Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraAlex Mitchell darts back to the blindside.
England constructed a decent attack, Mitchell goes looking outside the second defender and nobody completes a tackle on him - he is dangerous.

Talk about running....
Off goes Tommy Freeman down the wing, he puts the ball on the toe but it dribbles out.
Lovely play!

Henry Slade sends up a high ball, but it is too long. Not much running so far from England.

Paul Grayson
Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraEngland have had loads of the ball, but without the ball they have had a couple of howlers.
Italy are probing, but have not ripped England apart.
England are trying to be aggressive and dominant but they were completely disjointed for the first try.
Two tries conceded due to their own mistakes.
Roots shines with the dirty workpublished at 15:05 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February
HT: Italy 17-14 England
Debutant Ethan Roots was not picked for turnovers or flashy Ben Earl runs. He was picked to hit rucks and secure ball.
The 26-year-old has done that brilliantly.

Italy deserve their lead at half-time. The last time they led at the break was against Wales in 2022 - their last win in the Six Nations.

Paul Grayson
Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraSlick hands from England, in-and-out pass from George Ford to Tommy Freeman, showing great skills and awareness.
Brilliant from Freeman to make a break and keep hold of the ball.
It was the right call to go - when they did - as they had a penalty advantage. England had a free hit and Freeman almost got there.
A six-point game!

An easy one for George Ford and he bangs it over.

Italy 17-8 England
Tommy Freeman is so close to scoring, with Italians hanging off him. In an attempt to stop him they pull down his shorts.
Probably the only way to stop Freeman at the moment.
