England 15-16 New Zealand: World Champion's comeback stuns England

Sitting one point down, Courtney Lawes charged down TJ Perenara's 76th-minute box kick and the ball fell to Underhill, who weaved full-back Damian McKenzie inside out to touch down in the left corner.

After reviewing the try with the TMO, however, referee Jerome Garces judged that Lawes had been slightly in an offside position and awarded the All Blacks a penalty.

It was a marginal call and England responded with a late onslaught that failed to produce the crucial winning score, but it was a fine performance from Eddie Jones' men that will serve them well heading into next year's World Cup.

However New Zealand reminded everyone why they are World Champions, as they showed class, skill and character to fight from 15-0 down to stun the Twickenham crowd.

In their first meeting since 2014, England exploded out of the blocks taking an 8-0 lead after just 10 minutes, and led 15-0 on the 25 minute mark.

Chris Ashton marked his return to Eddie Jones' starting XV with a typical finisher's try after just two minutes. Strong carries from Underhill, Kyle Sinckler and Maro Itoje sucked in defenders and when Ben Youngs spotted an unmarked Ashton stationed on the touchline he sent the Sale wing sliding over with a floated pass.

England extended their lead further through an Owen Farrell drop goal, before a show of strength from the England forwards delivered try number two.

Co-captain, New Zealand born, Dylan Hartley was rumbled over from a powerful maul, after England earned a lineout 15 metres out.

However New Zealand, clearly rocked in the opening quarter, rediscovered their composure, despite losing influential centre Sonny Bill Williams to a groin injury, and slowly worked their way back into the contest to eat away at England's lead.

The All Blacks strung together 23 phases and through Rieko Ioane they finally threatened the try line, the breakthrough arriving soon after when McKenzie ran a brilliant line to take an inside scoring pass from fly half Beauden Barrett.

A Barrett penalty slashed the deficit to five points at half-time and when the teams emerged for the second-half Hartley had been replaced by Jamie George.

Ardie Savea dropped a poor pass by Aaron Smith with the line beckoning but a Barrett drop-goal - the first of his 71-cap career - continued to drain England's lead.

England's Youngs almost dummied his way over from an attacking scrum as play swung back in favour of the hosts, but the tourists completed their comeback to take the lead for the first time in the 60th minute through a Barrett penalty.
