England in shock Six Nations defeat
Scotland claimed their first Six Nations win after beating England 15-9 at Murrayfield.
England head coach Brian Ashton must now expect to face the music after an error-strewn display in often dismal conditions.
His decision to ditch Wasps star Danny Cipriani backfired as England performed with no attacking flair and just as little tactical acumen.
Their outside chance of claiming the Six Nations title evaporated as Chris Paterson - Scotland's matchwinner in the same fixture two years ago - returned to haunt them.
Gloucester ace Paterson booted four penalties - he kicked five on England's last Murrayfield visit - while substitute Dan Parks landed a long-range effort.
Wilkinson, level before kick-off with Welshman Neil Jenkins' world record of 1090 points for Wales and the Lions, reached 1099, but his overall game proved below-par.
He was hauled off 10 minutes from time - Charlie Hodgson replaced him - while captain Phil Vickery also failed to last the distance.
