  1. Ireland 3-6 England

    Johnny Sexton is up to 560 points in the Six Nations. Will he add to that tally before full-time?

    This is top level rugby, it's a real bounce back from England, they are throwing the kitchen sink as we hoped they would. But you have got to get the return on the scoreboard.

  3. 'Hansen outstanding'

    Mack Hansen has picked up again today from where he left off last week. He has been outstanding for Ireland throughout all of this Six Nations Championship.

  5. Dombrandt late on Sexton

    Ireland 3-6 England

    If there is any man you want to avoid hitting late today, it's Johnny Sexton.

    Alex Dombrandt does just that and the crowd let out a collective groan as it's replayed on the screen.

    Ireland have the penalty and Sexton dusts himself off to pump the ball deep into English territory.

  6. Tight Test match

    Ireland 3-6 England

    The mood around the Aviva has been subdued since Johnny Sexton's record-breaking moment as England get back on the ball.

    Manu Tuilagi is over the gainline again and it takes two green shirts to drag him to ground.

    This is some Test match.

    Cracking start to the game, the score is a fair reflection on where it has gone. Congratulations to Sexton, but England need to get back into that place they were in the first 15.

  9. 'Three precious points for Ireland'

    That will do Sexton and Ireland's confidence the world of good. Three precious points for Sexton and Ireland.

  11. Ireland 0-6 England

    Hugo Keenan makes a terrific break in midfield and Ireland are off.

    He's hauled down by Freddie Steward and the hosts recycle the ball and move it quickly but England are in position to drive them back.

    Defence coach Kevin Sinfield must have worked them hard this week.

  12. 'England applying the pressure'

    Jamie Heaslip

    It's pressure on pressure that England are doing, smart play and really stretching Ireland on the edge.

  13. Penalty - Ireland 0-6 England

    Owen Farrell

    The England captain has brought his kicking boots as the ball sails over the posts.

    Who would've predicted this before kick-off?

  14. Ireland 0-3 England

    Owen Farrell is one from one off the tee and the England captain points to the posts for another shot at goal.

    This to stretch the lead.

  15. 'Correct decision'

    Ireland 0-3 England

    Tony Ward
    Former Ireland fly-half on BBC Radio Ulster

    Sexton was held up. That was the correct decision. That was very good defensive play by England.

  16. Ireland 0-3 England

    England are deemed to be onside and they can clear their line with the drop out from behind their whitewash.

  17. Has Sexton scored?

    Ireland 0-3 England

    You cannot take your eyes of this game, it's breathless.

    Ireland think they are over but England are back in numbers and manage to hold Johnny Sexton up.

    But were the white shirts onside?

  18. Ireland 0-3 England

    Ireland win the penalty this time and the crowd respond. They have been under the cosh early on but now here's a chance to kick for touch.

  19. 'England good at testing Irish defence'

    Ireland 0-3 England

    Jamie Heaslip
    Former Ireland number eight on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I'm out of breath! England are really good at testing the Irish defence, testing the edge of the defence where Ireland have been suspect at times.

  20. Ireland look 'jittery' - Ward

    This is a proud England side. They were very poor at Twickenham last week and naturally they are looking to make amends. Ireland look a bit jittery so far.
