England are going to need a good half-time to recover. That has been exhausting. Defending is hard work. They must have made 70-80 tackles.

The Black Ferns could be further ahead but they will look at the chances they have created and think their decision-making is the reason they are not further ahead.

Phew.

A ferocious first half at Allianz Stadium. New Zealand have been relentless - if they'd taken their chances, they would be out of sight. However, full credit to England for their defensive efforts.

Absolutely brilliant turnover there, they read it really well!

As the clock creeps into the red, Marlie Packer and Maddie Feaunati turn the ball over in their 22 to halt another New Zealand attack.

Hands on knees all round from the Red Roses.

While the sensible person in me agrees, Kat - New Zealand were probing on England's five-metre line - I'm thoroughly enjoying the free-wheeling approach the Black Ferns have shown in this first half.

Perhaps there was a bit of a misread and they could have played the safer play.

Ohhhh there's just too much on that kick from Maia Joseph, the ball bouncing agonisingly out of reach of a Mererangi Paul on the right, diving full length into the in-goal.

The number of tackles England have had to make will really take its toll around 60 minutes.

We saw in the first half the Black Ferns punching away and wasting energy, they're playing a lot smarter, they're figuring the game out.

This is lovely rugby from New Zealand.

A cross-field kick picks out the lively Ayesha Leti-I'iga, who manages to evade Meg Jones before handing over to Kaipo Olsen-Baker for a barrel forward.

Then, brilliant execution from Maia Joseph for the 50-22. New Zealand line-out.

New Zealand are in England's face, swarming all over the world champions.

That was absolutely sensational! If you're going to put your money on anyone to score a try, it's Leti-I'iga.

It's been coming. New Zealand have run the same play three times. They have noticed they can prize open a gap between the tail of the line-out and the first defenders, which has been the wingers and in this case was Jess Breach.

Mahutariki-Fakalelu - a crucial turn-over there.

Rather like last weekend in Exeter (England 26-26 Canada), neither side has grabbed this match by the scruff of the neck.

Jess Breach makes some ground down the right for England but the move ends in a turnover. Back up to the other end of the park we go.

A bright spell of possession for New Zealand, stemming from a penalty conceded by Marlie Packer.

Amy du Plessis carries the ball up to the 22 before... yup, another handling error. Frustrating.

Time almost froze as the England backs looked around at each other. The system broke down and that is such a disappointing manner to concede a try.

The Black Ferns have never been predictable against the Red Roses, and that's why they cause problems for them.
