    Santiago Carreras (con Boffelli)

    Try given! That looks like the correct decision too, you could not see a touch on the ball. After Owen Farrell's pass went to ground Argentina came away and Santiago Carreras just has the gas to get away and score.

    Emiliano Boffelli adds the two extras.

  2. Try reviewpublished at 15:27 Greenwich Mean Time 6 November 2022

    Argentina go over again! But it's going to be checked by the TMO...

    Owen Farrell's pass goes astray and Argentina come away to score, Farrell thinks it's a knock-on but we are talking a matter of millimetres.

    While they waited for the conversion, Argentina huddled up on the touchline with flanker Marcos Kremer in the centre issuing a pep talk.

    They are here to take everything....

    Not just a handy kicker! What a wonderful try from Argentina as they spread seamlessly across the park from a line-out on the right to a finish in the opposite corner.

    Santiago Carreras has the key line and pass and finds the left wing Emiliano Boffelli for a sliding finish. He misses the conversion but that was lovely...

    A flashpoint as Ellis Genge squares up to his opposite number, referee Andrew Brace just says 'We don't need that, we don't need that...'

    Better from England, Freddie Steward does well under a high ball and then Jonny Hill hits hard at the breakdown to turn the ball over. Ah, Hill is pinged for knocking the ball on though so it's an Argentina scrum.

    Maro Itoje comes through the line-out to steal the ball brilliantly but England then knock it on. Itoje still celebrates, set-piece delivery nailed.

    Away we go. The skies over Twickenham are postively midsummer now. Let's hope for some sunny play too.

    England international Bryony Cleall is being interviewed over the tannoy at half-time talking all things Red Roses...

    She is going to head out to New Zealand to support her sister Poppy [pictured] and the rest of the England team in their final against the hosts next weekend.

    You can tune into it on BBC Radio 5 Live on Saturday from 06:30 GMT.

    Short of rhythm, lacking in backline pizazz, this has felt a lot like the opening slot in England's autumn festival of rugby.

    I wonder if Eddie Jones might opt to manage Manu Tuilagi's workload, save the Sale centre for Tests to come and bring on Henry Slade for the final 20-30 minutes.

    Alternatively Sam Simmonds' wheels might be able to get some traction on the Twickenham skidpan.

    He would want the result tied up a lot tighter before he calls on the cavalry though.

    The tv pundits reckon we've seen the last of the rain for the afternoon now so there could be more points to come after the restart...

    Just the one try in that half, Bath wing Joe Cokanasiga barrelled over from close range.

    England 16-12 Argentina

    Not the most exciting or fluent half, England giving away too many penalties but they do lead at the break.

    Owen Farrell is dead centre and lands it with ease.

    England turn it on at the scrum and Ellis Genge lets out a huge roar as they force a penalty. He sure enjoyed that!

    That's as slick as England have managed all half, Smith, Cokanisaga, Vunipola and Sinckler all involved as the hosts pile forwards. Nothing comes of it in the end but that's the sort of flowing rugby the crowd want to see.

    Owen Farrell is leading a huddle where I'm sure this lack of discipline will be the focus. You can't give this many points away.

    Emiliano Boffelli does what he does.

    Every restart there seems to be a penalty instantly, for either side. Eddie Jones won't be happy as England are offside straight away.
