England vs Wales LIVE: Rugby result and reaction after Owen Farrell red card in Rugby World Cup warm-up

Meanwhile, poor Jack van Poortvliet is being helped off. That really would be gutting for the young scrum-half. His Leicester mentor Ben Youngs replaces him.

Yellow for Henry Arundell! Liam Williams claims a mark and taps quickly, with Van Poortvliet’s injury leaving England short of backfield cover. Arundell cynically, but understandably, takes Williams out having not been back ten - and it is perfectly fair refereeing from Nika Amashukeli to go to his pocket with loads of room in front of the Wales full back.

Jamie George’s withdrawn brake foot gives Wales a free kick, allowing the visitors a chance to enter into the next passage of aerial ping pong.

Oh no - another injury! Jack van Poortvliet is down on the deck in severe discomfort.

A few howls of frustration around Twickenham as England send up their latest hoist to the heavens, Owen Farrell taking a club too many and allowing Wales to take.

Owen Williams’s clearance is half charged down and England attack blind again, Will Stuart energetic on an arcing run and connecting with Joe Marchant. Marchant’s hands have to be quick, and are - but, true to this game, his accuracy is lacking. Elliot Daly can’t clutch it lunging forwards with a runway opening up in front of him.

This is not good for Lake, who has had a rough run with injury - he’s traipsing off. That really is such a shame for the hooker, skipper of his country for the first time. It looked like his foot might have got stuck in the turf as he jackaled with a couple of Englishmen trying to shift him.

Sam Parry replaces him.

Blimey has this been an error-ridden first half so far. It was pretty scrappy and scratchy befor the interval in Cardiff last week, and both sides have been short of accuracy again, England’s attempts to explore the blindside ended by an errant pass and an Ollie Lawrence fumble. Nika Amashukeli calls on some drinks as Dewi Lake receives treatment.

Lake finds his man on this occasion but it isn’t long before Wales have a mishap, Taine Plumtree’s hands sloppy as he cuts back against the grain. A teammate compounds the error by infringing at the breakdown.

This hasn’t been the best set piece start for the Welsh skipper - another mistimed toss finds the lifted player not yet at their apex, the ball landing in Jamie George’s hands at the tail.

Lake’s handed another opportunity as England kick out on the full.

And joy for Gareth Thomas, Tomas Francis and co. as England’s front row hit the deck on contact. Owen Williams punts for touch.

Ollie Lawrence tries to make metres up the middle on a hard line but is both stopped and stripped, Nick Tompkins wrapping firmly and jarring the ball loose with a shake. Wales’ scrum feed.
