    HT: Scotland 5-6 Australia

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer at Murrayfield

    Losing track of the amount of turnovers Scotland have won in their own 22. Might be six at this point. They’re putting major heat on the Aussies at the breakdown and are showing real intent in defence. That’s great, but where’s the attack? Precious little ball for Scotland so far.

    That is that for the first 40 minutes at Murrayfield.

    Scotland will feel they've edged it, but they head to the sheds trailing by one point.

    Scotland infringe at the breakdown and in the aftermath Zander Fagerson has a wee to-do with his Australian counterpart.

    These encounters are always testy affairs.

    Scotland have looked good so far. They seem to have the upper hand over the 22. Gregor Townsend will be disappointed they haven't scored again.

    Scotland 5-3 Australia

    Ollie Smith races back into position to dive on a kick through.

    Andrew Kellaway was haring after that for Australia.

    Pierre Schoeman then chops down Tate McDermott and wins possession back for Scotland.

    Their defence has been rock solid so far.

    Australia are having a spell of their own now, and kick a penalty into the corner.

    Big defensive effort needed now for Scotland.

    Glen Young is held up over the line, and Australia survive.

    Scotland will be disappointed not to stretch their lead in that spell.

    Scotland 5-3 Australia

    Blair Kinghorn floats a lovely pass over the Wallabies defence.

    Sione Tuiptulotu just has to catch it cleanly and score in the corner, but he inexplicably knocks-on.

    Scotland had a penalty advantage in the bag, and will come again here...

    Scotland win a penalty right in front of the posts, but Blair Kinghorn kicks into the corner.

    A statement of intent...

    Bernard Foley tiptoes down the line, but then slices his kick out on the full.

    Scotland have a lineout deep inside Australia's half.

    Australia have done well to come away from home and control the ball. Scotland will be happy. They just haven't had much of the ball apart from the try.

    Australia probing once more, making consistent progress over the gain-line, but Scotland's defence stands firm.

    They exit well through a towering Ali Price box-kick.

    Australia's fly-half is as reliable as they come off the tee, and he makes no mistake here.

    The visitors reduce the deficit.

    Ollie Smith

    Gorgeous rugby - what a finish!

    Scotland get front foot ball off the lineout, and Blair Kinghorn delays his pass beautifully to open up Australia's defence.

    Ollie Smith has plenty of work left to do, but Scotland's full-back slaloms past a couple of defenders to score a wonderful try.

    Kinghorn's conversion is dragged wide.

    A great nudge from Scotland at the scrum wins another penalty, and they kick towards the Wallabies 22.

    First chance for Scotland to launch an attack of their own...

    Australia have looked incredibly slick in these opening exchanges and make their way deep into Scotland's 22.

    However, more excellent work at the breakdown wins Scotland a penalty, and Blair Kinghorn kicks the hosts downfield.
