Men's Six Nations: England v France

Date: Saturday, 8 February Kick-off: 16:45 GMT Venue: Allianz Stadium, Twickenham

Coverage: Live on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds, with live text commentary on the BBC Sport website

Saracens centre Alex Lozowski has replaced the injured Cadan Murley in the England squad for Saturday's Six Nations match with France at Twickenham.

Harlequins wing Murley, who scored a try on his debut against Ireland on Saturday, missed training on Monday with a foot injury which required a scan.

The 25-year-old could return to the England camp later in the tournament.

Lozowski, 31, won the last of his five international caps under former head coach Eddie Jones in 2018.

He was part of Steve Borthwick's 36-man squad for last year's autumn internationals, but did not feature.

Borthwick's side suffered a seventh defeat in nine matches on Saturday, despite leading by five points at the interval, with a dominant second-half display from the hosts securing a 27-22 win.
