Rhys Williams looks disappointed after being beaten for one of the Kiwi's five first half tries. The Welsh defence were stronger in the second half as the Kiwis had to wait 22 minutes after the break before extending their lead, eventually winning the game 36-0 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

And neither do they. There's 42,344 at Wembley today – thankfully they're not all dressed like these "lasses" Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

England and Australia captains Jamie Peacock and Darren Lockyer lead their teams out Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

The Aussie second row Tony Williams, left, helps to pin down Jamie Jones-Buchanan. Williams also helped to pin back England when his try after 30 minutes put Australia in the lead for the first time in the game. Jonathan Thurston notched the conversion to give them a 12-4 lead Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Two minutes before half time Ryan Hall scores his, and England's, second try. It's a superb try, with Sam Tomkins dancing through the Aussie defence before offloading to Jack Reed. He popped the ball on to Ryan Hall, who powered past Darius Boyd and over the line Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

It's no wonder the England players and fans are delirious. Kevin Sinfield's kick hits the post so the teams go in at half time with Australia leading 12-8 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Just three minutes into the second half Australia extend their lead with a try by Greg Inglis and conversion by Thurston – 18-8 the score. Australia are smothering England's attack, here Kirk Yeaman is stopped by Lockyer and Chris Lawrence Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

England think they're back in the game four minutes later when Tom Briscoe goes over the line – but the try is controversially ruled out by referee Henry Perranara because he deemed that Briscoe was tackled as he scrambled off the floor and over the line. Cue a cacophony of boos resonating around Wembley Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

James Graham finds the Australian defence a hard thing to break through. Unfortunately the same can not be said for the England defence, as just before the hour mark Paul Gallen drives over the line and Thurston's reliable boot makes it 24-8 to the Aussies Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

On the hour mark Reed pulls some points back for the home side when he finds himself with the ball in space, yards from the line. Sinfield slots an easy conversion to reduce the deficit to 24-14 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Rangi Chase juggles past a tackle. It's an interception by Thurston from Chase's offload that gives the Aussies possession and from the next play Boyd scampers through the England defence to score Australia's fifth try. Thurston's trusty boot makes it 30-14 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

The Australian tacking is brutal, as Chris Heighington can testify after he releases himself from the grip of Keith Galloway. With five minutes to go the England player crashes over the line to score, Sinfield slotting the extras Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Just before the final whistle the visitors notch another try when Chris Lawrence squirms over the line and Thurston keeps up his 100% record with the conversion. The final score was 36-20 so it's no wonder Ben Westwood and Jon Wilkin look dejected Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer
