    A reminder of who scored what during the break as George Ford trots onto the field. Jonny May the man who has been sacrificed. Jonathan Joseph to the wing, Owen Farrell to 12.

    England 3-17 Australia

    Both teams have conceded two penalties apiece at the scrum, which is perhaps one area England could target the Aussies in the second half - although, worryingly for the hosts, Joe Marler was penalised for not going in straight at the scrum in the first half. Who knows in which direction Romain Poite will raise his arm.

    England 3-17 Australia

    England's set-piece game is going well - shame that the backline failed to ignite during the first half.

    All five of Tom Youngs' line-outs have found a white shirt, with Geoff Parling leaping to win four of them. And the Red Rose side have succeeded in three of their four scrums.

    Unfortunately for England fans, the Australia set-piece has been faultless...

    Former Wales international Adam Jones is happy, along with probably the rest of Wales right now. Not looking good for England.

    No team has overturned a 14-point deficit in Rugby World Cup history. I repeat: no team has bounced back from a 14-point deficit in the history of this tournament. But someone has to be a first, I guess.

    They said the breakdown would be key, they have so far been proven right. Michael Hooper and David Pocock ruining England's chances of gaining quick ball.

    "England need to capitalise on their territory and possession. Australia are ruthless and clinical - England are not..."

    That's the end of the half and England must dig deep into their reserves and achieve something no other English team has done before - battle back from a 14-point deficit at the break.

    Australia charging forward at panther-like speeds. England retreating, on their heels... Adam Ashley-Cooper sprinting down the wing... the right winger stopped in full flight, but Michael Hooper comes charging late into the breakdown and that's foul play, sir. England with a breather. Can they work their way into the opposition half? Meh. The hosts slow and pedestrian.

    "The beginning of that move was straight off the training park - all the big runners came on the trundle, Genia used them as a screen and Australia's backs came streaming right. It was the stuff of a coach's dreams."

    Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Australia switch from the blindside to the openside at lightening speed... Bernard Foley with the inside ball to Kurtley Beale, the replacement returns the favour, releasing his outside-half to run through unchallenged. That was a quick one-two in football parlance.  

    Foley converts his own try and Stuart Lancaster sits back in his chair, an agonised look from the head coach.

    There have been plenty of scrums in this match and although neither team has lost on their own put-in, Romain Poite is frequently tooting his whistle on this set-piece. 

    Joe Marler not driving straight, says the referee, and Australia have a touchfinder behind enemy lines.
