    We've got another stoppage.

    There's been a nasty clash between Josh Adams and Dan Biggar.

    The balls comes back to Biggar, he doesn't look like he wants it, so he tries a drop goal.

    It falls just short.

    The try was coming and Wales can have few complaints as they've been under real pressure for the past 15 minutes or so.

    Australia are so skillful and it's the Welsh players that look tired missing tackles.

    It was foolish from Gareth Thomas and was needless really.

    Let's hope for him and Wales it doesn't prove to be a game-changing moment because the momentum can swing so quickly.

    Nic White, con O'Connor

    Try of the match so far.

    It didn't take long for Australia to take advantage of Gareth Thomas' sin binning.

    Quick hands from the Wallabies backs moves the ball out wide, and Kurtley Beale slips a tackle from Willis Halaholo.

    He offloads to Nic White who is almost tackled short of the line, but he stretches over to score.

    Wyn Jones rejoins the field to make up the Wales scrum.

    It wasn't much of a rest.

    Gareth Thomas' face is shown on the big screen. He looks gutted.

    So it's 14 against 14 for the next 10 minutes.

    Discipline is going to play a major factor from now on.

    While the TMO continues to look at that incident, all the fans have put the torches on their phones on.

    It's like being at a Coldplay concert!

    Replacement prop Gareth Thomas is under the spotlight here for a clear out tackle which seems to catch the head of Allan Alaalatoa.

    The TMO is looking.

    Wales are being stretched defensively but they're organised and are doing well to soak up the Australian attack at the moment.

    Liam Williams has hurt himself tackling Filipo Daugunu.

    But he's made of tough stuff and a bit of ice seems to have done the trick.

    Nick Tompkins can't quite believe it. He, along with everybody else, thought it went forward initially.

    Australia are furious but you have to play to the whistle. They didn't react and it was a jog-in for Tompkins.

    That try being awarded has riled the Wallabies.

    They're attacking with aggression.

    Willis Halaholo knocks on from the restart and James O'Connor opts to kick to touch. Big moments here.

    Nick Tompkins, con Dan Biggar

    The Wales centre intercepts a pass and strolls in under the posts.

    Australia seemed to stop, as did most Wales players, but the ball did not go forwards.

    TMO takes a look as Australia protest, but the referee's on-field decision was correct.

    Tompkins won't score an easier try than that.

    Dan Biggar adds the extra two points.

    Louis Rees-Zammit could be about to add to Wales' injury woes.

    The young wing is limping badly.

    He could hardly run chasing Tomos Williams' box kick.
