"It was a beautiful strike from Greig Laidlaw. His kicking was around 94% in last year's Six Nations and that was an important strike."

Chris Robshaw gets caught on the wrong side of a ruck and all the pleading and rolling around cannot get him off that charge.

Grieg Laidlaw gives the penalty a mighty hoof and the ball soars over to reduce the arrears.

"You've got to say, on the balance of play, England deserve this lead. It was a bit easy for Kruis. But if you're going to concede a try, you might as well do it early in the game, and give yourself chance to regroup."

Ex-England hooker on BBC One

"Dan Cole was able to keep the scrum square which gave them options and the Scotland second rows missed their tackles. England have demonstrated that they know with certainty what they want to do. What they didn't do in the World Cup was play with an air of certainty."

"Going for the drop-goal is a signal of intent, but once you do it and miss it, then it always feels like a waste of possession."

Jack Nowell with a glimmer of space down the left wing for England. A well-weighted chip ahead. 

Stuart Hogg is back to claim it, but cannot get back the other side of his own try line before the Exeter man tackles him.

Scrum five England.

"The drop-goal is a decent option but after that number of phases you don't want to come away with nothing. Three points is useful but they've come away with nothing."

George Ford decides momentum is slowing in his side's surges and opts for a pot at goal.

A whisker wide. He should have done better from close in and under little pressure.

Billy Vunipola barrels up. James Haskell flies in like a bear attacking a wasps nest.

England inching closer as the heavy artillery booms...

Scotland hooker Ross Ford is penalised for a crooked throw into the line-out.

That has put his side under pressure.

"The pitch looks magnificent. I'd love to see this game open up. I just think we can look back to the last day of last year's Six Nations, when teams had to go out for points to win the title. If both sides go with that mindset, we could be in for a cracking game."

Mike Brown is scragged as he attempts to run the ball out of the England 22m.

Frenetic stuff all around. 

Danny Care lobs a quick line-out long to George Ford. Midfield snarl-up. Penalty England.

Booted deep into Scotland territory.

A glorious mess so far.

"England's scrummage in the World Cup was frankly awful. If Scotland can get an edge on Joe Marler in the scrum, that's an area they will look at."

The gamble backfires.

England spin wide but George Ford drops the ball as he attempts to run around Jonathan Joseph.

Cheers around Murrayfield.

England are awarded a penalty for a scrum infringement inside the Scotland 22 metre.

And Dylan Hartley calls the front rows back together. 

Gutsy.

Faz Khalifa: Dylan Hartley's a great appointment as England captain. You need the hardest, intimidating, on the edge player to drag your team along.

Margaret Miller: Here we go chaps. It doesn't get better than this, apart from a win for Scotland.

Scott Walker: Up bright and early in the US to cheer on Scotland. Let's continue that World Cup form.  

Richard Jones: Come on England, World Cup gone, let's start a new era with a new boss.
