  1. England 4-14 Australia

    So, what can England do in the next 25 minutes.

    It feels like the air has been punched out of the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

  2. 'Sucker punch for England'

    The kick play wasn't dealt with and Hudson Young races in to score.

    Sucker punch for England.

    TRY - England 4-14 Australia

    Hudson Young (53 mins), Goal Cleary

    This one stings.

    A hopeful cross-field kick by Nathan Cleary, the ball ricochets out of the hands of Tom Johnstone as he attempts to catch and it arcs perfectly into the arms of Hudson Young who crosses to score.

    Cleary this time makes the kick, and the gap is 10 points.

  4. England 4-8 Australia

    A blow for England, but they are still in this game.

    However, as they did at Wembley, Australia have got better after the interval.

  5. England 4-8 Australia

    Steve Sutcliffe
    BBC Sport at Hill Dickinson Stadium

    That all came from an England mistake down their left. The hosts need to cut out those sorts of errors if they are to have any chance of turning this Test match and series around.

  6. 'Munster runs behind Crichton'

    England 4-8 Australia

    James Graham
    Former England forward on BBC One

    We can all see that Cameron Munster runs behind Angus Crichton there. In the NRL whenever that happens the play becomes dead and the ball carrying person lays down and takes the tackle.

  7. England 4-8 Australia

    Cameron Munster may have also run around Angus Crichton in the build up to the try. Should that have been called offside?

    Another refereeing decision to be dissected later.

  8. 'Momentum is now with Australia'

    Former Great Britain international on BBC One

    Sam Tomkins has his hands on his head. England are putting themselves under pressure. Momentum is now with Australia.

  9. try

    TRY - England 4-8 Australia

    Cameron Munster (49 mins)

    No, there was enough momentum to take Munster over the line.

    Nathan Cleary doesn't add the extra two points though, as the ball bounces off the crossbar. England still in strike range.

  10. England 4-4 Australia

    Cameron Munster was able to run around his man, and despite a last gasp tackle by George Williams the momentum slides him over the line.

    But was there a second movement while he was on the ground?

  11. TRY REVIEW

    England 4-4 Australia

    Cameron Munster slips through a tackle and appears to have the ball grounded.

    It goes to the video referee, but this looks like a try.

  12. England 4-4 Australia

    Another loose pass by England gives possession back to Australia in the home half.

    England have not been as sharp so far in this half as they were in the first.

  13. England 4-4 Australia

    Australia have England backed right up against their own try line, Reuben Cotter very close to breaking through.

    But the white wall stands strong.

  14. England 4-4 Australia

    Alex Walmsley drops the ball under pressure and it hands Australia a scrum.

    This could be a game won by the team who better holds their nerve.

  15. England 4-4 Australia

    James Graham
    Former England forward on BBC One

    England let the ball bounce and now a miscommunication from Australia. Luck wasn't on our side at that moment.

  16. England 4-4 Australia

    Jonathan Davies
    Former Great Britain international on BBC One

    You can't allow the ball to bounce. There are three players there and that could have gone anywhere.

  17. England 4-4 Australia

    Now Australia allow an England sky kick to bounce!

    Defensive errors all over the place. Nerves on show?

  18. England 4-4 Australia

    A bit of Australia cleverness - a shallow kick catches England out and Nathan Cleary is able to volley a grubber through to turn the defenders around.

    Tom Johnstone does well to clean up, but that was poor from England.

  19. England 4-4 Australia

    Kai Pearce-Paul immediately makes a line break and two Australians have to bring him down.

    England starting on the front foot again.

  20. 'Aussies are rusty'

    England 4-4 Australia

    Sam Burgess
    Former England captain on BBC One

    The Aussies are definitely rusty today. For England, we must be brave.
