Those two quick tries have just taken the wind out of France's sails.
The hosts have played some great flowing rugby but they have lacked a clinical edge.
England have shown theirs in five second half minutes.

She does what she does best, which is finishing. It was all about moving it across and getting it away. Breach is such a lovely, balanced runner.

Jess Breach (con Emily Scarratt)
Two in quick succession.
This time it's Jess Breach who flies past a couple of tackles before scoring England's third try.
The winger has had a quiet game so far but she sparks into life with ball in hand.
Emily Scarratt makes no mistake from the tee.

Alex Matthews (con Emily Scarratt)
Alex Matthews gets the final touch but this was all about Helena Rowland.
Former sevens player Rowland catches the kick inside her own half before leaving several blues shirts in her wake.
She gets the offload to Amy Cokayne before Matthews finishes off.
Cracking try by England as Emily Scarratt adds the extras.

England have the scrum on the halfway line, but they concede the penalty.
It's been a bit of a sloppy start to the second half.

Crash. Bang. Wallop.
France roll through the phases close to the England line but the white wall stands firm.
The hosts have thrown the ball around freely this afternoon but the England defence has been brilliant.
