    England 37-12 Canada

    After an incredible try-scoring debut, Harlequins wing Heather Cowell heads off her home Twickenham Stoop turf to a huge cheer.

    Scrum-half Leanne Infante comes on, meaning the versatile Claudia MacDonald has probably moved to the wing.

    Alexandra Tessier sends up a clearing kick and Sarah McKenna and Abby Dow wind up to run it right back.

    Canada are well aware of Dow's threat, though, and drag the wing into touch.

    Wow. England's replacement forwards have tipped the scrum in the Red Roses' favour as they drive Canada back on their 22.

    The visitors keep possession though and are trying to run it out.

    The stadium announcer has just proclaimed an attendance of over 6,000.

    Interesting to note that when England have left Twickenham this autumn, admittedly in games against New Zealand, they have had over 9,000 in Northampton and Exeter.

    England's line-out hasn't been too fruitful today. They lose the ball forward and Canada get a 5m scrum as a chant of "England" breaks out in the crowd.

    Alex Matthews builds up a head of steam off the scrum and gets England to within 10m out. The Red Roses win a penalty and Zoe Harrison decides to chill things out by kicking to the corner and giving her team a chance to reset.

    England's bench is almost empty now. Young prop Maud Muir comes on for try-scorer Sarah Bern and she's straight into a scrum.

    With Marlie Packer coming on, she is a foghorn of energy. Some teams go to sleep, they won't with her on there.

    Marlie Packer is straight into the action, barrelling through defenders off a line-out. England are into the 22 yet again and win a penalty after a Canada knock-on.

    There's more.

    Holly Aitchison comes on for centre Lagi Tuima.

    England bring on hooker Lark Davies, prop Vickii Cornborough, flankers Alex Matthews and Marlie Packer and lock Harriet Millar-Mills.

    As if Canada didn't have enough to worry about.

    It is so nice to see Zoe Harrison growing in confidence and becoming an absolute leader, she has really come into her own in this autumn series.

    Zoe Harrison

    No problem for the fly-half from in front of the stick. It looked like a close call in the first half, but England have built a 25-point lead with less than 20 minutes to go.

    A great kick by Helena Rowland puts Sabrina Poulin under some pressure in the backfield.

    England's forwards take the reins from there as they win a penalty on the floor.

    And it looks like the Red Roses are ready to bring the cavalry on too. Zoe Harrison will go for goal.

    Abby Dow has been absolutely everywhere in defence today.

    Canada look to have a numerical advantage on the right as Sabrina Poulin take the ball, but Dow speeds across the field to take the winger down.

    Canada replacement Justine Pelletier strips the ball out of Poppy Cleall's grasp and England get a scrum.

    The visitors are penalised once again and Zoe Harrison finally gets to clear her lines. England look determined to keep Canada out for the rest of this one.

    Canada take it quickly and are 10m out but here comes Hannah Botterman.

    She is all over Canada's attack and manages to grab the ball on the floor. Excellent work.

    Canada keep hold of their line-out in England's 22. A score now seems crucial if they are to have any chance of a win.

    Poppy Cleall is penalised, boosting Canada's chances.

    Really nice play from the maul, the strength and power Claudia MacDonald has just brushes the defenders off.
