'Relentless' is one of the buzz words in Simon Middleton's England camp. The Red Rose boss will be delighted.

England's scrum has been excellent today, crumbling the Italians again in the set-piece.

England aren't done yet and still fancy more tries. Italy want the clock to fast forward 10 minutes.

That missed conversion has ruined my half-time prediction. Dang.

That was easy for Jess Breach in the corner. She has one of the most remarkable scoring records - that was her 23rd try in 14 appearances, with six of them coming on her debut. What a platform to build on.

Make that 16. Another offence in the scrum from the Italians sees the ref issue a ticking off. She could have gone for a yellow.

An eerie mist is descending over the Parma sky now...

England hammer on the door down the right as they play freely, but are unable to find a gap. The ball is brought back for that earlier infringement, which was Italy's 15th offence of a chastening evening.

Alex Matthews looks to make an impression, picking the ball up from the back of the scrum and gallops forward.

Somewhere in the mix, Italy give away another penalty. England continue...

Riley and Rowland are the new half-back pairing for England, given the chance to pull the strings in the final quarter of the match.

That is Sarah Bern's last involvement, which wipes that omnipresent smile from her face for the first time today.

England decide to make a few changes as Harriet Millar-Mills, Leanne Riley and Helena Rowland are given the chance to show what they can do.

Sarah Bern deserved that try because has been close to scoring before, she's done at least 11 carries and has made some good metres. She got support from her mates pushing her over and third time lucky she gets her try.

England win the line-out of the left and spread the play quickly. Italy scramble across and eventually win possession, but the England defence smothers them again in their 22. And the hosts concede a penalty. Suffocating.

A break in play sees England make a couple of changes. Not good news for the Italians though, if they think the visitors are going to ease off.

The experienced Amy Cokayne comes into the front row, with Alex Matthews back on too.

Those Italian bodies are going to be aching tomorrow. It's like they are running against a white wall. The home side, who have just replaced full-back and captain Manuela Furlan, have the ball but there is little route out of Trouble Town.

England try to make ground down the left but a kick goes into touch. That gives us chance to see prop Sarah Bern, who is again grinning from ear to ear. She's enjoying herself! And here's why: she has made 10 carries, made 54 metres and completed nine tackles.

Sensational figs.

Italy kick clear but the white shirts keep coming back like a boomerang. England run it back, win a turnover when the Italian forwards think they've got possession, go again before the home side finally get a breather.

Thankfully, it is nothing too serious for Vickii Cornborough. Back at it. England's pack drive forward again, the Italians doing well to negate them and force an error, Italian scrum in their 22.

Respite for the Italians, but not for the reason any of us want to see. England prop Vickii Cornborough gets a whack in the tackle and needs a moment to recover.

I feel tired just watching the defending the Italians are having to do. More here as England quickly go through the phases...
