With just 3 minutes to go, England emerge from a maul with the ball, which is shuffled out to Toby Flood who launches a wonderful looping overhead pass to his right where Chris Ashton is waiting. He tucks the ball under his arm and races to the try-line. Despite some last ditch defending he touches the ball over the line. Try to England and some huge sighs of relief by the England contingent in Eden Park Photograph: Nigel Marple/Reuters
