    Commentator on BBC One

    Repeat set to come from England. They don't have the try, but they can keep the pressure on!

  2. England 2-2 Australia

    Reece Walsh has made a few errors so far.

    Of course he does a few days after I wrote a positive feature about his talents.

  3. NO TRY

    England 2-2 Australia

    George Williams grubber kicked through, Reece Walsh fumbled on the slide and Morgan Knowles pounced.

    Knowles knocked it forward over the try line so no try, but the Walsh knock on came first so penalty England.

  4. TRY REVIEW - ENGLAND

    England 2-2 Australia

    England have the ball over the Aussie try line - however the decision on pitch is no try.

    But it goes to the video referee.

  5. 'Good defence and good communication'

    England 2-2 Australia

    Jonathan Davies
    Former Great Britain international on BBC One

    That's a great win for England.

    England number off and use touch as an extra defender.

    Good defence and good communication.

  6. England 2-2 Australia

    Steve Sutcliffe
    BBC Sport at Hill Dickinson Stadium

    Australia have barely got out of their half so far. The problem is that England have little to show for it on the scoreboard.

  7. England 2-2 Australia

    Australia get the ball through the hands for the first time in a while.

    But Josh Addo-Carr runs out of room on the left wing, and England celebrate a great defensive set.

  8. Get Involved

    England 2-2 Australia

    Already looks and sounds like this stadium is well suited for rugby league! Stands close to the pitch, team and fans spurring each other on. Just need to get over the line and capitalise on the momentum! Great first 15 minutes.

  9. England 2-2 Australia

    George Williams attempts a grubber but it is blocked off, the loose ball could bounce anywhere and England are fortunate to keep it in their possession.

    But Australia see off the latest attack.

  10. 'What a banger on Crichton'

    England 2-2 Australia

    Matt Newsum
    Commentator on BBC One

    What a banger on Angus Crichton. That is Test match football!

    England have Australia rattled.

  11. England 2-2 Australia

    A gigantic shot by Jez Litten on Angus Crichton!

    England are playing so, so much better today.

  12. England 2-2 Australia

    Out England go to the left, AJ Brimson getting involved for the first time.

    Argh, an unforced error by Morgan Knowles and he drops the ball. Chance lost.

  13. England 2-2 Australia

    No yellow for Reece Walsh, but a penalty to England right up near the Australian try line.

    A huge scoring chance here.

  14. 'Walsh with his body on the line'

    England 2-2 Australia

    James Graham
    Former England forward on BBC One

    Again, Reece Walsh with his body on the line. The defensive side of the game and that is what he is willing to do for his country and team-mates.

    Reece Walsh tackles Dom YoungSWpix

  15. England 2-2 Australia

    Reece Walsh has caught Dom Young around the head here.

    Could Australia's star man be heading for the sin bin?

  16. England 2-2 Australia

    England are the better side here.

    Great play by Herbie Farnworth, a clever underhand pass finds Dom Young - but he is denied right in the corner by the flying Reece Walsh.

    Was it a high tackle? The officials are taking a look...

  17. England 2-2 Australia

    Mike McMeeken is making the most of coming into the England team today, he bumps off an attempted tackle. He's been well involved so far.

    Tom Johnstone is nearly found with a high kick to the left wing, but Mark Nawaqanitawase does very well to cut it out.

  18. 'England were lucky'

    England 2-2 Australia

    Jonathan Davies
    Former Great Britain international on BBC One

    England were lucky there as they forget Dom Young was off. Reece Walsh saw the numbers straight away.

  19. England 2-2 Australia

    Matt Newsum
    Commentator on BBC One

    England have certainly come to play!

  20. England 2-2 Australia

    England have their tails up, and a steepling Harry Smith kick puts Australia right back in their defensive area.

    Australia try to run the ball back, but Reece Walsh - the man of the match last week - throws a loose forward pass to the delight of the home crowd.
