It's scrappy from England as they don't get the numbers to the ruck following a half drive, and when Wales drive over Webb is able to hack the ball all the way to halfway to disrupt the move. England come again down the left, and Watson may have scored here...TRY FOR ENGLAND!

Ford stretches the play left and gives the ball to Joseph in space. The centre fixes the defence before feeding Anthony Watson, and the flier is off down the left wing. He bashes through Biggar's tackle and despite falling short of the line, he stretches out over his head to touch the ball down expertly on the line. Ford misses the kick again - 0 from 3 - but England are back within touching distance.

England concede a penalty inside their own 22 after Brown is penalised for hands in the ruck. Biggar turns down the kick at goal though and goes to the corner, with Wales sniffing blood.

Waes spurn the chance as Harrison comes out of the maul with the ball in hand. England have the chance to counter, but Jospeh's pass to Watson is poor and the move breaks down. The ball is kicked into touch and that's half-time.
