England is currently dominating Wales with a score of 22 to 0, and the action on the pitch is gripping.
5:20 PM
33 minutes into the match, England leads 22-0 against Wales. A penalty has just been awarded against Genge for being offside after T Williams casually tossed the ball at him following a breakdown. There's no doubt Genge was offside, but one could argue that T Williams could have executed the pass more effectively, and it seemed like he cleverly drew that penalty.

32 minutes: The score remains 22-0 in favor of England. Ford has been exceptional today, showcasing his kicking skills that are skillfully maneuvering England around the field.
5:17 PM
At the 30-minute mark, the score stays at 22-0. In a fortunate turn for England, they receive a free-kick at the scrum, allowing them to regroup.
5:16 PM
29 minutes: The score is still 22-0. Chessum made a significant impact by disrupting Wales's lineout, which appeared to give England the upper hand in possession. However, it was ruled a knock-on against Chessum, who seems visibly frustrated with that decision, especially since it looked as if the ball had actually been knocked backward by a Welsh player.

28 minutes: For the first time in a considerable stretch of play, Wales finds themselves nearing the England 22. It appeared that England had reclaimed the ball on the ground, but they were penalized for going off their feet. Edwards moved quickly to kick the ball into England's 22 as Wales returns to full strength with 15 players on the field.

And just like that, Earl scores a try in the corner! England was initially denied a third try not long ago, but this time they capitalize effectively. With Wales down to just 13 players, England takes advantage, moving the ball fluidly from one side to the other, allowing Earl to cross over for a try in the left corner. Ford successfully converts the kick, extending England's lead to an impressive 22 points, putting them only one try away from earning a bonus point.
5:09 PM
23 minutes: The score sits at 15-0 for England. Unfortunately for Genge and the team, a glaring error occurred while they were pressing hard for a third try. Despite having the numbers, Genge decided to take on the defense himself and ended up being held up. They missed a real chance to score there.
5:08 PM
22 minutes: England's forward pack once again asserted dominance at a scrum situated just outside the Wales 22, resulting in a penalty for England. They had a clear scoring opportunity but faltered when Freeman threw a pass that went behind Roebuck. Had that pass connected properly, it would have likely resulted in another try. Nevertheless, they opted to return to the penalty, and Ford kicked it into the Welsh territory.
5:06 PM
20 minutes: Wales is making things difficult for themselves as Macleod commits a careless penalty by failing to retreat after a kick downfield. He was well aware that he was significantly offside yet chose not to step back.
