  1. England 17-7 France

    Non-stop action. This is rugby union on fast forward as France are now knocking on the door of England's try line.

    Step forward prop Hannah Botterman, who dives in and wins the ball back on the deck.

  2. 'Le Crunch!'

  3. 'The result was inevitable'

    England are getting the building blocks right, they always had the ball under control and the result was inevitable once they started going forward.

    Try - England 17-7 France

    Lark Atkin-Davies

    And that's why! England catch the lineout and then the French have no answer to the push, Lark Atkin-Davies ends up diving over the line.

  5. Penalty

    England 12-7 France

    England get a penalty but they don't take the kick at goal again - Zoe Harrison puts them down in the corner instead.

  6. 'The biggest game of Sing's career'

    Emma Sing's try got the loudest roar I've heard all Six Nations. That try should settle the 24-year-old after a nervy early pass too.

    By far the biggest game of her career.

  7. England 12-7 France

    England scored at a point a minute for most of the game last week and they are at it again. This is a great spectacle at Twickenham.

  8. England 12-7 France

    Brian Moore
    Former England hooker on BBC Two

    You've got to love Meg Jones. Great hands, and great awareness to set up Emma Sing.

  9. try

    Converted try - England 12-7 France

    Emma Sing (con Harrison)

    Three tries already! This is brilliant stuff.

    England work the ball so well at speed and full-back Emma Sing is the spare player on the overlap, she is never going to miss and Zoe Harrison kicks the conversion too.

  10. Replacement

    England 5-7 France

    Gaby Vernier took a whack to the head in the build-up to that try so is coming off, with Axelle Berthoumieu coming on in her place.

  11. 'France at their best'

    England 5-7 France

    Katy Daley-Mclean
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    France's forwards did the damage by going so direct and working the offloads to give Carla Arbez a walk-in. That is France at their best.

  12. try

    Converted Try - England 5-7 France

    Carla Arbez (con Bourgeois)

    What a start to the game! A dreamy offload in midfield opens up England and while the Red Roses hold France up a metre or so out, quick ball comes to the 10 Carla Arbez and she drives over.

  13. England 5-0 France

    Zoe Harrison couldn't kick the conversion and France now attack smartly with Pauline Bourdon driving through a gap of her own making...

  14. England 5-0 France

    Katy Daley-Mclean
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    If you are going to stop Abby Dow from there you have to go low. She was always going to finish from that close. It's a really well worked try and a lovely kick from Zoe Harrison.

  15. try

    Try - England 5-0 France

    Abby Dow

    It takes England less than five minutes to take charge of the decider! Zoe Harrison has space in the pocket to poke a low kick in behind their defence, the bounce favours wing Abby Dow and she scoops up well to run in and score.

    Just the start the crowd wanted!

  16. England 0-0 France

    The scrum is reset and England get the ball out wide, as Maud Muir then punches a hole through the French lines...

  17. England 0-0 France

    An instant knock-on from Teani Feleu gifts England a scum.

  18. Kick-off

    England 0-0 France

    Away we go!

  19. Room for more...

    The upper tier at Allianz Stadium is closed, with the majority of the second tier not full.

    Still a very healthy crowd in and room for plenty more come September, when the World Cup final could feature England here.

    Twickenham crowd

  20. La Marseillaise. One of the great anthems.

    England's players belt out God Save The King good and proper too. Pumped.
