This first half has been phenomenal. Fiji's defence have been putting in some massive hits to take the momentum out of England's attack.
Fiji 7-17 England
Fiji have managed to score while being a player down, they are playing so well!
England are hitting back here and it looked like Sarah Hunter was over but she knocks on! It's a Fiji scrum just five metres from the try line but they get it away.

What a try that was! It started deep in Fiji's half from a poor kick and chase by England and Nakoci has taken the space, picked a gap and accelerated clear of the defenders.
Alowesi Nakoci (con, Lavena Cavuru)
So what can England do with a player advantage? Well the start of the sin-bin sees another fizzle of Fiji attack but Sesenieli Donu is shoved into touch.
But Fiji get it once more and Alowesi Nakoci is over! Wow, what a bit of skill.

Fiji are playing the more attractive rugby and have started well but England are more clinical. Yes, we want to see a beautiful game but England are taking the points.
England will start to build from here and we should see the England team we've seen previously.
Fiji are a big team and will start to tire.
Abbie Ward (con, Emily Scarratt)
Fiji have hands on the floor in the ruck and the referee Aurélie Groizeleau has a word with Sereima Leweniqila to stop the penalty count.
Zoe Harrison kicks to the corner, will the driving maul have more success? Not this time as England are forced to go through the phases and Abbie Ward is over! Leweniqila is yellow carded for another penalty.
Fiji 0-10 England
England are running through the phases after winning their scrum ball. And just as we headed to double figures in the phases England are pinged for holding on and Fiji are away!
They run England back to their own 22 but Emily Scarratt regathers the ball Fiji are challenging England more than anyone else in recent history from my perspective!
Fiji 0-10 England
Abbie Ward almost steals the line-out but she is pinged for leaping across the line and Fiji clear their lines.
The latest Fiji line-out goes too long and Leanne Infante is so close to pouncing on the bouncing ball. Penalties exchange hands and we have an England scrum.

That's a very standard England try that we've come to know them for. They were in control of that move all the time.
Amy Cokayne
England strike trough the driving maul with Amy Cokayne reaping the rewards!
And again Emily Scarratt can't convert, it is a bit windy at Eden Park but the vice-captain will be slightly disappointed with that.
Fiji 0-5 England
The handling hasn't been slick from either side but you could imagine Simon Middleton is becoming a bit frustrated as Lydia Thompson spills in a good position.
They quickly recover possession and are targeting try number two. Zoe Aldcroft was almost over but this time it is Fiji who put in a great defensive spell. We come back for an earlier advantage, England kick to corner! Anyone else breathless from this start?
Fiji 0-5 England
Fiji edge closer and closer and they think they are over though Vika Matarugu but England's defence does so well to hold her up.
England then win a scrum penalty and Zoe Harrison clears.

England look a little bit rattled. There are a few uncharacteristic errors but I am sure they will settle into it.
Fiji 0-5 England
Back-to-back scrums sees Fiji with possession and England are left scrambling as they come forward.
Alowesi Nakoci almost gets away of Ellie Kildunne and they win a penalty! Fiji come again ...
Fiji 0-5 England
Sadia Kabeya knocks on from the kick-off and we have a scrum! Fiji come away with it through Karalaini Naisewa and they are running the ball through the hands. this is looking promising from Fiji but Alowesi Nakoci is chucked out of play.
It is clear to see England's tactic here as they kick away once again through Emily Scarratt. Fiji go through the phases once more but this time Vika Matarugu spills the ball.
All action so far!
Claudia MacDonald
England get the advantage in build-up attack and they continue to hammer the line, a crossfield kick is popped in but Lydia Thompson can't collect and so we are back for the advantage.
Zoe Harrison kicks to the corner and the the line-out is successful. The driving maul is in action, the ball is popped out the back at the winger pounces! A poor kick from Emily Scarratt sees her fail to add the extras.
Fiji 0-0 England
Karalaini Naisewa makes an incredible early break but sadly her hard work isn't rewarded as there's a knock on. Harrison clears the Red Roses lines and the kicking game then comes into play.
It ends with Fiji camped in their own 22, they attempt to kick away but England charge it down. The Red Roses can't capitalise this time but it feels England are just going through the gears.
Fiji 0-0 England
There were some emotional faces for both anthems but now we get down to business.
England get us underway through Zoe Harrison...
Fiji v England ()4.45 BST)
Fiji and England have walked past the trophy out at Eden Park to kick off their World Cup campaigns.
The anthems are taking place ahead of kick-off in under five minutes time! Excited yet? I am!

Rugby union commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live
The build-up to this tournament, I had worries about the time zone and ticket sales.
I was worried about the level of competition and the standards within it.
Now, a lot of that has been ironed out. I do genuinely believe now this could be the best World Cup ever.
