41 min: Back underway! England immediately on the front foot as they look to hit back immediately. Brown makes up ground before France turnover the ball.

43 min: England make ground with Lark Davies and reach the 22-metre line before they are penalised again! France win the penalty.

43 min: YELLOW CARD! Oh dear! Banet has kicked Cornborough while on the floor and initially it looks to be a red card but referee Davidson then re-watches it and sees that Banet’s right-foot was being held when she pushed out with her left. So it’s been downgraded to a yellow.

Can England make the most of this?

45 min: England sense an opportunity and charge forward. They win the penalty after Ferer lifts the leg of one of the Red Roses players during a challenge.

The hosts opt to kick to touch again and this time they get their line-out right…

46 min: TRY! Millar-Mills takes the line-out brilliantly and then it’s just a case of pushing for the final few metres to get over the line.

Lark Davies is the one who touches down to narrow the gap.

47 min: No conversion for England as Riley hits the post but the deficit halved.

49 min: Three more minutes for France to survive with 14 as they look to use attack as the best form of defence.

Penalty to France and they look to go for the points through the boot of Drouin,

51 min: It’s good! Brilliant kick from Drouin as she makes it look easy from distance. Eight point lead for the women in blue.

53 min: Ten minutes up. Banet went off at 15-5 and comes back on at 18-10. France will take that.

Tremouliere is also on for the visitors. Frightening proposition for England.

56 min: It’s becoming a war of attrition now as England look for a way through with McDonald. They make their way into the France 22 after a long spell of build-up.

The hosts are being patient here as they continue to probe but the French are standing firm.
