  1. England 10-7 Australia

    This game screams of Henry Pollock. It needs an injection of energy.

    The 20-year-old will surely be unleashed.

    What we thinking? Remember to get involved.

  8. HT: England 10-7 Australia

    George Ford may be 32 and have over 100 caps, but he refused to give up on chasing Harry Potter down.

    He didn't get close but that attitude does not go unnoticed.

    Well. Australia finish the half three points down and camped on their own line, but it feels that momentum might be with the green and gold at the moment.

    Steve Borthwick picked a bench with this exact scenario in mind however. Six British and Irish Lions - including the power of Ellis Genge and the energy of Henry Pollock - await to help try and steer this one home.

  10. HT: England 10-7 Australia

    Remember Ben Earl looked certain to score a try that could have taken England to 17-0.

    He was held up by Harry Potter, who then picked off an intercept.

    That is Test-match footie!

  11. 'Very encouraging in parts for England'

    Former England scrum-half on BBC 5 Live Sports Extra

    Very encouraging in parts for England. I am expecting some big things from England in this second half to make amends.

  12. Half-time - England 10-7 Australia

    Weird end to the half as Tane Edmed kicks a goal-line dropout straight to England five metres out. The ball is lost and the half ends.

    What was he thinking?

    Do not write this Aussie side off.

  14. Big-hitting Aussies

    Australia are starting to win collisions.

    Tane Edmed dumps Fraser Dingwall. Taniela Tupou rattles Jamie George with a big shoulder. Joseph Aukuso-Suaalii chops down Ben Earl with disdain.

  15. England 10-7 Australia

    The ball goes down and George Ford kicks it through for Tom Roebuck to chase. He loses the chase, but only just.

  16. England 10-7 Australia

    Huge hit by Taniela Tupou! Australia look up for this now.

  17. 'Errors that England can learn from'

    It's these little moments that are significant in these types of games. We don't need to beat this England side up here, these are errors that they can learn from.

  18. England 10-7 Australia

    Mike Henson
    BBC Sport at Twickenham

    A reminder that England were 12 points up after 18 minutes of last year's meeting with the Wallabies before being overhauled.

    This Australia side, who came back from 22 points to beat the Springboks in August, don't know when they are beaten.

    That's the difference there between the Prem and international rugby.

    Harry Potter is gone!

    Just as England look on to score, Fraser Dingwall's pass is intercepted and Potter goes the length.
