  1. France 17-27 England

    The TMO is now looking at the incident that England were penalised for...

  2. France 17-27 England

    France now maul for the line but knock on - it comes back for another penalty. Surely they will score...

  3. France 17-24 England

    France have a penalty now and kick to the corner as we enter the final moments.

    A reminder that Scotland led by 33 points at one point last week and ended up winning by 'only' 10...

  4. 'England are delivering'

    France 17-27 England

    Paul Grayson
    Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    England have taken all the air out of the stadium. The hype - the stadium was rocking. Lots of questions about England before, but they are delivering at the moment.

  5. France 17-27 England

    Matt Dawson
    Former England scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    England need to question France's ability to bounce back. You have to apply pressure. It feels a bit like Scotland last week.

    It is a pleasure to see.

  6. Penalty - France 17-27 England

    Fin Smith

    Straight through and England have a 10-point lead. Goodness me.

  7. France 17-24 England

    England earn another penalty and this time Fin Smith points to the posts. The Stade de France is hushed.

    Shocked.

  8. France 17-24 England

    England haven't been this popular in Ireland for about 400 years.

  9. France 17-24 England

    Matt Dawson
    Former England scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    This is the England team we expected to see in this championship. We have not seen them take on the moment.

    Converted try - France 17-24 England

    Alex Coles (con Smith)

    England lead! This is some display as Ben Spencer flings it wide to Ollie Chessum, he could probably have had a second but cuts it back to Alex Coles and he scores!

    Fin Smith drop-kicks the conversion after the ball comes off the tee!

  11. France 17-17 England

    England kick for the corner and not the points. Why not at this point...

    England maul again and France are pushed back again...

  12. France 17-17 England

    HUGE scrum from England as Joe Heyes wins a penalty. The pack love that! It's in a very good position too.

  13. Living up to the 120-year rivalry

    France 17-17 England

    No quarter given or asked for so far.

  14. France 17-17 England

    The well-trodden cliche of 'which France is going to turn up today' may well be better aimed at England.

    Where on earth is this performance coming from?

  15. France 17-17 England

    Mike Henson
    BBC Sport at Stade de France

    The first chorus of Swing Low Sweet Chariot pops up in a pocket of the Stade de France. It is swiftly drowned out by 'Allez Les Bleus', but England are not proving as easy to snuff out on the pitch.

  16. France 17-17 England

    Ireland are champions as it stands.

    It WILL NOT stay like this, of that I am certain. It'll be 40-40 at half-time at this rate.

  17. France 17-17 England

    Paul Grayson
    Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Fin Smith did well there, it was relatively straight forward but he had missed two conversions before. But that was a 20-metre maul - brilliant stuff.

  18. France 17-17 England

    Thirty-four points in less than half an hour. Five tries, some game!

  19. France 17-17 England

    Matt Dawson
    Former England scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Love it. That confrontation that we doubted England could bring against France. France were blowing and unable to defend that.

    Brilliant.

    Converted try - France 17-17 England

    Ollie Chessum (con Smith)

    Back in the team and back on the scoresheet! France had no answer to that maul and after several attempts from the forwards Ollie Chessum spies a gap and dives over.

    Fin Smith does the business this time...
