England vs Scotland live: Latest score and updates from World Cup quarter-final as Red Roses cruising to extend unbeaten run

TRY! England 40-3 Scotland (Holly Aitchison, 66 mins)
England keep it tight and bash a couple of carries up the middle. They then flick the ball left, Holly Aitchison takes an inside pass from Harrison and crashes between tacklers for the score. Beautifully worked.
Aitchison converts her own try for good measure

Well, you don’t see that every day. Two balls on the field! As England take the lineout, a member of the crowd throws another ball on to the pitch. That’s unfortunate.
Play stopped, five-metre scrum to England.

The England driving maul rolls once more and Packer tries to dart off the back of it but Scotland do hold firm.
Penalty advantage again for England so Aitchison lofts a cross-field kick but it’s too long and into touch. Surely a card soon for Scotland?
Regardless, England back to the corner…

England knocking on the door again but just as it opens, they trip up the step. That analogy might not quite work, apologies… I need to get myself in knockout rugby form.
What I’m trying to say is that England have the tryline at their mercy, five metres out but the final pass is knocked on and Scotland have the scrum.

NO TRY! England 33-3 Scotland, 57 mins
England think they’ve scored as they attack again, the kick goes through and Jones dives on it in the in-goal area.
But Orr has juuuuust beaten her to it, so it’s a goal-line dropout. Fantastic scrambling defence from the Scotland centre.

‘Scotland dismantled at the set piece and on the gain-line’
Our Rugby Correspondent Harry Latham-Coyle is at Ashton Gate and concurs that the game is drifting slightly.
“Ellie Kildunne and Lilli Ives Campion are England’s appointed percussionists today, those not involved in the matchday squad having taken on the role of literally drumming up support during the tournament.
“The crowd are just starting to drift a bit with a slightly bitty game unfolding in improving conditions that are still nonetheless nasty – and it really hasn’t been that much of a contest, in truth, with Scotland dismantled at the set piece and on the gainline.”

Things have got a bit slow and scrappy over the past few minutes – a couple of reset scrums not helping things.
Scotland surge into the England half. Can they do anything here? Smothering defence from England and the chance dissipates.

Scotland with a great attacking opportunity, in the England 22 and going through the phases. It would be lovely if they could score a try.
But they lose the ball, England advantage and the hosts clear.

A big moment. Jade Konkel, the Scotland stalwart No 8, is subbed off and as she’ll be retiring from international rugby after the tournament, this is likely her final game.
Tears on the sideline as a great servant to the game hangs them up.

TRY! England 33-3 Scotland (Amy Cokayne, 46 mins)
England get the driving maul rumbling again from the lineout and you’re not stopping that.
Amy Cokayne steering from the back, gets over the line and touches down for try number five. Easy conversion and England rolling here.
