    I'll bring you some first-half highlights now.

    Here is the opening try.

    Converted try - England 26-3 Scotland

    Kelsey Clifford (con Holly Aitchison)

    England win it back and keep it tight with the forwards. Kelsey Clifford powers over again.

  5. England 19-3 Scotland

    Tatyana Heard tries to pull the ball back and it ends up in a mess. Scrum to Scotland. Weird play in the rain. Keep it tight surely?

  6. England 19-3 Scotland

    It does not matter as England win a scrum penalty. Take two as they go into the corner.

  7. England 19-3 Scotland

    Abby Dow has just nailed a wonderful 50:22, but England can't convert after a rare dart by Amy Cokayne goes miles wide of the target.

  8. England 19-3 Scotland

    Katy Daley-Mclean
    England's 2014 World Cup winning captain on BBC One

    That was a great break from Zoe Aldcroft and a great pass by Holly Aitchison.

    If England's skills are done well, they are dangerous.

  9. England 19-3 Scotland

    Another Scotland line-out is disrupted by England. No line-out and you simple can't compete in a World Cup quarter-final.

  10. England 19-3 Scotland

    Andrew Petrie
    BBC Sport Scotland at Ashton Gate

    The worst-case scenario for Scotland was getting heavily beaten, and not putting on a performance to be proud of.

    They held their own for the first 10 minutes, but the following 20 has been one-way traffic and they've not helped themselves with constant set-piece mistakes.

  11. try

    Try - England 19-3 Scotland

    Abby Dow

    Dow scores 50th international try as England pulling away from Scotland

    A 50th England try for Abby Dow.

    Holly Aitchison throws a long pass out to Dow in space. That was one of Dow's easiest finishes.

  12. England 14-3 Scotland

    Maggie Alphonsi
    2014 England World Cup winner on BBC One

    I have been really impressed watching England's set piece, especially their scrum. It is all about England putting on the pressure.

  13. England 14-3 Scotland

    A penalty for a high shot by Scotland. Nothing is now going right after a great start.

  14. England 14-3 Scotland

    Holly Aitchison sends another clever kick behind Scotland. She has been excellent and is ready to again battle Zoe Harrison for that starting fly-half shirt.

    Scotland do well to clear their lines.

  15. No try

    England 14-3 Scotland

    The call is obstruction. No try. England will be annoyed as that was all their own fault for taking out Scotland players at the line-out.

  16. try

    Try - England 19-3 Scotland

    Amy Cokayne

    Or is it? They are checking it.

  17. England 14-3 Scotland

    Holly Aitchison kicks a penalty into the corner. Here comes England's maul....

  18. England 14-3 Scotland

    Heather Lockhart
    Former Scotland prop on BBC One

    Scotland really need to sort out their set piece.

  19. England 14-3 Scotland

    Katy Daley-Mclean
    England's 2014 World Cup winning captain on BBC One

    England's half-backs are demonstrating how you manage a game.

  20. England 14-3 Scotland

    MEGA scrum by the Red Roses. They don't need the penalty though as Chloe Rollie messes up the kick through.
