  1. New Zealand 12-22 England

    England are pushed hard from the off and nearly lose the ball in a dangerous area but it's knocked on by a black shirt. Tatyana Heard did well to keep hold when given a bit of a hospital pass.

  2. Kick-off

    New Zealand 12-22 England

    Here we go again!

  3. London, Sunderland, Brighton, Bristol, Exeter, Northampton, Manchester, York.

    What do they have in common? They are all hosting games in next year's World Cup, of course.

  4. New Zealand 12-22 England

    Helena Rowland only landed one out of four conversions in the first half for England. Could those missed points yet prove costly?

  5. Remember that England average 49 points a game this year. Even against the best they can pile it on.

  6. Half-time

    New Zealand 12-22 England

    What a half!

    Six tries in it and England lead by 10.

  7. try

    Try - New Zealand 12-22 England

    Ellie Kildunne

    Brilliant hands! Captain Marlie Packer is kept out no more than six inches from the line, England whip it left to Jess Breach in the corner, she could squeeze in herself but instead flicks it first-time back inside to Ellie Kildunne and she's over!

  8. New Zealand 12-17 England

    Tatyana Heard is back on for England and no sooner is she in the middle then she's folded like a deckchair. HUGE hit that draws gasps from the crowd.

    England regather though and win a penalty of their own.

  9. New Zealand 12-17 England

    What a half this has been from arguably the best two sides in the world.

    Try - New Zealand 12-17 England

    Ayesha Leti-I'iga

    England make a mess of clearing a kick into touch, NZ can recycle and when Ruahei Demant floats a pass out to wing Ayesha Leti-I'iga she makes no error in converting.

    Transmission is still a bit sketchy but here come New Zealand...

    I have two bits of excellent news for you all.

    1. The live stream is back working again and
    2. You can now watch in this very page. Just press 'Watch live' above.

  13. England have played so well in the last few minutes that they have broken the stream.

    We have a temporary fault in our pictures - apologies for that and I'm sure we'll be back on track asap.

  14. try

    Try - New Zealand 7-17 England

    Ellie Kildunne

    That error is punished!

    England wheel the scrum and spin the ball out to the right, there's a huge hole for Ellie Kildunne to sprint into and the world's leading try scorer this year doesn't pass up on those.

    Eat her dust.

  15. New Zealand 7-12 England

    Big error. Huge.

    Ellie Kildunne hoists a kick up high right into the sun and NZ wing Maia Joseph shells a simple catch and knocks on.

    England will have a scrm on the 22 line and they've already shown their power.

  16. New Zealand 7-12 England

    Risk/reward! England scrum half Natasha Hunt goes on her own, she's nearly in for a try but instead she gets isolated and the ball is turned over. The NZ defenders scream as one.

  17. New Zealand 7-12 England

    Behold the power of England's pack, they marmalise a scrum and force New Zealand back 20 metres before the whole thing collapses. Sensational.

  18. New Zealand 7-12 England

    England win two penalties in quick succession allowing Holly Aitchison to kick into the 22. Can New Zealand defend their line this time?

    They can, a grubber kick in behind goes dead.

  19. New Zealand 7-12 England

    England seem to have stemmed that early Black Ferns pressure which was constant from the kick-off. They are now forcing errors and winning turnovers, taking the pace and sting out of things.

  20. Replacement

    New Zealand 7-12 England

    An early change for England as centre Tatyana Heard takes a knock. On comes the immensely experienced Emily Scarratt.
