Feel like we've left a try or two out there tbh. Some strange calls by the ref for both sides and missing a lot of forward passes.

England the more threatening and look like the form side after that 1st half. Wales far from out of it though....next score is the big one.

Was hoping for a score just before half time - no idea what Farrell was doing with that kick - almost like he thought we had an advantage ...

Great game. Wonderful intent from Wales to kill off early promise of early England momentum again. That was essential, and they pulled it off. Wales will look to get more fluid in the second half, as they tend to do.

Think it depends on how much the coaches have an effect at half time.we haven't played as we have in the first 2 games. Not dominating so it's a question of when does Jones bring on Genge and Launchbury....and possibly Cokanasiga.

Tight o;d game this, you don't feel it is going to be high scoring. If England score next it might be a long way back for Wales.

England haven't been as accurate with their kicking or as clinical in attack ... the last opportunity before half time for example.

AWJ trying to referee the game, as usual.

Wish he'd clear his throat

Jaco couldn't be Shiite, he ain't a Pro14 ref....

England need to keep it calm ...

Our decision making has been terrible

On a knife edge this - England probably slightly the better team but wales are still in it, and we know you can't write them off. It's a one score game.

Humour was mod’d

Pretty average display from England so far, well below the levels reached against Ireland and the first half against France, but it's enough for now.

Penalties racking up. Costing England. 6-10...

Well we've been on top it now look vulnerable. Moon for genge looks the obvious. And launchbury for Kruis.

Wales trying to play for pens now.

Interesting one - he stood still but also leaned in with the shoulder

Wales are hanging into this game, could get interesting now

Yeah I seen the comment. Don’t drink and type.

Sinckler stood still. Nothing wrong with that. Pretty irrelevant anyway.

England need changes, looking very flat.

Might as well have thrown that one straight to the SH ...

I would get Sinclair off, otherwise is going to walk anyway

I really thought we were more tactically astute, haven’t adapted at all.

I think it’s time for Biggar and Watkin, not enough attacking threat from us.

Momentum with Wales now!

Eddie obviously saw your post

Tight game , this.

Moore and Davies obviously having a competition to see who can be least impartial! 

Since when could you kick with a knock on advantage?

Shame it was Tuliagi going through the gap, not May/Slade/Daly.

Another invitation for Gatland from Parkes “Hey take me off!”

Surely they are there to represent Wales and England respectively? Why else pick them?!

Here comes Dan

The game is made for him!

Biggar is a big game player - his impact could decide the game.

Parkes has been poor.

Tom Curry has had some game

Among more English over-celebrating is Parkes putting himself in a spot of bother again.

Tom Curry - MOTM. Man of the tournament. Whatever. Phenomenal performance. Three more points.

Worth remembering Wales had a line-out on halfway a few minutes ago, then they bungled it. Now it's a four point lead to the English.

Oh dear that was like the most blatant pass to Nowell by AWJ

Missed opportunity on the left there - AWJ shouldn't have been first receiver

Oh wow... that’s the first time I’ve been impressed with Wakes ina. Number of games!

Fantastic build up to that try. Energy sapping play.

Can't say Wales don't deserve that

Farrell gave England a little breathing space ...but that sustained Welsh attack eventually cracked the England defence and now the home team have the lead.

Last ten will be a cracker...

Good try from Wales after persistent pressure.

Probably a forward pass in the initial break, but they deserve such a score because England have been woeful in this half.

Wales getting lucky with the injury and bounce....

Several Welsh players inside the 10m there ...

Why didn't Dailey kick it out when they were a man down?

A shame for Lawes but also a lifeline for us, he’s been massive for England.

Ah. They've thrown the grand slam away here.
