    Referee Grant Atkins: "He only has eyes for the man"

  2. England 4-14 Australia

    The pundits say Walsh should not have been sin-binned, I say he should.

    What does Jonathan Davies know about rugby anyway?

    (That's a joke, please don't shout at me)

  3. SIN-BIN - Australia

    England 4-14 Australia

    That is brilliant defence by Addo-Carr, and horribly dirty by Reece Walsh. He knew exactly what he was doing there.

    Walsh is sin binned for deliberately making contact with Dom Young in the air.

    Again, it will be interesting to see what the referee comes up with. It is great defence again.

  6. England 4-14 Australia

    Josh Addo-Carr brilliantly nips the ball away from Dom Young as he was about to catch it. Young was then cleared out by Reece Walsh which caused the ruck.

    The video referee is looking at this.

  7. England 4-14 Australia

    England have their toes on the Australian line, can they cross it?

    George Williams chip kicks... Dom Young clattered in the air!

    And we have another melee.

  8. England 4-14 Australia

    This has to go for England.

    Jake Wardle is stopped yards from the line, England go again - and an Australian offside hands the home side a penalty.

  9. England 4-14 Australia

    A mistake by Angus Crichton, knocking on when tackled. Half a chance for England, with the ball in midfield.

    And they get a set restart.

  10. Get Involved

    England 4-14 Australia

    To even compete with Australia, England have to play at 100%, 100% of the time. Australia in contrast always have at least three extra gears to call upon. It’s just another level of rugby league.

  11. England 4-14 Australia

    Herbie Farnworth tackles Reece Walsh in the air, and is lucky to avoid a sin bin.

    Time trickles away for England.

    As it stands, the Ashes his heading back down under.

    The Australian line speed has gone up a bit more. They have the freedom to spot as they have 10 points on England.

  14. England 4-14 Australia

    Mark Nawaqanitawase has been a target whenever Nathan Cleary kicks, and here he outjumps Tom Johnstone right in the corner.

    This time, the bounce of the ball falls in England's favour.

  15. England 4-14 Australia

    Australia are suddenly playing at double speed in defence.

    A brilliant tackle by Nathan Cleary stops Mikey Smith dead. After a quiet game last week, Cleary has been the Kangaroos' best player so far today.

  16. England 4-14 Australia

    It is like someone has turned the volume down in the crowd.

    England must do something quickly to rouse their supporters, and keep themselves in this series.

    There is a long way left in this game. England have got to keep on going.

  19. Get Involved

    England 4-14 Australia

    Unfortunately this is exactly what Australia do. Soak up all the pressure, let you think you have a chance, then hit you with back to back tries and suddenly you’re playing catch up.

    A great kick from Nathan Cleary inviting Tino Fa'asuamaleaui into the contest. A few England players stop for a moment.
