    Gabriel Oghre (con Charlie Atkinson)

    England boot the ball to the corner. The line-out is successful. England assemble a maul about 10 metres out and Gabriel Oghre, on debut, crashes over. Rinse. Repeat.

    USA enjoy a good spell of possession but can't make any ground.

    USA 0-33 England

    USA are camped in their own 22 as England hunt for a sixth try.

    The hosts have a scrum about five metres from their own tryline. Can they relieve the pressure?

  14. Replacementpublished at 67 mins

    A couple more changes for USA. Kaleb Geiger and Jamason Fa'Anana Schultz have been replaced by Shilo Klein and Christian Poidevin

    USA 0-33 England

    England really should be celebrating a sixth try. This time it's prop Fin Baxter trundling through USA's scattered defence.

    He loses control of the ball and can't complete the offload.

    Harry Randall (con George Ford)

    That is brilliant from England. Immanuel Feyi-Wabuso bursts through USA's defence to set up a routine try for substitute Harry Randall. He came out of nowhere.

    George Ford converts and that's his last act of the day. He's replaced by debutant Charlie Atkinson at fly-half.

    USA 0-26 England

    George Ford kicks over the top to try and unleash England's backs down the right flank. However, Chris Hilsenbeck pounces on the ball.

    Although his first-half yellow card created the opening for England's first two tries, he's another USA player who's put in a solid performance.

    Ben Bonasso commits a tackle off the ball and England have a penalty. George Ford kicks it into the right corner and England have another line-out in a threatening position.

    However, it comes to nothing. USA are awarded a free-kick.
