Follow all the action from the first Test of England's summer tour.

Hill will sit down for ten minutes, Swain for the remainder of this game - and possibly the series. Australia knock on in midfield. Another penalty to Australia, this time bang in front, and I reckon we might just be all square at the half. Having lost Quade Cooper five minutes before kick-off, Dave Rennie has also seen Tom Banks and Allan Alaalatoa depart with arm and brain injuries respectively, before Darcy Swain’s moment of madness saw his evening ended by the flourish of James Doleman’s red card. It may be all square, but Australia are certainly up against it. For Australia, Quade Cooper was set to play his first Test since helping the Wallabies to a narrow win against Japan in October but after an injury in the warm-up it’s Noah Lolesio in the number 10 jersey.

The first Test of a three-match summer series begins between old rivals in Perth this morning. 40 mins: Australia boot for a lineout midway inside the England half with the clock in the red. Penalty! Australia 6-6 England Australia 6-6 England 50 mins: England scramble to save the first maul, have a penalty and kick for another lineout.

Good rumble from Valetini and then Genge infringes, blocking White's pass, so Austraila will kick to touch, about 35 metres out.

Bends that in inside the left post and England take the early lead. England have certainly promised to ramp their attack up in this series but we'll believe when we see it. Now an advantage for hands in the ruck and after a drop, Australia stick that into touch on England's 22. Curry slashes through, good pass wide to Marchant and that's a super tackle from Koroibete to keep him out. Banks coming down after going for a high ball looks to have fractured his arm - Australian TV showing it twice which was not needed! Bit of kick tennis before Australia try to launch something within their half... Good turnover by the Wallabies on Smith who was a bit isolated, and now Australia clear. Australia five metres out, with an advantage, going wide but now backwards after a pass goes to ground. Outside the Wallabies' 22 and now England have an advantage for not releasing. England were poised to strike. And the maul delivers. High kick taken by Kellaway but he gets hammered by Cokanasiga, and then Ludlam turns the ball over...

But Cooper was ruled out of the match at the 11th hour after a warm-up injury, meaning Noah Lolesio starts and James O’Connor comes onto the bench. Rob Valetini. Noah Lolesio was promoted to the starting line-up as his replacement, with James O'Connor drafted onto the bench. Rob Leota, 7. However, the Australians were not at full strength, so it will be interesting to see how they perform with their stars back on duty. Joe Cokanasiga, 10. British and Irish Lions star Courtney Lawes assumes control of Eddie Jones' side on the field for the first Test down under. Joe Marchant, 12.

Taylor said: "It's been a real privilege to come here for an honorary degree, more so to experience and be part of the celebration with everybody else receiving their degrees. We know what it takes to get out of a situation like this and what you will do to to get out of it. “It’s motivation to win and turn the ledger," the captain said. Folau struggled to make an impact in front of 15,000 fans at Fiji's National Stadium, getting just one touch of the ball before being forced to limp off with his team already 19-0 down. “You really want to build up that rapport, get to know the person, what he likes, how he defends and how he attacks, what he likes to do,” he says, before adding: “It’s on us as centres to really lock this down and give no excuses to be swapped in and out. "If he can get his choice of tackle right and power in his tackle right, then Tommy Reffell comes into the game, Faletau - world-class player, we know what he is. "Knowing the Wales players, they are not going to be thinking about giving up any time soon. History hasn’t been in our favour for quite some time now against the English and we’re keen to rip in. “They’re always a tough outfit. "I don't celebrate that [Italy defeat] because we are not ones to be laughing at anyone," he said. "We've been there and we know what it feels like.
