    North once again down the left flank but Tuilagi tracks him and takes him down. England with the line-out and they manage to hang on to it. Care gets his hands on the ball, reels away and thumps the ball into the stands. Great game of rugby, the best of the championship so far by some distance.

    Maro Itoje is named man of the match. Fine kick by Priestland, Wales in England territory again... Owens with the through to the back, it runs loose, Francis falls on it...

    North again, flying down the left wing unopposed. Wales into England's 22 again... Faletau over! With Cole in the bin, England are on the ropes as the match reaches the championship rounds... Priestland, on for Biggar, lands the extras, that Triple Crown in danger of tipping from England's head...

    North goes over in the left-hand corner. Great offload by Liam Williams, he feeds Jonathan Davies, who shovels it to North, who isn't going to miss from there. Great line by Williams, we could be in for a tasty last five minutes. Biggar kicks the extras.

    An update from the Wales dressing room on captain Sam Warburton who was forced off after a collision earlier on:

    Itoje is having a monumental game, this time he's all over Gareth Davies at the back of the scrum but gets pinged for not rolling away. Wales in the corner now, England give up another penalty, Dan Cole is sent to the bin for collapsing, might as well head to the changing room and start filling the bath.  

    The TMO is having a look at some potential foul play, looks like Tom Francis has a swipe at Cole's eyes. This could be a red card, big reaction from the Twickenham faithful...

    Christopher Worrall: Surely this is the best England performance since beating New Zealand in 2012?

    Matthew Mansfield: Itoje is having an absolute stormer today

    "I find it staggering that Wales go the same way every time - straight into the tackle. The defence just read it and pick the runners up. It's so easy to defend."

    "What a difference Owen Farrell makes for England. If you can guarantee 14, 15, 16 points a game you are so pivotal in these games."

    Farrell

    Farrell with a good tackle on Charteris, Kruis gets over the ball and it's another chance for Farrell off the tee. Through it goes, I think we can safely say that England have just donned the Triple Crown.

    England penalty, it's Tuilagi with his first carry and Luke Charteris has bent his finger attempting to get to grips with his armoured body. That was almost bent at a right-angle, nasty stuff, although I'm sure they'll just pop it back in. More importantly, that burst from Tuilagi led to a penalty, which Farrell converted.

    Harem-scarem stuff, which finishes with Cuthbert being dragged into touch. And here is the return of Manu Tuilagi, Ford off, Farrelll to 10. The Leicester man hasn't played for England since the summer of 2014.

    George McAllister: England need to up their game. In danger of throwing away their current lead.

    Jonny Duchezeau: The Welsh were right, Ford is the weak link.

    England 19-7 Wales

    A much more even contest in the second half, as exemplified by this scrum, which goes nowhere. They go again and this time Vunipola attempts to dribble it up the pitch from number eight, it all goes a bit awry, but England win the penalty. Ford clears his lines...
