    Japan have some valuable ball inside English territory but Tevita Tatafu throws a forward pass to Jone Naikabula and the move breaks down.

    Even some England fans let out a collective groan at that error. Poor at this level.

    In patches you have to give Japan some credit, they have given England problems on the wide outside. They have not given up.

    For the first time this evening, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" breaks out in the stands.

    England fans finally have something to cheer about this autumn.

    Power and dynamism from Roebuck, he stepped inside and accelerated under the posts. He didn't need asking twice to score, superb finish.

    Tom Roebuck (con Marcus Smith)

    Fin Smith is pulling the strings now.

    The replacement fly-half pops a crossfield kick straight to winger Tom Roebuck, who does the rest.

    It's a graceful finish for his first Test try and Marcus Smith adds the extra two points.

    A slick backs and forwards attack across the width of the field, Roebuck looked like he had a straight run to the corner but he got tap-tackled, then some huff and puff to get Cowan-Dickie over the line.

    Luke Cowan-Dickie (con Marcus Smith)

    England are up to a half century of points and it's Luke Cowan-Dickie at the double.

    Fin Smith plays a terrific flat pass for Tom Roebuck to gallop clear. The wing is brought down just short but Cowan-Dickie is on hand to burrow over the line.

    That's four of the eight England tries scored by hookers. This time, Marcus Smith adds the conversion.

    Two clean line breaks, well constructed and the England defence coach Joe El-Abd will be scratching his head. They go straight through the middle, that is a big hole.

    The concerns continue, four or five times they have been cut through by Japan from deep and with ease.

    Too easy for Japan.

    Their offload game is on point as they keep the ball alive before Kazuki Himeno scores his side's second try.

    Takuro Matsunaga adds the conversion.

    It's just brute strength, dynamism and will from Cowan-Dickie to get him to power down over the try-line.

    Luke Cowan-Dickie

    The replacement hooker picks up where his captain left off.

    England are penned on the Japan line before Luke Cowan-Dickie picks up from the ruck and rides one tackle before spinning through another and powering over.

    Three of England's seven tries have been scored by hookers. Marcus Smith misses the conversion.

    George Furbank's try is his last act as he is replaced by Fin Smith, who will come on at 10 with namesake Marcus moving to full-back.

    Elsewhere, prop Asher Opoku-Fordjour is on for his England debut in place of Will Stuart.

    Two Warwickshire boys on for England.

    Tommy Freeman chases it to six or seven metres out, takes it in two hands and immediately reverse flicks it behind him - what a touch from Freeman!

    That's magic - make sure you get to see it, it's one of those moments. High quality from Tommy Freeman.

    That piece of skill has raised the volume in the Allianz Stadium. The type of stuff you do messing about in training.

    Unbelievable from Tommy Freeman.

    George Furbank

    The foot is back on the gas then?

    It's broken ball thrown wide for England but Henry Slade cleans up and kicks it through for Tommy Freeman to set off after.

    The Northampton wing wins the race and manages to throw an incredible offload around his back for clubmate George Furbank to score.

    A touch of magic by Freeman before Marcus Smith misses the conversion.

    The atmosphere has just gone a bit flat inside Allianz Stadium as England try to weather some Japan pressure.

    Maro Itoje steals the ball at the breakdown but England appear to have taken their foot off the gas somewhat.

    A big moment for Japan's pack, who have been under huge pressure so far.

    The visitors win the scrum penalty after a big shove and the decision is met with huge cheers on the field.

    Eddie Jones liked that one too.

  19. Replacementpublished at 48 mins

    England make a couple of changes. Harry Randall is on for Jack van Poortvliet, while captain Jamie George is replaced by Luke Cowan-Dickie.

    George has been taken off in the early stages of the second half in all four games.

    Japan have restarted in a lively manner, Eddie Jones has given them something to think about at half-time - they were on the backfoot so much before. They are probably not worrying about winning the game just yet, more playing their game.
