Australia v England LIVE rugby: Result and reaction as England keep series alive with win

Samu Kerevi taps and sets off, but soon enough the ball is back in England’s hands after a breakdown penalty. Tapped, booted into touch - it’s 1-1.

Will Joseph touch the ball? Not initially as England play through the forwards, but here he comes, crisp white shirt flashing under the glare of the lights.

Not the best start - pinged for holding on. Last chance for Australia...

And now a penalty for England! Angus Bell has done remarkably well, playing all but about 30 seconds of this encounter on the loosehead due to Scott Sio’s injury, but he perhaps shows his fatigue here, penalised for hinging under the pressure of Joe Heyes.

Time ticking by. A debut for Will Joseph off the England bench - Guy Porter is replaced.

Australian possession inside their own half. Farrell gets a useful piece of Samu Kerevi as the centre arcs, meaning the beef of his biff is reduced, enabling two England teammates to handle him well.

Joe Heyes similarly gets a vital grab of Rob Valetini’s thigh to slow another of Australia’s bigger ball carriers.

Marika Koroibete on the short line...forward pass! Jake Gordon puts his hands on his head, but the replacement scrum-half’s pass looked forward from the hands. England scrum.

England play the percentages, keeping things tight with Owen Farrell directing his forwards into the Australia defence before securing the ruck himself.

Marcus Smith kicks high, and long...mark claimed by James O’Connor.

Owen Farrell strikes and...it drifts wide! A slight tug to the left, starting at the upright but drifting ever away, and the assistants’ flags stay down. The gap stays at eight.

England maul well again - and there’s the penalty advantage for a leg lift. Australia haven’t really found an answer to the drive when England have got their darts right, as Luke Cowan-Dickie does here.

It’s on the ten-metre line, and a little in-field. Posts, surely? Yep - the tee is on.

Excellent from Courtney Lawes! He had an expert jackal in the first-half and his position is textbook again as Australia fruitlessly explore a white-walled blindside. Penalty to England.

Enter Henry Arundell, hoping for another carbonated cameo after an impressive debut for England last week.

Australia’s lineout goes wrong, but they’ll have another go from a similar spot after Arundell makes a tackle in the air.

But James O’Connor misses touch! Too long and floating dead, though the touch judge curiously allows England to play on despite Danny Care standing out of play when he leaps and taps back infield.

Anyway, play continues. A good deep kick from Australia forces Freddie Steward to run out of his own in-goal, punting with a relative lack of distance to 30 metres or so from his own line.
