  1. England 31-14 France

    Really end-to-end as Claudia MacDonald threatens the French line before full-back Morgane Bourgeois scoops the ball up, breaks the line and kicks a monster downfield.

  2. England 31-14 France

    Both sides are up to 15 again as they exchange kicks deep downfield. Perhaps that early onslaught is taking a toll as the pace of the game slows up a touch.

  3. England 31-14 France

    France are on top at the moment despite still being down to 14. Impressive.

  4. England 31-14 France

    Seven tries in half an hour. This is breathless.

  5. England 31-14 France

    BBC Sport at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham

    That same mistake happened to Zoe Harrison against Wales. A disappointing mistake in an impressive half for the fly-half.

    Brian Moore
    Former England hooker on BBC Two

    It was opportunist. A simple mistake by England.

  7. try

    Converted try - England 31-14 France

    Pauline Bourdon (con Bourgeois)

    Oh wow!

    Zoe Harrison gets a poor pass behind her own tryline, she can't gather it and Pauline Bourdon is on it in a flash to dive in and touch the ball down. Twickenham is silenced.

  8. England 31-7 France

    France have a penalty and they kick it to touch - and full-back Emma Sing does a brilliant job of keeping the ball in for England!

  9. England 31-7 France

    France are putting in the big hits but this has been a clinic from England. Good luck, the rest of the world later this year...

  10. England 31-7 France

    Alastair Telfer
    BBC Sport at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham

    You can usually tell by the crowd reaction if a high tackle on the big screen should be a red card. No one was really that bothered by that one.

  11. 'Different level'

    England 31-7 France

    Katy Daley-Mclean
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    England are playing at a different level to France. The decision-making is superb.

    France don't know what is coming next.

  12. try

    Converted try - England 31-7 France

    Claudia MacDonald

    It takes England all of about 40 seconds to make the extra player count. Meg Jones whips a dream of a pass out wide, cutting out two defenders, and Claudia MacDonald finishes.

  13. Sin-bin

    England 24-7 France

    France prop Assia Khalfaoui is sent to the sin bin for a high tackle on Maud Muir.

  14. England 24-7 France

    There's a TMO review now for a high tackle earlier in that attack.

  15. WATCH - Abby Dow gives England early lead at Twickenham

  16. England 24-7 France

    Claudia MacDonald gets the ball out wide for the first time but is directed into traffic and France can turn the ball over. They just need some respite.

  17. England 24-7 France

    France have Gaby Vernier back on and they need something magic from the centre to turn this around. Meg Jones cuts France open with another great burst and her kick ahead nearly finds a team-mate for a score but it just runs out.

  18. 'England's forwards are dominating'

    England 24-7 France

    Katy Daley-Mclean
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    England's forwards are dominating, and that was good skill, good execution and good identification of space.

  19. try

    Converted try - England 24-7 France

    Emma Sing (con Harrison)

    It's just relentless from England! France can't deal with the maul and though they hold up the pack, there is so much space out wide and they find Emma Sing free to run it in again!

    Harrison has the simple kick for two more points.

    Emma Sing celebratesget

  20. England 17-7 France

    France are sloppy at a lineout and Emma Sing tries a lovely kick down the line but it just goes out. The stand-in full-back has been bright.
