    Maro Itoje is having one.

    The England second row pinches another line-out getting between Kieran Read and his dinner on an All Black throw.

    Ford found himself with no real options. He had no support and Mo'unga constructed something off his kick. There's just an indication of how dangerous they can be at any moment.

  3. Here come the All Blacks!published at 28 mins

    England 7-0 New Zealand

    Brodie Retallick thunders through the heart of the England defence!

    Out to Jack Goodhue. And Beauden Barrett looping on the outside.

    Great tackle from Anthony Watson!

    But England have a knee-trembling line-out 15m from their own line...

    Play back under way and Jonny May takes a superb catch, AFL-style with two hands over his head.

    The people involved in the collision all stopped and said, 'well that's not right'. You can't have a decoy runner get ahead of the game and make contact with the defender. The referee's made the right decision to chalk that off.

    Nigel Owen rules against England and it was, probably, just about right.

    That would have been a massive score. Underhill was under the posts to make the conversion a gimme.

  7. Try reviewpublished at 25 mins

    England 7-0 New Zealand

    Sam Whitelock bit in to try and tackle Tom Curry.

    But would he have got to Kyle Sinckler as he looped round to feed Underhill?

  8. Try reviewpublished at 24 mins

    England 7-0 New Zealand

    Sam Underhill is in!

    But Nigel Owens is going upstairs to check a dummy runner didn't block off a tackler.

    On-field decision is a try.

    Huge moment coming up...

    England have ball-handlers right across the team, doesn't matter what matter what number's on their back. Most of these guys are happy showing dummies and short passes.

    Anthony Watson gets a sniff of space and takes England up to the All Black 22m....

    England World Cup winner on BBC Radio 5 Live

    These teams are not interested in possession. We were bleating on last week about England only having 38% last week, they don't care. Metres gained, that's the statistic they're interested in. You see it there, that's a net 20-metre gain and all of a sudden the pressure is different.

    England 7-0 New Zealand

    England are making metres off first phase ball, changing the point of contact as Billy Vunipola pops to Kyle Sinckler on the burst.

    And then Owen Farrell drills a low skidder into touch in the New Zealand 22m.

    Territorial street smarts.

  14. May wallops Lienert-Brownpublished at 21 mins

    England 7-0 New Zealand

    Jonny May read that All Black play like it was plastered on a 60ft billboard.

    Beauden Barrett's cross-kick is perfectly weighted for Anton Lienert-Brown out wide, but May calmly waits for the centre to land and then crash tackles him into touch.

    England 7-0 New Zealand

    A bit of scrum admin to do as Nigel Owens resets a couple just inside the England half.

    That has come out the back quicker than Ben Youngs expected, but Anthony Watson's smart feet tidy up the mess.

    Aaron Smith could have had four hands and he still wasn't getting that ball away from Maro Itoje.

  17. Oh Maro Itoje!published at 18 mins

    England 7-0 New Zealand

    To the tune of Seven Nation Army: Oh Maro Itoje!

    It was a song that New Zealand heard plenty of on the Lions tour of 17.

    And it gets a blast now as the Saracen lock ties in ball to secure another turnover.

    A massive play. And now the Yokohama Stadium PA throws on the White Stripes to help the England fans along in their song!

    MillsysView: England are their own worst enemy at the moment, the All Blacks look shellshocked after that early try, need to take advantage!

    Courtney Lawes!

    The England second row is up sharp and high to slap down Codie Taylor's throw before Sam Whitelock can get paws on it.

    One against the head for the England line-out crew.

    The first bit of breakdown law and order imposed by Nigel Owens.

    Sam Underhill was off his feet at the breakdown.

    On halfway. What is the All Black call? Richie Mo'unga pumps the kick into the England 22m and his pack prepare to put up one of that quartet of jumpers...
