    It’s a great score. South Africa finally get the continuity and the clinical finish.

    South Africa finally translate their pressure to the scoreboard.

    Damian de Allende worms through a gap to get the England defence back-pedalling.

    The ball zips back blind and some lovely princess-soft hands from Aphiwe Dyantyi and Warren Whiteley keep Elliot Daly locked in and frees Sibusiso Nkosi to scamper into the corner.

    Handre Pollard misses the extras from the touchline.

    England 3-3 South Africa

    England are suddenly suffering in the scrum. Their pack is sent spinning backwards like a Northern Soul vinyl collection and South Africa have possession against the head on the white 22m line.

    Heroic from Henry Slade.

    The England centre scents the danger, takes responsibility and flies up out of the line to attempt an intercept.

    It very nearly sticks, but most importantly it stops the Boks momentum.

    That’s the third line-out in a scoring position that South Africa have failed to drive. Now Maro Itoje is back on and you can tell by the reaction of the crowd that they understand the significance of that.

    Another eyesore of a throw-in from World Player of the Year nominee Malcolm Marx.

    England are on the rack, facing a line-out five metres from their own line.

    Yet again, Marx puts too much muscle into it and misses his man at the back of the line.

    England cheers. Rassie Erasmus grimaces in the stands.

    Surely all they need to do is hit their man and fire up rolling maul.

    Cheers roll around the stands followed by a chorus of Swing Low Sweet Chariot as Maro Itoje, a talisman at just 24, is released from the sin bin and back into the fray.

    England have actually won his yellow-card period 3-0, ducking, diving and surviving some heavy Bok pressure.

    Half-time at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff and it's Wales who lead Scotland 14-10.

    George North has scored a try for the hosts, with Leigh Halfpenny weighing in with three penalties.

    Captain Stuart McInally went over for the visitors.

    I'm a little bit concerned about the way South Africa are playing because it is a little bit un-South Africa like. They are thinking their way around the game and they are not just blindly crashing it up with their physicality. There is a lot to think about for England.

    South Africa's heavy artillery is rolling into range.

    Big carries from Damian de Allende and Steve Kitshoff as they creep up towards the 22m.

    A canny kick in behind from Damian Willemse and Jonny May has to carry the ball into touch as it refuses to leave the field of its own accord.

    It’s been an interesting first quarter. England have drawn level and they’ll certainly take that given they’re a man down and all the play has been in their own 22.

  13. Penalty - England 3-3 South Africapublished at 20 mins

    Owen Farrell

    Superb work from Mark Wilson, who clamps down over the top of the tackled Siya Kolisi to secure the turnover.

    Penalty England and Owen Farrell gets the Terminator stare on before splitting the uprights from distance and a slight angle.

    England have only 42% possession and 29% territory, but, crucially, parity on the scoreboard after a quarter of the match.

    De Klerk, unavailable outside the Test window, is here. The television cameras pick him out enjoying hospitality in ex All Black Sean Fitzpatrick's box. Looks fun with Ali Williams also in attendance.

    That was a tremendous riposte by England. It was a mistake by South Africa, but it was a tremendous effort to make ground and make Ben Youngs’ exit.

    England are under stiletto-heel pressure here.

    Another Springbok line-out from just five out and referee Angus Gardner warns them that someone will follow Maro Itoje to the bin if they infringe here...

    Overthrown!

    Malcolm Marx's dart fizzes through the mitts of Pieter Steph du Toit and is gobbled up by Tom Curry at the back of the line-out.

    Cheers all round from the England fans as the hosts clear. More relief than jubilation though as they keep the scoreline slim.

    It was good England defence initially. That was a tremendous tackle by Maro Itoje. There's nothing wrong with the tackle, but then he doesn't move. Although Itoje is the golden boy of English rugby, his contribution so far has been three penalties and a sin-bin.

    Maro Itoje has not had a good day. He has been ill-disciplined in both halves. We saw a great try saving tackle because he knew he gave the penalty away.

    But then he lies all over the ball and he should have rolled away.

    England 0-3 South Africa

    England slam the brakes on a South Africa rolling maul. Illegally.

    Penalty advantage for the Boks and play to nothing.

    Handre Pollard punts across field and Sibusiso Nkosi claims over his head, astonishingly good take, and is very nearly over.

    Maro Itoje floods offside to stem the South African momentum.

    Cynical and he has 10 minutes to sit down in the sin bin and think about what he has done.

    Ben Youngs over-cooks that clearing box-kick from his own 22m, allowing Aphiwe Dyantyi to gather under little pressure.

    Fortunately Youngs' counterpart Ivan van Zyl's attempt is also too long and low. Mark Wilson gathers it and Elliot Daly wallops a trademark rifle-crack touchfinder back into the Bok half.

    Plenty of shadow boxing, no-one throwing serious leather just yet.
