  1. England 0-6 Australia

    England are all over the place defensively down the left edge again but Herbie Farnworth comes to the rescue as they just about scramble back into position to prevent a second Australia try.

  2. 'England need to build pressure'

    England need to be positive and clean up their end of sets at this end of the field. They need to build some pressure.

  3. England 0-6 Australia

    Referee Liam Moore is not going to be on the Christmas card list of many England players.

    Herbie Farnworth appeared to be dragged down off the ball by Reece Walsh, but is left livid as Moore waves it away.

  4. England 0-6 Australia

    England finally get some decent field position and Jake Wardle mishandles and is shunted into touch.

  5. England 0-6 Australia

    Isaah Yeo has failed his head injury assessment, so will not be back today for Australia or indeed the second test.

  6. 'Wardle had an opportunity to take Walsh out'

    I think from a defensive point, it was Jake Wardle who had an opportunity to take Reece Walsh out of support play. Wardle had the right to take Walsh to ground and stop him form being that support play.

    CONVERTED TRY

    England 0-6 Australia

    Nathan Cleary adds the extras. He was never missing from there.

  8. England 0-4 Australia

    Emma Smith
    BBC Sport at Wembley

    "Lewis taken out, Lewis taken out", was the immediate call by the journalists behind me in the press box during that attack for the opening try.

    But Jack Smith disagrees, and England trail.

    TRY - England 0-4 Australia

    Reece Walsh

    Mikey Lewis gets caught out defensively as Australia shift the ball left to Mark Nawaqanitawase and Reece Walsh scores the first points of the game.

  10. England 0-0 Australia

    Australia are on top when it comes to field position early doors. England have not really got any momentum.

  11. England 0-0 Australia

    Emma Smith
    BBC Sport at Wembley

    The crowd has quietened since the early fervour. This match has been one for the purists, and while it is good to have this game in London, this is not a seasoned rugby league fanbase.

    A tight, tense match probably suits England better though.

  12. England 0-0 Australia

    Tom Johnstone shows Kotoni Staggs the outside and then takes the Australia centre down.

  13. 'Young has been England's best'

    England 0-0 Australia

    Great recovery from Dom Young. He elected not to contest the ball, but that is a brilliant recovery. Young has been England's best in this game.

  14. England 0-0 Australia

    Dom Young lets Josh Addo-Carr take a high ball but then wraps up the Australia wing.

  15. England 0-0 Australia

    One or two groans from the Wembley crowd as Morgan Knowles knocks on early into England's set.

    The hosts have not got going yet with ball in hand.

  16. 'A let off for England'

    England 0-0 Australia

    Brian Noble
    Former Great Britain coach on BBC One

    Australia stripped England on the right edge. If Reece Walsh had executed his pass he would have got England. It's a let off for England.

  17. England 0-0 Australia

    A loose pass from Reece Walsh flies behind Josh Addo-Carr and straight into touch. Great chance for England to put some pressure on here.

  18. England 0-0 Australia

    A Nathan Cleary bomb is well held by Tom Johnstone under pressure near the England try line.

  19. England 0-0 Australia

    Emma Smith
    BBC Sport at Wembley

    That was not a popular call among the Wembley crowd by video referee Jack Smith (no relation).

    A reminder that we have English officials for today's game, with Australian referees in place next week at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
