England agonisingly failed to capitalise on a largely dominant first-half display as world champions Australia gradually showed their class to retain the Ashes.

An England error on the left was brutally punished on the next Australia set as Cameron Munster twisted away from a George Williams tackle to score. And, with the hosts visibly rocking, another mistake presented Australia with their second try of the match.

No further disciplinary punishment has been taken against any player following the weekend's second Ashes Test between England and Australia.

The second Test between England and Australia is due to kick off at 2.30pm GMT on Saturday 1 November at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, the new home of Everton, in Liverpool.

England turned to their "Bomb Squad" to get their Autumn campaign off to a convincing start with a dominant 25-7 victory over toothless Australia at Twickenham on Saturday and make it eight wins in a row.
