    England need to keep in this contest as eventually Australia will tire. This is Test match rugby and you need to be desperate, but you will pay a price for that later on.

    England 2-4 Australia

    Again England come forward, again George Williams with a testing kick - well taken under pressure by Mark Nawaqanitawase.

    Australia have been excellent in defence so far.

    Again, what a kick and what a chase. That is what pressure is. No easy yardage.

    England 2-4 Australia

    A massive kick puts Australia under pressure right in the corner - and Kai Pearce-Paul picks it up!

    He lays off to Morgan Knowles who is stopped just, JUST before the line.

    England deserve a try, but can they find one?

    Whenever England have had to defend today, they have swarmed their men and stuck to their guns.

    Reece Walsh is then caught late by Harry Smith as he kicks after the fifth tackle. Smith maybe lucky to avoid a penalty there.

    Wow. Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, I have not seen him ever be dominated like that. He is one of the very best in the NRL. England came for him.

    Australia charge forwards - but under pressure, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui knocks on.

    Justice for England, and they celebrate.

    Are you joking? Are you joking? At what level of rugby league has that been a knock on. That is disgraceful.

    England 2-4 Australia

    Dom Young doesn't lose control of the ball, but because he moved the ball from one hand to the other that is judged a knock on.

    That is a baffling decision.

    Captain's Challenge - Englandpublished at 27 mins

    England 2-4 Australia

    A knock on by Dom Young, and high fives all round from Australia.

    But George Williams invokes his Captain's Challenge, so this will be reviewed.

    "At least this feels like a proper Test match" a colleague has just uttered in front of me in the press box.

    Shaun Wane had promised that in the week from his England team and they have not disappointed so far, even if they are narrowly behind.

  13. 'England have to be wary'published at 15:07 GMT 1 November

    The difference is Australia have come down the pitch and come away with two points. England are in this game, but they have to be wary of the Australians.

    Why do I have a feeling that after all the pressure from England, Australia are about to hit us with a sucker punch?

  15. PENALTY - England 2-4 Australiapublished at 15:06 GMT 1 November

    Nathan Cleary (25 mins)

    Pinged through the posts, and somehow Australia lead this match.

    England 2-2 Australia

    Australia launch an attack, and Morgan Smithies gives away a penalty for going under the knees of Cameron Munster in his tackle.

    Australia penalty and they will kick to retake the lead.

    Very close there from England. Brilliant from Herbie Farnworth. He is a creator when nothing is happening. An inch perfect kick and Dom Young was so close.

    England 2-2 Australia

    England have had so many chances and dominated the play - but they have no tries to show for it.

    They need to make hay while the sun shines.

  19. NO TRYpublished at 23 mins

    England 2-2 Australia

    Dom Young got his fingertips to the ball, but there was not enough control to call that a try.

    Reece Walsh did just enough.

  20. TRY REVIEW - ENGLANDpublished at 15:02 GMT 1 November

    England 2-2 Australia

    Herbie Farnworth with another grubber kick through, Reece Walsh thinks he shepherded it out but Dom Young thinks he got a slight touch for a try.

    Another video ref call. On the field, the decision is again no try.
