England are slowing the ball down well. The ref hasn't tolerated anything in the ruck today and England are doing well here. Hodgson does find touch and the full time whistle blows.
79'
North tries a quick pass on the right but gets it all wrong. It's now keep-ball time for England now before Hodgson finds the corner.
78'
Wales are given a penalty as Banahan is offside. Priestland, who has been pretty ambitious this afternoon, kicks very well again into touch. Wales need just one try.
77'
Wilkinson is replaced by Charlie Hodgson. Strange. Why just give him four minutes of playing time?
76'
SUCCESFUL CONVERSION - Priestland's kick is good. It wobbles trhough the air but is accurate.

TRY - WALES!! The visitors reach their 10th phase. Warbuton makes a great step to his left and goes through. he's brought down but Wales have men over on the right. They move it that way, allowing North to score.
74'
Wales work it down the right. North receives it on the flank but is brought down. Williams takes over, looking for his second score of the day. They're building up, the Welsh.
73'
Wigglesworth puts into the scrum and England drive forward. Wilko receives the ball and kicks cross-field for Sharples. Williams catches well and offloads.
72'
North's attempted catch is fumbled and goes forward. Warbuton picks it up and bursts through the centre but is stopped in his tracks with a shriek of the ref's whistle.
71'
Corbisiero is off and Stevens is on. It looks like Stevens will be a shoe-in for a place in New Zealand.
70'
Wales are given the penalty as England are offside. North goes for a quick one but puts too much boot on it and nearly kicks it over his head. Very poor. Wales lose possession.
69'
NO TRY!! Warbuton's forearm hits touch before he puts the ball over the tryline.
68'
Charteris is the man who is hit at the line-out.England don't expect Wales to peel away down the front. The Welsh go over but the ref isn't sure. We'll have the decision from the video ref.
67'
Wigglesworth snatches the ball off the Welsh into the corner and kicks long down the wing. Top stuff from the sub. Wales are given the advantage for not being given the chance to allow the game to flow. It's into the corner again.
66'
North tries to break through. He really hasn't been able to get away in open play today. Wales are given the penalty. The kick into the corner.

Bennett is off - Burns is on. James is off - Bevington is on. A-W Jones is off - Charteris is on.
64'
Priestland misses out Roberts and allows for Davies to go down the centre. The ball is worked down the left to Scott Williams. Priestland then kicks forwards but it just drifts into touch.
63'
Wilko will now take over as captain. The referee resets the scrum twice, yet again, as he's not too happy with the England side taking the it down.

Moody is limping off the pitch. He doesn't look to great. Will that keep him out of the World Cup. England will certainly hope not. Wood is on.
61'
DROP GOAL - ENGLAND!! Sharples is straight into the action. He gathers some pace down the right before handing it to Sharples. The ball finally falls to Wilko who looks up and places the ball straight between the posts. Great decision making.
