  1. Wales 7-54 England

    Remarkably that is eight tries for England by eight different players.

    So impressive.

    So bad for Wales.

  2. try

    Converted try: Wales 7-54 England

    Joe Heyes try, Marcus Smith con

    A great finish from the big man who dives into the tackle and stretches out to touch down.

    This is getting truly ugly for Wales.

  3. Pollock looks 'mature'

    Wales 7-47 England

    Ken Owens
    Former Wales hooker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    That was a great pass by George Ford. Henry Pollock looks really exciting but I have liked how mature he has looked. Not over chasing rucks and staying within the patterns. He should be really happy with his first Test match.

  4. 'What a moment for Henry'

    Wales 7-47 England

    Danny Care
    Former England scrum-half on BBC One

    An unbelievable ball from George Ford, rugby league-esque, he's so classy.

    What a moment for Henry Pollock and his family.

  5. try

    Converted try: Wales 7-47 England

    Henry Pollock try, Fin Smith con

    What a moment for the young debutant!

    He's only been in Test rugby for a few minutes and he's over in the corner.

    Walesa had numbers in defence but Joe Roberts was caught ball-watching then as the pass put the back-row outside him.

  6. 'Itoje has been magnificent'

    Wales 7-40 England

    Matt Dawson
    Listen to 2003 World Cup winner on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Maro Itoje has been magnificent throughout this entire Six Nations. He has led on and off the field. In the last two minutes he must have been in six rucks challenging for the ball.

  7. Wales 7-40 England

    England are probing here. They're nudging their way up field, probing, pressing and waiting for an opening.

    It looks ominous for Wales.

  8. Wales 7-40 England

    Jonathan Davies
    Former Wales international on BBC One

    You just felt that Wales needed to get on the board early in this second half, they had a couple of opportunities but they didn't take them - that's been the difference.

    England have only had one chance in this half and they took it.

  9. Wales 7-40 England

    Maro Itoje comes up with yet another turnover.

    What a warrior he is and has been for England.

    Lions captain?

    England are presenting Wales with decent enough chances. If they played against a better more in form side they would probably be in trouble!

  11. Wales 7-40 England

    You do wonder what may have happened had Blair Murray not been denied twice early on in this game.

    But England have been ruthless ever since.

  12. Replacements

    Wales 7-40 England

    Tom Willis on for England and centre Nick Tompkins for Wales.

    Harry from Ireland should probably feel more aggrieved that Ireland have just been bang average this tournament. I'm an England fan and the only team that deserves to win is France I am afraid.

  14. Wales 7-40 England

    Sweet Chariot is ringing out inside the Principality Stadium as even the remotest or most romantic thoughts of a comeback are extinguished with that score.

  15. Wales 7-40 England

    Ken Owens
    Former Wales hooker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    England have had all the 50-50s but you make your own luck.

  16. Wales 7-40 England

    Danny Care
    Former England scrum-half on BBC One

    It's another header! I don't know how that's happened three times this game.

    England are just clinical at the crucial times.

  17. try

    Converted try: Wales 7-40 England

    Alex Mitchell try, Fin Smith con

    The scrum-half pounces on a spilt ball, kicks ahead and gets an easy finish for England's sixth.

    Just as Wales were looking sharper with Jarrod Evans pulling the strings, Elliot Daly's tackle dislodges the ball and the scrum-half is clear.

    It actually came of Daly's head... what an assist!

    Alex Mitchell scores England's sixth try against Wales

    Feeling very hard done by as an Irish fan that we seem to be the only team Wales turned up for this year.

  19. Replacements: Wales

    Wales 7-33 England

    Prop Gareth Thomas and flanker Tommy Reffell are on for Wales.

    Aaron Wainwright shifts to number eight as Faletau makes way. He looks spent!

  20. Wales 7-33 England

    Alun Wyn Jones
    Former Wales captain on BBC One

    It's a big deficit, you could say it's a mountain to climb, but Wales have got nothing to lose, they need to go out there and express themselves this half.

    It's going to be difficult even if we get two or three tries, but I do believe that Ireland performance is still out there somewhere, hopefully we can see more of that in this second half.
