    Their formula is simple, running out of dummy half and bringing in people - they have run out of juice, the Lions. There is still time in this game, but the team in yellow are way up there.

    They are birds of paradise flying out there, they are on fire.

    Great Britain in deep trouble again, PNG have grabbed another.

    This time Wartovo Puara's low kick ricochets off a defender and falls nicely into the path of Justin Olam to touch down unchallenged.

    Rhyse Martin adds the two and the Lions are out on their feet.

    "We're Leeds, Rhinos, Leeds, Rhinos," sing the home supporters in honour of their captain and kicker.

    You have to say the Kumuls are well on top at the moment.

    PNG 12-10 Great Britain

    PNG turning the screw on Great Britain.

    Another testing kick through which turns Jermaine McGillvary around and the Huddersfield man can only touch the ball dead behind his own try line.

    More running repairs needed for the visitors, Jake Connor needing attention this time.

    Work to do once more for the visitors, they trail by two and this game is not going to get any easier.

    Wowee!

    They keep growing and growing the Kumuls.

    It's just effort and never give up from Boas. He loves it, that is the best dance of the night.

    I wonder if they heard that in Doncaster when he scored?

    A bit of composure needed from the Lions. They need to tighten up around the rucks.

    Watson Boas

    Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

    Edene Gebbie's kick through looks to have too much on it, but Doncaster player Watson Boas shows rapid speed to sprint past Jermaine McGillvary - who is no slouch - and dives to touch down before the ball runs out of play.

    Leeds' Rhyse Martin with the two and PNG lead.

    The first few rounds of this second half have gone to PNG for sure.

    PNG are sniffing an opportunity but Jonny Lomax takes the kick and brings it back into play.

    Ooooof, Jermaine McGillvary is then hit hardddd on the chest bringing the ball back.

    That will sting.

    This first 20 minutes of this second half is vital, it's the end of a long tour and fatigue might take its toll on the Lions.

    Blake Austin has just "spilled his lollies", says Brian Noble on comms.

    He dropped the ball, in case you were wondering.

    I actually think PNG should be ahead, I think they scored that try in the corner...

    I think Great Britain are too strong - I don't think Papua New Guinea are winning enough rucks of defending efficiently enough to win the game.

    Defensive lapses are probably what cost PNG the second try.

    The inability to get into the right spots was what caused Great Britain's second try - once Great Britain get field position they do look dangerous.
