The England players come on to the pitch to a flurry of flames Photograph: Tom Jenkins The All Blacks perform their famous Haka Photograph: Tom Jenkins Let's see that close up Photograph: Tom Jenkins Sonny Bill Williams shows a burst of speed to go past his former Kiwi rugby league team-mate, Shontayne Hape Photograph: Tom Jenkins Sixteen minutes in, Williams breaks then offloads to Kaino, who passes to Gear who then goes over the line as he is tackled by Chris Ashton. There's some debate as to whether it is a try or not as Gear's foot may have gone into touch before the ball was grounded. The decision is referred to the video referee Photograph: Tom Jenkins It's an anxious wait for England's coach, Martin Johnson, but he looks disappointed as the big screen says that the TMO judges have given the try. A Dan Carter conversion makes it 7-0 Photograph: Tom Jenkins Just four minutes later, the visiters get another try. They win the scrum and Kieran Read gets the ball and easily pushes through the England defence and over the line. Another Dan Carter conversion makes it 14-0 to New Zealand Photograph: Tom Jenkins A rather unorthodox challenge on Delon Armitage by Richie McCaw Photograph: Tom Jenkins Lewis Moody doesn't seem to be taking Jerome Kaino's threats too seriously Photograph: Tom Jenkins It's approaching half-time and England have a chance to claw back a couple of points before the break but Toby Flood misses a penalty Photograph: Tom Jenkins Sonny Bill Williams knocks the ball past Tindall and Flood Photograph: Tom Jenkins Ben Youngs clears the danger from a ruck near his line Photograph: Tom Jenkins Sam Whitelock and Tom Palmer compete for a line-out Photograph: Tom Jenkins Hape is tackled by Nonu Photograph: Tom Jenkins England's Dylan Hartley starts clapping as the referee signals for a TMO decision on his try.

This one is good and that makes it 23-16 to the All Blacks. England are within a score of levelling the match Photograph: Tom Jenkins However, England's hopes are dashed five minutes later when Dan Carter slots home another penalty. His kicking has been superb all game Photograph: Tom Jenkins The game finishes 26-16 to New Zealand. After the final whistle there's a tender moment when Ben Foden reaches out and gives a hug to a disappointed Delon Armitage Photograph: Tom Jenkins Whereas Flood, Care and Tindall seem shell-shocked Photograph: Tom Jenkins Lewis Moody gives his team a talking to after the match. It was a battling performance by the England side with more running play than usual and a strong scrum performance. They were let down by some dodgy defence work and some handling errors. New Zealand are a phenomenal side and one that England haven't beaten since 2003 Photograph: Tom Jenkins New Zealand's captain, Richie McCaw, is presented with the Edmund Hillary shield Photograph: Tom Jenkins
