    England 8-0 Wales

    Chance now for Wales, as England's debutant fullback Amelia Brown fails to gather a bouncing ball.

    Wales have possession within five yards of the England line... and knock it on! A really poor error, and a big opportunity lost.

    It's really good vision from Isabel Rowe, she was under pressure to find that gap.

    In terms of Anna Davies, she has not given up on the play and she has pace about her - a very good try.

    Wales look overwhelmed so far, they can barely get a hand on the ball and can't make any ground where they have it.

    Another win looks firmly on the cards for Stuart Barrow's side, although there is a long way to go.

    Wales jumped off the line and that allowed Izzy Rowe to find some space. Great vision with the grubber to put Anna Davies in.

    Davies is onside from the kick, and the pick-up was good.

    Video referee Jack Smith authorises the try.

    It was a clever grubber kick from Izzy Rowe, although she still hasn't found her range from the tee yet. Zero from two conversions.

    Have England got a second try?

    Anna Davies dives over after picking up a grubber kick, but the officials want to take another look at the video...

    There's some good defence from England and it's putting Wales under all sorts of pressure.

    Wales need some field position, all the game has been played in their half. The rucks are too slow for Wales and it's allowing the kick pressure from England.

    Mistake now from England, as a handling error 10 metres from the Wales line allows for an interception.

    Wales have been overhwlemed in the opening 10 minutes, but now get a bit of much needed breathing space.

    England 4-0 Wales

    England have started like they mean business. They come straight back at Wales post-restart and a grubber kick by Zoe Harris nearly sets them through for another score.

    Wales scramble to clear.

    England played with great confidence there, got the ball out wide to Partington and reset. They had great shape and lots of options. Great footwork from Liv Wood to go over for the try. Wood's a gritty player isn't she? She wears her heart on her sleeve.

    That's what you get at international level, if you make errors you are punished by quality opposition - that's what happened to Wales.

    Some good play from Jodie Cunningham with the no-look pass and it opened up for Liv Wood to cross over the line.

    The error is punished.

    England win their scrum, play the ball through hands before a lovely no-look pass from Jodie Cunningham gives Olivia Wood the space to drive through the defence and score the opening try.

    Disappointment for Izzy Rowe though as she misses a simple conversion.

    A really good opening defensive set from England. They are managing to keep Wales in their own half.

    England make their first meaningful forway forwards, and get within five metres of the Welsh line.

    However the visiting defence stands strong, and get the handover after the fifth set. A good start.

    But that good work is lost as a loose carry leads to a turnover back to England inside the Wales half.

    A fairly even start at Headingley, where the smoke has just about cleared following the pre-game fireworks.

    It's not a packed-out crowd, but those at the stadium in Leeds are making decent noise.

    Give Leanne Burnell an inch and she will be difficult to handle. She causes threats on the ball.

    England have won all three tests under head coach Stuart Barrow following their semi-final exit from the last World Cup.

    And in those three tests, England are yet to concede a single point.

    The fans will expect that perfect record to carry on today.

    England head coach Stuart Barrow, speaking to BBC Two about leaving Emily Rudge out: "Probably the toughest decision I have had to make during in my tenure.

    "Really tough decision and we are blessed with back-rowers, but me and Emily know what we are doing going forward."

    On injuries within the team: "We were looking healthy and then we lost three of the back five.

    "I have always got one eye on the World Cup, but every Test match is the next stage.

    "I am confident in the youngsters today, it gives them an opportunity to show what they can do at the next level.

    "My job is made easier by the senior players in the group. I am more confident bringing youngsters in when you have those seniors there."

    Regardless of the scoreline both teams will take a lot from this.

    Injuries will happen and particular for England's point of view it is massive, we need people out there who have experienced games.
