Shaun Briscoe: Busy afternoon on defence, could hardly be faulted for any of the Australian tries. 6

Tom Briscoe: Unable to make an impact before going off at half-time. 5

Lee Smith: Little impact in attack before the break but moved onto the wing for the second half and took his try well. 6

Michael Shenton: Given a thankless task and was anonymous throughout. 5

Ryan Hall: Struggled on after being troubled with a shoulder injury but unable to add to his 34 tries this year. 5

Danny McGuire: Worked hard to spark the England attack but to little avail. 5

Sam Tomkins: Largely anonymous in the first half but brought his home crowd to life with a few jinking runs and also some brave tackles. 7

Adrian Morley: Toiled non-stop in defence. 7

James Roby: Worked non-stop in a whole-hearted performance. 6

James Graham: One of England's best, produced some telling and crucial tackles. 7

Jamie Peacock: Not one of his best displays in an England jersey. 5

Gareth Ellis: Another fully committed effort rewarded with a try. 7

Kevin Sinfield: A few neat kicks and threatened the Australian line with a couple of half-breaks. 6

Substitutes:

Eorl Crabtree: Pepped up the England attack with his strong running and damaging offloads. 8

Sam Burgess: Put himself about in attack and defence and took his try particularly well. 7

Ben Westwood: Part of an effective bench, justified his selection with some tremendous work. 7

Kyle Eastmond: Came on at centre at half-time and did not look out of place against Greg Inglis. 6
