    Claudia MacDonald (con Aitchison)

    There they go! Marlie Packer whips the ball left and nobody is getting close to flying winger Claudia MacDonald. Fine finish, and another brilliant conversion too.

    I can hear them, they are still at it! Let's see if Scotland can give him something to really cheer about.

    England haven't found their tempo since the restart.

    A shouting match is going on behind me.

    It goes something like this. One will go, then the next guy.

    "Englanddddddd!"

    "Scotlandddddd!"

    And that has been repeated five times. I'll be honest, the Scotland lad is louder.

    A much better start to this half for Scotland as Evie Gallagher charges down a kick and wins her team the ball.

    There can be no questioning Scotland's effort rate so far, they are battling hard and strip the ball in a tackle but England have the put in at the scrum.

    The sun is starting to come out. Not that Scotland need conditions to improve...

    England eight Maddie Feaunati has taken a blow to the face and is bleeding so needs some treatment.

    Scotland last beat England in 1999. Just getting some points would be a start today.

    Claudia MacDonald was particularly impressive in that opening 40 for England.

    What on earth can Scotland coach Bryan Easson say during this interval?

    Earning his corn.

    England's leadership team would always gather on the pitch before heading down the tunnel.

    This time they did their debrief while walking off, which sums up the lack of errors that needed discussing.

    Utterly dominant!

    England were outstanding. You could see England's intent from the start.

    They were right in the face of the Scotland defence and are so difficult to stop.

    That's the best half I've seen from England in a long time. It was a very dominant first half.

    England's forwards are willing to take the hard carry and Lucy Packer at scrum-half is organising the team so well.

    Lark Atkin-Davies (con Aitchison)

    It's just relentless. England pick and go, the forwards fan out across the line and Scotland keep making tackles but there's always a player over.

    Hooker Lark Atkin-Davies eventually gets the ball a metre out and dives over, with her fly-half kicking immaculately once again.
