  4. 'Impressive'

    HT: England 31-0 Scotland

    Emily Scarratt
    Injured England centre on BBC Two

    That's a really impressive display from England. They are trying to get the ball wide and a fly-half like Holly Aitchison playing flat to the line with fast ball is making life very difficult for Scotland.

  5. Half-time - England 31-0 Scotland

    That will be that for the opening 40 minutes.

    England are banging on the door for try number six but Holly Aitchison's cross-field kick is just too high for Jess Breach.

    They will have to settle for five tries in the opening half of their Six Nations title defence.

  6. England 31-0 Scotland

    Sara Orchard
    Rugby union commentator on BBC Two

    If the pitch was a metre shorter, Scotland would have had a couple of tries.

  7. England 31-0 Scotland

    Francesca McGhie is thrown the ball on the wing and she charges towards the England line but Jess Breach just manages to bring her down metres short.

    A brief moment to cheer for the visiting fans.

  8. England 31-0 Scotland

    Zoe Aldcroft is penalised for the high tackle and Scotland have the chance to kick for touch and build some pressure.

  9. England 31-0 Scotland

    Scotland throw the ball around with so much freedom but they lack that clinical edge.

    Small errors continue to cost them, and England just aren't making the same mistakes.

  10. England 31-0 Scotland

    Becky Grey
    BBC Sport at Kingston Park

    England scored the vast majority of their tries from the maul in the World Cup and were criticised for it at times.

    They've waited until their fifth to truck it over this time, putting on a show for the Newcastle crowd.

  11. 'A great weapon to have'

    England 31-0 Scotland

    Heather Lockhart
    Former Scotland prop on BBC Two

    England are finding another gear and their finishing is excellent.

    Scotland have to find a way to slow the ball down and get themselves organised defensively.

    The line-out maul is a great weapon to have.

  12. try

    Converted Try - England 31-0 Scotland

    Amy Cokayne (con Lagi Tuima)

    It was inevitable.

    Amy Cokayne throws in at the line-out before joining the maul which rolls over the line.

    Lagi Tuima bangs over the conversion.

  13. England 24-0 Scotland

    England are utterly dominant.

    They have the penalty metres from the Scotland line and they kick for touch.

    Here comes the heaveeeeee.

  14. 'England putting some demons to bed'

    England 24-0 Scotland

    Katy Daley-Mclean
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    This could be a long day at the office for Scotland. England are putting some demons to bed. They look really dominant going forward.

  15. try

    Converted Try - England 24-0 Scotland

    Tatyana Heard (Con Lagi Tuima)

    Bonus point in the bag.

    Scotland cannot hold back these relentless English runners.

    Tatyana Heard powers over from close range for her first Test try and England have their fourth of the game.

    Lagi Tuima adds the conversion.

  16. England 17-0 Scotland

    England are intent on wrapping up the bonus point here.

    It's wave after wave of England attacks.

  17. England 17-0 Scotland

    Katy Daley-Mclean
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    MacDonald has been doing this all season for Exeter. It's the pace of the finish, she put her foot down and was gone.

  18. England 17-0 Scotland

    Becky Grey
    BBC Sport at Kingston Park

    It's not a Women's Six Nations without a stunning solo try from one of England's wings.

  19. try

    Try - England 17-0 Scotland

    Claudia Macdonald

    Classy.

    Pure gas by Claudia Macdonald as she snipes through a gap in the blue wall before pinning her ears back and sprinting clear.

    It's a second try for the Exeter player and England are cruising.

    'That's lovely' Macdonald scores her second try

  20. England 12-0 Scotland

    The small errors are costing Scotland.

    The visitors are in the attack but debutant Francesca McGhie spills the ball forward in contact and England will have. the scrum.
