    England 12-11 South Africa

    Owen Farrell steams in with a big tackle on Andre Esterhuizen.

    But it knocks the ball loose, but is it a legitimate challenge?

    If not, it might be a Bok penalty shot.

    If so, it is game over.

    All eyes on referee Angus Gardner...

    England 12-11 South Africa

    South Africa safely gather the line-out just short of halfway.

    The clock is in the red. They are going to have to do it from distance.

    The home fans think this is done.

    Swing Low is ringing around...

    Owen Farrell strips possession from a Springboks mitt!

    What a time to turn the ball over!

    That was pick-pocketting worthy of Fagin's finest!

    South Africa up to within 15 metres via heavy-duty runners round the corner.

    Drop-goal territory?

    it is definitely in range.

    Just pushed to the right of the post by Handre Pollard. It was that close it clipped the post, but it counts for nothing as he holds his head in his hands.

    South Africa's front row take their revenge!

    England scrum is crumbled and crumpled to earn the penalty.

    Andrew Cotter
    Commentator on BBC TV

    We’re back to a more familiar England of last season now with Ford and Farrell in tandem. South Africa will feel they should have built a handsome lead when they had their chances in the first half, but they could not do so.

    England are trying to take the sting out of the game. Danny Care takes his time at the back of a rolling maul, nibbling down the clock as his backline get organised.

    But George Ford runs down a cul-de-sac, isolated from his support and is kept off the deck in the tackle.

    South Africa with the scrum right on halfway.

    England's pack loved that.

    Harry Williams and Jamie George slap each other's backs red raw after getting the jump on the South African front row at scrum-time.

    Penalty England.

    Owen Farrell is lining it up from angle and 22m out...

    Sensational play by England, directed by Owen Farrell, who took a thunderous hit earlier in the play. Lovely ball over the top under pressure from Ben Te'o and then Brad Shields is put away but why spoil it with an offload over his head to no one.

    England 9-11 South Africa

    England get around the outside of South Africa's rush defence, raising a murmur of expectation. Elliot Daly recognises that the cover is coming across to snare him though and cuts back.

    England work it back and forth.

    Brad Shields lurking on the whitewash, charges for the corner.

    Nope! He is tackled five metres short, throwing a hugely ambitious back of the hand offload forward in the process.

    Chris Ashton slaps his thighs in frustration.

    What happened there was, ‘we can’t think of anything else to do and we’re all shattered’. A good passage of play though, it was a great run from Jonny May. England just need to be a bit more precise when they’re in possession.
