England vs Italy LIVE: Score and updates from Six Nations as two sides trade tries in open affair

The Azzurri maul stalls, the ball is somewhere in the melee and it’s not coming out. England turnover and that’s half-time.

What a brilliant half of rugby! Thrilling stuff in the sunshine and England narrowly lead. Italy are right in this though.

England were actually pinged at that scrum – Will Stuart the man penalised and Italy have a lineout in the England 22 to end the half. Can they go into the break ahead?

Menoncello is a demon at the breakdown and he spoils the ball for Mitchell who knocks on trying to get it way.

Italy scrum in England’s half which holds firm and gives them an attacking platform.

Easy for Paolo Garbisi and no mistake this time as he slots the three points.

England try to show their ambition by playing the ball from inside their own 22 but when Willis is tackled, Vintcent is able to get over the ball and win the penalty.

This will be a simple shot at goal.

What a game this is turning into! England hit straight back with a try themselves.

They win a penalty in Italian territory and choose to tap and go. That’s in the right corne and they work the ball all the way to the other side of the field in four passes! Dingwall just gets his off to Marcus Smith before being clobbered and Smith heaves a huge throw out to Ollie Sleightholme who is all alone on the right flank.

Pace to the corner from the winger as he slides over. A tricky conversion for Fin Smith from the left touchline but he nails it! Superb kick

Ross Vintcent that is serious pace! Unbelievable from the Italy and Exeter No 8! A stunning Italy score!

Capuozzo returns a reasonably aimless kick as he weaves between defenders in his patented style and pops inside to the supporting Vintcent. He’s got 30 metres to go and turns on the afterburners by slicing between two defenders, dummying Marcus Smith with a pass and outpacing Ellis Genge and Fin Smith to the line! Class!

Garbisi adds the conversion and we’re level again!

It doesn’t matter as England immediately score anyway! What on earth is Ange Capuozzo doing? He’s caught sleeping as Daly threads a grubber kick through with the outside of his left boot.

Capuozzo doesn’t start turning to run back until Tommy Freeman is past him, the England winger collects the ball, steps inside the covering Garbisi and dives over for the score. A gift for England!

Fin Smith, who is still goal-kicking even though namesake Marcus is now on the field, slots the tricky conversion from out wide and England lead 14-7.

Celebrations from Italy! A very clever lineout by England, using Itoje as a dummy jumper and firing to Earl at the front.

He’s driven within a metre of the line but Itoje then picks up and dives over the top of the ruck. He’s nowhere near grounding the ball – he basically dived on a pile of bodies. Not the smartest move by the England captain, held up over the line. Italy will have a goal-line dropout.

Although we’re going to the TMO to see if Earl’s drive was stopped illegally. They deem not – “a clear sack” says the referee, although a couple of Italian defenders may have come in at the side. Nevertheless, they survive.

Good set from England, a couple of phases and Ruzza is pinged for a no-arms tackle on Marcus Smith.

Lineout five metres from the Italy line…
