Gregor Townsend has named an unchanged starting XV for Scotland's Calcutta Cup clash with England at Murrayfield.
After a Round 1 loss at the Principality Stadium against Wales, Round 2 saw Townsend's s side deliver a 32-26 victory over France.
Greig Laidlaw scored 22 of their points and the ASM Clermont Auvergne scrum-half will once again form a starting half-back partnership with Finn Russell.
Last year's Six Nations Player of the Championship, Stuart Hogg, takes his place at full-back with Tommy Seymour and Sean Maitland completing the back-three unit. Pete Horne and Huw Jones will combine in midfield.
