    England fly-half Danny Cipriani - another to miss out on the World Cup squad  - enjoyed that try from Anthony Watson.

    We're now in England's half, but Tom Youngs, galvanised, steals possession... but it's a messy exchange of play, the ball booted back and forth...

    "Ford has been a massive difference, he's been taking it to the line, a little bit like Foley for Australia. Ford has all the vision in the world and he's running the show at the moment."

    They couldn't come back, could they? They're giving it a go. George Ford's regal handling giving England an extra dimension... a bull-like run from Anthony Watson, through Bernard Foley and Will Genia, and over the line he charges. 

    A masterful touchline conversion from Owen Farrell.

    Kieran Brookes is another fresh face into the England front-row, the tight-head prop replacing Dan Cole. 

    A honeyed platform for England's backline but England swamped bymen in green and gold... England retaining possession, though, even though they're losing ground. 

    But, hang on, Tom Wood injects impetus... Promising...

    "Dan Cole was lucky to get away with that - if Bernard Foley had caught that, he was away and in for a try."

    Temperatures rising as England secure line-out ball and recycle... George Ford zig-zagging... the hosts spinning from one side to another... 

    Bernard Foley intercepts Jonathan Joseph's pass. A deliberate knock-on? No, says the TMO, just simply a knock-on. It could have been a penalty try but, instead, England must make do with a scrum on Australia's 22. 

    Dan Cole perhaps lucky to get away with a little contact there on the Australia fly-half as he tried to regather.

    England did not pick former European player of the year Steffon Armitage, a renowned breakdown operator, because he plays his club rugby in France.

    Much of the pre-match chat centered around Australia's threat at the breakdown. And here are the grim numbers for Stuart Lancaster's side...

    Perhaps unsurprisingly Mako Vunipola comes on for Joe Marler as England make more changes. 

    Oof. A late charge into Chris Robshaw by Kane Douglas and England opt for touch. Prince Harry bellowing at the team from the posh seats, adding his voice to the 80,000-strong roar.

    "You are definitely not straight," referee Romain Poite tells punk prop Joe Marler. "Now you have to be very disciplined." 

    Bernard Foley, successful with three from three so far, continues his unblemished record. Tap, tap, tap, another nail into England's World Cup coffin.

    "The referee has just given Marler a final warning and England have to get him off now, because if England go down the 14 men, it's game over."

    "Everyone is going to be talking about Giteau coming over from France to play for Australia, it's the kind of knowledge he brings that you need to win a World Cup."

    England must climb their way back into the light by the might of their collective will, but they're making sloppy errors. Too many men in the line-out, presenting the Aussies with a put-in at the scrum with the England 22 in shoving distance. And shove the Wallabies do, a push and a shove and the England scrum retreats. Oh my.

    The crowd chirping about chariots swinging low as Australia have put-in at the scrum after an Anthony Watson knock-on. Will Genia messes up the box kick, though, and England steal possession... 

    Excitable roars inside the stadium, but they are silenced by David Pocock. The flanker with a vice-like grip around Tom Wood and the ball. 

    Michael Hooper and David Pocock smile at each other, as if to say "we've got them on toast".

    Jonny May injured, apparently, which has forced Stuart Lancaster to show his hand earlier than he would have wanted. Australia monopolising possession in these early stages.

    What will the change in personnel do to England's fortunes. The second half is up and running so we'll soon find out.
