"Coach Vern Cotter will be mildly pleased with the way that his team has played, particularly defensively - although he won't tell his players that.

"You look at New Zealand's points and they have come from Scotland mistakes. That's what New Zealand do - force teams into errors and take advantage.

"Vern Cotter will really be impressing on Scotland's players at half-time that they have to be committed to every single tackle and do everything right in the second half."

They couldn't, could they? A first win in 30 attempts?

Well there's only four points in it at the break - 40 minutes to make history lads.

"There's no reason for Scotland to be downhearted, they have battled well, and matched New Zealand physically but I would like to see them more with the ball in hand."

Jonny Gray's mishap did not matter as it was an advantage to Scotland, but at the resulting scrum the hosts are pinged and Dan Carter confirms he has recalibrated his sights with another penalty.

"There's been a lot of handling mistakes, and one or two charge downs, which is a big area of the game these days. Scotland are being brave in attack and if they can keep this up the chances will come."

It was like Jonny Gray was suddenly struck by agoraphobia just then. New Zealand spilled the ball inside the Scottish 22 and when Gray picked up he had 80m of open space in front of him.

The second row made about three metres before the ball squirmed out his grasp like an agitated carp.

"Never mind how Scotland have played in the past 36 or so minutes - it's these next three and a half minutes which could be crucial to this match. If Scotland can keep the score to this then they will feel very good about their first-half performance. They have got to keep the All Blacks out."

The New Zealand line-out is falling apart and yet another turnover leads to a shot at goal for the hosts.

Up steps scrum-half Greig Laidlaw, over goes the kick and back to one point goes the lead.

Shame Geoff Cross immediately conceded a penalty at the kick-off for the hosts though - Dan Carter kicks it to the corner.

"The excitement of that Tommy Seymour try has subsided as the All Blacks have retaken the initiative and the lead, but perhaps more worryingly, some key men have been forced off with injuries. Can Scotland stay with the world champions until half-time?"

"Scotland when they get the ball need to go through a few phases, not kick the ball away, and keep the momentum."

There's 10 minutes to the break, you feel this is the time New Zealand will lift the tempo.

Lo and behold, Scotland are turned over inside the New Zealand 22 and a minute later Dan Carter has a shot at goal. Inevitable.

Scotland have also lost Euan Murray, but Finn Russell is coming back onto the pitch after a knock.

Whoops. Dan Carter spills a pass but manages to recover and clear to touch. A long way from his best the All Blacks fly-half at the moment.

TJ Perenara is not awarded the try but Dan Carter lines up the penalty and the visitors are back in front.

It's like the All Blacks have just woken up to the fact they're losing.

The visitors pounce on a Scottish error, move it through the hands and TJ Perenara tries to burrow over - the TMO will make the decision, and the ABs have a penalty coming anyway.

If Perenara has got that down it's an amazing finish as he was on his back and held by about five Scottish defenders.

"Scotland are giving New Zealand something to think about. They are mixing it up, have been competitive and New Zealand know they are in a game."

"I don't mind seeing this ambition from Scotland, they will not beat the All Blacks playing a conventional game, man for man - take them on."

Scotland's Tommy Seymour has scored in consecutive Test games for the first time and now has three tries in his last five games.

Midway through the half and Scotland more than holding their own.

Scotland's Kiwi-born back rower Blair Cowan has the most remarkably glossy curls I've ever seen on a flanker by the way.

Not sure what former Scots flanker John Jeffrey would make of that, he was more used to sheep dip than conditioner.
