  1. Argentina 10-14 England

    That was as good a pattern of play from England as I've seen in a long time.

    Converted try - Argentina 10-14 England

    Freddie Steward (con Ford)

    That is terrific rugby! England move the ball brilliantly first down the right, Tom Roebuck is close to going over but is held up. England stay patient, they have a penalty advantage and come left, Will Muir tucks in one and waits perfectly to pick out Freddie Steward to dive into the corner!

    George Ford does not miss.

  3. Curry back on

    Argentina 10-7 England

    Ben Curry is back on the field so England are back up to 15.

  4. Argentina 10-7 England

    Both sides are turning the ball over but it's a good watch - Argentina are more than happy to run the ball out from inside their own 22.

  5. Argentina 10-7 England

    Stunning work from the Pumas - Will Muir charges down the left with a great carry but when the ball comes inside it's stripped brilliantly off the deck.

    That's twice Muir has ripped down his line though.

  6. Argentina 10-7 England

    England have definitely looked to play plenty of ball in hand - though the try did come from an excellent crossfield kick. We are expecting Ben Curry back any moment now.

    Don't England look good just running the ball instead of incessant kicking? Defence better too, ok Cinti just scored but the shape and pattern of play is good

    England are the only international rugby team who have no tackling coach, absurd technique and it costs us EVERY game

  8. Argentina 10-7 England

    That was inspired by Simon Benitez Cruz, genius from the nine!

  9. converted try

    Converted try - Argentina 10-7 England

    Lucio Cinti (con Carreras)

    Argentina make that sin bin count! And it's brilliant from scrum-half Simon Benitez Cruz who juggles a loose ball, skips past one man, holds off another as he breaks clear and then hands off perfectly for centre Lucio Cinti to run in and score.

    Santiago Carreras converts.

  10. Argentina 3-7 England

    ArgentinaGetty Images

    Cracking Test match this so far. And a good barometer of England's strength in depth.

  11. Argentina 3-7 England

    Great spirited defence again from England as they soak up plenty of Pumas pressure.

    I am far from an expert but those super slow motion replays of any sort of high tackle always make it look worse don't they.

    Curry just bracing himself and holding his ground. What's he supposed to do? Ridiculous decision.

    Ian, Liverpool

    Ben Curry is literally standing still when Matera runs into him. How is that foul play?

  13. Argentina 3-7 England

    Corrr that's a lovely step from Argentina's left wing Ignacio Mendy, he dances away from two defenders and it all threatens to open up - but he's just about dragged down and the referee gives England a penalty.

  14. Argentina 3-7 England

    Ben Curry doesn't look overly concerned as he takes a seat and straps up his thighs. But Argentina have a one-man advantage for the next 10 minutes at least.

  15. Sin-bin

    Argentina 3-7 England

    And now Ben Curry goes in the bin for a yellow card - which will be reviewed for a possible red.

  16. Tom Curry was sent-off against Argentina in the last World Cup, as I recall.

  17. Argentina 3-7 England

    Oh this could be trouble for England though - Ben Curry was high in an earlier challenge, shoulder to head.

  18. Argentina 3-7 England

    Ahhh almost brilliant! Wing Will Muir makes good ground down the left, it comes inside and George Ford pops a pass into Theo Dan who breaks the line but can't keep hold of a jiggling ball.

    It comes back for a penalty to England for offside though.

  19. Argentina 3-7 England

    Theo Dan is now folded up in a scrum and Argentina get the penalty. A bit scruffy after that fluid start. The pitch looks rock hard by the way.

  20. Argentina 3-7 England

    An impeccably polite 'sorry, sir' from England prop Joe Heyes as a scrum is reset. Hooker Theo Dan has been a bit wayward from the lineout so far for England.
