Clockwatch: Wales 15-44 England
Jonny Wilkinson breaks to set up an England try
All the key moments live from the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff as England's speed and solid defence overwhelm Wales in a 44-15 victory.
2mins: Video referee rules in favour of England after Balshaw just gets to Gibbs chip ahead of Dafydd James. 6 mins: Balshaw knocks on with overlap gaping as England break from their own 22. 7 mins: Luger off with blood injury. Healey on. 9 mins: Jenkins misses penalty after England caught offside. 13 mins: Greenwood scores try for England after Wilkinson makes searing break, although Wilkinson's pass looks forward. Wilkinson converts. 15 mins: Greenwood' second try after fantastic break by Balshaw and off-load from the tackle. Conversion missed. 18 mins: Jenkins kicks Wales' first points after penalty for offside. 19 mins: Wilkinson slots penalty after Gibbs penalised for holding on.
21 mins: Rob Howley scorches away from halfway to score a try in the corner after Charvis robs English ball at a ruck. 30 mins:Dawson darts over for a try from a quick tap penalty as Wales' defence goes to sleep. Wilkinson converts. 33 mins: Jenkins misses penalty. 37 mins: Dawson bursts from the back of a ruck 30 metres out and side-steps Stepehn Jones extravagantly as England surge into the lead. Wilkinson converts. Half-time: Wales 8-29 England. 41 mins: Greenwood completes his hat-trick after England spread the ball wide following a charged down kick and he pulls off a scissors with Healey. Conversion missed. 45 mins: England win scrum against head on own 22. Break up field sees Balshaw just fail to gather ball while diving over Welsh line. Pace of English backs awesome. Andy Moore replaces Chris Wyatt for Wales. 49 mins: Welsh opportunity goes begging after ball recycled slowly from ruck when Charvis bursts for line. Quinnell eventually held up short. 52 mins: Taylor almost decapitates Balshaw with an unintentional high tackle. 54 mins: Mark Jones on for Wales to win first cap. 56 mins: Wilkinson kicks another penalty after Wales come into the ruck at the wrong side. 58 mins: Mark Jones' first action as he tackles Cohen on the break. 59 mins: Perry replaces a groggy Balshaw. 60 mins: Cohen scores England's sixth try as he slices through the Welsh defence, which bizarrely has props Dai Young and Darren Morris in midfield. 62 mins: Woodman on at prop for England.
65 mins: Scott Quinnell dashes 25 metres to score after Rob Howley darts blind from the back of the ruck. 66 mins: Spencer John on for Darren Morris. 67 mins: Bateman on for Taylor. 69 mins: Martin Corry on for Dallaglio. 71 mins: Wales enjoy repeated phases of posession but fail to pierce England's impressive defence. 80 mins: Moon on for Howley.
