Two more changes for England as Charlie Ewels and Theo Dan replace Maro Itoje and Luke Cowan-Dickie.
Another penalty for Ford. This one sails between the posts and England lead by 11 points with eight minutes to go.
England make a break and Ojomoh feeds Henry Slade who crosses from close range. Ford converts.
Will Kelleher: Lovely hands from Ojomoh to find the pop for Slade. He’s had an excellent home debut.
George Ford had the chance to give England a bit of breathing room but his drop-goal attempt is wide of the left-hand post.
Will Kelleher: I was calling for the droppie all through that phase of play, as it feels England just need something to get themselves going. They’re lacking penetration at the moment, and a lot of their spark… and then Ford dragged it left.
It’s a one-point game…
England 17 Argentina 16
Another penalty for Argentina. This time Carreras takes it and makes no mistake.
Alex Mitchell is on for Ben Spencer.
Will Kelleher: Suddenly England look lost for ideas, and attacking nous. It’s all a bit frantic and ponderous. Who is going to spark them back into life?
Do England need to mix things up?
Will Kelleher: Every time England make some inroads they seem to slow the play down. The stats are saying they have kicked 29 times already today, in 56 minutes — once every two times they have the ball. They seem determined to play off the bat-backs, rather than through any other means.
Will Stuart Tom Curry, Fin Baxter and Henry Pollock are on for Ellis Genge, Asher Opoku-Fordjour, Sam Underhill and Guy Pepper.
Will Kelleher: I’m not sure why Steve Borthwick has chosen the 51-52 minute mark specifically to bring on his “Pom Squad” but it has been this time every Test in the autumn. And you feel like England need their energy. Suddenly Argentina are within four points, and it’s all a bit quiet and flat here.
Argentina cut into England’s lead
England 17 Argentina 13
Another Albornoz penalty cuts England’s lead to four points.
Piccardo makes things interesting
England 17 Argentina 10
Not the start to the second half that England wanted as Piccardo charges through to score a try for Argentina. Albornoz converts.
Will Kelleher: Game on, all of a sudden. What is it about Argentina and only starting to play when they’re way behind?
The second half is under way
England 17 Argentina 3
The action resumes at Twickenham. When will Steve Borthwick turn to his bench?
It’s fair to say Max Ojomoh is making the most of his opportunity today.
Here’s his try:

There was one other international today, as Scotland defeated Tonga 56-0 at Murrayfield.

It’s oh so quiet at Twickenham
Owen Slot: England are 14 points up on Argentina but you wouldn’t know it from the hush around Twickenham. Maybe that’s because there’s so much kicking. This is very much not an entertaining game. But maybe it’s simply because it’s Sunday late afternoon.
Cowan-Dickie crosses… but try is chalked off
England 17 Argentina 3
An England lineout ends in Luke Cowan-Dickie barrelling over to score a try just before the break… but it is chalked off after a review as the ball was grounded before the line.
That’s half time.
England 17 Argentina 3
George Ford has a chance to restore England’s 17-point lead but his penalty drifts narrowly wide of the right-hand post.
England 17 Argentina 3
The Pumas have their first points of the day, courtesy of a penalty from Albornoz.
England backing up last week’s win
Owen Slot: I’m interested in the psychology of this game. England very much need to back up their big victory of last weekend: beating the All Blacks counts for nothing if you don’t follow up against Argentina. At least that’s the thinking and that’s kind of how it looks. Argentina, meanwhile, had their statement comeback victory against Scotland last weekend. I wonder if that’s in their minds: we’ve already had our peak, we’ve already had a major achievement. Maybe they’re done; it sometimes kind of looks a bit like that.
Spencer not as snappy as Mitchell
Will Kelleher: Maybe it is just the messiness of the breakdowns, which Argentina are throwing a lot of heavy men into, but I’m finding Ben Spencer’s service so much slower than Alex Mitchell’s usually is.
The stats say that 40 per cent of England’s rucks are lasting six or more seconds, so it is not just my eyes. Mitchell is favoured by Borthwick for his speed of pass off the ground, and so far Spencer has dithered at the base a bit too much.
Feyi-Waboso extends England’s lead
England 17 Argentina 0
A fantastic cross-field kick from Ojomoh releases Feyi-Waboso, who has time and space to score England’s second try. Ford converts and it is 17-0.
Will Kelleher: Ojomoh is having a day of it on his debut! Try and an assist already, A top-class kick from the Bath man to Feyi-Waboso. Maybe England don’t have a problem at 12 after all…
Ford almost pays price for dithering
Owen Slot: George Ford has just had a clearance kick charged down — from inside his tryline. Not a place to dither, but he did seem to take a strange amount of time. Everything’s gone his way in this series so far. At least it had done…
England 10 Argentina 0
Max Ojomoh races clear to mark his first home appearance for England with a try. Ford converts and England have a ten-point lead already.
Will Kelleher: A demonstration there of rugby’s new coaching buzzword “crumbs” — the second balls that spill off those kick-and-chase knock-downs. Juan Cruz Mallia was blindsided by Max Ojomoh, who had chased well into the passing lane, and then ran it in unopposed. The game has changed so much now they have cut back on “escorting” lines to protect catchers.
Ford drop-goal puts England ahead
England 3 Argentina 0
England’s No10 wastes no time in putting England ahead.
Will Kelleher: The penultimate line of my preview was “Do not rule out more drop-goals, as this is a big game, against a good Argentina team.”
So here’s me looking all smug…
Young Argentina supporters enjoying day out
Will Kelleher: Argentina have one of the top three national anthems. Love it. Franco Molina, the lock, said earlier this week that his school side are at the game today on tour. There is a group of teenagers below us with a massive Julian Montoya flag and they are all already bouncing away below us. The Argentine support is always awesome, all around the world. Vamos!
Not a convenient kick-off time for fans
Owen Slot: One pre-match thought. Playing an England international at Twickenham with a mid/late afternoon kick-off — doesn’t that just preclude half the country from getting here? I mean, you can of course attend, but then you leave bang on the final whistle, get home late for work or whatever the next day. Not thoughtful, not all-embracing. Could do better.
England and Argentina are ready for the national anthems. Not long to go now…
Max Ojomoh gets ready for his second appearance for England. He made his debut against the United States in Washington DC in the summer but this is his first game for his country at home.

Steve Borthwick: 33-year-old Elliot Daly is my man for the World Cup and beyond
The head coach has given Daly first start since he broke his arm on Lions tour, and believes veteran’s leadership and intelligence equips him to thrive for England late in career.

Lee Blackett: Fly half drives game — but you need forwards on wings now
Before Sunday’s Argentina Test, England’s new attack coach speaks to Stephen Jones about making England more clinical, empowering forwards to play like backs and knowing when to stay quiet.

Asher Opoku-Fordjour can wreak destruction on Argentina’s creaking pack
Epic comeback to beat Scotland disguised some of the weaknesses, particularly at the set piece, in this fatigued Pumas side. It is up to England to exploit them.

Steve Borthwick has made six changes to the starting XV that beat the All Blacks, with Ellis Genge, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Asher Opoku-Fordjour, Ben Spencer, Elliot Daly and Henry Slade coming into the side.
