Italy 12-17 England: Riki Flutey makes a dangerous run before Delon Armitage chips through, but an Italian boot comes in in the nick of time as England go close in the opening seconds
At the other end, Alessandro Zanni looks to cause problems for the visitors' backs as Italy provide a sterner test than some would have expected in the early stages at the Stadio Flaminio
Jonny Wilkinson kicks two penalties to keep pace with his opposite number Mirco Bergamasco, but also makes some notable misses as the teams reach the interval with the score standing at 6-6
To England coach Martin Johnson's relief, the first try of the match arrives in the 46th minute and goes to Mathew Tait but Wilkinson fails with his conversion attempt as his off day continues
The visitors look to be taking charge when the fly-half does manage to convert his next penalty but two kicks from Bergamasco make it 14-12 to bring Italy right back into the game
With five minutes to go Wilkinson sends over a crucial drop goal to extend England's lead to five points and it proves to be just enough as captain Steve Borthwick and his team-mates hold on for an unconvincing victory
