    Tommy Freeman (con Smith)

    Tommy Freeman, with blood dripping out his nose, spots a gap and crosses for England!

    Smith converts. England have their losing bonus-point and that will be that.

    Ireland 27-15 England

    England are still pressing. Another try would give them a losing bonus-point.

    They win a penalty, and it's sent into the Irish 22. One last chance with the clock in the red.

    Ireland have been stronger in every department in this second half, while England have wilted. Is it too early to start thinking about the Grand Slam...

    Ireland are back to business in the England 22. They're looking to finish this one on a high.

    Jack Conan tries to bundle his way over in the corner but Cadan Murley manages to get him into touch with an interesting tackle technique.

    Oh dear. It was a nice try but that sums up England's second half as Marcus Smith sends a simple conversion well wide.

    Much to the delight of the Dublin crowd.

    Try - Ireland 27-15 Englandpublished at 18:34 Greenwich Mean Time

    Tom Curry

    Late hope for England? Tom Curry gets a well-deserved try!

    Ollie Lawrence sets Murley off on his bike down the wing. It's inside to Curry, who was never going to be stopped from close range.

    England look like they are out on their feet. Ireland are the opposite. That is what momentum does.

    This has been some turnaround from Ireland.

    After struggling to get to grips with the English gameplan in the first half, few would have been predicting a bonus-point win.

    There were certainly signs they were coming into this one more as it wore on but they've really stepped it up a gear after the turn, ruthlessly exploiting England's inability to number up around the ruck and getting their biggest carriers on the ball more and more.

    England, meanwhile, have flagged again.

    Jamison Gibson-Park is named player of the match. Few will disagree.

    This is getting ugly for England. The Ireland fans are alternating between choruses of Fields of Athenry and ironic cheering of England mistakes.

    Steve Borthwick once again has found he is firing blanks off the bench. For whatever reason, depth of talent, conditioning or a gameplan that demands too much of his men, the game has slipped away from his side fast in the second half.

    No points and a whole lot of pain.

    We're into the final five minutes in Dublin and the hosts are well on their to a big win in Dublin.

    The men in green are being serenaded by the crowd. They've enjoyed this second half.

    Same old rubbish from England. Borthwick has to go.

    Cadan Murley's dream Six Nations debut has developed into a bit of a nightmare. He drops the ball but Ben O'Keefe adjudges it went backwards as the wing's blushes are spared.

    What a finish by Dan Sheehan. He has just come back from an ACL injury. World-class!

    Converted Try - Ireland 27-10 Englandpublished at 18:29 Greenwich Mean Time

    Dan Sheehan (con Crowley)

    BONUS-POINT IRELAND!

    It started and ended with Dan Sheehan, who feeds Jack Conan who powers into acres of space.

    Ireland work it wide, James Lowe beats Tommy Freeman and sticks it inside for Sheehan, who stretches out to dot the ball down.

    It's converted by Crowley, and Ireland are flying!

    We're into the final 10 minutes.

    Will we see an England fightback or will Ireland see this one out?

    Remember, Ireland need one more try for the bonus-point.
