The Haka seems to have done it's job as the All Blacks take the lead in the just the second minute. Kieran Read shows great strength and offloads from the left hand touchline despite three England tacklers holding on.

England get their first points on the board a couple of minutes later when Owen Farrell slots a penalty between the sticks from 40 metres out. However Dan Carter restores the seven point difference when he slams home his 15 metre penalty Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

New Zealand further their lead when Owen Franks makes a burst straight through midfield. Mike Brown stops him but a quick ball allows Israel Dagg to draw his man and put Kieran Read in on the right

After England were denied a try after a TMO referral when they drove the ball over the line but the video ref couldn't establish if the grounded ball was carried over the line. Natural justice arrived a few minutes later when the TMO referral went in England's favour after Joe Launchbury went over. Farrell coverted then a raft of penalties from both sides meant the score was England 16 New Zealand 20 when the teams went in at half-time Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

After conceding the try there's more bad news for the All Blacks in the 26th minute when Dan Carter's special celebratory golden boots are trudging off the pitch when he limps off with an ankle injury Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Just past the hour mark the visitors put some daylight between the two sides again when they score their third try of the game.
