BBC SCOTLAND REPORT: Scotland scored three tries to earn a thrilling first victory over England since 2008 and open up the Six Nations title race at an exultant Murrayfield.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Centre Huw Jones scored two tries – Scotland’s first against England at home in 14 years – and Sean Maitland grabbed another as the hosts led 22-6.<\/p>\n

Owen Farrell landed two penalties, and his converted try on the resumption brought England to within nine points.<\/p>\n

But Finn Russell’s penalty after a Sam Underhill shoulder charge sealed it.<\/p>\n

Underhill was yellow-carded for his no-arms challenge, giving Scotland a man advantage from the 66th to the 76th minute.<\/p>\n

It was only a second defeat for England in 26 Tests under head coach Eddie Jones, and ended their hopes of a second Grand Slam in three years.<\/p>\n

They remain in contention for a historic third successive Six Nations title, but now trail leaders Ireland – who they face in the final round – by five points.<\/p>\n

After a break next weekend, England will face France in Paris on Saturday, 10 March, while Scotland – after a sixth successive home Six Nations win – will head to Dublin to tackle Ireland earlier the same day.<\/p>\n
