    Try - England 40-8 Scotland

    Rhona Lloyd

    Scotland get their try! Rhona Lloyd does really well to evade Jess Breach and score. The tears then come.

  2. England 40-3 Scotland

    Francesca McGhie goes right through the middle. Can Scotland finally score a try?

  3. England 40-3 Scotland

    We will likely have one final scrum after Abby Dow drops the ball.

  4. England 40-3 Scotland

    England destroy Scotland's scrum before Zoe Harrison finds a tidy touch. The Red Roses have played the conditions so well all game.

  5. Watch: Aitchison's try

    England 40-3 Scotland

    One of the best from today's game.

  6. England 40-3 Scotland

    Once again, Scotland's line-out fails.

    Morwenna Talling, one of England's first-half try-scorers, is named the player of the match.

  7. England 40-3 Scotland

    Another penalty to Scotland and another line-out from virtually the same place.

  8. England 40-3 Scotland

    Can Scotland finish on a high? Their penalty goes into England's 22. However, their line-out can't provide the goods.

  9. England 40-3 Scotland

    Another dropped ball by Scotland off their own scrum. Sums up their performance.

    Emma Sing is on for Megan Jones.

    Emma Orr needed a little pep talk from Fran McGhie there. The relentless nature of this game is starting to tell on the Scots' mentality.

    15 minutes left to try and make sure the damage doesn't get any worse but there is a feeling this could be anything England want it to be.

    Really lovely again, we are seeing the balance of England's play.

    Converted try - England 40-3 Scotland

    Holly Aitchison (con Aitchison)

    Harrison's inside pass sets up Aitchison try as England firmly in control

    A deserved try.

    Holly Aitchison takes an inside pass from replacement Zoe Harrison and dives over. She converts her own try.

  13. England 33-3 Scotland

    Two balls ended up in the middle of that line-out. A clever play by the ball girl, who accidently chucked the ball on, to force a scrum?

  14. England 33-3 Scotland

    Holly Aitchison pings the ball into the sky for Abby Dow to finish, but it is dropped. Back for the penalty.

  15. England 33-3 Scotland

    Loads of changes. The big one is Abbie Ward coming on for England captain Zoe Aldcroft, who has come through an hour of the game well after not playing the last two pool matches because of a knee injury.

  16. England 33-3 Scotland

    Heather Lockhart
    Former Scotland prop on BBC One

    Scotland will keep coming up until the final whistle.

  17. England 33-3 Scotland

    The ball is dropped by Jess Breach. A try looked on as the ball found Breach, who we've not seen much of today.

    Blame the rain? I would.

  18. England 33-3 Scotland

    Andrew Petrie
    BBC Sport Scotland at Ashton Gate

    The Mexican waves have started, which tells you this one truly is over as a contest.

    Despite that, Scotland are still putting in a power of work. The exhaustion, emotional and physical, will be obvious come the end of this.

  19. No try

    England 33-3 Scotland

    Emma Orr grounds the ball before Megan Jones. Great work by the Scotland centre.

    This would be a some finish by Megan Jones.
