  1. Penalty to South Africapublished at 57 mins

    England 9-15 South Africa

    South Africa go back to what has worked so well for them.

    A massive hit-up, green jerseys there en masse, and Dan Cole is guilty of being the speedbump that sends the maul crashing to earth on England's 22m.

    This is a gimme for Handre Pollard.

    How quickly it can change. His team-mates will be furious - furious! - with Handre Pollard. That's not the time to be trying to break out. That's not the option, boom the ball down the field.

    England 9-15 South Africa

    Owen Farrell's kick from distance and a bit of an angle, floats just wide of the right-hand upright.

    He grimaces and jogs back to halfway.

    England 9-15 South Africa

    Suddenly England voices are the only thing you can hear in Yokohama Stadium.

    Anthony Watson taps tackles a counter-attacking Handre Pollard, Tom Curry limpets over the top and Jerome Garces has seen enough to award the penalty England's way.

    Swing Low ringing out, Curry enveloped in bear hugs from his team-mates.

    Farrell points for the poles...

    A lot of good energy here from the England bench. You could see how much it meant to them when they got that scrum penalty. Huge moments for England and they need more of them to get back into this game.

    Owen Farrell lands the kick to make sure the forwards good work doesn't go to waste.

    Back to within a converted try.

    Biggest cheer of the game so far as England finally dominate a scrum. It's prompted a chorus of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot too.

    Hello. Hello!

    England's forwards finally rediscover their snarl at scrum time.

    South Africa's pack, dominant till now, is splintered to shards and England have the penalty.

    Massive back slaps and bum taps from the backs. Can that be a turning point?

    George Ford was very frustrated, he's been playing off the back foot or with no ball at all. He's kicked one out on the full, a couple of poor restarts. Eddie Jones went with the team from last week and it hasn't worked.

    Eddie Jones shuffles things around with George Ford coming off for Henry Slade, meaning Owen Farrell will slide across to fly-half.

    Joe Marler is immediately in Jerome Garces bad books, guilty of chasing up his feet and not keeping it straight.

    Penalty to South Africa and Handre Pollard clears his lines.

  14. Replacementpublished at 47 mins

    England 6-15 South Africa

    Tom Curry runs into contact and finds himself kept aloft like a puppet on Springbok strings. Pieter Steph du Toit was the stealer in chief there...

    Scrum green on their own 22m. And Joe Marler is on in the front row for it.

    You are drawing on every memory you have of being a team on the retreat. How do you go about it, how do you coerce the referee into thinking it's their fault? How do you stop this huge green machine?

    England have got to start cheating in that scrum. Whatever it takes. Create some penalties. You've got to gamble right now.

    Handre Pollard

    Handre Pollard is swinging as free and easy as John Daly. He tees it up, lets it rip and South Africa are more than a converted score ahead.

    And a converted score seems like a mirage at the moment...

    South Africa's fresh front row carry off where the starters left off.

    The Springboks send the England pack into reverse to gain another scrum penalty.

    Jerome Garces is going to get an RSI in that scrum penalty arm...

    Change of props for the Springboks - Tendai Mtawarira and Frans Malherbe make way, on come another couple of bruisers in Steven Kitshoff and Vincent Koch.

    Can South Africa maintain this? It looks like they're going to bring on the rest of their front row. England will start getting frustrated but they can't let it get to them too much. If they keep playing it loose, it will play right into the hands of South Africa. They've got to be patient.

    England 6-12 South Africa

    George Ford is flattened by Pieter Steph du Toit but he is back up and running and England are retaining the ball well...

    Sam Underhill through half a gap. South Africa scrabble back and reset their defence. Shadow boxing at the start of the second half.

    Eventually Jamie George's offload, aimed at Anthony Watson, drifts into touch...
