Ollie Chessum will make his first England start in nearly a year after being named in the second row for Saturday’s Calcutta Cup match against Scotland at Allianz Stadium.

Chessum partners captain Maro Itoje at lock, with George Martin dropping to the bench in the only change to the squad that beat France in round two.

Marcus Smith continues at full-back, with Fin Smith again starting at fly-half.

England have lost their past four matches against Scotland, with their most recent victory coming at Murrayfield in 2020.

The hosts are looking to keep alive their title hopes after overcoming France 26-25 in thrilling style.

Scotland, having won their opening game against Italy, are looking to bounce back after a disappointing defeat by title favourites Ireland.

Gregor Townsend’s side are aiming to win the Calcutta Cup for a record fifth year running, having dominated recent matches.

With two wins and a draw, Scotland have not lost at Twickenham since 2017 – when England retained their Six Nations title and equalled New Zealand’s world record for consecutive Test wins with a thumping 61-21 victory.
