Is this the last time that Stuart Lancaster walks down the tunnel as England boss? Time will tell. But what is certain is that the hosts have waved goodbye to their own World Cup party. 

Australia, Wales, South Africa, Scotland, New Zealand, Argentina, Ireland and France are the eight revellers left standing, as England shuffle out of the side door.

The knockout phase begins next week, but make sure you join us again tomorrow when the pool stage is wrapped up with the final four games. See you then!

• England scored 10 tries in this game; they have only managed more in three World Cup games
• This was England’s sixth biggest World Cup win overall, and their biggest since beating Romania 67-3 in 2011

Henry Slade's dazzling performance also caught the eye of BBC Sport's chief sports writer...

England head coach Stuart Lancaster speaking to ITV: "The reaction of the crowd at the end was fantastic. It’s been a hard week for the players, but the crowd were brilliant from when we got there and throughout the match and it’s given the boys a lift."

England head coach Stuart Lancaster: "The second half performance was the sort of performance I was after. Uruguay took some breaking down but we managed that and scored some good tries.

"Overall we put some good shapes together, our attack was cohesive and the younger players put their hands up for the future."

On his own future: "It is not just on my mind, there are a lot of other people who will have a say. It has been a tough week, I just wanted to get through the week and get a good win."

England head coach Stuart Lancaster is down in the Manchester City Stadium tunnel, and he is pretty upbeat as he chats to the post-match interviewer. Talk quickly turns to his future, with him conceding: "It's not just in my hands."

Earlier on, England outcast Steffon Armitage's presence at the Super League Grand Final across town was noted, and he had some well-known company while at Old Trafford.

England scrum-half Danny Care speaking to ITV: "It was not the circumstances I would have liked to make my first appearance of the tournament, but I thought the fans were great from the moment we stepped off the coach and we wanted to put a few smiles on people’s faces. We owed the fans and ourselves a big performance. Fair play to Uruguay, they were a physical side, but it was nice to get a performance under our belts.

"We knew we had to finish on a high. People are disappointed, none more than the players in the dressing room and all we could do was throw it around out there so I thought that was tremendous."

England hat-trick hero Jack Nowell on ITV: "We had a bit of fun towards the end, and I felt a bit sorry for Anthony Watson because I went over to his wing and scored two tries! The big thing for us today was to enjoy the game and go out on a positive.

"It was a big team effort and we wanted to give the fans something to smile about."

"I'm not going to wrap this up - it's been a tremendously disappointing three or four weeks for England and the aftermath is just about to begin."

Hindsight is a brilliant thing, but if England had opted for that penalty in the dying minutes of the Wales game and secured a draw then after today's results they would be celebrating a quarter-final spot. Wonder if that decision will be on the minds of Stuart Lancaster and Chris Robshaw when they go to sleep tonight?

Little expression from Stuart Lancaster though as the camera pans on the beleaguered England boss. He knows he faces a tough few weeks ahead. No wonder he wants to go on holiday, to somewhere remote and lacking mobile phone reception, as soon as possible.

The Manchester City Stadium finds its voice to bawl out 'Swing low...." as the final whistle goes on England's woeful World Cup campaign. Ten tries and some sharp attacking play - particularly after the break - has provided some crumbs of comfort to the despondent home fans.

Hat-trick hero Jack Nowell has run 122m against Uruguay, a fifth of his team's total 560m.

But he is pipped to the man of the match award by England's other hat-trick hero...veteran number eight Nick Easter. He manages a smirk as he hears his name announced over the PA system.

"I want to be so positive for this England side. Give it four years and they could be very special. I am frustrated because I've seen quick-thinking from Ford and Slade making a very difficult two-on-one look very simple."

Couple more changes for England. Scrum-half Danny Care - who has been bright throughout - and prop Mako Vunipola are replaced.
