    Another poor strike from Holly Aitchison from the tee. She has looked great in attack today, but has struggled with her goal kicking.

    Not easy by any means. Aitchison has the class to be a high percentage kicker.

    Great finish from Abby Dow!

    Tatyana Heard did well with ball in her hands and pinned her ears back, but it was a great cover tackle from Jenny Hesketh.

    Jess Breach acting as a playmaker and Abby Dow gets the reward.

    Rampant Red Roses!

    The backs have come to the party. Centre Tatyana Heard catches a bouncing ball, picks an angle and smashes through it, carrying England to the line. Wing Jess Breach is on the scene and bullets a pass to opposite wing Abby Dow, and she dives over.

    Holly Aitchison misses another kick - a tough angle that one.

    Brilliant start from England, Wales didn't make it easy for them to score.

    England kept their composure and managed to get it to the outside edge - Ellie Kildunne manages to score.

    The England forwards are battering on the door, Wales just hang on but when Holly Aitchison switches it to the blindside full-back Ellie Kildunne is able to contort herself into a finish.

    Aitchison clips the conversion against the crossbar and out!

    If you want an impact player Sisilia Tuipulotu is a player you want on the field. She is on for Wales.

    England 24-3 Wales

    England have won 25 of their previous 27 Women’s Six Nations matches against Wales - their last defeat was a 13-0 defeat in Swansea in 2015.

    It's looking like a wait that will carry on.

  12. Wales need to convert chancespublished at 17:34 Greenwich Mean Time 30 March

    HT: England 24-3 Wales

    Alastair Telfer
    BBC Sport at Ashton Gate

    Wales have had 48% possession in the first half and despite having plenty of ball they can't convert this into points.

    Credit to England's defence, but Wales must be ruing those missed opportunities in the first 40 minutes.

    On the other hand, when the Red Roses get any chance - it is try time!

  13. Postpublished at 17:34 Greenwich Mean Time 30 March

    England 24-3 Wales

    Zoe Aldcroft, Hannah Botterman, Maud Muir and Lark Atkin-Davies all crossed for tries in that first half. England have a bonus point already.

    Last year's 59-3 win over Wales saw nine different try scorers.

    Speaking of teams who were better than the scoreline suggests - Scotland gave France a right good game earlier on.

    Wales have played better than the scoreline suggests but England's power is too much for most.

    England can score in any shape, way or form.

    But the one they always go to is the lineout maul - it's so difficult to defend.

    So much power, Wales are being pushed back by the England pack and after a few near misses the maul goes over the line with hooker Lark Atkin-Davies credited with the score.

    Holly Aitchison screws the conversion well wide.

    The England scrum is fantastic last week they were down to 14 and they still won every single one.

    A huge shove by England's scrum forces a penalty right at the end of the half.
