New Zealand v England LIVE rugby: Result and reaction as All Blacks secure narrow win in brutal first Test

Penalty to New Zealand. Posts it is.

Beauden Barrett also produces an excellent kick, skidding it over the surface and turning George Furbank. Sevu Reece’s energetic chase forces Furbank to rush his clearance, and new hooker Asafo Aumua will throw a lineout 30 metres from England’s line.

Alex Coles and his long limbs replace Sam Underhill.

Jordie Barrett shows off his skillset, dropping the ball on to his weaker left peg and tonking it 50 yards upfield.

It’s tight and nervy in Dunedin as we enter the final quarter.

Ben Spencer is on for Alex Mitchell and scrambles sharply to cut down the space for the Barrett brothers as the trio get to the edge of England’s defence. The visitors’ work in that regard has been outstanding today.

Ouch. Ben Earl gets ahead of the ball and accidentally wipes out Jordie Barrett. If it had been a tackle, Earl might well have faced further sanction, but as it is only a collision, a penalty suffices.

Itoje has indeed taken charge of England, and he’s in control of the skies, too - Codie Taylor’s lineout throw is destined for Ardie Savea until England’s lock gets his big right hand up to it. Even at the end of an impossibly long season, Itoje has been everywhere.

Whack! Sevu Reece steamrolls Marcus Smith after the England fly half takes a high bomb. Theo Dan is on at hooker for Jamie George, presumably making Maro Itoje England captain.

Heavy contact again! Ollie Lawrence collides with Damian McKenzie, and there is blood on the All Blacks face. Not thanks to that hit, though - perfectly clean from the England centre, though McKenzie’s rib cage may not agree.

A much cleaner strike from Damian McKenzie.

Richie Mo’unga, unavailable for this series after his move to Japan, gives an approving nod from the stands to his replacement in the number ten shirt.

Frustrating for England. Having dealt with McKenzie’s chip, Tom Curry goes off his feet resourcing a ruck after a George Martin carry. Damian McKenzie (0 from 2 from the tee tonight) will try to narrow the deficit.

Scott Robertson clearly feels that this is a pinch point for the contest. Enter Beauden Barrett and Fletcher Newell at full-back and tighthead respectively.

Can Beauden get their attack firing? They’ve not found flow at all since the interval. Damian McKenzie’s little chip isn’t the answer with Scott the wrong Barrett brother to be chasing it.
