  1. England 3-10 Australiapublished at 32 min

    The energised Joe Launchbury charges down Will Genia's box kick, but Owen Farrell hasn't got the speed to punish the men in green and gold and the hosts must again prepare for a wave of green and gold attack. Launchbury huffing and puffing, the lock has covered acres in the last five minutes.

    Joe Launchbury, with the finesse of a sledgehammer, charges through two defenders, a burst which takes his team on the verge of the 22... but David Pocock, the jackal, is bossing the breakdown and sniffs out England ball.

  3. England 3-10 Australiapublished at 29 min

    Australia opt from the long line-out, Ben Morgan and Chris Robshaw drive the visitors infield and earn a put-in at the scrum as the Aussies fail to release. And that's another penalty for the men in white, Australia penalised at the scrum.

    England's Rugby World cup winning scrum-half Matt Dawson is worried about the scrum...

  5. England 3-10 Australiapublished at 27 min

    A round of applause for Australia's forwards from, well, themselves. Dan Cole caught turning the scrum and that gives Australia the chance to boot it into the hosts' 22 and march forward for the line-out. Worrying times for Stuart Lancaster's men.

    "Israel Folau is not the best kicker in the world so if England can launch long kicks to him in the corners, that might test out his defensive game."

    One is not impressed.

  8. England 3-10 Australiapublished at 24 min

    But David Pocock, the master of the breakdown, nicks the ball and Australia boot it long, into opposition territory. The visitors off the hook.

    Edge-of-the-seat stuff as Jonathan Joseph bursts through the middle... England charging forward, hovering near Australia's 22... the hosts looking for an immediate riposte.

    "It was a classic mismatch that every rugby-playing back in the world dreams of - three Australian backs against a couple of England forwards, England were bound to break eventually."

    Inch by inch Australia's forwards rumble... they're sniffing the posts. England holding firm, though, which is why the Wallabies change tactic, let the backs have a go... they switch it one way, then the other... Will Genia with a snappy pass at the breakdown, setting Bernard Foley loose and the outside-half, with a shuffle of the hips, weaves through from 10m, evading Mike Brown's tackle. 

    The outside-half rubs two points into England's wounds, too. 

  13. England 3-3 Australiapublished at 17 min

    Israel Folau sashays through midfield... anxiety rippling around the stadium whenever the light-footed full-back receives the ball. 

    Momentum swinging like an overworked pendulum. Australia now in enemy territory and are awarded a put-in at the scrum inside England's 22.

  14. England 3-3 Australiapublished at 16 min

    Owen Farrell puts Jonathan Joseph in all sorts of trouble with a rushed flick over the shoulder, an Australian defender comes racing up and not even Houdini could wriggle his way out of that sort of straight jacket. England aiming to play on the front foot, though, which is why the crowd are probably signing.

    England 3-3 Australia

    Australia's lightning-quick start, in terms of both possession and territory, is illustrated rather neatly in our snazzy graphic. But - in the one statistic that really matters - England have fought back to level.

    High-octane, high-tempo stuff... Joe Launchbury and Tom Wood go pumping and snorting down the wing... England building momentum, retaining possession.. a cute flick to Mike Brown and the hosts are nearing Australia's 22...

    Owen Farrell in front of the posts. Owen Farrell as accurate as ever. 

  18. England 0-3 Australiapublished at 11 min

    An early shuffle in the Australian line-up, Kurtley Beale replacing winger Rob Horne... Eventually play restarts... Ben Youngs presents the ball to his hooker, but Sekope Kepu is unsteady on his feet, which gifts the peerless Owen Farrell a chance to level the score.

    "What I liked about that move from England was that Joseph and Barritt seemed to have better synergy than last week. The subtle little changes, with Farrell switching position, altered the picture defensively for Australia."
