Elliot Daly's late effort clinched a bonus-point win for England
A superb England performance saw them get their Six Nations campaign back on track against an error-filled France, sealing a 26-25 victory at Twickenham courtesy of a last-gasp Elliot Daly try.
Louis Bielle-Biarrey scored for France with five minutes to play to seemingly steal a dramatic win but England had other ideas.
Centre Ollie Lawrence, wing Tommy Freeman and replacement prop Fin Baxter also scored tries for the hosts as they fought back from six points down in the second half to lead by a point with nine minutes to play against a heavily-fancied French side.
Wings Bielle-Biarrey (two) and Damian Penaud scored tries for France, with full-back Thomas Ramos adding eight points via his boot.
Marcus Smith missed five points off the kicking tee, while in the absence of the suspended Romain Ntamack, Antoine Dupont was shifted to fly-half for France in the second period.
