    Henry: Don’t think we have had the ball in their half all half. Zero attacking platform. Really uninspiring second half. Another Six Nations, another third or fourth-placed finish incoming.

    Ireland 20-10 England

    Ireland are chipping away at the England line again but the visitors manage to win a penalty through Tom Curry, who has been superb tonight.

    Ireland 20-10 England

    Huge moment! That's possibly the loudest roar of the night!

    It's kicked through and Cadan Murley tries to watch it into the in goal area.

    Instead of touching it down, he is smothered by James Lowe and Hugo Keenan, and bundled into touch.

    That was a big error.

    England have been here before. Their fringe defence was picked off during the autumn and once again their get their numbers wrong - James Lowe bursting between a gap between Chandler Cunningham-South and Tom Curry - to ship a try.

    They have a habit of fading fast in the final 20. They will need to dramatically reverse that now if they are to take something from this match.

    The questions won't get any easier for Steve Borthwick either. A defeat would take his winning percentage as England coach south of 50%, with only wins over Japan since last year's Six Nations.

    England are all over the show here.

    They give away a free-kick for closing at the line-out, and then can't gather Crowley's high kick.

    Harry Randall settles things down with a good clearing kick, but England need to reset.

    Jamison Gibson-Park does well to drag Ellis Genge in. Chandler Cunningham-South opened the hole.

    That all came from that hit on Hugo Keenan by Cunningham-South. The penalties have cost England in the second half.

    Can England respond?

    Converted Try - Ireland 20-10 Englandpublished at 18:20 Greenwich Mean Time

    Tadhg Beirne (con Crowley)

    TADHG BEIRNE FOR IRELAND!

    James Lowe spots a gap and goes racing through. He has options left and right, and opts for Beirne and the big forward crosses unchallenged!

    Jack Crowley lands the conversion.

    Hugo Keenan is caught in the air by Cunningham-South and James Lowe takes exception to it.

    Jack Crowley sends the ball into the English half.

    Iain Henderson is on for James Ryan, who is sporting a big bushy beard in this Six Nations.

    For those earlier England subs, Olie Chessum and Chandler Cunningham-South have entered the fray.

    Ireland look to move it quickly from the line out but Caelan Doris makes an uncharacteristic error and knocks it on and he looked to break the line.

    Easterby had his head in his hands. He knew that was a chance.

    England win the throw but Ireland manage to snatch possession.

    It's sent down field and Freddie Steward can't nail his clearance, and Ireland will have the throw just outside the 22.

    Ireland 13-10 England

    We're into the final 20 minutes and England have the ball just inside their own half.

    Alex Mitchell kicks is straight down the throat of Crowley, who pops it to James Lowe.

    But it's a big mistake from the wing as he thumps it straight into touch.

    England, who have just emptied the bench, have the throe in a promising position.

    Jack Crowley has 20 minutes to get himself back into that 10 shirt and show his recent form.

    With Tadhg Furlong injured and Tom O'Toole suspended before this one kicked off, Finlay Bealham's forced departure means Ireland are down to their fourth choice tight-head.

    What a 20 minutes in store for Thomas Clarkson!

  16. Replacement - Crowley onpublished at 18:13 Greenwich Mean Time

    Ireland 13-10 England

    Sam Prendergast is off for Jack Crowley.

    He helped Ireland see out a win in Dublin over Australia. Can he repeat that today?

    Thomas Clarkson is on for Bealham, who can't continue.

    Robbie Henshaw does really well to beat George Martin to the ball in the 22.

    Play is stopped as Finlay Bealham is receiving treatment right beside the ruck.

    A big cheer goes around the Aviva Stadium as the home crowd's favourite Englishman - Andy Farrell - is shown on the big screens.

    The Ireland coach, currently on Lions secondment, is watching the action from an executive box. Taking notes and taking names ahead of the summer tour of Australia.

    Who will come out of this one in credit?

    England have the ball just outside the Irish 22.

    Only three points in it, remember, so this is anyone's game.
