    By the end, the paper aeroplanes were flying in from the upper tiers at Wembley to cheers from the crowd. They made their own fun, having seen their team was outclassed.

    It looks very ominous for England ahead of the next two Tests. How can they respond to this?

    Don't throw anything away. England need to take the lessons away from today. They also need to understand that you don't get many opportunities at the highest level and you have to execute.

    Much ado about nothing? Mike McMeeken takes exception to something and all of a sudden a dozen players are pushing and shoving each other.

    Reece Walsh has saved two tries and he has scored two. Let's not forget that break he made at the beginning of the second half which set the tone.

    The lesson is stay at that end of the field for as long as you can. Be patient and get yourself the opportunity to create some pressure on the Australian line.

    Mikey Lewis adds the conversion. He has come alive in the last 10-15 minutes for England.

    A nice little grubber from Mikey Lewis and Jake Wardle is taken out by Nathan Cleary.

    Australia are going to challenege this. It is unssuccessful.

    When you watch the Australian players, every pass is a 10/10 on the money. It's exactly where your teammates wants it.

    A few times we have seen George Williams catch the ball above his head. You're never going to create an opportunity if the ball isn't on the money.

    A try-saving challenge from Jake Wardle down the right on Mark Nawaqanitawase. England will keep fighting even though this game is gone.

    That's an example of not finishing your sets in the manner you want to from England.

    Reece Walsh has been everywhere this afternoon, as has Cameron Munster.

    Super execution from the Australians. They have answered the questions.

    Briliant try from Australia. The visitors work the ball left, have men over and the Brisbane Broncos full-back skips over the England line unopposed.

    Can you believe this is his debut for Australia?

    It is probably England's best ball set of the afternoon. Unfortunately, they have waited 68 minutes to complete a set with good ball.

    Mikey Lewis grounds the ball over the Australian line but there's a knock on. Typical of England's day so far.

    England are trying to trundle over the Australian line.

    Can Shaun Wane's side get some points on the board?
