    New Zealand 3-3 British and Irish Lions

    Naughty, really naughty.

    Sonny Bill Williams is in trouble here.

    The New Zealand centre has caught Anthony Watson, flush on the chin.

    No attempt to use the arms. It looks deliberate, cynical and violent.

    A monster of a kick from Owen Farrell makes it over the sticks with it's last ounce of energy.

    Level.

    The All Blacks have strayed offside at the breakdown, giving Aaron Smith a screen to boot from behind.

    Jerome Garces is not having that.

    Penalty Lions from way out. But Owen Farrell is going to take a shot through the wind and rain.

    Maro Itoje doing what he does best there - spoiling opposition ball and forcing a turnover.

    It prompts the swathes of Lions supporters to chant "OOOH MARO ITOJE..."

    Party atmosphere in here despite the filthy weather.

    Now it is time for the All Blacks to gloat.

    Mako Vunipola comes under serious pressure from Owen Franks and Jerome Garces penalty arm pops up the All Blacks way.

    Beauden Barrett lines it up and draws it in to put the first points on the board.

    This is bubbling now.

    Maro Itoje gets his tentacle over the top of the All Black maul, pinning the ball in and forcing the turnover.

    Alun Wyn Jones loved that, getting in Sam Whitelock's face with his eyes out on stalks. The ref talks the two seconds down off the ledge.

    Scrum down Lions.

    Plenty of mistakes from both teams in the opening exchanges. But considering the nerves, emotions and weather, that's hardly surprising. A physical start from the Lions is a marked improvement from the first Test.

    Tadgh Furlong is carrying well with Mako Vunipola and Alun Wyn Jones looking big in defence. All good signs for the Lions so far!

    Sam Kane is harder to shift that grass stains.

    The All Black flanker limpets over the top of Anthony Watson and forces the penalty for not releasing.

    The All Blacks kick up for touch and make their first visit into the Lions 22m.

    The Lions look a lot more physical up front.

    The All Black ball is coming back a lot more slower, buying the defence time to organise.

    Kieran Read, who was faultless last week, knocks on to gift the scrum to the Lions in midfield.

    Good start by the Lions forwards, but already the warning signs are there in response from the All Blacks, with Naholo and then Retallick carrying hard, leading to lightning-fast ball for Aaron Smith.

    But a reprieve as Barrett misses an easy shot.

    Dr Malcom Harvey: Given the rain, what's the over-under on the amount of scrums? Forwards are going to be busy today.

    Peter Atkins: Come on the Lions

    Beauden Barrett's kick clonks off the left-hand upright and drops wide.

    He landed everything last week.

    That was page one of the All Black playbook as soon as the Lions' line-up was announced.

    Jerome Kaino comes thundering down the 10-12 channel and tramples Owen Farrell underhoof.

    The Lions are on the retreat and give away the penalty.

    Beauden Barrett is going to take it on. Pretty much straight in front, but a good 45m out...

    Beauden Barrett dusts off the crossfield kick - attempting to isolate Waisake Naholo against the much smaller Elliot Daly.

    Daly does just enough to wrap up the express train wing.

  15. Player watch - Sam Warburtonpublished at 08:47 British Summer Time 1 July 2017

    New Zealand 0-0 British and Irish Lions

    Ross Harries
    Scrum V presenter at Westpac stadium, Wellington

    Sam Warburton is the man for the big occasion, and they don’t come much bigger than this. Marketed here in New Zealand as “rugby’s greatest series”, All Blacks captain Kieran Read said this week it was comparable to a World Cup Final.

    New Zealand’s speed of ball, and ability to recycle at pace seriously affected the Lions last week. Their blitz defence wasn’t able to function, as they were forced to continually scramble. Warburton is one of the world’s best “jackals”. He’s difficult to move off the ball, and his selection points to change of tactic at the breakdown.

    The Lions will look to slow down New Zealand’s possession here, to force turnovers, and to win penalties. But he can’t operate as a lone wolf. The Lions will have to hunt as a pack, with Itoje, Faletau and O’Brien all lending their weight.

    Last week the Lions couldn't win the physical battle, but already Maro Itoje, Tadgh Furlong and Mako Vunipola have made dents with the ball in hand.

    Positive signs in these soaking wet conditions.

    Oh, delicious from Jonathan Davies, slipping the off-load out the side door.

    The Lions are recycling quickly, whipping through the phases, but failing to make much of a dent on the All Black defence.

    That is better as Mako Vunipola, ploughs into contact and keeps the thighs pumping.

    Has Liam Williams got free on the outside? Nope, slightly forward pass. But the Lions have started very well.

    Just like last week...

    Liam Williams puts up a snowy up and under into the swirling Wellington stratosphere.

    Israel Dagg loses it in flight and spills forward to hand the tourists a scrum, 40 metres out.

    The Lions building up a head of steam as Tadhg Furlong - built like a barrel with the strength of Donkey Kong - barges into Jerome Kaino and sends the flanker backwards.

    But the move dies as Maro Itoje - whose name was being chanted to the tune of Seven Nation Army by the travelling fans - spills a simple pass.

    His team-mates are quickly around the young man, urging him to keep his chin up.

    Scrum to the All Blacks inside their own 22m.
