    Michela Sillari

    Christine Belisle is pinged at the breakdown for going off feet.

    Michela Sillari calls for her kicking tee and makes no mistake.

    Italy lead for the first time tonight.

    Italy 10-10 Scotland

    A wonderful kick from Veronica Madia is just inches away from a 50-22.

    Fine margins, but Scotland have the line-out.

    Italy 10-10 Scotland

    Scotland immediately on the front foot from the kick-off - Lisa Thomson picks a great line to get over the gain-line.

    The ball is really slippy now though, and the visitors cannot keep hold of it.

    Melissa Bettoni

    Italy hit back.

    The pressure tells - Vittoria Vecchini got within touching distance of the line, and Melissa Bettoni crashes over from the subsequent phase.

    A great conversion from Michela Sillari levels the scores.

    It's been an evenly fought match, both sides have shown great passages of play. Emma Wassell leads in more ways than she thinks, it's great to have her back.

    The times they've been in and around Italy's 22m they've come away with points. Italy in the middle part of that first half were the dominant team but Scotland's defence on the whole was pretty comfortable, even on their own line. There's loads for Scotland to be buoyed by.

    As the clock ticks past 40 minutes, Sarah Law decides that is enough for the first half and boots the ball into touch.

    Scotland will be happy with their work so far!

    Some lady is Emma Wassell! What a way to make a statement. She said 'there's so much we're determined to get right and I have every ounce of belief that we will.' She said that earlier this week and she's true to her word.

    Emma Wassell

    And take the lead they do!

    Scotland keep the ball in hand, go through the phases, and their patience is eventually rewarded, as the experienced Emma Wassell forces her way over.

    The TMO had a quick look to check the grounding, but no issues there!

    Italy 3-3 Scotland

    Scotland have another line-out - this time on Italy's 5m line.

    Huge chance to go in front as we approach half-time...

    Scotland are camped on the Italian line here.

    However, some resilient defence from the hosts forces a handling error and the chance is gone.

    Italy 3-3 Scotland

    Scotland have another foray into Italy's 22 - they'll have to wait to take the lineout though as we run some repairs.

    It looks like someone has lost a contact lense...

    A huge nudge from Scotland's pack sees them win a penalty.

    They enjoyed that one!

    Both sides are looking to get the scoreboard kicking and get something from those entries into the 22m. Italy will be happy with the three points.

    Italy are knocking on the door here, but Scotland are holding firm in defence, led by Lisa Thomson, who has made a couple of big tackles.

    Italy have weathered the storm somewhat, and now have some territory of their own, winning a line-out inside Scotland's 22.
