  1. Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Scotland go through 11 phases, Ryan Wilson drives hard, but his attempted offload off the floor is a bit ambitious and Ben Toolis knocks it on.

  2. Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Big carry from Josh Strauss - that's more like it, big fella - and Scotland are hammering away inside the Italy 22...chants of "Scotland, Scotland" around Murrayfield.

  3. Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Stuart Hogg collects an Italian clearance kick and the Scotland full-back is off. A hitch-kick, a sprint past the first defender...but the hosts are a bit slow to get up in support, and Italy win the ball back.

  4. Back under way

    Scotland 12-3 Italy

    The players are back out on the field, fans are making their way back to their seats.

    Stuart Hogg has the ball in his hands, and launches it upfield to start the second half.

  6. Italy have 'got to be more clinical'

    We're still in the game. We've got to be more clinical and get more opportunities in attack. That comes from defence and getting those turnovers.

  7. Scotland's dominance 'will likely tell'

    Colin Gregor
    Former Scotland Sevens captain on BBC Radio Scotland

    Against Italy, the way these games tend to go, the dominance Scotland have will likely take it's toll in the later stages and you hope the bench will have an impact, too

  8. Russell's vision to fore in first Scotland try

    HT: Scotland 12-3 Italy

    John Barclay
    Injured Scotland captain on BBC One

    What separates Finn Russell from a lot of players is his ability to play with things right on top of him. There were players all around him, but he managed to place a pin-point kick for Blair Kinghorn's first try.

  9. HT: Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer at Murrayfield

    When Scotland have been accurate, Italy have had no answer. But they have blown a number of chances and against the best teams you need to take the chances you create. We saw that against Ireland last year

  10. First-half stats

    HT: Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Stats

    That lone line-break came early on when Blair Kinghorn broke through, but failed to capitalize on a two-on-one overlap outside him.

    The left wing has grabbed two tries since, but Scotland should have had at least one more.

    Remember, bonus points might come into play at the end of the championship, so they'll want to score four tries and earn one today.

  11. Half-time - Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Scotland have scored two tries, Blair Kinghorn getting on the end of both of them. But it could, and arguably should, have been more than a nine-point lead.

  12. 'Scotland should be disappointed'

    Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Brian Moore
    Former England hooker on BBC One

    Scotland should be very disappointed with just two tries. But the last 20 is often when games get away from teams and you have to wonder how much energy Italy have used up.

  13. Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Scotland back on the attack, going right, then left, back right again. They're up to the Italian 22 but are pinged for not releasing, Sergio Parisse all over the ball-carrier. Italy have a chance to clear their lines and that be it for the first 40.

  14. Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Italy trying to get something going as we approach half-time. A score now might change the momentum. But it's all a bit slow and Scotland wing Tommy Seymour nails Michele Campagnaro with a cracking tackle, and the hosts win a penalty at the breakdown.

  15. Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Bit of kick-tennis from Stuart Hogg and his Italian counterpart Jayden Hayward. Scotland line-out, about 30m from their own line...

  16. Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Bit of a delay while Scotland prop WP Nel receives some treatment. We'll have an Italy scrum to get us back under way.

  17. Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Italy win the line-out inside their own 22, and Ian McKinley, goggles on, gets his first touch with a clearing kick to touch.

  19. Italy "all over the place" defensively

    Jake Polledri
    Italy international and Gloucester flanker on BBC One

    "Defensively we're all over the place at the moment. We need to man-to-man mark because we're jumping in too much and Scotland are spotting that and taking advantage. Scotland like to play with width and we need to stop them from playing it wide."

  20. Scotland 12-3 Italy

    Blair Kinghorn has been receiving some treatment, but the wing has been strapped up and is back on his feet.

    Scotland on the attack again, Sam Johnson darting through a half-gap. It's been an impressive showing from the debutant so far.

    But Huw Jones is a bit over-ambitious with an offload out of the back of the hand, which eludes the grasp of Josh Strauss and bounces into touch.
