    Another wonderful try. But again for Italy, if you clear your lines straight to Stuart Hogg you're going to have to do something special because he's so talented. Another sleight of hand there from Finn Russell too.

    Converted Try - Scotland 33-3 Italypublished at 62 mins

    Chris Harris

    That was all down to Stuart Hogg. The full-back zipped between two static Italian defenders and surged through before passing to his right. Ben Toolis was tackled well by Jayden Hayward, but quick recycling sees Finn Russell and Josh Strauss combine to put replacement Chris Harris over for his first Test try, on the occasion of his seventh cap.

    Russell, taking over the kicking duties from the departed Greig Laidlaw, adds the conversion.

    Scotland 26-3 Italy

    Right, an hour gone. victory seemingly in the bag for Scotland.

    Will they go on to really put the Italians to the sword, swelling their points difference into the bargain? Or can the Azzurri find some inspiration from somewhere?

    That's Blair Kinghorn's hat-trick try and it's the best of the three. What a build-up from Scotland.

    The dummy, the step inside and the break of the tackle - it's a brilliant piece of play by Kinghorn.

    Converted Try - Scotland 26-3 Italypublished at 54 mins

    Blair Kinghorn

    Scotland making headway into the Italian half... eight, nine, 10 phases, before Jamie Ritchie hits a great angle to burst through.

    Greig Laidlaw shifts it on to Blair Kinghorn, who steps off his left foot and beats the remaining cover.

    That's his hat-trick, and his sixth try in only his eight Test.

    It also brings up a bonus point for Scotand.

    Laidlaw adds the extras and there's now clear daylight between the sides.

    Stuart Hogg

    Suddenly Tommy Seymour is slicing through the Italy defence, onto Greig Laidlaw's pass.

    And there's a delicate kick through from Finn Russell, and Stuart Hogg is chasing after it. He only got a finger-tip to it, but it's given, and that's his 19th try for his country.

    Laidlaw adds the conversion, and Scotland are one try away from a bonus point.

    What's wrong with that? He's just driving into a ruck. I'm not sure why that's dangerous. It's just a clearout

    Scotland hooker Stuart McInally may be in trouble here, for a potentially dangerous clear-out at the ruck.

    In the end referee Luke Pearce settles for a penalty, and Italy clear to touch.
