    New Zealand 36-10 Wales

    That was the younger Savea's first try for the All Blacks and it's now 26 unanswered points in the second half. There is something almost animalistic about this All Blacks team, they're just so damn ruthless. Tamanivalu jumps through a couple of tackles but it's an unintentional offside and Wales can breathe at last.

    "Ardie Savea is always capable of that. He offers such a threat and has a tremendous skill set. He did what he does so often for the Hurricanes. He's a gifted athlete and we saw that then."

    Biggar grubbers through and is taken off the ball. Wales had the penalty anyway and they kick to the corner. New Zealand nick it, Wales' line-out hasn't been in tune today... deary me, even when the All Blacks mess things up they make a virtue off it - Crotty with a terrible cross-kick, the ball somehow lands in Naholo's hands, the ball is slipped back inside to Savea, who puts in a wicked step and romps in under the posts. Barrett with the extras, New Zealand over the hill and far away.

    From the perfect piece of matchmaking that was the first half, we have a horrible mismatch in the second. At least so far. It's a Wales penalty for blocking, Naholo taking Williams out after a kick through.

    "A superbly executed back-line move by Kieran Read. We have 20 minutes to go and this is where you will see the Welsh boys tested. They need to stick together and get some points on the board themselves. If they drop their heads now it could be a very difficult 20 minutes."

    What a try that is - Read off the base of the scrum, basketball pass to Aaron Smith, who slips the ball to Naholo to skip over unopposed. Iffy conversion attempt from Barrett, the man is human after all.

    New Zealand all over Wales now, they've found that gear that other teams simply do not possess. Barrett with a cross-kick, Ben Smith hits it on the volley and it very nearly falls to Savea. I'm hearing Aaron Cruden has been taken to hospital for precautionary tests.

    An ominous prediction from a former England fly-half.

    Daniel Lewis: Line out has gone. Game over. No way back for Wales unless they get it right.

    Wales need to regroup fast or this could quickly turn into a 30-pointer. Roberts fumbles to hand New Zealand a scrum. Ardie Savea, a home favourite, enters the fray on the flank.

    AB scrum 5m out... shove on... Barrett dummies, steps, scores under the posts... that was some finish, Barrett delivering a masterclass.

    "Beauden Barrett has electrifying pace. Smith still had a lot of work to do and did very well to score that try. It's very important Wales get back down the other end and get some points. There are some very relieved All Blacks in this stadium."

    That's the difference, Barrett breaking a couple of tackles, hands off Roberts, perfectly timed pass to Ben Smith, who goes over for a try on his 50th cap. Barrett pops over the extras. Once again, the difference between northern and hemisphere sides thrown into sharp relief in the blink of an eye - Faletau butchers one try-scoring chance at one end, New Zealand conjure something from nothing at the other.

    Penalty to Wales, Naholo adjudged to have tackled the man in the air. Wales short line-out, but Alun Wyn Jones passes forward out of the tackle and it's a New Zealand scrum. Coles skipping down the left wing, like a boulder skimming across water, but that's fine work by Wales at the breakdown. Biggar clears but doesn't find touch... Dagg comes again but what a tackle that is by Gethin Jenkins... it's all going off out there... Warburton carries it clear, inside to Faletau on his shoulder, the number eight can't take, Barrett brings it clear and eventually the referee blows his whistle...

    Webb knocks on, we have a New Zealand scrum. Barrett with the cross-kick, Naholo and Williams go for it and we have a nasty mid-air collision. Both men down but I think they're OK.

    Tamanivalu is on for Fekitoa, by the way. Liam Williams causing problems down the right wing, but he chips through and Barrett is wise to it and takes the mark. Chaos out back, Ben Smith hacks through, Biggar kicks for territory, Barrett finds touch on the New Zealand 10m.

    Wales have quietened the crowd at the Westpac Stadium. Warren Gatland's side have shown all the endeavour and intensity that we saw last week at Eden Park - and they deserve to be level.

    There was little between the two sides in that first-half, but we all know what happened in Auckland. Wales must keep hammering away at the All Blacks.

    The word everyone uses to describe New Zealand is 'relentless'. Now it's Wales' turn; they must be relentless in this second half if they're to beat the All Blacks for the first time in 63 years.
