It’s a penalty, but is it also a yellow card?TRY! South Africa 31-21 England (Coles, 69)A glimmer of hope! Off the line-out, they hammer the line at pace. Slade then scythes from midfield against the grain and almost slices his way through himself after collecting a perfect Mitchell pass. That takes them within a metre and Cole picks and goes over. Smith converts. 10 points. They need two scores. They couldn’t. Could they?67 min: England are camped inside the Boks’ 22. Pace is good. Pepper runs hard. Then Pollock, to the sound of boos. Opoku-Fordjour carries. They have the advantage but can’t make it work. So they have the penalty pretty much bang in front about 20 metres short. It’s kicked out to the right corner. England will try claw their way back off a line-out.65 min: A scrappy, and frankly boring, passage ends with Slade finding M Smith who kicks into space. Willemse gathers and then sends it out beyond halfway. Esterhuizen, the man who starred for Quins in midfield, is on in the back row, replacing Wiese.62 min: Pollock is on. Williams kicks high and SA almost win it back. Mitchell kicks and Willemse gathers. He has been outstanding today. SA with the ball on halfway and Williams kicks high. Kolbe chases but England come away with it. Mitchell kicks and Willemse runs it back this time. Libbok hangs in the pocket and hangs a kick down the left touch. Can you tell the game has settled on a particular pattern?60 min: South Africa win their first scrum penalty of the match! Is this the moment the tide turns ar set piece. So far England have had parity. Libbok can’t find touch, he was greedy looking for extra ground. Freeman did brilliantly there. Libbok returns the Mitchell kick and England are attacking inside their own half down the left with F Smith pulling strings.59 min: South Africa’s blitz defence is causing problems for England. The visitors get away with another break as a floated pass is almost picked by Kriel on halfway. He read it perfectly and got two hands up, but couldn’t hold on. Scrum to England just inside South Africa’s patch, slightly closer to the right touch.TRY! South Africa 31-14 England (Kriel, 58)That was too easy for South Africa! But that’s only because Willemse is just an absolute gun! Everything he touches turns to gold. It started off the line-out and a huge drive from the forwards. Then de Allende straightened the attack. Porthen and Wiese too. It was going nowhere until Willemse joined the line, stepped, wriggled and found the perfect pass to spark a move down the left. When it got to Kriel, he simply had to run it over. Kolbe lands the conversion to create some breathing room. Jesse Kriel touches down a fifth try for the home side.

Another penalty against England for taking out a Bok int he air gives Libbok the chance to kick to the corner. It’s not a very good kick so this line-out will take place on England’s 22.54 min: A lovely touch from Libbok who delays his pass and then off-loads, one-handed, under-arm for Kolbe to his right. Kolbe’s kick is poor and bobbles out of touch inside England’s 22. Good from the Boks there with PS du Toit also involved from a line-out that took them to England’s red zone. But the visitors clear well.Slade is on at 13, Freeman shifted to wing, Fayi-Yaboso is on the right wing. Murley is gone, as is JvP for Mitchell. Cowan-Dickie is on for George.52 min: My word, what a take that is from Fai-Waboso in the air, leaping ahead of Arendse to win the ball back for his side. A bit of kick tennis now. Both scrum-halves hoisting it high. Murley gives away a penalty from one, though, as he takes out Kolbe in the air. No ill intent. But that was a little reckless.50 min: JvP knocks-on off the top of a line-out, following SA’s clearance from the scrum inside their own 22. So SA will get another scrum and a chance to get down the field. This set piece, which now includse young Porthen, is inside SA territory, to the left. Dixon and van Staaden on too.49 min: Smith almost scores! He found a gap and was through. Could he pass for Atkinson to his right? Could he hold on? Neither. SA survive after great work from England following a sound maul and some stiff carries. Martin is having a great game. England are not going away. They leave this visit to the Boks’ 22 with nothing, but that was super close.47 min: England get a chance to reply as Nortje gives away a penalty from the restart. F Smith nudges it to the corner on the left.TRY! South Africa 24-14 England (Williams, 46)Finally! The pressure was immense. What was that, about 25 phases? Huge carries from the forwards then Williams flings to Libbok who finds Kriel who finds Arendse. he’s well tackled by Murley and SA almost lose it, but they keep hold of it until Williams, at the back of a ruck, spots a gap and snipes through. This conversion is good, made easier by Williams running closer to the poles. That is world class scrum-half play from one of the quickest rugby players on the planet.Grant Williams escapes to re-establish South Africa’s dominance. Photograph: Phill Magakoe/AFP/Getty Images44 min: England’s defence is holding. They’ve pushed the Boks back a touch. Those carries are looking leggy until Willemse wriggles through a half gap. But he’s held. 15 phases…43 min: Libbok kicks a little closer to the corner on the right. Big line-out this. They go to the bacl where Hanekom wins it. Wiese makes a great carry. Hanekom again. PS du Toit. They’re five out. Wiese again. Hanekom again. Du Toit again. Phew, how many of them are there? But England hold…41 min: Early penalty after a high kick becomes a scrap on the floor. Wiese with the turnover. Libbok to hoof it out back in England’s patch. The SA line-out was a little creaky. Let’s see how this one, just short of the 22, goes. Nortje rises and gathers and the Boks maul then win a penalty.Second halfThey’re back.Momentum with England but South Africa with the narrow lead.F Smith to kick off. Who will handle the altitude best?Some emails.“Why on earth is Borthwick still in charge?” asks Joshua Keeling. I don’t know, three down at half time to the world champions at their spiritual home doesn’t seem so bad.And Craig Thomas:“Shame for Fiji?
