  1. Full-time - England 20-29 South Africa

    The ball is ripped and Cobus Reinach sends it dead. That will be that.

  2. England 20-29 South Africa

    England need two scores and Freddie Steward sends it into the stands. Two scores in a minute is probably impossible.

  3. England 20-29 South Africa

    Handre Pollard drops into the pocket, but his drop-goal attempt drifts wide.

    Still time for England, just...

  4. 'Randall has a huge responsibility'

    Harry Randall has to get a grip of this last five minutes. He is doing his job in passing and getting to the rucks but he is not managing the players around him. There is no direction and he should be in the middle. He has a huge responsibility and he needs to step up.

  5. England 20-29 South Africa

    South Africa opt to send kickable penalty into England's 22.

  6. England 20-29 South Africa

    Chris Ashton
    Former England wing on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Some of the hits going in there from South Africa! England have nowhere to go, they are getting battered back.

    There is nothing wrong with this England team, apart from the top two inches.

  8. England 20-29 South Africa

    Vincent Koch is next to win a penalty to stop England's attack. You shall not pass! Incredible defence again.

  9. England 20-29 South Africa

    Ollie Lawrence is melted by Jesse Kriel in the tackle and it is another penalty in their own 22 for the Springboks.

  10. England 20-29 South Africa

    Luke Cowan-Dickie redeems himself with a turnover. Another penalty kicked into the corner.

  11. England 20-29 South Africa

    Luke Cowan-Dickie is pinged for a dummy throw. Again, South Africa off the hook.

  12. England 20-29 South Africa

    Another penalty at the line-out. This time there is no card. Big maul incoming from the hosts.

  13. Sin-bin - South Africa (Gerhard Steenekamp)

    England 20-29 South Africa

    Gerhard Steenekamp is sent to the sin-bin for a line-out infringement. Back England go into South Africa's 22.

  14. England 20-29 South Africa

    The ball is spilled and Cheslin Kolbe clears the pressure for the world champions with a mega clearance. He has stepped up with another huge play.

  15. England 20-29 South Africa

    England fire the ball into South Africa's 22 from a penalty. A try now is essential.

  16. 'There is still plenty of time'

    England 20-29 South Africa

    Matt Dawson
    2003 World Cup winner on BBC Radio 5 Live

    England are set and in a brilliant white wall but someone is just out of sync and you cannot be missing tackles and diving ahead of the line.

    There is still plenty of time left and England know they have to be controlled.

  17. try

    Converted try - England 20-29 South Africa

    Cheslin Kolbe (con Handre Pollard)

    Big tries, big players.

    Damian de Allende powers through Ben Earl and Henry Slade. The ball then finds the finishing-machine Cheslin Kolbe, who does what he does.

    Handre Pollard nails it from the touchline. Two-score game.

  18. England 20-22 South Africa

    Freddie Steward has his arm pulled down by Cheslin Kolbe. Henry Slade smashes the penalty long into South Africa's 22.

    Both Cobus Reinach and Harry Randall are on.

  19. Penalty - England 20-22 South Africa

    Handre Pollard

    Off the crossbar and over. What a kick! Does that man feel nerves?

  20. England 20-19 South Africa

    Will Stuart is pinged for going off his feet. Here we go, Handre Pollard from basically halfway.
