Helena Rowland is my player of the match. Three tries in 43 minutes on the wing. Well played Helena Rowland.

A cracking try again. What we do need to do is recognise Abi Burton's contribution in this. Great hand off. Phenomenal stuff.

Off the bench, and over the line. Trademark stuff from Abby Dow in the corner. Another fine conversion by Emma Sing.

Spain are having a good spell, if you can have a good spell while losing a game by 76 points.

The play is getting a little bit loose. Both teams are getting a little bit of fatigue.
But what's great to see is the ambition from England. They're still trying new things and playing with their heads up.

Into the final 10 minutes. England have scored 13 tries if you had lost count and are down to 14 players.

83-7 is a score you'd see England put up at cricket more than rugby but this side are just relentless in their hunt for points.

Pace from the prop there. Real pace. A great angle and she spotted the gap to come from depth and score that. She'll be really pleased with that. Not your regular prop try.

What a line from the replacement prop! She is at full speed when she receives the ball and again, there is no stopping these England forwards from close in. A terrific conversion as well from Emma Sing.

England have the ball over the line again but there is a forward pass! Unlucky.

These are the details that could matter in a World Cup I suppose. Something constructive for England to work on anyway.

It's a shame to finish a warm-up game like that. Marlie Packer's had a great game so I'm pretty gutted for her.
But that's what the referees are there for. They've looked at it closely, and the decision has been made.

I'm pretty shocked at the red. Yellow maybe? But a red card, for that?
I know you have to agree with the referee's rules but for me that's not a red card.

I think she's got herself in a funny position. I'm not sure if that's a croc roll.
I'm not sure they can give that as a yellow card. But they're having a good look at it.

First time TMO's had to come in today.
