    England are tapping and going now.

    Anthony Watson with a dart down to the Bok 22m, but he spills the pill in contact and England's pressure seeps away.

    Jonathan Joseph is thrown into the fray in place of Jonny May. Tuilagi at 12, Joseph at 13, Slade at full-back and Daly on the wing.

    You should have seen the bench when they scored that try. They know that they just have to control this game and put all the pressure on England. Expect them to kick even more.

    Anthony: Forward passes obviously are fine now!

    Field: Second pass in the sequence was clearly forward

    STONEY: That’s clearly a forward pass. So clearly. Disgraceful decision.

    Try stands - England 12-25 South Africapublished at 66 mins

    Makazole Mapimpi (con Pollard)

    You have to say that try is a class above anything that England's backline have brought to the party.

    Quick hands down the narrow side, a cute kick ahead by Makazole Mapimpi, a smart gather by Lukhanyo Am and the centre flips the ball over his shoulder and back into the wing's hands for a superb score.

    Handre Pollard with the extras. England with the Everest to climb.

    Makazole Mapimpi is over! Are England's hopes of winning the World Cup?

    A lot will depend on the video officials review of two possible forward passes in the build-up....

    South Africa are peppering Elliot Daly with high balls and the tactic is working. Makazole Mapimpi claims that one above the England full-back.

    Siya Koilsi is replaced by Francois Louw of Bath, a real breakdown nuisance, for South Africa.

    Not nearly enough juice.

    Handre Pollard's penalty falls short and Henry Slade claims the ball cleans and clears upfield.

    A flag is up on the touchline.

    The touchjudge Romain Poite has spotted Anthony Watson's cynical little shoulder barge to block off Makazole Mapimpi's chasing line.

    Handre Pollard is going to take on a kick of Paul Thorburn proportions from inside his own half...

    Twenty minutes to go, and more fresh legs for England.

    Luke Cowan-Dickie and Mark Wilson are on, for Jamie George and Sam Underhill.

    Manu Tuilagi with a mighty hit straight off the restart!

    Duane Vermuelen is knocked into reverse and England scrap hard enough on the floor to win the penalty.

    This is within range for Owen Farrell...

    Off the top of the line-out, give to Damian de Allende, he gets them on the front foot and then seven South Africa forwards just stood to the left of the ruck. The oldest of old-school. Just set up a maul and England attempted to stop it by any means, but they've given away a penalty.

    South Africa have come out and played a magnificent tactic. It's theirs for the taking. Only silly little errors will let England back into the game.
