    For anyone wondering, Henry Thomas' father is from Swansea and the prop has admitted his father was "disappointed" when he chose to play for England.

    Once we saw the advantage for Wales, Aaron Wainwright was waving for the ball. Danny Care was in front of him and once Wainwright caught the ball he tried to get his hands free and then brilliant from Jac Morgan holding the ball in two hands and passing to Gareth Davies. That's what the game needed, a brilliant try.

    Brilliant execution from Wales, made from Costelow's boot after some great heads up rugby.

    Wainwright and Morgan spotted their mismatch on the right hand touchline as the play shifted left and the England defenders went with it.

    Pinpoint precision on the crossfield and the back row combine well to hold the England defenders and put in Gareth Davies for the opening try.

    At last we have a try.

    Sam Costelow's cross-field kick finds Aaron Wainwright but it was all about that off-load.

    The number eight gets the pass out of the tackle to Jac Morgan. The captain beats two men and passes to Davies to score near the posts.

    Shock - Wales win a scrum penalty.

    Kieran Assiratti gets pats on the back from his teammates.

    He's learning on the hoof here in his first taste of Test rugby.

    Jonny Hill is on while Dave Ribbans goes for a head injury assessment.

    Late chance to impress for Hill who missed out on the Six Nations.

    Wales are persevering with their kicking game... but with little impact against Freddie Steward.

    Wales need more possession in England's half in this second half. They are losing the scrum battle which is giving England field possession.

    Wales need to win the kicking battle and have to stay in the game and not concede a try. They don't want to be chasing against a team like England. The first try will be crucial.

    And we're under way. Hope the second half is a little more productive than the first.

    A scrappy, stop-start first 40 minutes with England good value for their lead despite familiar inaccuracy in the opposition 22.

    England have clearly been given instructions to play very little rugby in their own half, but they have edged the physicality stakes and the aerial battle which will have pleased Steve Borthwick.

    Earlier I asked you which two players on the field started in Wales and England's World Cup friendly 12 years ago.

    If you got George North and Danny Care, kudos to you!

    There's not a lot in this game. You have to give credit to Wales defensively, they've been good and physically they've been up to it.

    I was expecting England to run over Wales fairly easily but they've been competitive in almost all areas.

    The only area that's letting Wales down is the scrum and I'm sure Warren Gatland will chat to the two props at half-time and try to sort it out.

    Wales are lucky to be only down by three points at half-time and will be grateful for England spurning chances and some desperate defence led by George North.

    New Wales caps Corey Domachowski and Keiron Assiratti are struggling in the scrum against Will Stuart and Ellis Genge with three set-piece penalties conceded.

    Warren Gatland will be hoping for a firmer foundation and some attacking opportunities in the second half.
