    Andrew, Richhill: "England are playing well, New Zealand haven't got going yet. But the scores are still level, that's the difference between a good side like England and a great side like the All Blacks. New Zealand will come out a different team in the second half and will blow England away."

    Richard Wigglesworth, England scrum-half: "During the week we have talked about belief coming from preparation, we talked about having belief inside the room, it does not matter what anyone outside thinks and we certainly have that belief at the moment."

    Carpe diem - that's YOLO for all the kidz out there - urged England great Jeremy Guscott, and so far that's just what England's understudies have done.

    Fourth-choice fly-half Freddie Burns has played well at 10, Kyle Eastmond likewise at inside centre, and third-choice hooker Rob Webber has also done well.

    Lock Geoff Parling, back after injury, has made his mark at the line-out and James Haskell has been all pecs and industry at blind-side.

    "Really, really positive, great to watch and not a boring game. There's been a lot of handling errors for a dry night, maybe that is the pressure. It's a proper chess match around the kicking game, and they are forcing mistakes, and one of those is going to lead to a try at some point."

    "The only disappointing thing is there have been no tries yet, both teams have been willing to score tries but the referee is controlling the game, maybe a little too much."

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 09:17 British Summer Time 7 June 2014

    England end the half on the attack with Manu Tuilagi looking threatening as the visitors power into the home 22, but the All Black defence holds firm as the likes of David Wilson and Joe Marler try to bully their way forwards, and the move comes to an end as Freddie Burns sends a drop-goal wide.

  7. PENALTY (Cruden)published at 09:15 British Summer Time 7 June 2014

    Wouldn't you know it, England immediately concede a penalty at the breakdown. Joe Launchbury carries into contact and is smashed backwards, and James Haskell infringes in desperation as the All Blacks pour over the ball.

    England scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth on BBC Radio 5 live: "Where England have the ascendency is in the breakdown, we've come on a long way in that part of the game and New Zealand are not getting anything. They are not getting any good ball and England are keeping it really well. There are some uncharacteristic errors from the All Blacks."

    Skills from James Haskell!! It's a through the legs pass from the Gun Show, but it's forward. Stick to the bosh big man, the fancy stuff is not your thing.

    New Zealand full-back Israel Dagg is ensnared by a muscular octopus and is turned over.

    Kyle Eastmond is in on the choke tackle and Ben Morgan and James Haskell then complete the job.

    England steal a line-out through Geoff Parling to halt All Black momentum - big play that from the Leicester second row as it was midway inside the England half.

    Got to be said the hosts have been getting on top over the past 10 minutes though.

    Jonathan Chase:, external Stuart Lancaster must be feeling just a little bit smug about selecting Freddie Burns.

    John Masters:, external England better than expected. ABs worse than expected. Result = great match!

    Matt: "My wife, daughter and soon-to-be-born 2nd daughter are all Kiwis, I'm the only Brit - so some divided loyalties here. Can't see us beating them unless the ABs get complacent...which will mean the doghouse for me!"

    He knows what he's talking about, does Murray. Chris Robshaw infringes at a ruck and Aaron Cruden flicks out a jab for the All Blacks.

    That all comes from England's inability to secure the ball at the restart - frustrating for the visitors.

    "England are putting it together, they are playing well without a doubt and this is a good contest. It's a bit like a sparring contest in boxing at the moment."

  16. PENALTY (Burns)published at 08:59 British Summer Time 7 June 2014

    Um, dare England fans dream?

    The hosts are penalised at a scrum. It's a tricky kick but up steps Freddie Burns and once again laces it down the middle.

    Both sides are dropping high balls at the moment. Quality of the kick? Dampness in the air. Tricky under the lights? If full-backs Mike Brown and Israel Dagg are both dropping them then something is up.

    "They are looking very strong, and a confident start from England fly-half Freddie Burns. He's done well defensively but putting over those three points will put him and the team in a confident mood."

    Really bright play from England leads to a penalty as New Zealand infringe at a ruck.

    It's wide on the left but Chris Robshaw points to the sticks and Freddie Burns duly drills it right down the middle.

    Mike Martin:, external Owens has brought both rule books today: the New Zealand one and the Rest Of The World one.

    Evan Jones:, external Typical whinging Poms tweeting moaning about the referee's decision. Get on with it and stop being pathetic.
