FT: England 37-42 Australia
Matt Dawson 2003 World Cup winner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
I can't lose sight of what an incredible try that was under pressure for Australia.
England had it!
How many times have England had the game under their control and they go back to this dreaded box kick. It gets them in trouble every single time. For 65 minutes, England were fantastic. In the last 15 minutes, they were rubbish.
Paul Grayson Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
What a finish by Australia. We all thought they would try and engineer a drop-goal. Then they peel away and England's defence hinged in like they have been doing all day.
A lovely offload from Len Ikitau to release Max Jorgensen.

Max Jorgensen (con Ben Donaldson)
Heartbreak for England.
It looked like Australia were setting themselves for the kick at goal, but they move it wide and Len Ikitau carries hard before producing a deft offload out the back for Max Jorgensen to run clear.

Coincidence that England are offering far more in attack now that Spencer isn't on the pitch, box kicking every chance he gets? Far better ball carrying, far more zip about them. Now they need to keep the pressure on!

Ollie Sleightholme (con Marcus Smith)
A brace for Ollie Sleightholme.
England take a quick line-out and Marcus Smith spots the opportunity to attack. Ollie Lawrence sets the platform and Alex Dombrandt moves it wide for Sleightholme to double his Test tally.
Smith cracks an impressive conversion from close to the touchline and England regain the lead.
Harry Wilson is showing signs of a concussion after a low hit on Maro Itoje. The Australia captain tried to stagger back into the line but play is stopped so he can receive some attention.
Matt Dawson 2003 World Cup winner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
England need to get the focus back, it all seems a bit razzle-dazzle. They need to focus now, go through the drill, smack Australia back and suck the energy and life out of them. Then use the skills of Smith. It's as simple as that.
