The scrum goes down and it is England who win the penalty.

Henry Slade absolutely nails it to the corner, lovely effort.

James O'Connor shows Owen Farrell he can keep up the pace, too and the lead is cut back to four.

Now, let's have another try because that was fun.

It is all about the penalties this evening.

This time, it is England who concede in front of the posts.

Manu Tuilagi's aerial skills are tested for the first time and... he fails.

That will give Australia a good hint for the rest of the game.

The Wallabies have made good ground with that and have a line-out just outside England's 22.

Owen Farrell does those in his sleep. In front of the posts, straight through the middle.

The Twickenham crowd is loving this rapid England attack as Manu Tuilagi crashes into defenders down the middle.

Heeeeeve shout the England crowd as the hosts form a maul from about 7m out.

The wisdom of pairing Marcus Smith (3 previous Test caps) with Owen Farrell (99 previous Test caps) showed with that first try.

Farrell stepped into first receiver, allowing Marcus Smith space to slip in behind and pop Freddie Steward into a hole.

England have hidden Smith out wide on defence.

All very canny.

Ben Youngs sends a kick up and Jonny May makes his way into midfield to chase it. But Australia's Rob Leota is penalised for obstruction and instead England can kick to the corner.

An excellent first 10 minutes, here's hoping we get 70 more like this.

Time for out first scrum.

There's lots to look at here. Particularly, England loose-head Bevan Rodd against Australia's James Slipper, who has had to switch sides of the front row because of injuries.

Eddie Jones compared Freddie Steward to a Premier League goalkeeper a couple of weeks ago and he lives up to that name with an excellent take in the air.

It sets up the platform for an English attack and they are swiftly up inside Australia's half.
