  1. Chance pending

    Scotland 36-9 Tonga

    Scotland have a line-out just 5m out, but Tonga are making numerous changes, so we'll have to wait.

  2. Pressure from the hosts

    Scotland 36-9 Tonga

    Scotland won a penalty from the last of those scrums, kicked downfield, and now find themselves deep in Tongan territory again...

  3. A slight lull

    Scotland 36-9 Tonga

    There's been a bit of a pause in play as we've had consecutive scrums.

    I wasn't expecting to hear Margaret Thatcher mentioned on the TV commentary today, but that's what breaks in play do I guess...

  4. Straight on the front foot

    Scotland 36-9 Tonga

    Scotland have started well again here - both centres Sam Johnson and Sione Tuipulotu have made strong carries in the first few minutes of the second half.

    Rufus McLean looked poised to race away down the left, but the ball went forward.

  5. Kick off

    Scotland 36-9 Tonga

    We're back unde rway at Murrayfield.

    Luke Crosbie has replaced Hamish Watson, making his debut in the back row.

  6. Scotland cut loose

    HT: Scotland 36-9 Tonga

    This under-strength Tonga side look hopelessly vulnerable in defence and you feel this scoreline could be whatever Scotland want it to be in the second half.

  7. Debut delight

    HT: Scotland 36-9 Tonga

    -SNS

    Kyle Steyn score his third try

    -SNS

    All smiles for Rufus McLean

    Scotland's wingers have torn Tonga apart so far, carrying their club form into the international arena.

  8. Half-time

    Scotland 36-9 Tonga

    Blair Kinghorn's kick drifted wide, and that was the last act of the first half at Murrayfield.

    Scotland have been fantastic; Tonga less so.

  9. try

    Try - Scotland 36-9 Tonga

    Kyle Steyn

    A first half hattrick for Kyle Steyn!

    It's brilliant attacking rugby again, as Scotland run the ball from in their own 22. Rufus McLean doesn't need a second invitation to beat his man, and races forward, before finding Darcy Graham outside him. The Edinburgh man drives into Tonga's half where he's dragged down.

    Blair Kinghorn gets quick ball, spots Steyn in space, and puts a pinpoint kick in behind Tonga's defence - all Steyn has to do is dot the ball down, which he does with ease.

  10. Fifita v Graham

    Scotland 31-9 Tonga

    Again Tonga show their power. Darcy Graham has a big grin on his face, after Walter Fifita barges through him again - something of a mismatch that contest.

    Scotland scramble well to force a knock-on.

  11. try

    Try - Scotland 31-9 Tonga

    Kyle Steyn

    This is turning into a cricket score now.

    Tonga cannot live with Scotland, and Steyn also has a double.

    Again it's first phase ball, as Steyn runs a hard line off the line-out. He fends off Vaea, and then puts on the afterburners to race away and score.

  12. try

    Try - Scotland 26-9 Tonga

    Pierre Schoeman

    And Scotland make it count!

    Darcy Graham's dancing feet again cause problems, and then the forwards take over - Schoeman powers over from a couple of yards out.

    A third debut try so far today; Kinghorn's conversion sails through the posts to further stretch the lead.

  13. End to end

    Scotland 19-9 Tonga

    Scotland pile forward from kick-off, and win a penalty of their own.

    Kinghorn kicks into the corner - another big chance...

  14. Penalty - Scotland 19-9 Tonga

    James Faiva

    The one negative for Scotland so far has been the trickle of penalties given to Tonga in point scoring positions.

    Faiva kicks his third penalty from some way out.

  15. Kinghorn pulling the strings

    Scotland 19-6 Tonga

    Andy Burke
    BBC Scotland rugby reporter at Murrayfield

    We have to take into account the limited quality of the opposition, but the Blair Kingorn at 10 experiment is working nicely so far.

    He's bringing his outside backs into play well and that was a neatly-worked move finished off by Kyle Steyn.

  16. try

    Try - Scotland 19-6 Tonga

    Kyle Steyn

    Kyle Steyn couldn't let his Glasgow teammate have all the fun!

    Scotland have a scrum centre-field on Tonga's 22, and they take full advantage of that attacking platform. They flood the right hand side, and go through the hands, where Steyn is waiting gleefully to dive over in the corner for his first international try.

    Kinghorn can't add the extras on this occasion.

  17. Penalty - Scotland 14-6 Tonga

    James Faiva

    Tonga do look dangerous when they come forward. They win another penalty in Scottish territory, and once again, James Faiva makes no mistake.

  18. Gas to burn

    Scotland 14-3 Tonga

    Andy Burke
    BBC Scotland rugby reporter at Murrayfield

    I did say it would be the first try of many for Rufus McLean!

    Lovely long pass from Kinghorn, showing the skills he offers as a 10, and McLean's footwork to leave his man for dead, and the gas to beat the cover defence, was stunning.

  19. try

    Try - Rufus McLean

    Scotland 14-3 Tonga

    Wow! Piece of cake this international rugby lark...

    Scotland go wide in the first phase off the back of a line-out, and put McLean into space.

    He dances round James Faiva, leaving Tonga's full-back in a heap on the floor - Scotland look to have an absolute gem on their hands.

    Kinghorn adds the conversion.

  20. Penalty - James Faiva

    Scotland 7-3 Tonga

    Tonga, with a penalty advantage in hand, try a crossfield kick towards the right wing, but it's knocked on as Manu looked poised to run clear.

    The go back for the penalty, and Faiva splits the posts.
