    It was just a little bit headless from Slade. He wants to make the impact, he's just come on the field, but he's isolated himself there unnecessarily. He could have jogged that and waited for the support. All England need to do is go through the phases.

    Henry Slade grubbers for Elliot Daly to chase. Richie Mounga gets back just in time.

    And Ardie Savea turns up at the breakdown party to secure New Zealand a much-needed penalty.

    England are constantly squeezing New Zealand, forcing them to play out over and over again. They're controlling the tempo. There are incremental improvements every time England force New Zealand to clear their lines under pressure.

    Creak. Squeak.

    England are turning the screw with percentage rugby.

    Ben Youngs chips into a pocket of backfield space and Jordie Barrett chops out his kick for a net England gain.

    Swing Low rings around.

    A massive bit of boot leather from George Ford pins back the All Blacks.

    Very canny.

    That all stemmed from another turnover from New Zealand - a dreadful pass to no-one across their own 22. Tom Curry got in and won the ball again, magnificent technique. England are pulling New Zealand this way and that.

    Without a shadow of a doubt, the All Blacks have to score next. If England go to 16 or 20, it's game done.

    George Ford

    A few whoops and whistles from the Kiwis in the stands as George Ford lines it up.

    They don't penetrate the bubble though.

    Over it goes.

    England 10-0 New Zealand

    Penalty advantage for England as Sam Cane puts his shoulder into Billy Vunipola when the England number eight didn't have the ball. More anticipation than pre-determined maliciousness.

    England cannot conjure an opening.

    George Ford will take the points from bang in front...

    TMOs ruining rugby. Such a tight call. Nonsense.

    Capt. Richie, Bristol

    Are TMO and VAR suddenly competing for most incompetent review system? George never let go - try all day long.

    England 10-0 New Zealand

    Tom Curry is having a mighty game. The flanker steals more ball as he turns it over on the New Zealand 22m.

    Can England get that elusive second try?

    They are knocking on the door...

    That has not gone down well.

    England fans felt they might be able to relax a bit after an extremely tense start to the second half, but not yet.

    You felt that was the game right there and then - that would have been a 17 point lead and no way back from the All Blacks. But it was a good spot, it did go forward.

    Another try chalked off for England!

    Agony for Owen Farrell as Nigel Owens patiently explains that the ball was bobbled forward at the back of the maul.

    Did it though?

    There were several pairs of hands on the ball and Jamie George's never seemed to leave it.

    England will wear out the tape on that one if they don't win this...

    Ben Youngs is over! Can we start to believe?

    But Nigel Owens is not content yet. Is there a knock-on at the back of the rolling maul before Youngs grabbed it and darted over?

    Where to start?

    England up to New Zealand's 22m. Sevu Reece nicks an interception! And Ben Youngs nicks it right back as the New Zealand wing attempt to offload.

    Grubber kick from Youngs and England have the penalty five out as New Zealand infringe...
