England v Ireland LIVE: Result and reaction from Six Nations as Marcus Smith denies Irish grand slam with last-gasp drop goal

England have fought their way back in the contest with that try. And further bad news for Ireland.

Frawley forced off with a HIA and Conor Murray is the only back left on the bench. He’s on at scrum half, Gibson-Park shifted out to the wing (!) and Keenan slots back in at full back. Could this cause Irish confusion?

But England hit back and it’s George Furbank with the gas on the outside!

Space spotted to the left as England return a kick. Martin with a powerful carry, offloads out to Itoje, who draws a defender, feeds Furbank and the full back turns on the jets to race over.

But that’s not a great conversion attempt from Ford. Shanked miles wide of the right post. Still, England close the gap.

It’s ruthless from Ireland and they’ve got one hand on the Six Nations trophy. James Lowe with the finish in the corner.

Gibson-Park’s box kick is spilled by Freeman coming forward and reclaimed by Ireland. They spot the overlap on the left, lovely flat pass from Crowley- to Dories gets them outside, through the hands, Frawley on to Lowe and he acrobatically dives over out wide. Efficiency.

Crowley’s conversion skews wide but Ireland now lead by nine points.

Turnover in the 22 and Van der Flier is getting the plaudits of his teammates. It was scrappy ball from England and the Irish flanker managed to get over the ball, causing Lawrence to come in from the side trying to clear him out.

Ford puts up an early kick and Crowley leaps into the air but knocks on trying to collect it. England scrum in the Ireland half.

Solid and England on the attack as they go to the left.

Back underway in SW London. Can England build on that first 40 minutes and find a way back into this contest

Here’s the best of the first-half action. Not much in it but Ireland have found a way to lead

An encouraging half in so many ways for England, but they nonetheless go down the tunnel four points behind. Both their attack and defence have caused Ireland significant problems, but familiar wastefulness inside the opposition 22 and some curious decision-making from George Ford has prevented them from building the lead that their territorial advantage suggests they should have been able to. Ireland have fired few shots - you'd think Andy Farrell's side still have plenty left in the tank.

The visitors may need to get Hugo Keenan on the ball more, with the full-back a bit on the periphery after Calvin Nash’s head injury forced him out to the wing. Ireland have missed his clever touches closer in.

A pretty good 40 minutes from England as they’ve avoided giving Ireland lots of ball in enemy territory and even the attack has shown flashes.

They have the only try of the half but Ireland, and the boot of Jack Crowley, have punished every little error, so the visitors lead 12-8

Final act of the half and Jack Crowley slots the simple conversion. The whistle goes and that’s oranges
