Remember to refresh this page regularly for latest updates.

Kiwis 14-20 England

FULLTIME - England win the game and win the Baskerville Shield series. They were down 14-6 in the seocn half, but scored three tries to seal the come-from-behind win in Liverpool. 

79mins - The Kiwis will have one last set to try win it here... But another mistake to the Kiwis and the series is England. 

78mins - Penalty to England and I think it's safe to say that England have won this.

77mins - Esan Masters makes a break on the fourth tackle to set up a thrilling last tackle, but they crumble and the ball goes into touch. 

76mins - Tomkins goes for a drop-goal, but it is charged down and the Kiwis re-gather.

75mins - Sam Tomkins kicks the conversion and the hosts lead 20-14.

74mins - TRY ENGLAND - The try is given. Makinson has three and that might be the game-winning and series-clinching try. He gets the ball in space and runs hard to the line to score. 

74mins - Possible try to England here. If given, Tommy Makinson will have a hat-trick. That come from nothing. Look like he lost control of the ball, but he just kept part of his hand on the ball for it to be given.

73mins - Both teams with great defensive sets now. I think this will be won with a field-goal here. Time is off as James Fisher-Harris is down. Looks like he landed awkwardly, and he is coming off for an HIA. 

72mins - Great kick and great chase by the Kiwis as England start the set inside their 10. 

70mins - The Kiwis will have to reshuffle their backline here. 

69mins - England attack down the left wing agian they are into space, Lomax throws the ball to Makinson,and he tries to find his fullback on the inside, but his pass is forward. Time is of as Rapana is with an arm injury and he's in serious pain. He's coming off the field.

67mins - Another error by the Kiwis and these are killing their chances of building momentum. They can't afford to keep doing this. 

66mins - England are all over the Kiwis right now. On the last, they kick to the corner of Rapana, but this time he takes the catch. Then Shaun Johnson makes a big break from dummy-half. 

65mins - Connor's conversion attempt hits the post so with 15 minutes left, we have an even match. 

64mins - TRY ENGLAND - Jake Connor goes over for England the game is all square once more. England go down the shortside and Elliott Whitehead offloads the ball to Connor to score. Important kick coming up here. 

63mins - Rapana makes another mistakes and England start the set inside NZ's half.

62mins - England go wide again trying to find space. On the last, they kick high and Ken Maumalo runs the ball back at the chasing England forwards. 

61mins - Time is off as Kiwis captain Dallin Watene-Zelezniak is down. Looks like he'll be fine (hopefully).

60mins - Tom Burgess goes over the line, claiming a try for England. They go to TMO Ben Thaler and he can't see the ball on the ground, neither can I, so the Kiwis survive this one. 

59mins - A costly mistake by Rapana. He catches the ball in the in-goal but drops it so instead of it being a 20m re-start for the Kiwis, it's a goal-line dropout.

58mins - Jake Connor misses the conversion. So the Kiwis now hold a narrow 14-10 lead. 

57mins - TRY ENGLAND - Tommy Makinson has his second. They go wide and eventually get the overlap and Jake Connor taps the ball onto his winger. 

56mins - England are put under pressure and they throw the ball around and they throw it wide and Joseph Manu reaches out for the intercept. He gets one had to the ball but it goes to ground. 

55mins - Then penalty was for a late shot on Sam Tomkins from James Fisher-Harris. 

54mins - England getting some quick play-the-balls here. They kick the ball high, and then something happens back-play and then pushing and shoving starts for the fifth time. Then there are other players don't know to keep playing. Eventually, play stops and the pushing and shoving starts again.

53mins - England kick high on the last tackle and the chasers make Jordan Rapana fight for the ball. 

51mins - PENALTY GOAL KIWIS - Shaun Johnson lands the penalty goal and the Kiwis now lead by eight points. 

50mins - Another penalty to the Kiwis as time is off due to a man down in back-play. The penalty is near the posts so they will likely go for the two points. 

49mins - More pushing and shoving between both sides as the Kiwis win a penalty.

47mins - On the following set, the Kiwis practically throw the ball away and England start the set inside NZ's half. 

46mins - Shaun Johnson adds the two and the Kiwis now lead 12-6. That was such a great try. 

44mins - TRY KIWIS - Ken Maumalo goes over for the Kiwis. It started from an offloads from Leeson Ah Mau and he finds Kodi Nikorima, and then the halfback puts his captain into a massive hole with a good short ball. Watene-Zelezniak then draws in defenders and throws the ball out wide to Maumalo to score. 

43mins - Kiwis hot on the attack and they spread the ball to Esan Masters and you see him brace for impact before catching the ball and he drops it. 

41mins - Nice first set for England, ending in a high kick and safely taken by Watene-Zelezniak.

40mins - Second half is underway.

4:32am - The Kiwis are out on the field. Hopefully England will be also shortly. 

4:20am - When these two teams played a test series back in 2015, the second test finished in favour of the Kiwis, 9-2.

HALFTIME - Nothing can separate the two teams, literally. This has been one physical encounter thus far. It is 6-6 at halftime. The Kiwis had a little period where they were the better side, but England finished the half on top. 

39mins - Jake Connor misses the conversion and the scores are locked up at 6-6 just before halftime. 

38mins - TRY ENGLAND - Tommy Makinson is over for England's first try of the game and that was a beauty. They hit the ball up hard, and then they spread it wide with George Williams throwing a nice cut-out pass over the top to his winger who dives over in the corner. 

37mins - George Burgess crashes over the line for England, but the Rabbitohs forward is held up. On the last, they kick the ball and Jordan Rapana is focred to carry the ball dead.

36mins - Penalty to England right in front of the posts. They're down by four and contemplate going for the two, but they take the tap instead.

35mins - Back-to-back sets for England and back-to-back mistakes from Oliver Gildart.

33mins - Attacking kick from Johnson and this one is poor as it goes way too far. England take the quick restart tap and make good yards before being stopped. 

31mins - England make a mistake giving New Zealand a scrum close to the halfway line. James Graham just said that his side are making too many mistakes and putting themselves under too much pressure. 

29mins - Kiwis start their set just short of halfway. Can they build some pressure here as the reserve props come onto the field. 

28mins - The Kiwis kicking game has been outstanding today, especially from Shaun Johnson. His kicks have been pin-point considering how short the in-goals are. His last one landed two-metres from the line. 

27mins - The game has gone back to the arm-wrestle with both teams fighting for an advantage. England have the ball right now and they kick on the last to Dallin Watene-Zelezniak. 

25mins - England kick the ball into touch and it feels like that is the first time that has happened today. 

24mins - England make another mistake and the Kiwis swoop on the loose ball and they're off the hook. 

23mins - Another penalty to England. That had to be made as England may have scored. 

22mins - Penalty to the Kiwis close to the line. Shaun Johnson puts in a kick and he chases hard, but is hit and taken off his line... But NZ can't convert as they drop the ball and Tomkins dives on the loose ball. Then the Kiwis give away a penalty. 

21mins - England once again forced to kick from inside their half. The Kiwis are on top so far and winning the arm-wrestle, but things could change in an instant.

19mins - Tommy Makinson comes up with a try-saving tackle on Kevin Proctor. The Kiwis are two-on-one and the England winger comes up big with the one-on-one tackle which without question saved a try.

18mins - The Kiwis are claiming a try here for Jordan Rapana. Bradon Smith runs at the line and gets the ball out to Rapana who goes over. I don't think he got the ball down and the replays say the same. 

16mins - But England can't take advantage o the penalty as Oliver Gildart drops the ball looking for an offload. 

15mins - Nice defensive set by the Kiwis as England are forced to kick the ball deep inside their half, and Adam Blair chargees the ball down and it bounces back to the goal-line and England have a fresh set. Sadly for NZ, they give away a penalty. 

14mins - Good sets from both teams, as they get to the final tackle and kick high. 

12mins - The Kiwis attack down the right wing, and spread the ball to Jordan Rapana, who reaches out to put the ball over the line, but he's a metre short and then flipped into touch. 

11mins - It is all Kiwis right now as New Zealand wins another penalty. 

10mins - Shaun Johnson kicks the conversion and the Kiwis lead 6-2.

9mins - TRY KIWIS - Dallin Watene-Zelezniak goes over for New Zealand and the Kiwis hit the front. They spread the ball wide and the fullback spots a gap and beats Sam Tomkins to dive over. 

8mins - England kick high and target Jordan Rapana, but the Raiders winger takes the ball and is smashed in the process. Now the Kiwis win a penalty, then pushing and shoving starts again. Gerard Sutton has a word to both captains. 

6mins - PENALTY GOAL ENGLAND - James Connor kicks the penalty goal and England lead early in the match 2-0.

5mins - England will kick for goal here. 

4mins -Time is off as there was a lite scuffle in back-play. Sam Tomkins is hit late by Jesse Bromwich and the England players retaliate and pushing and shoving starts. Play is brought back and it's a penalty to England. 

3mins - Advantage England in the opening stages as Adam Blair is caught offside. England kick for touch and start their set inside NZ's half. 

2mins - Great defence by the Kiwis defending their line early in the match. Jonny Lomax attacks the line, but the fullback is driven into touch. 

1min - Second carry for the Kiwis and Jesse Bromwich bobbles the ball, and England gains possession 20 out from the line. The hosts knock it on,but as advantage wasn't taken, so it's a scrum to England.

KICK-OFF - Sam Tomkins gets us underway in Liverpool.

3:30am - Both teams in huddles for some final words before kick-off. The crowd is pumped, I'm pumped let's get this match going.

3:29am - Looks like there is a decent crowd at Andfield - the home of Liverpool FC - for the match.

3:23am - Both teams are out on the field. Time for the national anthems, then the Haka and after the that, the match will start.

3:15am - We're about 15 minutes away from kick-off here. Plenty on the line for this game. It should be a thriller.

3:00am - The final teams have been confirmed. Adam Blair is back for the Kiwis.
