    They've finally broken down that Australian defence. It's got to be said the All Blacks have benefited from a few decisions to be in the Australian end, but that's clinical finishing. Just the timing of the runs have been exemplary.

    Australia could have had 30 men on the pitch and they would not have stopped that try. I've not seen anything like it.

    Lovely, all-court, 15-man running rugby from the All Blacks, finished off by the most dangerous man on the pitch.

    Ben Smith switches the ball inside to Aaron Smith, who spots the overlap and springs Nehe Milner-Skudder into the corner.

    But was there an accidental offside a few phases back - it looked like Ma'a Nonu ran into his own man but Nigel Owens stayed silent.

    A dead-eyed conversion from Dan Carter and the All Blacks head inside for half-time with a commanding lead.

    The ball was quite clearly forward.

    Dan Carter makes it three out of three. Spotless so far off the tee from the All Blacks main man.

    Kurtley Beale with a lovely aerial take, plucking the ball out the sky and spinning free of a couple of defenders.

    Great cover from Ma'a Nonu to snuff out the spritely replacement.

    All Blacks with the line-out. Safe and sound and a burst down the left wing. Ref Owens misses a forward pass from Milner-Skudder and awards a penalty the way of the All Blacks.

    Jeers from the crowd as Dan Carter lines up his kick.

    The Australians have a line-out shaped problem.

    Stephen Moore lobs it clean over the back and All Black scrum-half Aaron smith gratefully gobble sit up.

    They need to tighten up there. And sharpish.

    One for the spotter's guide.

    Number eight Kieran Reed is back deep, fields a long kick and comes over all Zinzan Brooke in 1995, putting boot to ball.

    A thumping up and under from the forward, but Australia have claimed it. And won a penalty. Which they kick into All Black turf.

    A second change for Australia. Inside centre Matt Giteau has copped a heavy hit trying to tackle Kieran Read and is off with concussion.

    Kurtley Beale is on in his place.

    Dan Carter plonks it through the middle, kicking boot swinging true and fast through the ball.

    Sekope Kepu's arm strays north in a tackle on Dan Carter, effectively handing off the All Black fly-half, even though he is the tackler rather than tacklee.

    Penalty New Zealand, 35m out and on a slight angle.

    The Australian line-out is spluttering. Stephen Moore fails to pick out Rob Simmons in the middle of the queue and the ball is back in Dan Carter's mitts.

    The Australians are starting to dominate the breakdown. They are there first, in numbers, and are harder to shift than week-old chewing gum.

    Scott Fardy is the latest to steal the ball from All Black hands, getting his talons on it as Julian Savea hits the deck.
