FT: Japan 13-26 Scotland
Scotland tries from Nel and a penalty try
Laidlaw kicks 16 points
Japan 10-23 Scotland
Japan are really struggling here as Scotland force a line-out on the 5m line, with two ganging up on one. A great chance is spurned though as Ryan Wilson and Stuart McInally operate on different wavelengths after Richie Gray gathers the ball in perfectly.
Japan 10-23 Scotland
Scotland go for the kill against the 13 men of Japan and prop WP Nel bundles his way past three challenges to touch the ball down.
Greig Laidlaw keeps up his 100% record with a fantastic conversion from a wide angle.

We're up and running again as Tommy Seymour does well to grab Greig Laidlaw's kick. Damien Hoyland then gets under a good, probing punt from Ruaridh Jackson but the winger is held up short of the line. Cracking start.

Stuart McInally can be happy with his line-out delivery, with only one errant throw in the first half. Rory Sutherland has slotted in well after coming on as an early replacement for Al Dickinson.
Winger Damien Hoyland has been quiet and Ruaridh Jackson has not been involved much at stand-off. Those two will be looking for more of the ball to impress head coach Vern Cotter.

Not only are the hosts trailing at the break but they must start the second half two players down, with Rikiya Matsuda cooling his heels on the sidelines along with Hendrik Tui, who was shown a yellow card moments before the penalty try as Scotland piled on the pressure.

"I expect the second 40 to be better. Some of the Scotland players are a bit rusty but the forwards are growing into the game and we can build on that."

A scrappy first half ends with Yu Tamura narrowly off target with a tricky penalty attempt.
A mixed bag for both sides and much for the coaches to chew over during the interval.

"Japan's discipline has gone to pot. I make it 11 penalties conceded in this opening half plus two yellow cards. Scotland are still struggling to take hold of the game, though. It's a bit of a mess out there. Not a lot of structure."
Japan 10-16 Scotland
Another Scotland maul as Japan hang on grimly. The ball is worked across the pitch smartly and Tommy Seymour is waiting for a pass in the corner only for Rikiya Matsuda to bat the ball down with his hand. It's an obvious knock-on, it's a penalty try and it's a yellow card.
Greig Laidlaw knocks over the conversion.
Japan 10-9 Scotland
Scotland come again and this time Ruaridh Jackson, knowing Scotland have a penalty, goes for an ambitious cross-kick but it's far too heavy.
Japan 10-9 Scotland
Scotland start a driving maul in a dangerous area but get their angles all wrong and Japan spin them into touch without too much trouble. However, the officials spot some jiggery-pokery and Scotland retain possession.
Japan 10-9 Scotland
Scotland rumble forward with menace but the momentum is gone as Matt Scott fumbles a long pass from Greig Laidlaw and Japan are quick to snuff out the danger. Did I mention the Japanese are quick?

The hosts are ahead again as Yu Tamura lands a monster - with room to spare - from just inside the Scotland half.
Japan 7-9 Scotland
Japan don't hang about when they get possession but are they in too much of a hurry? All too often they surrender the ball with basic handling mistakes.
Japan 7-9 Scotland
The Japanese errors continue to mount and Greig Laidlaw kicks Scotland deep into home territory but a promising phase of play comes to and end with Damien Hoyland knocked into touch.
Japan 7-9 Scotland
Stuart McInally, making just his second start, is getting treatment after a knock and the hooker looks a little groggy. Scotland have already lost Al Dickinson from the front row...

More joy for Greig Laidlaw as he thumps over a good kick from 40m as Japan struggle to cope with the scrummaging skills of WP Nel.
Japan 7-6 Scotland
A spot of wrestling breaks out with Ryan Wilson involved in some nasty grappling with an opponent but the nonsense is soon broken up.

"Japan getting horsed at the breakdown. That's four breakdown penalties against them in the first 15 minutes. Some relief for Scotland after that early shock to the system."

The gap is down to one point as Greig Laidlaw clips one over from right in front of the posts as the hosts struggle to cope at the breakdown.
