    Good line-out drive from England and Ben Youngs clears deep. Really solid exit play there from the 22 by England.

    "England still seem narrow in midfield, they are obviously really worried about people coming flying through there."

    This really is end to end stuff. Cory Jane chips ahead after a sweeping move and England centre Manu Tuilagi just wins the race to touch down ahead of the flying Israel Dagg.

    James Gray:, external Freddie Burns already impressing me - still would have started Cipriani for the extra creative spark though.

    Luke:, external Nigel Owens already has laid down his marker with how this game is going to go. New Zealand have a different rule book

    Oh, so close for England. Jonny May and Chris Robshaw both feature as England get to within five metres, but the move breaks down as Mike Brown knocks on. Really bright start from the under-strength visitors.

    Here come the All Blacks, Ben Smith making good yardage up the middle on the cut before Cory Jane is brought down by Mike Brown five metres out on the left wing.

    But when the hosts move the ball back infield Ben Youngs is offside, and Aaron Cruden slots the simple kick.

    Richard Wigglesworth, England scrum-half: "We have put them under pressure and had a good return so far, if we can keep this pressure up hopefully we can force some more errors off them."

    Sheelagh via SMS on 81111 (UK only): "Blatant cheating from Nonu. Clinical attempt to prevent Haskell running a supporting line and scoring an easy try. How has he not been given a yellow card?"

    New Zealand attacking the 10 channel through Ma'a Nonu, but Freddie Burns stands firm.

    When the All Blacks kick Jonny May is penalised for knocking the ball on - shocking decision from the highly-respected Nigel Owens that.

  10. Postpublished at 08:42 British Summer Time 7 June 2014

    Not the best of starts for Ma'a Nonu, who now hoofs the ball out on the full. The New Zealand centre is lucky to be on the pitch - given the jeers maybe he wishes he was in the sin bin at the moment.

    David Flood:, external I'm sure I wasn't the only one who had very miserable dreams about the outcome of this last night.

    James Gray:, external Cannot understand the scheduling that means England face New Zealand so very under-strength. Could be a mauling.

    "Great start from England. They put pressure in the 22 immediately and the break through midfield was outstanding."

  13. PENALTY (Burns)published at 08:39 British Summer Time 7 June 2014

    Chris Robshaw escapes through a gap around the side of a ruck and trundles deep into the hosts' 22. Ma'a Nonu pulls back the supporting James Haskell and Freddie Burns slots the penalty.

    Freddie Burns gets us under way.

    Aaron Cruden clears for New Zealand and Marland Yarde returns with intent, Good start for England.

    On Freddie Burns getting the nod over Danny Cipriani at fly-half:

    "I was surprised, I thought Danny deserved the opportunity, but the environment with Stuart is if they know the structure he will back them. Freddy did not have a great season but he will ignore that, and if he plays to the best of his abilities he can do well."

    Andrew: "If this depleted England side somehow manage to beat the mighty All Blacks at Eden Park this morning then I'll eat my body weight in kiwi fruit for my breakfast, lunch and dinner today. I hate kiwi fruit, that shows how confident I am in a New Zealand victory."

    Former England captain Mike Tindall on BBC Radio 5 live: "The pressure is on England but it does not look like its weighing on their shoulders. If they can carry that in, they can dent the All Blacks confidence."
