  1. England 52-13 Japan

    Almost brilliant again from Henry Slade as he kicks to the corner, Jonny May at full gas and he just can't get there!

  2. converted try

    Converted try - England 52-13 Japan

    Marcus Smith (con Farrell)

    Fifty up! England's kicking game gives them another try, Henry Slade kicks it through, a kind bounce sells the last Japan defender and before Slade can gather it in Marcus Smith appears to take it in.

    Owen Farrell gets two more.

  3. England 45-13 Japan

    Plenty of walking wounded on both sides now as we see this one out. Overall Eddie Jones will be pleased with this showing - much better.

  4. Sin-bin

    England 45-13 Japan

    So just to clarify Japan will be down to 14 for the remainder of this one.

    Penalty Try

    England 45-13 Japan

    Japan collapse the maul with a side entry so it's a penalty try, seven points and Siosaia Fifita is going into the sin bin.

  6. England 38-13 Japan

    England have been a bit scrappy in the last 10 minutes but they have great forward pressure here. The maul over the line but referee James Doleman can't see if they've scored.

    In fact he's going to give a penalty try...

    Henry Ellison: Since our ‘finishers’ have come on we have looked poor. Suddenly being pushed back in the scrum and they are all over us

  8. England 38-13 Japan

    Warner Dearns is held up right on the try line, Japan have to come all the way out to go back in, they kick it in behind and Owen Farrell is alert to field it for England.

  9. England 38-13 Japan

    England have really lost momentum since that double-quick double at the start of this half. So many changes must make it difficult. Japan are in striking distance again here.

  10. England 38-13 Japan

    Here comes Ben Youngs. A very good performance at scrum-half from Jack van Poortvliet.

  11. England 38-13 Japan

    That came from Japan ripping the ball back brilliantly to turn the ball over. England thought there was a knock on but it was all fine. More changes as England send on Mako Vunipola.

  12. converted try

    Converted try - England 38-13 Japan

    Naoto Saito (con Lee)

    Japan on the scoreboard! England stop as Warner Dearns breaks a tackle and charges through a gap, there's no knock-on and he finds replacement Naoto Saito for a walk in under the posts.

    Seungsin Lee adds the conversion too.

  13. England 38-6 Japan

    Those two quick tries and a flurry of changes has led to a bit of a dip in intensity. It's been a much-improved England display, that's for sure. Though Japan do now win a penalty at a scrum.

  14. England 38-6 Japan

    Changes afoot for both sides, Ellis Genge one of the men to come off. His try was well worked.

  15. England 38-6 Japan

    A brilliant few minutes from England who have swept Japan away with two quick scores.

  16. converted try

    Converted try - England 38-6 Japan

    Guy Porter (con Farrell)

    Straight from the restart!

    Maro Itoje wins the ball back with a counter ruck, Owen Farrell kicks it in behind a disorganised Japan defence and Guy Porter chases it down for his second try of the day!

    Farrell lands the kick to stay at 100%.

  17. converted try

    Converted try - England 31-6 Japan

    Ellis Genge (con Farrell)

    Great score! Good rugby from England, they come out wide, Freddie Steward is held up but England keep the ball coming quickly, Jack van Poortvliet feeds prop Ellis Genge five metres out and he takes three Japan players with him to score under the posts!

    Owen Farrell adds the conversion.

  18. England 24-6 Japan

    Great hands from scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet, who has done his case for a regular starting role no harm at all. England soar out wide, Freddie Steward again eats up some metres but he's held up. England work it patiently out to the right and eventually earn a penalty.

  19. England 24-6 Japan

    Seungsin Lee has the chance to reduce England's lead with a lengthy penalty but his kick never really looks like troubling the scorers.

    Jonny May is back with us - both teams back up to 15 players.

  20. England 24-6 Japan

    Japan change their 10 at the break with Seungsin Lee now the man at fly-half. They have an early penalty for a high tackle by Jonny Hill.
