54th min Josh Hodgson off, James Graham back on. Suspect that's all we will see of Hodgson tonight. He's been very good. Adam Milner, who was already on the field, playing at dummy half.

62nd min TRY FRANCE to Theo Fages, just a great individual run from the five eighth. The England defence has understandably switched off a little. Converted by half William Barthau from close to the posts.

65th min Looks like France had scored through Tony Gigot, and strangely the referee has ruled a line drop out. It's either a try or a knock on by France. And the replay shows it was a try.

Bennett's England thrash France ahead of NZ series
Some new faces impressed as Wayne Bennett's England warmed up for their upcoming series against New Zealand with a 44-6 thrashing of France in Leigh.
Winger Tom Johnstone scored a first-half hat-trick in his Test debut as Bennett called up four new players to his team ahead of their first clash with the Kiwis next weekend (12.30am, October 28 AEDT).
"We're pretty well covered in those positions, but he's someone I've noticed in the last 12 or 18 months and I've been waiting to give him an opportunity," Bennett said of Johnstone in his post-match press conference.
England (38) 44
