    Fabulous from Brown. Owen Farrell the architect, a delightful offload from the replacement outside-half, Jonny May then pops the ball up from the floor and the supporting Mike Brown gathers and touches down near the corner flag. Owen Farrell continues his 100% record, through the sticks with the conversion.

    England form a maul after a perfect line-out, but the visitors turn over ball - their 10th turnover of the night - and fleet-footedscrum-half Nikola Matawalu attempts to set his backs in motion...

    Just over 10 minutes to go and the men in red upping the ante, bursting into opposition territory, and the Fijian defence is caught offside, replacement Peceli Yato rashly kicking the ball at the breakdown,  which presents Owen Farrell with a chance. It's his first kick of the match - and his first three points of the tournament.

    "Unfortunately I'm going to have to say Burgess bought the dummy from Nadolo there before going through Billy Vunipola. I think they both thought they were covering each other."  

  6. Penalty - Volavola (Fiji)published at 64 mins

    England 18-11 Fiji

    Fiji have missed four kicks at goal so far... they cannot afford to mess this one up if they are to have hopes of snatching victory. 

    England caught offside, Sam Burgess falling for Nemani Nadolo's dummy. The winger passes responsibility on to his outside-half and Ben Volavola hits it true and through the middle. 

    They couldn't could they?

    England 18-8 Fiji

    Fiji have advantage... Ben Volavola with the cross-field kick, but the visitors not getting anywhere so Nemani Nadolo has a chance to reduce the arrears. But he screws his effort wide. He should have booted that one. England off the hook.

    ...Not as ruthless as they should be. Richard Wigglesworth, at the bottom of the ruck, is penalised for holding on to the ball. I say holding on, he was hiding the ball from Fijian hands with his legs and that gives Ben Volavola a chance to find touch and give his team a breather.

    England on the attack... Anthony Watson with a shuffle of the hips in the middle of the field.. little gained... captain Chris Robshaw does more damage, bursting through tackles... The hosts inside the enemy 22... Mike Brown at the breakdown... holds on to a slipping ball... how ruthless are the hosts?

    Nemani Nadolo with an opportunity to extend his stride, but the eagle-eyed Joe Launchbury is there to cover and guides the big wing into touch. A sniff of a chance for the beguiling winger.

    England win their own line-out on the edge of the English 22, but a sloppy pass from scrum-half Nikola Matawalu loses them territory and England turn defence into attack... Jonny May pumping and snorting down the left... he kicks ahead... Fiji alert...

    England captain Chris Robshaw is leading by example. His nine tackles so far is the most from anyone on his side. The captain needs to calm his troops, however. Dan Cole seeing red mist as he's slapped in the face.

    Lock Joe Launchbury removes his tracksuit top, takes a swig from his water bottle. The lock is part of a quadruple substitution. On come prop Mako and number eight Billy Vunipola, and scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth. The sound of 'Swing Low' echoing around the famous arena...

    Referee Jaco Peyper calls the TMO into action again. Tom Wood is penalised for a high tackle, the back-rower Leone Nakarawa to the ground by the scruff of the neck. A pressure-relieving touch finder for the visitors.

    "The England forwards won't like that option by George Ford, they do all that work and then they go and kick it away. It just wasn't on."
