5 mins: First scrum and it’s great field position for England. They make good use it of and have a full set in the Lebanese 22. Quick defence from Lebanon keeps England at bay, Widdop tries a little quick through but it comes to nothing. They get another scrum though. All hands to the pump for Lebanon.

3 mins: Not a lot being given away by either side as they exchange quick sets up front. England do get deep into Lebanon half but cannot progress on the last tackle and are forced to kick.
