Result: England 41-18 Italy at Twickenham
Anthony Watson runs in two of England's six tries
Jonny May leaps over tackler to score acrobatic try - his 32nd for England
Jonny Hill, Jack Willis and Elliot Daly also touch down
Monty Ioane scores third-minute try for visitors
England lost to Scotland last week; Italy were thrashed by France
Italy have lost their last 29 Six Nations matches
Jonny Hill
Exeter Chiefs range and one of their second-row totems comes up with the score.
A bit of an assist from the rookie referee Mike Adamson though for me.
Looked like Jonny Hill had his knees on the floor as he propelled himself forward with a second movement to get the ball down on tthe line.
No extras as Owen Farrell takes too much time and too little distance on his tee placement and the Italian charge gets up in his grill.
England 3-5 Italy

A delightful grubber from Henry Slade, a deft touch that caused mayhem in the Italian 22 - but it had to go wide, and Maro Itoje had white line fever.
England 3-5 Italy
England earn a penalty as an Italian arm goes high in the tackle.
A tap and go from five out.
England with a perfect platform, central and within a metre...
England 3-5 Italy
This is better from England. Maro Itoje with a fearsome rumble. George Ford stopped two metres short. Numbers out wide...
Owen Farrell

Matthew Harris: Is the crowd really THAT IMPORTANT to England that we literally cannot play without them? This is screaming madness
Forza Italia!

England 0-5 Italy
Worth saying that 20 years ago, Italy also scored first against England. They ended up losing 80-23.

There was no overlap, it was down to speed of hand, and a really flat pass from Stephen Varney - the timing and quality if the passing, all to easy for Italy.

Farrell wants something on the TMO but that looked awesome from Italy. They looked really well organised, England at sixes and sevens. England look off the pace.

Oh, that is lovely from Italy. And a horror show from England.
Italy are playing with purpose and pace. Number eight Michele Lamaro pops the ball off the floor, Stephen Varney zips a pass out to Paolo Garbisi who attacks blind, and exploits a man overlap as Monty Ioane, nephew of Wallaby Digby, scampers into the corner.
No extras from the boot. Eddie Jones glowers on from on high.

England conceded a rash of early penalties last weekend and the first goes against them after a little over a minute.
Paolo Garbisi takes the ball to the line, running into the maw of Courtney Lawes and the England flanker is judged to have deliberately knocked on as he swings his arms into the tackle...
England 0-0 Italy

The performance has to be significantly better. If England are at 70-80% today, they are going to win by a bundle.
England 0-0 Italy
Right, time to get this show on the road.
Ref Mike Adamson, making his Six Nations debut, blows his whistle and Paolo Garbisi drops out.
Maro Itoje claims, after an unsightly juggle...

The Italian national tune is all fruity brass, roller-coaster vocals. England's short, sombre and a bit of a drone.
Kick-off incoming...

England coach Eddie Jones speaking to ITV Sport: With young players you are always trying to develop the and find the right time to put them in, and sometimes you take them out.
It’s always about playing at our best and we want to try to find what’s in them.

Franco Smith's accent is amazing.
The Italy coach, a native South African, has spent nearly a decade in the country as a player and a coach. And he has a corking mix of high veld and cafe culture in his vowels.
"They use that as motivation, they are a very proud nation," he tells ITV Sport about some of the criticism and questions directed his way.

Elliot Daly and Jonny May have been making all sorts of scything runs in the warm-up, now to see if they can make things happen once the whistle blows.

The England player who has had no form whatsoever since the World Cup is Farrell yet he is the player who has to be found a place. His kicking out of hand is mediocre, he rarely breaks a tackle, he rarely makes a telling pass. He is surely the 5th or 6th best centre in England at best.
Tim, London
Don't understand the continued selection of Daly at 15, has never proved himself an international 15. His position was always 13 or wing for me. Shades of Tait and Balshaw, international coaches too stubborn and end up wrecking a career long term. Tbf to Tait ended up playing well for Leicester at 15.

Image source, GettyLast weekend's defeat by Scotland was Owen Farrell's first game since beating France in the Autumn Nations Cup two months previously.
Saracens relegation to the Championship, which is yet to start its season amid coronavirus difficulties, means that he, Elliot Daly, Maro Itoje, Mako Vunipola and Jamie George are short of match fitness. Or fresh and hungry. Depends how you look at it.
Farrell isn't making that excuse. Or worried that he took on too much as captain, place-kicker and fly-half string puller in the defeat by Scotland...
"It did not feel like that," he said this week. "The best thing about this team is everybody is a big leader.
"Everybody leads in their own type of way. Not just the senior players. They've done a fantastic job of that this week."
