WATCH - England 38 Scotland 38: Scotland's stunning comeback ended in dramatic fashion as England rescued

Brilliant Scotland - who have still not won at Twickenham since 1983 - sunk to their haunches having missed out on the greatest comeback in Six Nations history, the hosts eventually rescuing a draw.

The visitors had been 31-0 down after just 29 minutes but, remarkably, Gregor Townsend’s side levelled the game at 31-31 by the hour mark to leave stunned England holding on.

Scotland - depleted and 10/1 outsiders before kick-off - then took the lead as Finn Russell, their superb fly-half, sent Sam Johnson cutting through the middle, the centre swatting off England full-back Elliot Daly (twice) and Jack Nowell to go between the posts.

Greg Laidlaw converted for a 38-31 lead but, in heartbreaking fashion, they could not hold on.

England kicked a penalty to the corner and, though they repelled the drive, the pressure kept coming.

Eventually, Scotland’s exhausted defence could not hold on and Ford skipped over between the posts in the 83rd minute, converting to level an astonishing game.

The Leicester Tigers fly-half had come on for Owen Farrell in the 70th minute, a change that had surprised the captain who looked bemused as his number went up.

But it proved the right call by boss Eddie Jones in the end, as Ford came up trumps.

Farrell had endured a mixed night, given away and intercept try to Russell and also being charged down by Stuart McNally, the Scotland hooker who then beat him in a foot race from halfway to start the visitors’ comeback.

Farrell was also penalised for a shoulder charge on Darcy Graham as the winger kicked downfield.

With the game level, Laidlaw missed the difficult kick 68th minute kick but Farrell - fortunate not to be yellow carded - was replaced moments later.
