    Flaws all over the pristine Twickenham turf, the Wallaby breakdown creaking without the talismanic Pocock, England's attack imprecise and far too flustered against a side so lacking in confidence. The crowd responding in suitable fashion by putting singing aside in favour of conversation.

    Nope, like one of my tee shots that.

    Elliot Daly gets right underneath the ball and it flies high, but short.

    So far Australia haven't broke through and made anything.

    England's defence has been very much in their comfort zone with no pressure whatsoever.

    Even the scrum that looked good in the Rugby Championship against the All Blacks but it's been nothing at all like that today.

    England scrum is taking their Australian counterparts to the cleaners.

    The green and gold pack crumples like a car bonnet and Elliot Daly is going to take on the long-range boot at goal from out near halfway.

    Open up the Elliot Daly highlight reel. We have a new entry to edit in.

    The England full-back comes sprinting up from deep, launches into an Indiana Jones-style slide and takes an Aussie kick cleanly with his chin six inches off the turf.

    Bien joue Daly, bien joue.

    Just those tiny little errors from England, that lose them momentum, possesion and territory.

    It's not the conditions, they look like they're over eager, they're thinking they're through the gap before it's even occurred.

    England have a hint of an overlap with Elliot Daly and Joe Cokanasiga lurking on the outside of Henry Slade off fast second-phase ball following Ben Te'o's crash through the middle.

    The Exeter man takes his eye off the ball though and spills forward. He shakes his head ruefully...

    Australia are a mess at the breakdown, they're not supporting the ball carrier at all.

    How many turnovers is that now? Shields again has been able to rip the ball away for England, it's all too easy.

    England 10-3 Australia

    The story of Australia's season so far.

    They look dangerous when they get the ball to the edges of the opposition defence, but after young wing Jack Maddocks makes a break, there is not enough accuracy in the offload or quantity of support.

    England turnover and turn the screw.

    Penalty to England and Owen Farrell hoofs into the Aussie half.

    England have looked bright so far.

    The key thing for England at this restart is to not give another penalty away and to build on the pressure they've just created.

    Rae: More than anything today I am hoping for a disciplined performance by England, keep the penalty count down please.

    Two apiece so far.

    I still can't see the pattern of dominance that England are going to walk in a try after 10 phases.

    It's all good trying to play the 'two passes and see what happens' style after a turnover but there is still no clear style of play.

    England's dead-eyed crackshot lands his kick to plump up the cushion to seven points.

    But Australia infringe again.

    Sekope Kepu ploughs into the side of a ruck and Jaco Peyper peeps his pipe for a penalty.

    Farrell to make amends?

    England are playing at a pace that is ruffling the Aussie feathers.

    Elliot Daly chips in behind the green and gold wall, Ben Te'o and Henry Slade chase like bloodhounds, snaring Israel Folau and forcing the penalty.

    Owen Farrell calls for the tee, should be routine...

    Re: 14:36 bizarrely enough I was also at the Clarendon Arms in Cambridge that glorious morning in 2003. Wasn't the one shouting "hit 'im" though!

    Classic encounters... watched the 2003 final in a mate's flat in Manhattan, straight after a night out with uni housemates and an Aussie, who left very swiftly at the final whistle saying he'd seen the World Cup trophy presentation before.

    Australia bump into the door frame again as they attempt to exit their 22m. This time the connection between Will Genia and Matt Toomua is fuzzy and the pass goes astray.

    England asking questions as Kyle Sinckler fires up the fun bus and thunders onto a delayed pass from Owen Farrell.

    Itoje had no need to give that penalty away there, would All Black Brodie Retallick be doing that?

    You've just scored seven points in the first three minutes, just defend. are Australia going to run through England? Absolutely not.
