    Despite having one more player on the field, Scotland have not been able to take the initiative and ask questions of their visitors.

    It's still England on the front foot.

    Ellie Kildunne (con Holly Aitchison)

    Bend it like Jones.

    Holly Aitchison pokes the ball past the onrushing Scotland defence before Meg Jones uses her boot to clip the ball to her left.

    Ellie Kildunne is able to gather the ball and roll over to ground it under the posts.

    Clever attacking rugby as Aitchison uses her boot again to add the conversion.

    Maud Muir

    She's not being stopped from there.

    England roll through the phases and Maud Muir bumps one defender off before powering over the line.

    But will it stand? Referee Clara Munarini just wants to check something with the help of the TMO.

  9. No try - Scotland 0-10 Englandpublished at 24 mins

    Meg Jones is adjudged to have knocked the ball forwards before Jess Breach got over so the try is chalked off.

    Scotland have the scrum on their own five metre line to clear the danger.

    Stop that Amy Cokayne.

    The hooker defies logic by throwing the line-out long and it reaches its target.

    England are off on the attack and Jess Breach gets it down in the corner, but was it knocked-on in the build-up?

    Scotland 0-10 England

    The wind continues to play its part as the ball is dropped several times by both sides.

    It's adjudged to have gone backwards before England spill the ball forwards and then Scotland knock-on from the pick-up.

    Mayhem.

    This time Scotland win the decision at the scrum and it's just a reminder to the England front-row that they won't have it all their own way.

    The sell-out crowd at the Hive enjoyed that one.

    Another scrum and another penalty for England.

    The ball is moved wide for Meg Jones to punch through the blue shirts in midfield but her offload goes to ground.

    The chance disappears for Scotland as England power through at the scrum and win the penalty.

    The hosts have had very few answers to the England onslaught so far.

    Now then, Abbie Ward knocks on and presents Scotland with an opportunity to attack.

    The hosts will have the scrum inside the England half.

    Abby Dow

    A terrific team try.

    It may be blowing a gale but England throw the ball through the hands with accuracy as Abby Dow finishes off well in the corner.

    Holly Aitchison misses the conversion.

    Amy Cokayne

    It was coming.

    England have had all the ball and hooker Amy Cokayne is over from close range after a neat step to shuffle past the first defender.

    Holly Aitchison misses the conversion.

    Finding clean ball is going to be tough this afternoon.

    Sadia Kabeya makes valuable yards with a powerful surge from the line-out but the ball gets stuck at the breakdown and the visitors are unable to move it quickly.
