The visitors turn down the opportunity to aim for the posts, quickly they take a penalty... they look dangerous but Ben Youngs saves the day. Big hitting... Fiji go forward again. Gabiriele Lovobalavu with the grubber... heart in mouth time for Mike Brown as he watches the ball bobble over the line, but he gathers safely.

"What's noticeable is that England are not looking at the Fijian defensive line when they've got the ball, they're looking around at each other wondering what to do. I'd like to see more spontaneity in attack."

England have enjoyed 57% of the possession, but their handling and scrummaging has had its problems. Fiji sniping and darting forward... the visitors inside the England 22...

A scrappy couple of stop-start minutes and the referee's whistle blows once more, this time to award a penalty to Fiji. Who will take it? The left-footed Nemani Nadolo steps up... and through the middle it goes. Sweet and delicate from the big man. England's lead reduced to 10 points.

England's leading performers so far...

Metres: 51 - Mike Brown.

Carries: 6 - Mike Brown.

Tackles: 4 - Tom Youngs, Dan Cole and Courtney Lawes

The England scrum a worry for Stuart Lancaster and his team. According to our 5 live friends it's Campese Ma'afu who is causing the damage. But on the next set-piece the hosts are solid and still and it eventually leads to an England penalty. George Ford in front of the posts. A routine penalty for the outside-half.

"What a kick from Volavola. He hasn't had a great night so far but that was pinpoint. Not only has Nadolo scored a try, he may well have squashed Anthony Watson. But what happened to the English scrum over on the other touch-line?"

The scrum has been a plus for Fiji and it's a honeyed platform for Nikola Matawalu who has the footwork of a salsa dancer and zig-zags from the halfway line... and over the line he goes despite Mike Brown and Jonny May trying to drag him down. 

But was it a try? No! No! No! The electric scrum-half knocked on while trying to place the ball to ground. Scrum England 5m from their line. My, oh my.

The good news for Fiji is that scrum-half Nikola Matawalu is back on the pitch after serving his time. But ball is refusing to stick to Fijian hand... The offloading not working for the Pacific Islanders. 

Jonathan Joseph nearly intercepts Waisea Nayacalevu's inside pass, but the ball is a fraction out of his reach. Oof.

"Mike Brown did well there. He looked like he wanted to give it to Johnny May, as he did earlier, but took the gap instead. They looked like they might butcher it but they finally got some good hands going out wide, Fiji were one back short, all squeezed in, and got caught napping on the outside."

A solid platform for the English backline... Ben Youngs spins it wide, eventually the ball finds Anthony Watson but the winger is forcibly ejected into touch  by Waisea Nayacalevu.

"There has been an evolution under Fiji head coach John McKee. In the past this sin-bin might have cost them 18 points, but they're a more pragmatic team now. They've played pick and go rugby around the fringes, changed direction and kicked for territory."

Mike Brown makes amends for his error by sweeping up the bouncing ball in his own 22. Moments later, though, and the TMO is called into action again and it's deemed lock Apisalome Ratuniyarawa did not use his arms as he charged into the ruck. Penalty England and the hosts have a line-out in the opposition 22.

Here's a fact for you: England have now scored a try in each of their last six Rugby World Cup games, their best such run in the tournament.

But errors creeping into the English game at the moment - Mike Brown booting directly into touch to give the underdogs a reprieve.

The sound of 'Swing Low' reverberates around the stadium as the home fans encourage their side to score some more. Mike Brown snipes down the right... England retaining possession in the Fijian half... but Courtney Lawes loses the ball in contact and that's the end of that.
