    And you guessed it - it's another rolling maul which the flanker benefits from to ground the ball over the Scotland line.

    That hat-trick took less than 10 minutes to score.

    England think they have their 10th try through Sarah Beckett but it's quickly chalked off for a knock-on in the build-up.

    The fans have been spoiled today but they let out a collective groan at the decision.

    England have a new front row but they have seamlessly fitted in. They are so on-script.

    England are going to be comfortable winners but they are chasing the half century.

    You cannot ask any more for a legend of our game. Sarah Hunter epitomises what it means to be a Red Roses player.

    England are utilising their skillset but they also have this maul in their bag. It must be very hard for Scotland to try to stop.

    Marlie Packer

    It's an eighth try for England and Marlie Packer gets the final touch from the rolling maul.

    England have too much power and Scotland cannot keep them out.

    The opening day of the Women's Six Nations may be too early to crown a try of the tournament, but Claudia Macdonald's solo finish is definitely an early contender.

    England are causing Scotland so many problems with their offloading out of the tackle. Sadia Kabeya looks like she's been out there for 50 caps.

    Sadia Kabeya (con Lagi Tuima)

    Too easy.

    Abby Dow makes the break and rides the tackle to offload to Sadia Kabeya, who brushes off Helen Nelson for England's try number seven.

    Lagi Tuima adds the conversion.

    What a catch.

    Abigail Dow sprints forward and stoops low to scoop the ball from the Scotland kick.

    The England full-back is then wrestled to the ground, but that was some take on the full.

    England may be cruising to victory but there is only one story in town.

    How much longer will Sarah Hunter remain on the field before she leaves the pitch as an England player for the last time?

    This is how her final Test appearance began.

    She does that so well. Poppy Cleall doesn't get enough credit. It's an absolutely great line and Scotland's defence hasn't seen her until too late because they think it's going to Zoe Aldcroft. It's a great tactic.

    Six up for England.

    England are camped on the Scotland line and Poppy Cleall runs an excellent arc to power over.

    You're not stopping her from there.

    How do Scotland respond to that first half? We may have to wait for that answer as England start the second half where they left off at the end of the first.
