    The Boks now have all the momentum.

    The Lions are caged in and struggling to get out of their own half.

    No pun intended...

    Crumbs in the air turned into gold for South Africa.

    Cheslin Kolbe, who has been quiet and lacked opportunities on this tour so far, has shown when given space why he is one of the most dangerous finishers in world rugby.

    Converted Try - South Africa 13-10 British and Irish Lionspublished at 56 mins

    Cheslin Kolbe (con Handre Pollard)

    Brilliant finish!

    It takes a while to be confirmed but the Boks take the lead.

    Jasper Wiese jumps for the ball but it appears to go back off his hand and up off his shoulder.

    The hosts claim the loose ball and they're off. It's fed wide to Cheslin Kolbe, who does all the rest.

    As they say, he could beat you in a phone box. Maybe even two of you.

    Handre Pollard adds the extras.

  4. Missed penalty - South Africa 6-10 British and Irish Lionspublished at 54 mins

    Handre Pollard

    Handre Pollard has been a reliable kicker so far in this series, but he misses a second penalty in quick succession.

    The Boks would have taken the lead if he had sunk both of them, but the Lions remain in front.

    Will veteran Morne Steyn be asked to warm up?

    It's just a penalty and Finn Russell remains on the field.

    Cheslin Kolbe does appear to slip, and that helps Russell's case.

    Now then.

    Finn Russell could be in trouble here.

    He appears to makes direct contact with the head of Cheslin Kolbe in the tackle.

    Did the Springbok winger slip? Is there any mitigation?

    It looks a bit hairy and could be a huge moment in this series.

    We wait...

    Is the tide turning?

    South Africa win the free-kick in the scrum, but Siya Kolisi opts for another one.

    Time to bind up again gents.

    Jack Conan juggles the ball before spilling it forward.

    The Boks celebrate as if they have scored a try.

    They were under the cosh in the first half, but they are only four points behind.

    On we go...

    Handre Pollard

    Handre Pollard has the chance to draw his side to within a single point...

    But his penalty clatters into the upright and the ball is gathered by the Lions under their own sticks.

    Chance missed.

    Now Eben Etzebeth is receiving treatment from the medics.

    That could be the biggest ice pack I've ever seen slumped on his shoulder.

    But then he is not exactly lacking in size!

    We're into the fourth minute of the second half but it feels like we have had 30 second of actual play.

    We've had an injury and a talking to for both captains.

    Get on with it!

    The players are back out...

    We're all set for the final 40 minutes of the series between South Africa and the British and Irish Lions.

    Which way will it go?

    The Lions have been the better team and deserving of their lead.

    The trend of the series are teams playing for only 40 minutes: Lions superb in the second half of the first Test and South Africa the same in the second.

    Huge 40 minutes ahead for both sides with everything on the line STILL!

    The Lions have to keep being bold. They’ve done so much well but also missed too many opportunities.

    Given Russell’s swagger at the moment, they had to give him the ball rather than trying to pick and drive to the line.

    Jasper Wiese is not penalised as he enters the ruck below the red shirt in his way.

    That is now half-time.

    Time for a breather!
