    England 45-0 United States

    Rinse and repeat.

    Another driven maul, again the United States sent into a tailspin.

    This time it is Rosie Galligan in the second-row engine room who seems to dot down.

    But the video official believes he has spotted an accidental offside as the initial England jumper returned to earth.

    Amy Cokayne

    It is like fixing a hole in the Hoover Dam with a sticking plaster.

    The United States forwards hold firm against the pressure of England's driven maul. But only for a moment before their defence springs a leak and the red shirts pour through.

    Amy Cokayne is the one - as ever - with her mitts on the ball for the score.

    Tatyana Heard has been a strong, skilful carrier in midfield. This is her first England appearance since 2019 and she is giving coach Simon Middleton plenty to chew on.

    Claudia MacDonald (con Scarratt)

    Another lovely score. England playing with width, ambition and pace as Emily Scarratt slings the mis-pass across dummy runner Hannah Botterman into the hands of Claudia MacDonald.

    MacDonald sweeps outside Alev Kelter and then swerves in and out to beat replacement Meya Bizer and rack up her second try.

    Extras from the expert Scarratt.

    England have not held the United States at bay. Waves of attack crashing against a red wall.

    And England turn it over...

    Here comes the incision and precision.

    England 33-0 United States

    The United States are building a cecent bit of pressure at the start of the second half.

    They have a line-out 10m out and hooker Joanna Kitlinski has hit her jumper...

    The saxosophonist went down very well. Even some of the England squad were up dancing.

    HT: England 33-0 United States

    Simon Middleton has made a switch at nine with Leanne Infante, who returned to Saracens this summer, on in place of Natasha Hunt.

    It is getting a little wet and wild in Exeter.

    England jog out for the second half as a saxophonist plays Freed from Desire in the stands. Obviously.

    Oranges. And that was a pretty good showing from England, who clicked in attack in the second 20 minutes especially.

  13. Missed penaltypublished at 40 mins

    England 33-0 United States

    Olivia Ortiz's kick refused to pass through the sticks and the half-time whistle blows.

    England 33-0 United States

    The United States make their first incursion into the England 22m with ball in hand. Kate Zackary is the player in possession.

    Time for England to show they can shut the back door as well as showing off an all-singing all-dancing chorus line of attacking options at the front.

    Job done. England man the breakdown.

    Oh no. England over-eager. Penalty to the States. With the clock in the red, they are calling for the tee...

    How on earth does Simon Middleton pick his wings for the World Cup?

    Breach and MacDonald are proving their worth, Dow is yet to come back in. Sarah McKenna, Lydia Thompson... way too much talent to choose from.

    Jess Breach (con Scarratt)

    Lightning strikes twice.

    England strike blind off turnover ball and Emily Scarratt releases Jess Breach, who bounds down the line like a hungry whippet to get her second score of the afternoon.

    Scarratt's kicking has been really good off the tee today and she adds another two to keep the scoreboard ticking along at a point a minute.

    Claudia MacDonald (con Scarratt)

    Lovely stuff from England as they make the numbers count against a United States team down to 14 after Hallie Taufoou sin-binning.

    In the end is it a simple three on two and Ellie Kildunne times the final pass well to give Claudia MacDonald a walk-in.

    Conversion is......good from Emily Scarratt after it flirted with the left upright.

    England are playing some all-court stuff. Hooker Amy Cokayne lobs a sublime basketball-style pass over the top as England keep the ball alive...

    One shining light in this slightly frantic England performance is Claudia MacDonald.

    MacDonald thought her rugby career was over because of a neck injury towards the end of last year.

    Today, she is playing her way back into the World Cup squad with an energetic performance on the wing.

    Amy Cokayne (con Scarratt)

    This time England get their drill right. A pin-point line-out dart from Amy Cokayne, who jogs round, binds in and steers a juggernaut maul over the whitewash.

    Conversion is sweet as a nut from Emily Scarratt.
