From an England perspective, they will be happy they can go into the dressing room ahead.

They will not necessarily get a telling off from Eddie Jones but there will be a harsh message: Wales are up for this.

The Welsh scrum is better in the sense that Wales haven't conceded a penalty straight away and kept possession.

But a couple of phases later they do concede a penalty as England flanker Tom Curry gets over the ball and jackals like a menace.

That is the final play of the first half.

Wales have a scrum inside the English 22.

Will they fare better from an attacking set-piece?

England captain Owen Farrell has another shot just to the right of the posts and it sails over. No problem.

We're into the final minute of the first half now.

Uh oh. Yet another scrum penalty conceded by Wales.

Referee Romaine Poite is warning Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones that the next offence could land one of his front-rowers in the sin-bin.

Wales tight-head prop Samson Lee is the one penalised but replays are, shall we say, inconclusive.

Big, important tackle by Wyn Jones, flying out to meet Kyle Sinckler and force him into a knock-on.

Whatever the flaws in Wales' game, this is an enormous improvement compared to their recent displays.

The Welsh scrum holds steady this time and England - you guessed it - kick possession.

It's a decent nudge by Henry Slade, forcing Wales into a line-out near their own 22 - and they butcher it, losing the ball again.

Another promising position for England now.

England's kicking is a bit loose and I think that's all down to the pressure Wales are putting on.

They have got to keep doing that because it is forcing errors from this England team.

Taulupe Faletau, who's had a quiet autumn by his standards, is having a more prominent game today and the Wales number eight rises well to claim an English clearance.

However, his good work is undone by poor Welsh handling.

Hooker Ryan Elias knocks on and England will have another scrum.

A chance for a breather at least.

What a shot by Elliot Daly, very committed.

Wales wing Josh Adams catches a cross-field kick from Dan Biggar and cops a big hit from Elliot Daly.

Adams asks the officials if it was a legal tackle - he certainly seemed to take a forceful hit above his neck - but he gets nothing.

From the line-out, England get their maul going and Wales concede a penalty for bringing it to a halt illegally.

That's more like it from Owen Farrell, who puts England in front for the first time with a penalty.

This match is being played at a seriously high intensity.

England's defence is immense, Wales are just about hanging on in there. It is brutally physical.

England get a penalty as Wales flanker Shane Lewis-Hughes is penalised for not releasing after making a tackle.

Wales are having to really battle just to hold on to possession, however slow the ball may be.

England force them into kicking clear again and here comes another wave of white shirts into the Welsh half.

England are niggly because Wales are under their skin. They are irritating England.

One of the senior players has said, "This is a proper Test match. Pull your finger out. Don't wait for half-time."

England are starting to take control, but they're foiled by Leigh Halfpenny again.

Ben Youngs kicks into the Welsh 22, where Halfpenny gathers, sells Jonny May a dummy and kicks safely into touch.

Important turnover for Wales.

England have an overlap out wide to the right and Sam Underhill slips in George Ford, who breaks through the Welsh defensive line.

This looks like a promising position for the visitors but Leigh Halfpenny does well to pounce on the ball and force a penalty for Wales.

Scrums look to be a problem for Wales today.

Head coach Wayne Pivac hauled loose-head Rhys Carre off before half-time in Dublin.

What will he do if issues persist for Wyn Jones and Samson Lee?

A reprieve for Wales on this occasion as Billy Vunipola knocks on, allowing Wales to clear.

Wales are having a little spell of possession but it comes to nothing against an England defence which is every bit as fierce as it was against Ireland last weekend.

Wales scrum-half Lloyd Williams hesitates at the base of a ruck, England's Billy Vunipola pounces and forces a scrum for the visitors on the Welsh 10-metre line.

Wales are trying to put a few kicks on the England back three.

They are probably not getting the rub of the green at the moment but you can definitely see their tactics.
