    My goodness some of the tackles here, Maro Itoje has absolutely drilled Retallick. Smashed his way into his midriff and put him down. It's those moments you can feel the lift from the England side.

    More hits than Beyonce from England.

    Manu Tuilagi and Maro Itoje both put in mighty shots to knock back black shirts.

    But New Zealand are still coming...

    Nick Bruzon: This is about as intense as it gets. Stress and excitement in equal measure. Magnificent rugby

    Alan Guest: HOLD YOUR NERVE ENGLAND! Best way to respond is to score, and again!

    England 16-7 New Zealand

    New Zealand have a puzzler to work with here.

    Ardie Savea is down with a knee knock. Sam Cane, the obvious replacement, already came off the bench at the break.

    He is soldiering on. But England would not mind seeing less of him at the breakdown.

    Building a score is crucial. Take the three, the lead's nine and you just take the sting out of that try from Ardie Savea. What on earth was Jordie Barrett doing running into Underhill in his own 22?!

    Paul: ah that was awful from England. pretty much gift wrapped that new Zealand try for them

    Very, very important. It's a soft try, a fortuitous try for the All Blacks. England will not be happy but it doesn't matter, it's on the scoreboard.

    The New Zealand fans have been pretty quiet for a while but the first 'All Blacks' chant of the second half has begun.

    There's no excuses there. It's not gone anywhere near the jumper. Oh my goodness.

    Converted try - England 13-7 New Zealandpublished at 57 mins

    Ardie Savea (con Mounga)

    Agony for England!

    The Saracens connection goes horribly awry as Jamie George misses jumper Maro Itoje at the front.

    The ball floats clean over the top for Ardie Savea to gratefully catch and charge over!

    Richie Mounga adds the extras and the lead is slashed to six.

    Manu Tuilagi has made so many crucial tackles in this match. But there are calls of 'off' from the crowd as Henry Slade's effort is replayed on the big screen.

    No case to answer.

    Slade managed to get enough of a wrap in the impact.

    He could be in trouble here. He's led in with the shoulder. It's low and it's on the way down so there's a mitigating circumstance there... There's no better referee to make the call than Nigel Owens. He's been here before.

    England 13-0 New Zealand

    Sevu Reece with a route to the line! But Manu Tuilagi and Henry Slade get across just in time to make the tackle on the New Zealand wing.

    But Slade is under the TMo microscope. Did he wrap his arm in the tackle or was it a straight shoulder charge?
