    Joe Coyd is at it again. Mason Billington, what a fantastic player. He draws the opponents in, and avoids having the tag taken before getting away the pass. Coyd has some work to do. Get out of the way, Hivernat! Try time Coyd.

    TRY - England 38-28 Francepublished at 58 mins

    Joe Coyd (con missed)

    It's four for Joe Coyd!

    Dany Denuwelaere doesn't snag the tag of Mason Billington, who holds the ball up well before passing left to Joe Coyd. Bumping off Leo Hivernat, who crashes to the floor, he extends England's lead to 10 points.

    Nathan Collins drags the conversion wide.

    Jack Brown breaks through the middle, carrying England to the brink of another score.

    Rob Hawkins has another crack in the corner, but this time he's denied.

    England 34-28 France

    It's a bit untidy and desperate from France, who have tackles in the bank around halfway before a wild pass, dropped by Leo Hivernat, hands possession back to England.

    England 34-28 France

    Nathan Collins kicks to the right corner and a French hand just beats Rob Hawkins to the bouncing ball.

    Another France dropout. Feels ominous.

    A moment of applause for the individuals in the yellow shirts who rush onto the court to disentangle the chairs after hefty collisions. Unsung.

    England 34-28 France

    Nearly a fourth for Joe Coyd on the left but England are pinged for a forward pass. Relief for France.

    Nathan Collins' eyes lit up there as he raised the ball for an offload mere metres from the tryline but he's halted by Jonathan Hivernat.

    Penalties are stacking up against France.

    England will have a repeat set deep in French territory.

    England 34-28 France

    England are struggling for metres, trapped deep in their half on the fourth tackle.

    Nathan Collins brings the ball up to halfway before Jack Brown delivers a pinpoint kick on the last.

    Under pressure from a charging Mason Billington, Nicolas Clausells concedes the dropout.

    Jack Brown, under pressure from the restart, concedes the dropout.

    Can France continue this fast and furious start to the second half?

    That was completely against the run of play - there was nothing doing there. But you cannot invite Rob Hawkins in like that, because will take the chance.

    Rob Hawkins (con Nathan Collins)

    IMMEDIATE RESPONSE!

    Jack Brown drives at Jeremy Bourson before popping the ball over the Rob Hawkins for his second of the match. Great composure to dot down in the corner.

    A costly knock-on from France from the restart.

    Four from four from the tee for Nathan Collins.

    Dany Denuwelaere (con Leo Hivernat)

    Great chair handling from Dany Denuwelaere to nip in between Nathan Collins and Mason Billington for France's fifth try.

    Did he lose control as he grounded it? The replays suggest he might have but crucially, the referee thinks not.

    Leo Hivernat converts.

    England 28-22 France

    France are looking hungry immediately after the break, aided by a couple of big carries from Jeremy Bourson.

    It takes three players to stop Dany Denuwelaere and he wins a penalty a few metres out in the process.

    It's lived up to all the hype and more this game, hasn't it? What a half of rugby league we've witnessed.

    The second half is under way in Wollongong.

    England lead by six points but will they lift the trophy?

    Thumbs up if you think England are winning this. Thumbs down for France.
