Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage from England’s second game of the World Cup. It was an unconvincing performance against Argentina but the English will be looking to put that right and really ignite their campaign against Georgia today.

England will come away still with things to work on but at least pleased that it was an improved performance from them
80+2
Flood fails with the conversion kick and that'll be the last kick of the game.
80+1
TRY ENGLAND! 41-10! England get one last try with the last play of the game. Ashton crosses over but he has hurt his elbow in the process. A Georgian player comes sliding in and takes Ashton's arm out. Completely accidental but the winger looks to be in some trouble.
80'
Kvirikashvili is caught only about 10m out from the English line as he tries to break from his own half. England will have a scrum and will have one last chance to score before the end of the match
77'
Foden nearly breaks through the Georgian defence but his offload in the tackle is poor and Georgia intercept. They don't get very far before England turn the ball back over. Foden finds Armitage on the left wing. Armitage gets brought down and finds Foden in the process but it's a forward pass and the try won't count
75'
Hape receives the ball before attempting the offload to Armitage on the left wing but the pass is forward and England get blown up for it
74'
Georgia steal the ball back from England through Datunashvili before Zibzibadze knocks on as he looks to break on the counter
73'
England take possesion back and Haskell breaks through the first tackle. Simpson to Hape to Steve Thompson ...
71'
England are all over Georgia but poor hands from Shaw, off a pass from Flood, allows Georgia to turn the ball over
68'

There's a lengthy delay as one of the Georgian players receives some treatment after being knocked out. He eventually manages to get up and walk off the pitch but he looks pretty dazed
66'

CONVERSION ENGLAND! 36-10! Another successful kick from Flood add another two points to the scoreline and England are firmly in control now

TRY ENGLAND! 34-10! Chris Ashton gets in on the act for England as Tom Wood breaks before offloading to Ashton on the inside of him. Ashton easily runs away from the Georgian defence before diving over the line
65'
England are beginning to look pretty dominant as Georgia clearly tire ...

CONVERSION ENGLAND! 29-10! Flood adds another two points to England's tally, he has been a great addition to the English squad this weekend

TRY ENGLAND! 27-10! England find Tuilagi from the back of the lineout and the young centre races through a gaping hole in the Georgian defence for England's fourth try. That's the bonus point for England.
61'
Georgia this time are penalised for illegal binding and Flood produces a great kick upfield ...
59'
England are penalised yet again, this time for coming in from the side ...
56'
Kvirikashvili is much closer this time with his kick but bounces the ball off the left upright and England collect the re-bound ...
55'
Both sides have lost a certain amount of momentum in this second half, with England in particular struggling. Flood is penalised for entering the tackling zone incorrectly and Georgia will have a chance to kick for points once again ...
51'
Kvirikashvili pulls his kick so far wide of the right upright, it's about 5m wide. His kicking has been pretty poor tonight, not even coming close with most of his attempts.
