Match Commentary

81'20-15 End of half
81'20-15 End of half
81'20-15 End of second half
80'And the hooter goes and that is that. More relief than joy from the All Blacks, and England will be boosted by the arrival of the cavalry next weekend
80'Substitute on - Chris Pennell , England
80'Player substituted - Jonny May , England
80'Substitute on - Lee Dickson , England
80'Player substituted - Ben Youngs , England
78'Cruden misses by some way but England charged very early
78'20-15 Try - Conrad Smith , New Zealand
77'New Zealand pressure finally pays off, Conrad Smith goes over in the corner after a ruck close to the line
76'Owens refers upstairs as NZ pile over, the first time all game we have had the man upstairs brought into action. It looks as if it held up short and that's what Owens is saying to the TMO as well. That initiative from NZ deserved something, a gem in a scrappy game
75'Another penalty, and brilliant play from NZ as they catch England cold as they run it, just held up, what a superb break
74'15-15 Penalty goal - Danny Cipriani , England
73'Cometh the man ... boos ring round, and Cipriani answers in the best way.
72'Cipriani wins the penalty and now he has a chance from the NZ 10m line, Who writes this ...
72'Player substituted - Freddie Burns , England
72'Player substituted - Liam Messam , New Zealand
72'Substitute on - Victor Vito , New Zealand
72'Substitute on - Danny Cipriani , England
71'And here is Danny Cipriani, back after five-and-a-half years into the international spotlight. And what a time to come on
71'Player substituted - James Haskell , England
71'Substitute on - Tom Johnson , England
71'Substitute on - Dave Attwood , England
71'Player substituted - Joe Launchbury , England
71'Player substituted - David Wilson , England
71'Substitute on - Henry Thomas , England
71'Player substituted - Rob Webber , England
71'Substitute on - Joe Gray , England
71'Player substituted - Aaron Smith , New Zealand
71'Substitute on - TJ Perenara , New Zealand
71'15-12 Penalty goal - Aaron Cruden , New Zealand
70'New Zealand ahead for the first time and England now up against it with 14 men for the rest of the game
70'Yellow card - Marland Yarde , England
69'England now attack, hammering at the All Blacks's defence which is holding ... but all change as Brodie Retallick! breaks and his eventually hauled down by Yarde who is then yellow carded for not releasing. So at least we know Owens has brought his yellow card out with him. Utterly inconsistent even if that one was right
67'12-12 Penalty goal - Aaron Cruden , New Zealand
66'Aaron Cruden levels the game. England will have to start making changes as they tire but have they the depth?
65'Yarde offside as England defend, another penalty. Very kickable and this ought to level the game again
64'9-12 Penalty goal - Freddie Burns , England
63'Burns four from four. England dare to dream, but they know New Zealand will come back like a wounded animal
62'May kicks ahead, New Zealand make a real mess of gathering the ball, May regathers and is held up a metre short, New Zealand concede the penalty as they desperately try to defend
61'Mike Brown's knock-on gives NZ the scrum. They win it and then knock-on. Sums up the game so far
60'The scrum falls apart, Owens sees a knock-on, Robshaw not hugely impressed. New Zealand's pack is taking a beasting here and their backs look rusty. But they remain oh-so-dangerous.
60'Player substituted - Dane Coles , New Zealand
60'Substitute on - Keven Mealamu , New Zealand
60'Player substituted - Ma'a Nonu , New Zealand
60'Substitute on - Malakai Fekitoa , New Zealand
60'Player substituted - Tony Woodcock , New Zealand
60'Substitute on - Wyatt Crockett , New Zealand
59'This game is now opening up. England attack deep into the 22, New Zealand recover but then again a handling error from David Wilson concedes the scrum
57'Big moment, Five-metre scrum. England win, break and Ben Morgan carries it out the 22, the backs run it into the All Black 22 and a genuine attack
55'New Zealand break, a rush to the line but fittingly for this game they knock-on a foot out with the try there for the taking. Marlon Yarde caught flat footed
55'Substitute on - Charlie Faumuina , New Zealand
55'Player substituted - Owen Franks , New Zealand
55'Player substituted - Israel Dagg , New Zealand
55'Substitute on - Beauden Barrett , New Zealand
54'New Zealand start the substitute merry-go-round. Handling so far from both sides has been poor
53'England trying to run their way out of their own half, New Zealand tackle ferociously. Dagg completely misses a high ball, it breaks to Yarde who kicks ahead but diagonally into touch
50'All Black break undone by poor handling and a knock-on. Steve Hansen beginning to look like a bear with a toothache
49'Nigel Owens does rather become a yapping terrier as the game goes on. Burns bemused by a bad decsion, another case of the ball going backwards but Owens wants in
47'This is becoming on more grueling affair, England's pack looking better though
44'England defending well under pressure, now they are being tested but so far they are holding
42'Sweet break from Israel Dagg, brings the game and the supine crowd to life
41'Jonny May tries to run the ball from his own try line, gets caught but gets out of jail as New Zealand concede a penalty
41'9-9 End of first half
40'New Zealand's kick off evades everyone and dribbles into touch. Parling takes well and England press forward
40'The factory hooter sounds, Burns tries a drop goal and misses and that's the break
40'9-9 Start of second half
39'Burns charged down, Tuilagi breaks well, England attack, throwing the ball around, but come to a half about 7m out as New Zealand regroup
39'9-9 Penalty goal - Aaron Cruden , New Zealand
38'James Haskell concedes three points with a penalty almost central just outside the 22. Aaron Cruden puts NZ level.
35'Jonny May weaves his way down the touchline, oblivious of yet another handling error by England. That's the aspect of the game so far Stuart Lancaster will want to sort out, otherwise it's been good.
33'David Wilson drops the ball for the second time. England lead on handling errors 7 to 3. England better in the last three or four minutes, pressing the All Blacks
30'England being pushed back since Burns' third penalty. Brown helps England out, makes the mark and is able to clear the line to halfway
28'All Blacks' rustiness shows ... they have conceded 8 turnovers in 28 minutes
25'6-9 Penalty goal - Aaron Cruden , New Zealand
24'Robshaw concedes a penalty, comes in from the side and boots the ball. Robshaw apologies to his team. Aaron Cruden makes no mistake from 35m out
23'Robshaw concedes a penalty, comes in from the side and boots the ball. Robshaw apologies to his team. Aaron Cruden makes no mistake from 35m out
22'3-9 Penalty goal - Freddie Burns , England
21'Another penalty as NZ transgress at the scrum. But this is near the touchline and near halfway ... but that is as sweet as Wilkinson at his best
19'Ben Smith spills a high ball. New Zealand looking suspect under aerial attack at the moment
19'3-6 Penalty goal - Freddie Burns , England
18'Nice kick, it was right out on near sideline but he made no mistake. 2 from 2 for Burns
17'Perfect high kicks from Burns which Dagg spill, and the end result is England have a penalty on the 22
15'Lovely kick from Freddie Burns to the NZ 22. he saw the space and executed the kick superbly. And all that work is undone as England give away a free kick and the resulting lineout
14'Brown drops an up-and-under, New Zealand really turning the screw. Eng;and's star of the Six Nations off to a lukewarm start. Chris Robshaw is immense so far, head and shoulders above his team-mates
13'Lovely kick behind the England backs, Tuilagi just has enough to beat the rampaging All Blacks to the ball to touch down
12'Pig's ear from Mike Brown, drops the ball forward from a kick to halfway and it trickles into touch for good measure
11'Super break from England, Burns goes over but Mike Brown had thrown a forward pass in the final passage of play. But no doubt New Zealand were opened up
10'3-3 Penalty goal - Aaron Cruden , New Zealand
9'Aaron Cruden slots the points.
8'England under pressure deep in their 22. New Zealand drop the ball but they have the penalty right in front of the posts for an offside
6'May knocks on on his 22 according to the ref. Bad decision by Nigel Owens
5'And then Freddie Burns does exactly the same, only out by half a metre but still out. And another error as Youngs passes into touch
4'Nonu tries a cross kick but it sails a long way into touch to loud groans
3'0-3 Penalty goal - Freddie Burns , England
2'Penalty as Haskell cynically tugged back by Ma'a Nonu. Deliberate and that was a yellow. Saved by it being the first minute. Burns slots the kick from about 40m out. But Nonu should be on the naughty-boy step
1'Burns kicks off after a daft countdown and England punch a hole in the defence and Robshaw takes the ball into the 22
1'Cheers as the away side head out, roars as the home one follows. England have only six of the side that started in Rome out there tonight. Anthems belted out and not we are ready to get this underway ... after, love it it or loathe it, the haka. So, here we go Atmosphere is building quite nicely at Eden Park with a fair few pyrotechnics going off
1'0-0 Start of first half
