Quick thinking from Jarome Luai.
There was nothing on and it was only the second tackle and he puts the ball on his foot to kick it.
Luai goes back against the line and sees the space behind the line and tucked it in behind.
Jeremiah Nanai (73 mins)
Yet more terrific rugby.
From the set restart, Jarome Luai threads the needle with a wonderful grubber kick - the eyes to see that play, magnificent. Jeremiah Nanai bursts through to score.
The kick is missed, meaning we don't quite have the same scoreline as the final result in Wigan.
England 34-12 Samoa
Samoa get a penalty after the ball is ripped from Jarome Luai, who nearly reached the line with a fine surge.
They aren't giving up at all. Now they have a set restart on the cusp of the England line.
England 34-12 Samoa
Every time Samoa have landed a blow on England, England have hit Samoa twice or thrice in return.
It has been a performance of purpose and quality by Shaun Wane's men, who have been superior in almost every way against very good opponents.

Herbie Farnworth is a cute cookie. Farnworth goes in and makes his own space.
He picked off the tight defenders and beats them with speed, footwork and knowledge.
Jack Welsby is smart enough to follow him up the middle.
Jack Welsby (67 mins)
Image source, SWpixThat will be that, I reckon.
Herbie Farnworth has been the best player on the park today and he's too good for Samoa again as he slaloms between four or so players.
He could take on Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and try to get a hat-trick - but instead he takes the fullback out the picture by laying off to the charging England number one, Jack Welsby.
England up to six tries today, that will be more than enough. Harry Smith adds the conversion.
England 28-12 Samoa
Image source, SWpixSamoa are not going to die wondering in this game. Every phase of play is being engaged with passionately, with full blood.
A steepling Jarome Luai kick is well taken by Liam Marshall.
England 28-12 Samoa
Samoa try to run it from try line to try line, and they make such a good fist of it particularly in the fifth phase - some truly ambitious passing.
Ultimately, Deine Mariner is poleaxed five yards from the England line. That could have been one of the tries of the year.

What I like about this England team is their half-backs have no problem in setting up plays.
At the moment they are playing the right passes at the right moment.

Junior Nsemba must have been sure he was going to score a try on England debut as he skips two tackles.
But the third, from Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, is phenomenal. He locks Nsemba's legs together and brings him down inches from the line.
Samoa are just, just in this game still.

An attendance of 16,068 is inside Headingley this afternoon.
That is the biggest crowd for an England game outside of the World Cup since 2018, when they played New Zealand.

TV cameras catch Samoan coach Ben Gardiner looking very concerned on the touchline.
His side have looked excellent in five-minute bursts all game, but England have the consistency and pure power.
A Liam Marshall kick turns Samoa around, and the visitors have to take a drop-out.

It came down to one player beating three. He's world class is this kid, Herbie Farnworth. Absolutely world-class. He's exciting every time he touches the ball. I think that will burst the Samoa balloon.

Herbie Farnworth is so strong and so quick. What can't he do? He has shown it all year in the NRL and now he's showing it on the international stage.
This man Farnworth has everything to do, but no-one is going to stop him from there as he goes back against the grain.
Herbie Farnworth (54 mins)
'Pure class!' - Farnworth muscles his way through to score try
Herbie Farnworth, you dancer.
A high kick to the left is spilled by Jeral Skelton and England gather the remains. Herbie Farnworth is teed up, sells three Samoan defenders with a slow steep then brings in a burst of speed to smoke the rest over five yards and reach the line.
Stunning try, best of the day so far.
Harry Smith adds the extras. England lead by 16 with 25 minutes to play.
England 22-12 Samoa
Samoa have made 50 more tackles than England in this game so far. Will that expended energy prove crucial?
They have to make even more as Jack Welsby bursts towards the line. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck doing brilliantly to hold him back.
England 22-12 Samoa
Jarome Luai asks a big question with a floating kick towards a crowd of blue down the Samoa left, near the England line.
Jack Welsby has the perfect answer with a well-taken, mid-air catch.
England 22-12 Samoa
Luke Thompson almost bludgeons his way to a try, but is held up under the posts.
In the final phase, George Williams looks for the grubber kick but gets it all wrong, sending the ball bouncing into touch.

I love coming to Headingley. I think it's such a great setting for rugby league. But I wish that bloke with that drum, that they'd take him down Kirkstall Road and set him walking, because he gets on my nerves.
