage.

    France are within five.

  10. England 26-4 France

    Oh so nearly.

    France do go deep into England's half and very nearly find the break through through try-scorer Cristina Song-Puche.

    But she lets the ball slip through her fingers when receiving a pass down the left.

  11. England 26-4 France

    Shamoon Hafez
    BBC Sport at Halliwell Jones Stadium

    That was a thunderous tackle from Elisa Akpa on Leah Burke in the build-up to that try.

    'Ooooohs' rang around the stadium and you could hear the thud at the opposite end of the pitch.

    Brutal stuff out there, on a rather cold and dreary June afternoon.

    Where's the sun gone?!

  12. England 26-4 France

    Twenty minutes remain. I can't remember the last time France made true inroads into England's half.

  13. England 26-4 France

    England have been ruthless since the restart.

  14. converted try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 26-4 France

    Georgia Roche

    England's dominance continues!

    Georgia Roche sends Leah Burke through down the right and Burke is only just stopped by a try-saving tackle from Elisa Akpa.

    But no need to panic, as Roche goes over on the next play following an excellent dummy.

    Tara Stanley's kick is good.

  15. England 20-4 France

    A great kick from Courtney Winfield-Hill takes France inside their own five-metre line.

    France by the way are back to 13 players.

  16. England 20-4 France

    More good defensive play as both sides trade possession.

    This will suit England with neither side going anywhere in particular.

  17. England 20-4 France

    France, a player down, look dead on their feet.

  18. try

    TRY - England 20-4 France

    Amy Hardcastle

    Brilliant from England. Tara Stanley dumps the ball off to Amy Hardcastle who bulldozes her way under the posts.

    That's Hardcastle's second try of the day, she got a hat-trick the last time these two met. Same again?

    Stanley can't convert with her kick.

  19. England 16-4 France

    And straight into the action as a clever kick from Georgia Roche nearly sends Courtney Winfield-Hill through, but France just about clear the ball away.

  20. England 16-4 France

    Great news. Winfield-Hill returns to her feet.

    She'd actually been taken out by her own teammate Shona Hoyle.
