The French coaches will be fuming.

Fabien Galthie and Shaun Edwards will be pacing around sweating profusely in that changing room - they will want to give their boys a rocket.

France are looking dangerous and we have gone through plenty of examples where they should score tries.

France's pattern is causing issues for England.

England are defending like their lives depend on it.

Possession is back to 45%-55% in France's favour after it was 30%-70% earlier in the half.

England have managed to regain control of this one and took their chance when it came.

Steve Borthwick's side against top-four sides are used to being in the game at half-time.

After 60 minutes is when it has gone wrong. As Mike says, will more experience help this time?

A nice moment as the two teams came off.

England loose-head prop Ellis Genge was chewing the ear of the referee Nika Amashukeli about the deficiencies in opposite number Uini Atonio's scrummage technique, only for a grinning Atonio to loom behind the pair and throw a matey arm over Genge's shoulders.

England keeping pace with the favourites at the half-way stage. We have seen this before though. It will be interesting to see when Steve Borthwick pulls the cord on Elliot Daly and Jamie George, who have brought some gristled experience to the bench.

There are some tired bodies. Week two of the Six Nations and this has been 100mph.

Never mind pick-and-go, driving mauls - not a chance.

This confrontational, skilful, wide and frenetic.

France have played brilliant rugby.

They should have 21 points on the board, but here they are under pressure.

All square. This game is up for grabs.

France opt against running it from deep as Matthieu Jalibert smashes it clear.

They tended to run at every opportunity this half.

France are taking just as much water as England - they're sucking the air out of Allianz Stadium.

When you're exhausted you start making silly decisions.

Rope-a-dope, but I'm not sure who Muhammad Ali is in this fight.

France are on the floor - they're shattered.

England have pounced at the right time and they've taken the opportunity.

Does it go forward? Ollie Lawrence dots down.

You have got to take these chances if you're England.

England have got the players to do it. When they get down in the French half they need to spend some time down here.

Don't be in a rush to score a try. The idea from England is kick it through and put them under pressure.

Fin Smith again kicks it away but a poor clearance gives Henry Slade space to counter. A cracking pass puts Tommy Freeman through and he finds Alex Mitchell, but his kick is picked up and dotted down by prop Jean-Baptiste Gros. Yes, you heard that right.

England were all over the place and it was a broken field.

Antoine Dupont is in the thick of it and it was a nice finish.

That's England's undoing from the off.

Luke Cowan-Dickie's throw goes over everyone and the chance goes. Accuracy is killing England.

Ollie Lawrence locks himself over the ball and the crowd erupts. Perfect chance now to go deep into France's 22.
