    Try Scotland 7-3 Australiapublished at 22 mins

    Sione Tuipulotu

    Much better from Finn Russell as he bombs a huge kick into touch to set up a line-out. The ball is worked quickly to Sione Tuipulotu and the Scottish captain powers through a cluster of gold shirts to score.

    Russell adds the extras

    Off the post! Kinda sums up Scotland's day so far.

    Scotland 0-3 Australia

    A Scottish penalty is walked on 10 metres after some Aussie back-chat. A chance for Finn Russell to level.

    Scotland 0-3 Australia

    This first bout of silly pushing and shoving breaks out, with Australia full-back Tom Wright picking on Scotland scrum-half Ben White.

    Scotland 0-3 Australia

    Scotland haven't got going yet, with the error count mounting rapidly, and the Murrayfield crowd is very quiet.

    Scotland 0-3 Australia

    A first opportunity for Scotland to attack as Finn Russell prods a kick in behind the Aussie defence but the ball just bobbles out of play and out of reach of the chasing blue shirts.

    Scotland 0-3 Australia

    A gasp from the crowd as the giant Will Skelton swats Rory Darge out the way and the Scotland flanker is sent spinning back on his heels.

    Only being three points down is okay given the first 11 and a half minutes has been all Australia, both in possession and territory.

    Australia come again, making good yards, and Scotland cough up another penalty.

    My big worry is the breakdown.

    In international rugby, the breakdown is the one thing they have to get 100% right because that is where you win and lose games.

    Scotland 0-0 Australia

    The Aussies try to get their maul rumbling but Scotland stand firm and it's the diminutive Darcy Graham, who ferrets the ball away from the visitors.

    Scotland 0-0 Australia

    Australia make their way deep into Scotland territory thanks to a couple of penalties.

  14. 'Accuracy not quite there'published at 13:47 Greenwich Mean Time 24 November

    Former Glasgow Warriors back on BBC Radio Scotland

    Almost the key word there. It was a good execution of a play Scotland do a lot.

    On that occasion, the accuracy just wasn't quite there.

    Scotland 0-0 Australia

    Finn Russell tries to get something going, jinking into some daylight with a slight of hand, but then his attempted offload to Huw Jones is mis-timed.

  16. Postpublished at 4 mins

    Scotland 0-0 Australia

    A lot of kicking back and forth. Nothing to get the crowd warmed up.

  17. Postpublished at 13:42 Greenwich Mean Time 24 November

    Scotland 0-0 Australia

    The starting kick doesn't go the requisite distance but Scotland choose to go after it and are penalised for a knock-on.

    Things can only get better from here...

  18. Kick-offpublished at 13:40 Greenwich Mean Time 24 November

    Scotland 0-0 Australia

    A peep of the whistle from Irish referee Chris Busby and a nudge of the boot from Noah Lolesio and away we go.

  19. Fascinating try tusslepublished at 13:38 Greenwich Mean Time 24 November

    Scotland v Australia (13:40)

    Darcy Graham and Duhan van der Merwe are now tied as Scotland's all-time top try-scorers.

    Both are on 29.

    Who will be leading the way come full-time?
