Damian Willemse chips and regathers. He is on fire. South Africa have started so sharp.

Ox Nche is next to break clear.

South Africa got lightning quick ball and England couldn't respond.

South Africa go straight to the air and win a penalty. Into the corner it goes.

Great chance to score first.

Here we go. What a venue. South Africa get the game under way.

This is proper.

The iconic Ellis Park in Johannesburg is a venue nearly 6,000ft above sea level.

But having flown out to South Africa 10 days in advance of the game, the players will have had the ideal amount of time to adapt to the altitude, according to England coach Kevin Sinfield.

"The timescale we allowed here was supposed to be the optimal time for the average person to have adapted and adjusted to the altitude," he told the Rugby Union Weekly podcast.

"This is just another challenge for the lads. Our performance team and medical team have tried to give us the best possible preparation for the timelines we have, and it's part of the challenge of Test rugby in South Africa."

England wing Cadan Murley has scored four international tries and is eyeing more.

"You have to go out there with a mindset to score tries," Murley told BBC 5 Live.

"The biggest thing we've focused on is what is the England way and finding that. Look at the product across the Prem and how many tries are being scored.

"Rugby has gone into that more attacking mindset. That France game we showcased a little bit of what we can do ball in hand and that is something we've focused on coming into this game."

Can Steve Borthwick's side win at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, a place where England haven't won in 54 years?

"We know we need to be at our best to get the result we want," England captain Jamie George told BBC 5 Live.

"We believe we can. Genuinely I have been blown away by the way that people have got after it this week.

"We are clear on what we need to do. Now it's just about executing."

England are out on the pitch. Henry Pollock is taking it all in with a big smile.

England have only won four times in 16 matches in South Africa.

They have not won at Ellis Park since 1972.

I think it is a great opportunity for Henry Pollock.

I don't think he will be coming off the bench with 15 minutes to go. It will be with half an hour left and a chance to make an impact.

In terms of the front-row inexperience, England are where they are. Those are the guys that are fit and Saturday may be the day they find an extra gear with someone like Beno Obano stepping up and putting pressure on those ahead of him.

It is going to be fascinating to see how the battle plays out in the final quarter.

At times during the Six Nations, England looked a muddled and confused team. So what version can we expect to see this Saturday, and across the summer?

Will they adopt a kick-first approach, or will they be empowered to play more with the ball in hand, as was the case in the Stade de France?

"It's not so much about trying to emulate that one game or one style of play," lock Alex Coles explained to BBC Sport this week.

"We've got a clear identity. It's more about doing it better than we have been doing. And in Paris, we did.

"So we feel like we've put ourselves in a good place to go and test [our identity]. And what better way than against the best team in the world?"

Wales' win over Fiji levels the series at 2-2 between the hemispheres - who will come out on top?

Enjoying the new competition?

In 2018, England raced into a 24-3 lead as Mike Brown, Elliot Daly and Owen Farrell crossed for converted tries at Ellis Park.

But the Springboks led 29-27 at the break via Faf de Klerk, S'busiso Nkosi (2) and Willie le Roux tries.

Aphiwe Dyantyi then went over for the hosts, and two Handre Pollard penalties meant scores from Maro Itoje and Jonny May were not enough for England.

It meant new South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus secured his first victory since replacing Allister Coetzee.

How time flies....

We are so lucky in this job to commentate at some amazing stadiums around the world, but there is something different and special about Ellis Park.

It is a place that has a rawness, an aura, and bleeds history - you just can't escape it - and when we spoke to Ollie Chessum yesterday he said he took a moment during training to soak it all in and to remember what has happened at this ground in the past.

A crowd of around 50,000 is expected, and with over an hour to go until kick-off the place is already jumping.
