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

Marx has been with us slightly longer, and is right up to speed - he’s so tough to dislodge from over the ball and Wales are penalised for holding on.

Handre Pollard just about finds touch inside the Wales 22 with a leaping Louis Rees-Zammit unable to keep the ball in play.

But South Africa again fall foul of the brake foot law at the scrum - and though Malcolm Marx has replaced Joseph Dweba, a second team offence of that type means a full straight-arm penalty.

Enter the bench - South Africa bring on a couple of debutants, Deon Fourie in the back row and Ntuthuko Mchunu at loosehead, plus Rynhardt Elstadt, who has had experience of Test rugby before.

Nifty from Liam Williams, collecting in the air and then producing a deft out-the-back offload with a flick of the fingers as South Africa grab him.

Louis Rees-Zammit isn’t quite on the same page, though, and knocks on.

And the scores are...not levelled! Another miss from Dan Biggar, again routine by his high standards.

But this may be a chance for Wales to reply in kind. Jaden Hendrikse’s kicking has been good throughout the first 45 minutes, but he gets this one wrong, skewing it 40 metres up and only five forward. Thomas du Toit is thus offside...

At last, another troubling of the scorers - over Pollard’s kick goes and South Africa lead for the first time this evening.

Handre Pollard now takes to the skies, showing his skill in the air as he takes a high kick with aplomb. Warrick Gelant steps in at first receiver and picks a forward runner on his shoulder.

Pollard is back in position for the next phase, out the back of a forward pod and well found by Malcolm Marx’s blind pull-back. Pollard jinks and jumps through a half-hole, and Wales’ attempts to jackal are penalised. Will Rowlands failed to keep his feet, going beyond the ball initially, and rightly pinged.

The busy Pollard will go for goal from 30 metres out.

Malcolm Marx hits the mark at his first lineout, and he and Koch control the maul at the back, Wales responding well with a counter-shove after an initially healthy South African drive.

Kurt-Lee Arendse nearly wins back Jaden Hendrikse’s box kick, but Liam Williams tidies up for Wales.

A change for Wales, too: Tomos Williams replaces Kieran Hardy at scrum-half.

In fact, sooner than even I thought, though it is the familiar faces for now - Malcolm Marx is on at hooker for Joseph Dweba, and Vincent Koch will join him in the front row, replacing Trevor Nyakane.
