That's the end of that, a good win for Australia, whose defensive performance was outstanding. England, meanwhile, made too many errors. Australia win 20-14.
79'
England give another penalty away as Australia seem to have proved that they have the forwards to match their backline.
78'
Farrell is on the pitch now and he tries to send Tuilagi through, who drops it as the pass was far too low. Face-palm.
77'
Again nothing comes of that as England give away a penalty. Had they kicked instead of stubbornly looked for the try, they would likely be in front.
76'
Brown is blocked after a kick forward and the referee does give a kickable penalty. Nope, Flood goes for the try as he kicks to touch. Brave.
75'
Hands in the ruck now as England concede another penalty when 10 yards from the line.
74'
Again Australia hold on to see England out as Waldrom drops it.
73'
Waldrom to Brown as England look to run it through. Now Vunipola launches himself in, Flood with a brave run into a sea of yellow. Parling may get turned over here, no he doesn't, now Flood to Waldrom who spins in. Phase six now!
72'
The ref speaks to the captains and Vunipola over the number of resets in the scrum. Neck or head problem for an England forward...

AUSTRALIA SUB: Kepu on for Alexander now too.

Penalty to England and they take it quickly! They want tries and nothing less! Robshaw bundles into the Aussie backs and it spins out wide! Great drive by Waldrom! Now Youngs! Frantic just short of the line!! And it's turned over! Brilliant defence!
68'
Interception for Ashton as England have it back. Crucial point in the match - a converted try puts them ahead!
67'
Yes, it was short. Wakey wakey lads.

Can Barnes make this? No! Just short! Or is it? Confusion as it seemed to shave the bar and they need to check. Bizarre. They go to the video. How can you miss it? Looked short to me!
65'
Australia have a penalty, huge respite for them and Barnes will go for goal even through it's 50 yards away...
64'
That move breaks down but Goode has it back. He almost kicks it to Barnes but England keep the ball, Robshaw tries to offload but a knock-on. England showing more chutzpah.
63'
England's first real attack in the scrum yields a penalty.
62'
Forward pass releases Ashton, he didn't know and neither did the crowd as he raced away. Play called back but England drive through the scrum, finally.
