    Once England cleanly caught the line-out and began their drive towards the tryline, there was only ever going to be one outcome.

    Amy Cokayne goes over for try number six for England.

    Zoe Harrison continues her 100% record off the tee with another excellent kick from out wide.

    Penalty to England near the Scotland 22 - kicked to touch.

    England have won all six of their line-outs in this match so far - not bad for a team with a depleted second-row division.

    That's what Scotland want to do, slow that ball down. A great defensive set by Scotland.

    Sadia Kabeya is having a great game in England's back row.

    She intercepts a pass to get the Red Roses back on the attack, but Scotland are equal to it on this occasion - earning a scrum, from which they are awarded a penalty.

    Evie Wills won't be able to carry on - she leaves the field holding her right wrist and forearm.

    Lucia Scott, a try-scorer against Wales last weekend, is on.

    This will be a huge blow for Scotland if Evie Wills can't continue.

    Scotland have the ball early in the second half but England keep them around the halfway line before the attack breaks down with a loose pass.

    There's a stoppage in play as Scotland centre Evie Wills in receiving treatment. Wills was included in the side as a result of Emma Orr's tournament-ending injury last weekend.

    HT: Scotland 7-35 England

    England are currently without four players from last year's World Cup-winning squad because of pregnancy.

    Lock Abbie Ward is expecting her second child later this year. She returned to international rugby in 2024 after becoming the first contracted England woman to have a baby since the Red Roses went professional in 2019.

    In this piece by BBC Sport's Alastair Telfer, Ward gives an insight into training while pregnant and returning to action after giving birth.

    Rhona pinned her ears back and goes. The execution of that kick is what created it.

    Ellie's tries have been extremely well taken but a lot of it is the work by the players around her. The pass from Meg Jones for her second try was absolutely sublime.

    I think Lucy Packer is having a brilliant game. Her distribution is fast and accurate.

    The clock is in the red at the end of the first half but England give away a penalty, allowing Scotland to kick to touch for an attacking line-out.

    It's a catch-and-drive from the hosts but England keep them at bay, Maddie Feaunati eventually snatching the ball to bring the first half to a close.

    England in control.

    Great try!

    Probably the pick of the scores so far today from Scotland's Rhona Lloyd and the home side are on the scoreboard.

    Chloe Rollie gets on the end of a chipped kick and passes to Lloyd, who outpaces the England defence to touch down.
