England beat Scotland in a scrappy contest at Murrayfield to win the Calcutta Cup and get their Six Nations back on track.

The visitors, who lost to France on the opening weekend in Paris, received a hostile reception in Edinburgh where Scottish fans booed them into the stadium.

The weather was no more forgiving as driving wind and rain caused chaos for both sides, leading to a string of errors throughout the match.

England edged the first half leading 3-0 at the break, thank to Owen Farrell kick in what was an otherwise misfiring performance from the captain.

And although Scotland regained parity in the second, a crucial score by Ellis Genge settled the contest.
