Jonny Lomax is the latest Great Britain player to get within touching distance of the tryline on their fourth tackle.

John Bateman attempts to kick and chase to find a route through but it's well caught by Jahrome Hughes as New Zealand are once again forced to restart within their own 10.

Another agonisingly close run to the line from Great Britain!

This time Gareth Widdop offloads to the onrushing Jermaine McGillvary on the wing but he's well tackled right on the verge of the turnover.

This is some period of dominance for the visitors. New Zealand don't know how to deal with Great Britain's pace with the ball at the minute.

Great Britain are in the ascendancy here. They've got to turn it into some points.

New Zealand are playing a dangerous game, here.

What looks like half the Great Britain players on the field manage to hold up the Kiwis into their own in-goal area and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck manages to escape with the ball before he wins a penalty after drawing a high tackle.

Wayne Bennett's Lions side look inspired and somehow, they don't have a try for their efforts. Yet.

A succession of smart passes from Great Britain see them get on the verge of the whitewash again, but the ball is lost and New Zealand get a set of six of their own.

This is better from the visitors. After a shaky start, they're beginning to put the pressure on the Kiwis.

Jermaine McGillvary makes a stunning catch from a high New Zealand kick. The Huddersfield man was under pressure from two onrushing New Zealand players as well, making the feat even more impressive.

Meanwhile, Alex Walmsley is the victim of a robust tackle from Briton Nikora and Benji Marshall which draws the ire of James Graham.

'That's a crusher!' he bellows at Chris Kendall, who awards Great Britain a penalty.

I've been impressed with Great Britain's line speed. They've restricted New Zealand to their 30-40 metre mark when they've been coming from their own end. That's been an impressive part of their game so far.

Great Britain are in the ascendancy for once following a period of indiscipline from New Zealand.

Great Britain run out of tackles just past the halfway line once again and this time, Jackson Hastings puts in a neat grubber kick into an area of space.

However, New Zealand are on hand to mop up the ball and make another move downfield to put the pressure onto the visitors.

Brian Davies: Arrgh! 6 minutes in and two penalties from Great Britain. Have we learned nothing from last week?

It's fair to say it's been a bit of a shaky start for Great Britain, who have barely threatened to enter New Zealand's half so far.

However, James Graham and Tom Burgess batter their way into space as the visitors finally make a move into the opposition 10.

John Bateman almost finds his way through into scoring the game's first try just before the turnover but he's well held up by the New Zealand back line.

New Zealand have bullied their way into Great Britain's half and their persistence - or Great Britain's mistake, depending on how you look at it - results in a penalty for the hosts.

The Kiwis go for the two and Jamayne Isaako makes no mistake with the boot.

This will be a huge blow. He's come in for Shaun Johnson, who lacked a little bit of game-management last week against Australia and that's what Foran is good at.

Play is halted as New Zealand's Kieran Foran receives some treatment to his shoulder. He looks in a fair bit of discomfort.

It appears he's come off worst in a tackle on Great Britain's James Graham.

Foran came in for Shaun Johnson and it could be a big blow to the hosts if his match comes to an end inside the opening stages.

I always thought this game would have an element of conservativeness about it after the way both performed last week.

Who is going to be the braver team in relation of trying to break the game up?

Jonny Lomax has come in for his St Helens team-mate Lachlan Coote at full-back today and he's looking assured with ball in hand so far.

Both of these sides still sizing each other up thus far, with a fair bit of chip and chase in these early stages.

Great Britain get the first of this two-Test series under way.

Challenge issued. Kick-off is on its way soon.

New Zealand group together and make the formation.

It's a sight to behold.

Great Britain head coach Wayne Bennett:

"I want us to be better than last week. At this stage of international football it's about pressure and if you can't build it, you won't have a lot of success with the ball. Alex Walmsley was very good last week but there's a lot of good players. We want to get better."

New Zealand head coach Michael Maguire: "I think defence is going to big part of what our game's about. If we work hard there, we'll create our opportunities at the other end of the field. Every single player is a leader at some stage on the field. You carry the ball or make a tackle, you're a leader in the Kiwi team."
