    Smith again made something happen for England. Out of nowhere we've got a lifeline. A shame some team-mates, particularly Spencer, are coming up short. Absolutely must build on this now the crowd are noisy again.

    That is a super-strength of Marcus Smith. Lovely deft touch.

    Ollie Sleightholme

    Clever.

    England have the scrum deep inside Australia territory and Marcus Smith calls for the ball before quickly moving blind.

    The fly-half stands up the Wallaby defence and grubbers the ball through expertly for Ollie Sleightholme to gather and open his England account.

    Smith misses the conversion.

    This team is going absolutely nowhere under Borthwick, out thought and out fought.

  7. England 18-25 Australia

    Australia are back on the front foot after a clever break inside their own 22 as the Allianz Stadium holds its breath.

    England keep them out on the line but the visitors have the penalty in front of the posts.

    The hosts have missed 30 tackles in less than an hour of rugby.

    Ben Spencer could have a walk in under the posts and he'd still box kick it away. Get him off. Absolutely awful.

    Australia are playing rugby and they are taking England on. England are trailing and playing a negative play of rugby. It is so frustrating.

    You can predict it. When England wobble they will go within themselves and do what they did in the last 20 minutes last week.

  11. try

    Try - England 18-25 Australia

    Fraser McReight

    Australia are in again. Or are they?

    The Wallabies run a nice line-out routine down the short side before Fraser McReight gets over in the corner.

    The flanker's foot is close to the touchline but it is awarded as a try on the field and there is no evidence to overrule it.

  12. 'Sublime touches'

    Joseph-Aukuso Suallii doesn't look like a nervous debutant! He has had some sublime touches.

  13. England 18-20 Australia

    The Wallabies are growing in confidence as English heads continue to drop all around them.

    It's only a two-point game but England need to wrestle back momentum.

    Another piece of brilliance from this rugby league convert Suaalii. Paul Grayson was saying about how people are worried about his defence... well don't worry about his defence, just watch his attack.

  16. England 18-20 Australia

    Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii is intent on making the headlines.

    Australia chip the ball into the sky and the Wallabies outside centre leaps up to clip the ball backwards and keep the move alive.

    Athlete.

    The first phase-of-play two and a half minutes, England are setting themselves up for a hard second-half.

  18. England 18-20 Australia

    George Martin rescues England deep in their own half with an aggressive counter ruck.

    Marcus Smith loses possession in a choke-tackle and Australia kick it through as the green and gold shirts pour through.

    Martin is on hand to stand his ground and keep them out.

  19. England 18-20 Australia

    England try and go through the phases but it's all easy enough for Australia to defend.

    The hosts will be looking for more potency in attack.

    Australia get us up and running again and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii is leaping like a salmon to knock the ball back for the visitors.
