    Try - USA 0-19 England

    Alex Dombrandt

    Another line-out, another England try.

    Pono Davis gives away a penalty in the scrum and George Ford hammers the ball downfield.

    It's an easy take in the line-out and Alex Dombrandt bursts through for the score.

    But it's been sent upstairs...

  4. USA 0-14 England

    Kaleb Geiger's throw is wayward so England will have a scrum.

    USA's line-out has been hit and miss today.

  5. USA 0-14 England

    England win a line-out on the halfway line after a bit of back and forth between fly-halves Chris Hilsenbeck and George Ford.

    They quickly switch the play over to the left wing but there's a handling error from Joe Carpenter to hand USA another scrum.

    USA push hard, win the penalty, and creep up to the 10 metre line for another line-out.

  6. USA 0-14 England

    USA win the line-out and drive for the line. The ball pops loose but is picked up by American hands and they push for the line again.

    There's bodies all over the line and USA are held up.

    England will have a goal-line dropout after a water break.

    Back-to-back penalties for USA. Chris Hilsenbeck kicks for the corner and USA have a line-out about five metres from England's tryline.

  8. USA 0-14 England

    What a lovely crossfield kick to pick out England's Cadan Murley on the left-wing.

    However, play is pulled back for a dangerous neck-roll tackle by Max Ojomoh on USA's Jamason Fa'Anana Schultz.

    USA penalty and they kick for the corner.

  9. converted try

    Converted try - USA 0-14 England

    Luke Northmore (con George Ford)

    Luke Northmore scores underneath the posts and George Ford completes a simple kick.

    It also started with a well-executed scrum from England about 10 metres out from USA's tryline.

    How costly has that yellow card to Chris Hilsenbeck been for USA?

  10. USA 0-7 England

    This really is end to end.

    Just when you think USA have a promising attacking position, George Ford pops up with the ball and sends it down the other end of the park.

    England are held up on the tryline by Toby Fricker.

  11. USA 0-7 England

    Immanuel Feyi Wabuso fumbles the ball to gift USA a scrum on the 10 metre line.

    However, after a couple of collapses, the referee awards a penalty to USA.

  12. USA 0-7 England

    It's all England at the moment.

    They find a huge gap down the right wing through Immanuel Feyi-Waboso but the offload to Chandler Cunningham-South is wayward.

    USA, still down to 14, have a scrum and a chance to reset.

  13. converted try

    Converted try - USA 0-7 England

    Curtis Langdon (con George Ford)

    England make their man advantage pay immediately.

  14. Sin-bin - Chris Hilsenbeck

    USA 0-0 England

    USA's Chris Hilsenbeck receives a yellow card for a deliberate knock-on.

    Some of the players in the England under 20 squad – who played with than Henry Pollock – look very special and it would be great if Junior Kpoku could be signed by a club in England so he’s eligible for the senior squad. I hope Tyler Offiah fulfils his promise and is as good as his dad was, along with similar sons of former internationals such as Ollie Sleightholme, Lucas Friday and Greg Fisilau.

  16. USA 0-0 England

    England commit another infringement, this time collapsing a maul.

    USA once again kick to the corner and have a line-out about 10 metres from England's line.

    However, England successfully steal the ball and Jack van Poortvliet hoofs it clear. Steve Borthwick's side are under a bit of pressure here but they'll take confidence from that line-out.

  17. USA 0-0 England

    USA switch the play from the left wing to right following the scrum with debutant Rufus McLean finding some space.

    They switch it back to the opposite wing and a high tackle gifts USA a penalty.

    It's a kickable distance but they opt for the corner. They'll have a line-out deep in England's 22.

  18. USA 0-0 England

    That was shaping up to be a nice move for England with a George Ford kick sending USA's defence scrambling. However, the pass to release Arthur Clark is forward.

    It's been a little scrappy in the opening few minutes in Washington DC.

    USA will have the put in at the scrum.

  19. USA 0-0 England

    Two line-out wins from two for USA.

    It's worth pointing out that USA are missing star fly-half AJ MacGinty due to injury.

  20. USA 0-0 England

    Chandler Cunningham-South rips the ball out to give England possession.

    However, England can't capitalise, giving away an early penalty.
