England fought back to edge Wales 19-17 in a World Cup warm up full of incident, injury and yellow cards - and notably a red card for captain Owen Farrell that could see him suspended for their opening game of the tournament in France next month.
England led 6-0 at halftime through two Farrell penalties but a dull game at Twickenham then burst into life in the second half amid a flurry of sin-binnings.
Wales were awarded a penalty try after a tackle in the air that saw Freddie Steward yellow-carded and England were soon down to 13 with Ellis Genge and Farrell joining him. Farrell's yellow for a shoulder to the face of Taine Basham was then upgraded to red. With only two warm ups remaining he faces a strong possibility of missing the key World Cup opening game against Argentina.
Wales went further ahead with a Tomos Williams try but England's 13 men then shoved Maro Itoje over the line to get the crowd going.Reporting by Mitch Phillips, Editing by Hugh Lawson
