England lacking everything Scotland are delivering, in spades.

JB, London

England always let themselves down against limited but committed opposition.

What a defensive set from England that was.

Scotland keep the ball in tight and make slow progress towards the try line, but Scott Cummings hits a ruck illegally and England get away with it.

Scotland 31-13 England

Scotland appear to have coughed up possession, but they have a penalty advantage to fall back on and Finn Russell kicks to the corner.

The most points Scotland have ever got in a home match against England is 33 - in 1986.

Scotland have been the better team from the off. Simple as that!

Bobg, Broadstairs

This Scotland team looked clearly second best against Italy last week. God help England when we play Italy...

Huw Jones is now Scotland's top try scorer in the men's Six Nations (18, since 2000 only), and has scored more tries against England than any other player in the Championship (8).

Number eight Ben Earl grabs a loose ball for England, but is swarmed by blue jerseys and bundled into touch.

Scotland's scrum does the business this time and Finn Russell clears.

The hosts then pinch the ball back and are on the attack after a brilliant take from Kyle Steyn.

Scotland fans are already posing for commemorative celebratory photos, with the match going on in the background.

This is not a good look for England.

Scotland 31-13 England

For the third (I think) time today, England get within five metres of the Scotland line and knock on.

Alex Mitchell is the guilty party on this occasion.

An 'official warning' for Scotland as another scrum penalty goes the way of England.

England have played amateur rugby today, lacked leadership and authority on the pitch.

JB, Nottinghamshire

Terrible decision from Ford. Why is he drop kicking when we’re 11 points behind !!

Russell, Staines

Not one England player has stood up today. Very poor and gifted a very average Scotland team at least 21 points. The sooner heads roll the better. You’d be hard pushed to rank anyone more than three out of ten for England. And that’s being generous.

Stevo, Cheltenham

  1. Replacements

published at 18:04 GMT

Scotland 31-13 England

Henry Pollock and Bevan Rodd are on for England as captain Maro Itoje and Luke Cowan-Dickie make way.

Fin Smith - son of two Scots - is introduced for the visitors.

For Scotland, Max Williamson is on for Jack Dempsey, which will mean a reshuffle in the pack, and George Horne replaces Ben White at scrum-half.

Huw Jones - Hammer of the English!

Hames, Edinburgh

Game over. England have abandoned all the progress they've made over the last year. Awful.

Nick, Wirral

Why? Today England missing tackles, playing like they have never met and then Ford, when he doesn't have any room, tries the impossible. Self destruction

Phil, Wales

Scotland 31-13 England

England get into Scotland's 22 for the umpteenth time this half, but Rory Darge jackles and wins a penalty at the breakdown.

Flower of Scotland is echoing round Murrayfield.

Chris Paterson
Former Scotland international on BBC Sportsound

Built on defence time after time. Scotland standing up, taking the hit and then recycling.

Fagerson off the bench has already made countless tackles and has the wherewithal to pick up and then feed Jones.

It's a massive momentum swing.

That is a dagger in the heart for England. Is that the try that secures the Calcutta Cup?
