    England 0-3 Scotland

    A fine kick from Owen Farrell, a raking touchfinder that puts Scotland into their own 22m.

    George Turner's darts have been some of Bully's best so far though and Scotland clear despite Maro Itoje's efforts.

    Finn Russell starting to strut like he is on the Saturday night dancefloor.

    A dinky little chip in behind for Sean Maitland nearly undoes the England defence. But England just about tidy up in time...

    How rusty do England look? If they don't get it together soon, Scotland will have the sort of lead on the board that England have struggled to come back from in recent times.

    Less than a quarter of the match gone and England have just conceded their seventh penalty.

    They are not going anywhere with indiscipline like that. Like trying to drive a Ferrari with the handbrake on.

    There's been a huge improvement in the Scotland scrum in the last 12 months, it's adding to this encouraging start.

    England 0-3 Scotland

    Referee Andrew Brace is not having England so far.

    Ellis Genge is judged to have dropped to his knee at scrum time.

    Penalty kicked into the England 22m.

    And a funky line-out from debutant George Turner! He finds Cameron Redpath in midfield with a Hail Mary!

    England 0-3 Scotland

    Jonny May flaps and fumbles under a tester of a box-kick, knocking on to much frustration.

    Scotland are moving the ball sharply from the base. Ali Price looking to keep the tempo high. But the scrum-half could do with more protection. Maro Itoje, one charge-down already so far, is swarming all around him.

    Really encouraging so far from Scotland, good defence and a good attacking threat so far.

    No real signs of any rustiness which we are used to in these opening games, it tends to be hit and miss - no chance today! England want to attack from all areas, so do Scotland. Conditions are OK, and these two want to chuck it about.

    England 0-3 Scotland

    Jamie Ritchie coughs up the pill as he steams into contact. A promising position for Scotland slips south.

    But the visitors have started very well.

    England are not getting the 30-point head-start that they enjoyed in 2019.

    England 0-3 Scotland

    Bill Vunipola hits the gain line at pace, but Scotland stand strong.

    A bit of adventure from deep from the visitors, Cameron Redpath worms through a hole on his own 22m.

    He offloads to Stuart Hogg. England's defence is having to work back.

    Russell kicks away the ball, but he had a penalty advantage in his back pocket.

    Scotland line-out on the England 22m from the kick to touch...

    Finn Russell

    England's discipline is fraying. A fourth penalty awarded against them and Finn Russell steps up to slap it over from just in front.

    First blood drawn by Scotland.

    Early England stupidity giving away unnecessary penalties! Ridiculous and costly!

    England 0-0 Scotland

    A great take from Scotland scrum-half Ali Price under a high-altitude box kick from opposite number Ben Youngs.

    But suddenly Scotland are in trouble!

    Maro Itoje charges down a clearing kick!

    Can he gather cleanly? He can! But he is dragged to ground and Jonny Hill is off his feet as he comes to clean up on the floor.

    Scotland breathe a sign of relief...

    England 0-0 Scotland

    Owen Farrell drops out long. Matt Fagerson, the Scotland number eight, takes cleanly and swats off the chasing Anthony Watson with a big hand-off.

    Here we go...

    England v Scotland (16:45 GMT)

    Flower of Scotland is supported by a lone piper, all stirring melody and swirling wind as Jonny Gray screws his eyes tight with emotion amid the rain.

    God Save the Queen is backed up by a big-lunged soprano off-stage. Decibels for the home side.

    Andrew Brace is next up. The referee will toot the starting horn any moment...

    England v Scotland (16:45 GMT)

    The two teams stride out into the cavernous silence of an empty Twickenham.

    We start with a moment's applause to mark those who died in these times, including Captain Sir Tom Moore and former England captain John Pullin.

    Then a moment to mark rugby's opposition to racism. Some players take a knee.

    And now the musical preamble...
