    The biggest cheer of the afternoon greets Chris Ashton. He may not be a favourite of Eddie Jones, but he’s a favourite of the English crowd. What a journey it’s been for him via France and several bans.

    England bring on more men off the bench.

    Harry Williams, Danny Care and, to the biggest cheer of all, Chris Ashton makes his international comeback.

    England 9-8 South Africa

    England have got into their groove now.

    Jonny May darts up from deep, linking with fellow wing Jack Nowell and South Africa are in retreat.

    The Boks defence is stretched but holds strong. England are bristling with danger with the ball in hand now though.

  5. Missed penaltypublished at 62 mins

    England 9-8 South Africa

    Just short of legs.

    The ball bounces off the top of the post protector from Owen Farrell's boot.

    It was perfect for direction.

    England 9-8 South Africa

    Warren Wheatley clambers over Maro Itoje as the pair contest a line-out ball.

    England have another penalty shot. It is 40m plus and out on the angle. Is that one for the sharpshooter of Owen Farrell or the blunderbus of Elliot Daly?

    The former is going to take it...

  7. Replacementpublished at 59 mins

    England 9-8 South Africa

    Centre Andre Esterhuizen is on for Sibusiso Nkosi.

    Jesse Kriel will shift out to the wing to compensate.

    As soon as Elliot Daly gets that ball, he has to give it to Jonny May on the outside. He has played well, but just a few things today have made it look like he doesn't play at full-back very often.

    South Africa have lost a bit of their momentum from the first half. They’ve made too many mistakes and given England a chance.

    Daniel Fellow: Imagine how good England would be if we could catch, tackle and kick.

    Anthony White: England will need the morale boost of a slender lead for the likely SA onslaught in the final 25 mins.

    England bring Jamie George into the fray for the final 25 minutes.

    Dylan Hartley goes to cool his heels on the bench.

    Oh, delicious from Owen Farrell as he feints and darts on halfway.

    Elliot Daly is on his shoulder, and Jonny May is outside him.

    But South Africa smother the rocket-boosters with desperate cover tackles.

    This game has opened up now. Finally.

    Ben Te'o with a rib-tickler of a tackle on Siya Kolisi.

    Maro Itoje with a nostril-flaring charge.

    Suddenly England have hit the front and got a bit of wind in their sails.

  14. 'Astonishing scoreline'published at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2018

    Andrew Cotter
    Commentator on BBC TV

    It’s an astonishing scoreline because it’s been largely a defensive effort from England. Frustration might start to show from South Africa.

    Elliot Daly

    And somehow England are ahead.

    Elliot Daly drills an absolute monster of a penalty, clearing the crossbar with room to spare from 45 metres.

    England have been second best across the park, but have brought their kicking boots.

    Steve Downes: Hugely encouraging to see the young talent like Tom Curry and Zach Mercer on show for England. The future’s bright!

    I cannot get my head around what is being communicated to the England forward pack. They are losing too much possession to soft penalties.

  18. Postpublished at 49 mins

    England 6-8 South Africa

    That is more like it from Malcolm Marx, piledriving head first into the England defence.

    But the ball has been ripped loose.

    Zach Mercer cannot evade a tackler.

    A boot downfield. Full-back Damian Willemse with a chance to stretch his legs on the counter.

    Oh, that is lovely. Order more post-match ice, there are plenty of English ankles that will need it after the hot-stepper weaves 40m upfield before being stopped.

    Debutant Zach Mercer's got the backing of Bath team-mate Jonathan Joseph.

  20. 'Mistakes in crucial areas'published at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2018

    Commentator on BBC TV

    It’s mistakes in crucial areas for South Africa. Just when they had England on the back foot, another line-out’s gone horribly wrong and the Springbok’s are suddenly 80m back down the pitch.
