  1. England 23-19 Wales

    Wales have been pushed back and are now on their 22.

    Swing Low, Sweet Chariot is only getting louder and louder at Twickenham.

    Liam Williams somehow manages to avoid going into touch but it looks like the ball has been lost... or was it a deliberate knock-on? Could be time for one more bit of drama.

    Matt Dawson
    Former England scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Wales will be livid with themselves, overall England are good for the win but as a player you would say 'we have chucked it away'. It has not been convincing from England.

  3. England 23-19 Wales

    Wales are still deep into their own half and are desperately trying to make something happen but can't find a way through yet.

  4. England 23-19 Wales

    Can Wales do this...?

    It would be huge.

    There is more left in this game, wow! England players switched off.

    Try - England 23-19 Wales

    Kieran Hardy (Con Biggar)

    Quick penalty!

    Replacement scrum-half Kieran Hardy takes it quickly and steps in between Joe Marler and Nick Isiekwe to cross the line.

    Dan Biggar takes a quick conversion, leaving time for one more restart.

  7. England 23-12 Wales

    Wales keep hold of the line-out but their maul is pushed backwards.

    They get the ball out safely and recycle quickly, still around 10m from the tryline.

  8. England 23-12 Wales

    Wales kick their penalty to the corner and will hope there is time for one more score before the final whistle.

    Andrew Savill: The negativity of some England "fans" is exhausting. It's a test match, some ebb and flow is allowed. England are beating Wales by >10 points. Chill and try to enjoy it

  10. England 23-12 Wales

    Wales are still stringing phases together. If not a win, they could get themselves a losing bonus point if they finish within seven points of England.

    Joe Marler is penalised just outside his own 22 and everyone gets a bit of a breather.

  11. England 23-12 Wales

    This is essentially a knock-out match, given whoever loses has little hope of claiming the title.

    Having said that, neither side's attack has looked capable of taking on France yet.

  12. England 23-12 Wales

    Nope, England are penalised again.

    You wouldn't describe this as a flowing game... Dan Biggar kicks to touch this time. Wales have four minutes left to turn this around.

  13. England 23-12 Wales

    England win a scrum penalty and claw a few more precious seconds on the clock as Marcus Smith sends a length kick to touch just outside Wales' 22.

    Freddie Steward has been colossal, everything Wales have put up he has dealt with with ease.

  15. England 23-12 Wales

    Turning over an 11-point deficit is a big ask for Wales at this stage but it has been done before...

    The visitors are hovering around the halfway line, trying to find a way through an England defence that has been pretty sturdy all day.

  16. England 23-12 Wales

    Richie Rees
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    Wales have to roll the dice now with only nine minutes left. They are running out of time.

    Joe Baker: Re Matt Baird 18.19 - have you watched rugby before? Ben Youngs is perfect for this situation. We've lost all momentum and need a calm, experienced head to settle us. The Ben Youngs bashing is popular right now but so so boring

  18. Replacement

    England 23-12 Wales

    Joe Marler comes on for Ellis Genge and Gareth Anscombe replaces Liam Williams.

  19. Penalty - England 23-12 Wales

    Marcus Smith

    Straight through the posts again. That takes Marcus Smith's total haul today to 18 points.

    He's scored 45 points in the tournament so far - more than any other player.

  20. England 20-12 Wales

    England are once again penalised as Adam Beard illegally disrupts Nick Isiekwe's line-out catch. Marcus Smith will go for the posts again.
