    Kyle: I'm sick of England being their own worst enemies. They are giving away far too many penalties it will cost them again today unless they sort it out.

    Dan Aitch: Is Henry Slade on the field or are England choosing to play with 14?

    Another error. Another one by England.

    A kick from South Africa in behind and Elliot Daly collects but takes the ball over his own try line before touching down.

    A scrum to South Africa 5m out. This could be curtains.

    A change in the backs for South Africa. Jesse Kriel on. Lukhanyo Am off.

    Another England error sees them concede possession again.

    It seems they don't know how to win anymore.

    It would be his first appearance for England since 2015 if Cipriani was to be introduced. What a stage it would be for him to return.

    England have conceded nine penalties to South Africa's seven by the way. It feels like it's worse than that.

    Simon Hughes: Surely now is the time to bring on Cipriani. Vision required coupled with flair.

    England are not going to score from this attack. They take the ball into the maul but don't go aware and are punished by the referee's whistle.

    For the second time England come away empty-handed from within 5m.

    Mako Vunipola is replaced by Joe Marler.

    That shows you should never stop trying to stop a try - it was a tiny finger that stopped Brad Shields getting the ball down. Magnificent, last-ditch defence from South Africa.

    That's not down. Brilliant work from Franco Mostert to deny Shields and England on the try line.

    England will get another chance though as we go back for another infringement.

    Over Brad Shields goes! This could be huge on his first England start. Is it his first England try?

    They're going to check the grounding...

    Back we go for that foul with S'busiso Nkosi judged to be off side. England kick to touch, within 10m of the touchline.

    Itoje collects cleanly...

    Good work from Tom Curry to steal the ball back after England had lost it yet again. Mike Brown now stretches his legs to take England up to the South Africa 22. They have the advantage too...

    This is exactly when England need to fine their structure, they need sharp thinkers on the field to plot their way around the field. At the moment they're making little errors all over the pitch.

    Rae: England clearly have nowhere near enough good decision makers in this team. Mistake after mistake and lack of composure.

    Big Nathan Hughes, who is bandaged up all down his left leg, smashes into a tackle but can't make any ground for England.

    England must score next and take a quick line-out...

    Don't get beaten in a Test match just because you won't get your bench on. We saw the effect there in the scrum. Eddie Jones needs to get his bench on immediately and match South Africa.

    Changes all around.

    Bongi Mbonambi off for South Africa and Akker van der Merwe on.

    Harry Williams on for England in place of Kyle Sinckler.

    England are getting blown away in the early stages of this half.

    We spoke about the impact of the bench, South Africa's new front-rowers were fresh there and it came off.

    Try - South Africa 20-12 Englandpublished at 50 mins

    Penalty try

    The power is immense from the Springboks at the scrum and up pops the head of England prop Kyle Sinckler.

    The referee holds out his arm for the advantage and as the charge comes from South Africa he awards the penalty try.

    Seven points to South Africa. They have breathing space.

    England need a big push from their pack now. Can they win this scrum?

    The first attempt at the put-in fails. We re-set.

    South Africa need to kick this territory into points, because England's defence is brilliant right now.
