The sides are out on the field, anthems to follow
England host Canada in an international friendly. England beat the USA 43-29 a week ago, while Canada were thrashed 68-12 by Wales. Head to head the sides have met on six occasions, with England winning all of them. I'm Craig and will be taking you through the action with live updates and running commentary.
Kainoa Lloyd was one of the two players to score a try for Canada against Wales last weekend and has now scored a tally of five tries in his last four games with the Canucks.
Canada have lost their last nine games, their worst run since losing 10 in a row from August 1998 to October 1999 – a run that included a defeat to England; Canada have conceded 60+ points in each of their last three games.
England have won each of their 22 Tests at Twickenham against non-Tier One nations, by an average margin of 41 points; they have scored 40+ points in the last four such games.
