    England 46-13 Italy

    England aren't going to settle for eight tries. They want more.

    Another attacking break sees them go inside the Italian 22, but La Toya Mason's handling error scuppers their march.

    Italy earn the scrum.

    England 46-13 Italy

    Maria Magatti makes an acrobatic leap to try to keep the ball in play but the Italy wing ends up injuring her shoulder. That looked like a nasty landing.

    Danielle Waterman (con Reed)

    How about try number eight for England?

    Danielle Waterman goes over for a second time, and is once again set up by Katy Mclean.

    Waterman thinks about offloading to her left as she runs towards the line but decides on the dummy and wrong-foots a blue shirt to cross under the posts.

    Amber Reed lands the conversion.

    England 39-13 Italy

    Sofai Stefan makes a lovely little grubber kick up the left flank as she tries to earn some territory for Italy.

    England win the ball back but Manuela Furlan is able to kick clear into the touch to alleviate the threat.

    England 39-13 Italy

    England have made a change at scrum half, with La Toya Mason coming on for Natasha Hunt.

    And soon after the England cavalry arrive. I think the entire front three have been changed as Italy prepare for a scrum in their own half.

    England 39-13 Italy

    Marlie Packer's loved weaving her way through the Italian back line today.

    The England flanker makes another powerful run but the attack breaks down after a loose ball from Amy Wilson-Hardy misses the ready and waiting Amy Cokayne.

    Danielle Waterman

    Seven!

    Danielle Waterman receives the ball after some quick hands from Katy Mclean.

    The England full-back wriggles free from several blue shirts and taps down on the left. She showed brutal strength to get past the defence there.

    Another miss from the tee from Scarratt.

    England 34-13 Italy

    Italy are penalised for not releasing and England kick to the corner as they go for a seventh try.

    The line out isn't great, but the Red Roses keep the ball and they try and drive across the left.

    Elisa Giordano

    Yes they can!

    After driving forward from the line out, Elisa Giordano gets down low and lands the ball over the whitewash.

    England question whether it needs to be checked, but the referee is sure of his decision.

    Michela Sillari's conversion is missed so Italy settle for five points.

    England 34-8 Italy

    Italy finally get inside enemy territory and they drive forward with so much force.

    They're so close to the line but England's defence scramble.

    Can they nudge over?

    Emily Scarratt (con Scarratt)

    ... it's a second try for Emily Scarratt!

    The England captain intercepts a loose Italy ball and takes only two steps before crashing over.

    Scarratt adds the extras too.

    England 27-8 Italy

    Italy can't get a foot hold in this second half at all.

    England are five metres from the try line again.

    Rochelle Clark pushes and pushes and...

    Tamara Taylor

    England have a fifth!

    Tamara Taylor, one of the World Cup winners in 2014, crosses over after another darting run by flanker Marlie Packer.

    Emily Scarratt still can't get the conversion right, though. The kicking game is really a thorn in England's side.

    England 22-8 Italy

    England take a line-out on the halfway mark.

    They feed all the way from right to left and back again as they attempt to break the blue wall.

    England 22-8 Italy

    Beatrice Rigoni kicks us back under way in Dublin.

    England have made a change - fly-half Katy Mclean is on and Rachael Burford is off, which means Amber Reed has moved into the midfield at 12.

    As it stands they're the top two in the pool.

    Amy Cokayne

    Amy Cokayne finishes off the lovely move by Marlie Packer.

    England snatch the bonus point before half-time.

    Emily Scarratt is getting closer with her kicking. This attempt comes off the upright.

    After a well-executed line-out, Scarratt goes on the charge again.

    England are being held up just before the 22 metre mark by a wall of blue shirts.

    But Marlie Packer drives her legs and England edge close to the line.
