    Smart work from Mark Tele'a after Rieko Ioane sucks in a few defenders, the winger picks up. and darts around the edge to just dive in by the left corner flag. Damian McKenzie pots a difficult kick from the touchline and England are behind.

    Cool as you like from Marcus Smith as he collects a bouncing kick behind the posts, but rather than hoof it he runs out at the All Blacks before clearing.

    But then Will Stuart concedes a penalty at a scrum on halfway - the hosts kick into the 22.

    There were acres of space but the last person you want to see when there's room in front of you is the hooker! He dreamed about it but Codie Taylor did not have the pace.

    England get the first scrum in the New Zealand half, and they get a shove on at the 10 metre line. Marcus Smith tries a drop goal that is nearer the corner flag than the posts - to a few boos from the crowd.

    A fine take by Scott Barrett to begin with, then it's a minute of back and forth as the All Blacks kick almost to the try line. Freddie Steward runs it back and Ben Earl then chips it ahead to the 22 after racing down the flank.

    What an occasion, just amazing. I was there in 2017 when the Lions played that third Test.

    It is an amazing place and the record is extraordinary, it spans from amateur to professional.

    Does it ever weigh heavy on the All Blacks? You don't want to be the team that loses it.

    An amazing opportunity for England to have a free hit at the spiritual home of the All Blacks.

    The anthems are done, and the All Blacks are laying down the challenge with the haka led by Codie Taylor.

    England have faced it by lining up just back of halfway in a single line - no arrowheads or getting up close and personal this time.

    We're all set!

    New Zealand is uncharted territory for many players in this young England squad. The majority had never visited the country before this tour, let alone played rugby here.

    But for flanker Chandler Cunningham-South, it has been a case of coming back to his second home.

    "I was concerned how he would feel, coming home and facing the haka," said his mum Caroline over a coffee in Auckland.

    "But he was prepared and he knew he had made the right decision."

    The 21-year-old, reflecting on the first Test in Dunedin, added: "It was very cool. I felt very proud to be playing for England here in New Zealand."

    This is the final match of a long, long season for England.

    Eleven months have passed since Steve Borthwick's side lost three of their four games during a stuttering build-up for the Rugby World Cup, the low point being a first-ever home defeat by Fiji.

    Since then, England have finished third in the World Cup, put in a creditable Six Nations showing and produced further impressive displays in Japan and New Zealand.

    Jamie George, who was named England captain midway through the campaign, told the BBC's Rugby Union Daily podcast: "If you think about the Fiji game at Twickenham all those months ago, the journey this team has been on and the sort of trajectory we're looking like we're going on now has been huge and [it has been] a rollercoaster of a year.

    "The World Cup, the disappointment against South Africa [in the semi-final], a huge win at home against Ireland and running France close - we put our hands up to win that Six Nations.

    "Going to Eden Park and winning this weekend would cap off an amazing year for English rugby very nicely."

  17. Why Eden Park is New Zealand's fortresspublished at 07:46 British Summer Time 13 July

    On a wall at the south-west corner of Eden Park is a mural by the American street artist WRDSMTH.

    It depicts a couple embracing along with the words: "This is a perfect spot to fall in love."

    For the past 30 years, the All Blacks' opponents would strongly disagree.

    There are many treacherous places to visit in international rugby; Ellis Park in Johannesburg, France's Stade de France and Ireland's Aviva Stadium have all been formidable venues in recent years.

    In the 1980s, the Parc des Princes in Paris was a graveyard for touring teams, as was Ballymore in Brisbane in the 1990s. At the turn of the century, no-one used to win at Twickenham.

    But none of these even come close to the record New Zealand hold at Eden Park in Auckland.

    Since 1921, only 10 losses. A winning record of nearly 90%. And no defeat since the French went to the other end of the world in 1994. A run of 48 matches unbeaten.

    New Zealand are aiming to extend their unbeaten run at Eden Park to 49 games today.

    "We can feel New Zealand's support here in Auckland and we will hear it at a sold-out Eden Park," head coach Scott Robertson said.

    "It's a very special venue to the All Blacks and we're going there on Saturday to win the series against England."

    Their only change is at scrum-half, where Finlay Christie replaces the injured TJ Perenara.

    New Zealand v England (08:05 BST)

    New Zealand's 30 years without defeat at Eden Park has been spoken about a lot in the build-up to this second Test, but England head coach Steve Borthwick believes that will not be a factor for his team.

    "The record at Eden Park is New Zealand's, not ours," Borthwick told BBC Sport. "Our job is to go and play as well as we possibly can.

    "The last time England were here was 10 years ago. I asked the players where they were 10 years ago, and one or two were still at primary school," he joked.

    "The history is not a factor for this team. What is [a factor] is the present. Let's make sure we take care of the present, and if we do that, the future of this team will be where we want it to be."

    England have made two injury-enforced changes for the second Test in Auckland.

    Joe Marler (foot) and George Furbank (pictured, back) were ruled out during the build-up.

    Fin Baxter will make his first international start in the front row after impressing from the bench on debut last weekend, while Freddie Steward is in at full-back.
