    England 6-11 Scotland

    England are up on the Scotland 10m line, but they haven't managed to locate the rapier yet. It is all bludgeon and bluster rather than cunning and running.

    Ben Earl into the England back row in place of Billy Vunipola, who usually goes the distance.

    David Cherry is on for George Turner at hooker for Scotland. Turner has been excellent. I think he had hit every single one of his lineouts.

  3. Replacementpublished at 65 mins

    England 6-11 Scotland

    England have sneaked on Harry Williams at some point as well in the front row.

    Richie Gray is on in place of James Ritchie as well.

    Into the final 15 minutes.

    This is painful viewing from an English perspective!

    Owen Farrell hasn't been on song today because he has been watching Finn Russell absolutely rule the roost.

    It is on a knife edge, it's only a five-point ball game despite all the possession Scotland have had.

    Scotland have had 71% possession. Unheard-of in this fixture.

    Rory Sutherland is popped through the sun-roof of the scrum and that is a penalty for England.

    Owen Farrell hits touch on Scotland's 22m.

    Now, can England, so untidy so far, create something?

    England 6-11 Scotland

    Earlier in the week, Eddie Jones predicted that Scotland would feel the weight of those 38 years if they were still in the hunt in the closing stages.

    We are about to find out if he was right.

    Into the last quarter. The Scots are five points clear and 20 minutes away from a first away win over England since 1983.

    England 6-11 Scotland

    George Turner picks out his jumper, the Scotland pack get the engine fired on the rolling maul, but they have the wrong man in the driving seat.

    Scrum-half Ali Price is the man with the ball in his mitts and he is man-handled by Maro Itoje and Jonny Hill. Off the floor and ball turned over to England.

    Scotland could rue these little errors in the red zone.

    England 6-11 Scotland

    Dan Robson is over-eager as he chases his own kick. Offside. Another (!) Scotland penalty.

    And Owen Farrell is warned that the next time it will be a yellow card by referee Andrew Brace.

    Finn Russell kicks into the corner...this could be a major moment in the match.

    Eddie Jones shuffles his team up.

    Off the bench come Luke Cowan-Dickie and Dan Robson in place of Jamie George and Ben Youngs.

    Stuart Hogg lets rip with a bazooka kick from deep and spirals it all the down to the England corner flag.

    That is a monster boot. The Scotland captain is putting in one heck of a performance.

    England have not played badly, they have been ill-disciplined, but Scotland have outplayed them.

    England 6-11 Scotland

    Maro Itoje is pinged for pulling on a Scotland catcher's arm in the line-out. Red handed.

    Finn Russell lines up the penalty shot. And misses. That should have been three points and a eight-point lead.

    England 6-11 Scotland

    Scotland's backline are in the mood. Sean Maitland now gets motoring from deep.

    England's bits-and-pieces chase is helping make the visiting runners look good.

    Courtney Lawes is on for Mark Wilson in England's first change...

    It's a great game, with some great kicking. I'm still encouraged, but the only worry is the amount of possession Scotland have had in the England 22 but not taken their chances.

    Stuart Hogg! That was top-shelf naughtiness from the Scotland captain.

    The full back steps the chasing Elliot Daly, leaves Jonny Hill in the dust, swerves round Ben Youngs and is finally pulled to ground on halfway.

    No-one like him in the northern hemisphere ball in hand sometimes.

    Finn Russell

    Over it goes. Scotland are back out to five points clear. And they are back up to a full 15.

    A really good start to the second half for the visitors.

    Does a first Twickenham win in 38 years beckon?
