  1. England 7-12 New Zealand

    As the clock creeps into the red, Marlie Packer and Maddie Feaunati turn the ball over in their 22 to halt another New Zealand attack.

    Hands on knees all round from the Red Roses.

  2. England 7-12 New Zealand

    While the sensible person in me agrees, Kat - New Zealand were probing on England's five-metre line - I'm thoroughly enjoying the free-wheeling approach the Black Ferns have shown in this first half.

    Perhaps there was a bit of a misread and they could have played the safer play.

  4. England 7-12 New Zealand

    Ohhhh there's just too much on that kick from Maia Joseph, the ball bouncing agonisingly out of reach of a Mererangi Paul on the right, diving full length into the in-goal.

    The number of tackles England have had to make will really take its toll around 60 minutes.

    We saw in the first half the Black Ferns punching away and wasting energy, they're playing a lot smarter, they're figuring the game out.

  7. England 7-12 New Zealand

    This is lovely rugby from New Zealand.

    A cross-field kick picks out the lively Ayesha Leti-I'iga, who manages to evade Meg Jones before handing over to Kaipo Olsen-Baker for a barrel forward.

    Then, brilliant execution from Maia Joseph for the 50-22. New Zealand line-out.

  8. England 7-12 New Zealand

    New Zealand are in England's face, swarming all over the world champions.

    That was absolutely sensational! If you're going to put your money on anyone to score a try, it's Leti-I'iga.

    It's been coming. New Zealand have run the same play three times. They have noticed they can prize open a gap between the tail of the line-out and the first defenders, which has been the wingers and in this case was Jess Breach.

    Converted try - England 7-12 New Zealand

    Ayesha Leti-I'iga (con Sorensen-McGee)

    King splits defence with 'brilliant dummy' to set up Leti-I'iga try

    It's Ayesha Leti-I'iga's name on the scoresheet but that was all Hannah King! Split the defence before popping a simple pass to Leti-I'iga on her left shoulder. Very smart.

    Mahutariki-Fakalelu - a crucial turn-over there.

  13. England 7-5 New Zealand

    Rather like last weekend in Exeter (England 26-26 Canada), neither side has grabbed this match by the scruff of the neck.

    Jess Breach makes some ground down the right for England but the move ends in a turnover. Back up to the other end of the park we go.

  14. England 7-5 New Zealand

    A bright spell of possession for New Zealand, stemming from a penalty conceded by Marlie Packer.

    Amy du Plessis carries the ball up to the 22 before... yup, another handling error. Frustrating.

    Time almost froze as the England backs looked around at each other. The system broke down and that is such a disappointing manner to concede a try.

    The Black Ferns have never been predictable against the Red Roses, and that's why they cause problems for them.

    Ellie Kildunne chased forward and pointed for cover. Nobody covered....

    Try - England 7-5 New Zealand

    Amy du Plessis (con missed)

    Du Plessis capitalises on 'absolute gift' to bring New Zealand level

    Amy du Plessis - take a bow!

    After chasing back to the halfway line to retrieve Lucy Packer's kick, she spots a gaping hole on the left wing, lets rip with her boot, and wins the foot race at a canter.

    England punished for leaving the back door open.

  19. England 7-0 New Zealand

    Spilled in the tackle. Sigh.

    Lucy Packer wallops the ball clear.

  20. England 7-0 New Zealand

    Dancing feet from Ayesha Leti-I'iaga, cutting in from the left to carry New Zealand back into England's 22.

    If they don't come away with points this time...
