    I love the intensity of this England side. They had to step up from the pool games, and that was a tough two weeks without a game. That try after half-time kicked them up the rear.

    I've never heard England fans go so wild over a penalty. But they know it puts their side pretty much out of reach.

    As scripted, England have demolished them in the scrum, gone to the line out and maul, and now rubbing salt into the wounds by going for goal.

    Australia pull down an England rolling maul on their own 22m. Jerome Garces decision is greeted with air punches from England players who know these might be the points that hammer down the lid.

    Owen Farrell is lining up the shot at goal.

    Australia bring on Lukhan Salakaia-Loto in the back row.

    England sub Joe Marler and Luke Cowan-Dickie into the front row.

    England 30-16 Australia

    England didn't see that one coming. Samu Kerevi opts for a chip over the top for Reece Hodge out wide.

    How's the bounce? Just about good enough for England. Elliot Daly can't gather cleanly but concedes only a line-out just outside his own 22m.

    Australia tactics have been decided by the scoreboard.

    They are running from just outside their own 22m.

    Can they conjure something? Marika Koroibete whizzes up to halfway as he is given a sniff of space...

    Australia have been very helpful to England in parts. England have been accurate, disciplined and very sensible.

    England 27-16 Australia

    Ben Youngs darts blind and for the corner, but clearly knocks on as opposite number Nic White gets across to put in a big shoulder.

    Not all is lost for England though.

    They had a penalty advantage pocketed for a side entry into a ruck by an Australian.

    Owen Farrell is going to take on the kick at the posts...

    Staggering defence from England. You cannot win a game with defensive play, but you can certainly lose it. England doing an amazing job of shutting the door. Job not done yet though!
