The shrapnel is flying out there in these closing stages, it really is intense. O'Driscoll finds Dave Kearney who makes yards down the left wing. Ireland bring it right but Burrell turns it over and May smashes his clearance down the field. That could be that.

D'Arcy dumped by Twelvetrees, Ireland are huffing and puffing but England's house is not falling down. O'Driscoll with the half-break and offload, fine tackle by Mako Vunipola. Ireland swing it left but England turn it over and Care pins Ireland in their own 22...

Great take by Henderson at the line-out, one-handed! No need for that... Jordi Murphy on for Chris Henry, Sean Cronin on for Rory Best. Conor Murray trying to force things and he drops it. Tom Youngs on for Dylan Hartley, here comes Jonny May, kicking ahead down the left wing...

Iain Henderson is on for Peter O'Mahony, here come Ireland with that driving maul of theirs... England win the put-in. Healy off for Jack McGrath, there is a scrum awaiting him inside the England 22. Brown with a fine clearance kick, he's had a good day.

"If you're Joe Schmidt you would want a real monumental effort from your players now."

Fergus McFadden is on for Trimble for Ireland, fresh legs on the wing. Sexton with an iffy kick but Jack Nowell makes a hash of his clearance, straight into touch. O'Driscoll pirouettes through a couple of tackles, making ground while those around him can't, but Sexton can't hang onto a cheeky pass by O'Driscoll and Ireland's attack breaks down. Ireland are sent reeling at the scrum and Ireland win the put-in, Healy giving Wilson a going over. Should have been a penalty, Wood flipped the ball back with his hand. Wilson off for Henry Thomas of Millfield, Attwood on for Wood, Launchbury moved to the blind-side.

Levent Bulut:, external @mikebrown_15 and @dannycare are playing like New Zealanders. Absolutely majestic performance so far #CarryThemHome #bbcrugby

Tom Grogan:, external That is every bit as a good as a try for me. Awesome work at the breakdown by Joe Launchbury! #BBCRugby #ENGvIRL

Gareth S:, external One stupid kick could of just cost ireland a Grand Slam... Expect better from Sexton!!! #bbcrugby #sixnations

Mako Vunipola on for Joe Marler in the England front row. May down the left wing and now Ben Morgan cocks the hammer and breaks through a couple of tackles. Lawes fumbles it, Ireland scrum...

Rob Kearney is mugged at the breakdown by Joe Launchbury, it's time for some replacements. Martin Moore on for Mike Ross for Ireland, England camped in the Irish 22 again. But Ireland turn England over again and Rob Kearney eventually gets it clear.

"A brilliant England and a brilliant Harlequins try after Robshaw offloaded to Brown for Care to go over. We have a great game here."

England turned over again at the breakdown. O'Driscoll inside to Dave Kearney, Sexton with a chip over the top, Care clips his return kick into touch. A tale of two full-backs so far, Brown and Rob Kearney have been excellent.

Phillip Matthews
Former Ireland captain on BBC One

"Mike Brown, who is England's man of the match so far, has really made the difference. There were signs in the first half that this was going to be good but I think we are really on for a classic."

"Let's go right back to the pass by Ben Morgan, Ireland couldn't put him on the floor and England managed to hold the scrum. Danny Care is someone who is always so instrumental in the good things that England do."

Sexton makes a dog's dinner of his restart, scrum back in the middle. England have lost three of their own scrums so far and they make a hash of this one, Morgan flinging out an aimless pass to Nowell, who does well to salvage the situation. And here comes Brown, slashing through the Irish defensive line after a short pass by Morgan, inside pass to Care, under the posts. We've got ourselves a classic. Farrell with the extras...

O'Mahony with the take, Brown with a fine take under the high ball, May goes on a gander. Lawes galloping down the left wing like an escaped thoroughbred and here goes Care on the snipe... Burrell tries to smash his way through Irish lines but England fail to find the men out right. That's poor by England, very poor, their lines of communication seem to have been cut. Still, Farrell does pop over a penalty.

Ireland look like a very solid team from where I'm sitting and I'm sure most of you would agree. They don't do anything spectacular but they do the simple things very well. Ireland pumped at the breakdown, Rory Best winning a penalty, and Sexton finds touch.

Another line-out drive from Ireland and they roll the tank to within 5m of England's line. Lawes penalised at the breakdown, Sexton with a chance to increase Ireland's lead from out right... nailed it, England on the rack...

"This is a huge 30 minutes for certain players in the white shirt. There's going to be a hint of mayhem going through that team. They've taken some shots to the head and are on the back foot. It doubles up the errors. It needs cool, calm heads. England are semi-concussed. They don't know what day it is."

Alastair McCollum:, external That is delicious, absolutely delicious. Heaslip's timing of the mini-step and give. Magic. Schmidt must be purring. #bbcrugby

The Lion:, external It's a good game but Ireland want it more at the moment, simple as that #ENGVIRE #6nations #bbcrugby #CarryThemHome

Peter Hardy:, external England have gone off the boil now, need to get their heads back on the field #6nations #ENGvIRL #bbcrugby #CarryThemHome
