No mistakes, no errors. You can feel the tension from across the channel. England had this game all but won at half-time, they have six minutes to not lose it...

Great work at the line-out again from England to turn the ball over. High fives everywhere, one eye firmly on the clock.

The problem with England's game play is that it can work but it's utterly dull. That's why rugby keeps changing the rules to discourage teams from playing like this. It's not just England's fans, everyone thinks it's rubbish.

Extra time anyone?published at 72 mins

There has never been extra time in a World Cup quarter final, by the way.
Just saying.

I do not think this game is over!

Owen Farrell
It's sharp, and it's smart. England make their time near the posts count as Owen Farrell drops it cleanly between the posts. The Princess of Wales blows out her cheeks up in the stands.

Better from England, Manu Tuilagi finding ground down in the left corner, England close to the line and well spread out. Can they make this count?

Former England winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveSemi Radradra again! He powers through two players and finds an offload. A try out of nowhere.

Stunning rugby from Fiji, Semi Radradra handing off to Isoa Nasilasila who charges into open field, England are scattered and he finds Vilimoni Botitu on his shoulder for the score.
Simione Kuruvoli adds the conversion...

Simione Kuruvoli hits the post with a penalty from a long way out - how important could that be?
Marcus Smith's shirt is covered in blood, Terry Butcher style. He may not be putting his hand up to play at 15 again...

Peni Ravai (con Kuruvoli)
Image source, Getty ImagesGame on! This quarter-final is not over yet. England do well twice to stop runners within sight of the posts but eventually they are too ragged in defence and there's a big hole for replacement Peni Ravai to run through and score.
Simione Kuruvoli kicks the extras.

Same old England fans moaning about our game play. Wales lost to Argentina by letting them dominate, as I see it we are doing enough to stop Fiji playing their game.

England's new props win a penalty from a scrum and Owen Farrell kicks it deep into enemy territory. Manage the clock, manage the score. There have been just three points added since the break.

The hour mark sees Danny Care come on at scrum-half, while Joe Marler and Kyle Sinckler are on in the front row too.

'You can't slap him like that', says Owen Farrell. It was Levani Botia on Tom Curry and they shake hands and move on.

Image source, PA MediaThe leadership of this team, the message form the touchline should say we have the game under control and to go for the posts. They will need every ounce to compete against France or South Africa.
Missed penaltypublished at 58 mins
England 24-10 Fiji
Fiji run the ball out wide but two players cross each other and it's a gift of a penalty for England. Owen Farrell goes for goal from a long way out, 48 metres to be precise, and hits it about 47. Just short...
