The teams then exchanged penalties and after 25 minutes the hosts still held the lead with 13-9.

Nic White managed to stop what looked like a certain Jamie George try and the hooker looked as if he may have been injured in the exchange.

After a couple more penalties, England ended the half 16-12 up.

Not a happy end to the half for England.

It was such a fiery start from the hosts, but trailed off towards the end and Jamie George looks particularly unhappy as he hobbles back down the tunnel.

No problems for James O'Connor. Tom Wright comes back onto the field after his sin-bin and Australia have actually come out on top in the time they have been a man down.

England are caught offside and Jaco Peyper brings the penalty up so that it is well within kicking range. A good chance at three points for Australia before the break.

Great scrum from Australia as James Slipper gets the better of debutant Bevan Rodd.

They win the penalty and kick to touch. Time to reduce England's lead before half-time?

The camera cuts to Wallabies coach Dave Rennie and he loved that.

Jamie George is walking gingerly after that jump across the tryline.

But he sends the physio away and says he'll be staying on until half-time.

Nic White gets the chance to clear his lines.

George had nipped round the side of a maul and looked certain to score, but White dives in and punches the ball out of the hoooker's hands.

An incredible effort by the scrum-half, but the Twickenham crowd don't feel in the mood to recognise his skill.

Jamie George!

No! What a stop by Nic White.

England haven't made much headway with their maul so far and they are once again pushed back but get out of their quickly.

Owen Farrell tries to send a grubber kick through for Manu Tuilagi but the new winger can only crash into a yellow wall.

Marcus Smith's pass is a bit behind Maro Itoje and the forward drops the ball.

Thankfully, England were playing advantage for Nic White's high tackle on Tom Curry and Owen Farrell taps the penalty into touch.

Maro Itoje rips the ball out of the hands of Angus Bell and suddenly England are on the counter-attack.

Manu Tuilagi and Freddie Steward give chase on a kick down the right wing...

It comes to nothing, but England are inside Australia's 22 now. With a man advantage too.

Owen Farrell pops the penalty over from in front of the posts. England are a converted try in front now.

The crowd are really hamming this up.

Every big-screen replay of Tom Wright's tackle on Jamie George is getting am-dram oohs and ahhs.

And then a big cheer/jeer for the resulting yellow.

Jaco Peyper says it wasn't a high level of danger because Tom Wright was holding his ground.

It's still a yellow card, though.

All the right outraged sound effects from the Twickenham crowd as the moment of impact is repeated over and over on the big screens.

The officials don't seem keen on a red card.

YES. Life through Jamie George!

The hooker is off through a gap after a great pass from Courtney Lawes. He tries a fancy step but it's not good enough to get round Kurtley Beale.

And it looks like Tom Wright has barged into George's head with his shoulder. The referee will take a look...

They kick back, they kick forth, they are penalised.

James O'Connor is called out for bashing Freddie Steward in the air. Henry Slade will kick to the corner again.

After an exciting start, this match is stuttering a bit. Here's hoping a try is to come.

Big groans around Twickenham as Australia centre Hunter Paisami gets his man, flattening a wrap-arounding Marcus Smith with a big hit.

But Smith bounces back to his feet, sweeps the hair out of his eyes and puts on a brave face.

Must have stung though.

Dave Bookham: Anyone else thinking Tuilagi on the wing is going to work?

Ouch. Marcus Smith is smashed by centre Hunter Paisami.

It is Paisami who stays down longest, but eventually both players are back up. They are both going to feel that one in the morning.
