    New Zealand really knocking on the England door now.

    This Beauden Barrett is a decent player - might go far.

    Two great pieces of skill, a deft pick up, then a chip ahead and a kick on, before he spoils it with a knock on. England are clinging on, then they concede a penalty in front of the posts.

    What a great lesson for all young rugby players from Mark Tele'a - patience and the discipline to stay in your position. He kept the width, he didn't move at all.

    Beauden Barrett is not a young man but his acceleration is second to none.

    England have just dipped a bit in the last few minutes, and now they need to get back to the impressive levels of that middle 20-60 minutes period.

    Damian McKenzie misses a tough conversion, but Barrett (B) has made a huge difference since coming on, the hosts are energised and even the crowd have woken up.

    Beauden Barrett races into the 22, finds his winger with a short one and Mark Tele'a dives in just inside the left corner flag.

    Frank: All Blacks are rattled here and crowd disgraceful jeering the kicker. The fortress is crumbling!

    Andrew: The All Blacks are missing the calmness, discipline and organisation of greats like Whitelock and Retallick at the lineout.

    The All Blacks have brough on their supersub, and straight away they look to be lifted, kicking on to put England under pressure at a lineout deep in their 22.

    For a microsecond, it looks like Mark Tele’a has taken a stray pass and has the chance to race in from halfway....but we are dragged back by referee Nic Berry for an England scrum on the centre spot.

    Then Marcus Smith chips a rolling, bouncing bomb of a kick to three metres from the flag.

    It's really, really good from England - but they have too many in the lineout and the hosts kick clear. Chance wasted.

    Jamie George is made for these moments. He is the skipper, he wants to be there until the bitter end. He will be the one continuing to inspire, lead and calm his troops.

    It's so good and so refreshing to have a team that when they get the ball in hand, they want to go forward.

    And doesn't Feyi-Waboso look good?! He makes a break pretty much every time he gets his hands on the ball.

    Just for a moment it looks like Immanuel Feyi-Waboso may have a chance, with a weaving run in from the right after an offload from Freddie Steward. There's a knock-on and from the scrum another delicate Smith chip is too far ahead of Tommy Freeman - still, good work from England in the opposition's 22.

  13. Replacementpublished at 49 mins

    Dan Cole replaces Will Stuart, and moves past the great Jason Leonard to become England's second most-capped male player.

    Theo Dan, who has also just come on, has taken a knock to the head and has also gone off to be checked over.

    So captain Jamie George is back on very quickly...

    It's Test rugby of the highest quality.

    Both teams are making mistakes but it's because the pressure that's being put on.

    The game is on a knife edge and it's been on a knife edge all series.

    The fly half lands it with ease and the lead is stretched to four points.

    Marcus Smith loses the ball in the tackle, but England get a penalty as Dalton Papali’i takes out Henry Slade off the ball. A great chance to extend the lead, just to the left of the posts.

    England rumble infield, but pressure from Mark Tele'a forces Jamie George to knock on. Fine work from a winger on a hooker.

    It sounds a bit subdued in Eden Park, they are not used to seeing their team being equalled or bested at this famous venue.

    England are dictating this early phase, and have a lineout deep into the New Zealand 22.

    Both England tries have come from the attacking kicking strategy.

    They've shown resilience mentally and physically, a fascinating first half.

    We thought they might have spurned too many opportunities in the New Zealand 22 but they've found a way to get back in.

    This is exactly what they would have written; in front at half-time, a quiet crowd, the game plan working - brilliant stuff from England.
