Another Sharks interception!
This time it's Duhan van der Merwe who has his pass picked off by Anthony Volmink, and the Sharks break out of their 22 and into the Lions' half.
The Lions' covering defence forces the Sharks out of play and the home side will have a line-out just inside the tourists' half.

A messy couple of minutes lead to a scrum for the Lions, whose solid set-piece lays a platform for the backs to move into the Sharks' half.
Elliot Daly kicks towards the Sharks 22, where the covering Murray Koster boots the ball into touch.
A chance for the Lions to unleash their maul again.

No changes from either side during the break, by the way.
The Lions have the ball in their own half, securing possession from a line-out which has functioned well today.

Back to Loftus Versfeld in South Africa, and it's Sharks fly-half Lionel Cronje who gets the second half started.
If it's anything like the first half, we're in for a treat.
'I can't believe it' - Smith on his Lions call-uppublished at 17:57 British Summer Time 10 July 2021

Meanwhile, England fly-half Marcus Smith has been reacting to his Lions call-up.
Speaking to Channel 4 after England's 70-14 thrashing of Canada, Smith said: "I can't believe it.
"They called me into the tunnel 10 minutes ago and I don't believe it - I was shaking, I still can't believe it, it's amazing.
"It has been a brilliant couple of days and couldn't do it without my family and my team-mates at Quins.
"We were meant to go to the football [England v Italy in Sunday's Euro 2020 final] but I will be on the plane now. It won't sink in until I get back from the tour and I will have to pinch myself on the plane.
"The last four weeks have been brilliant and I will never forget them for sure. It will be special, a dream come true, it's the pinnacle for any young player."

HT: Sharks 26-26 Lions
Former Ireland and Lions fly-half Ronan O'Gara is not too impressed with aspects of the tourists' play in that half.
Speaking on Sky Sports, O'Gara says: "Test rugby is about doing the simple things well over and over again, and we're not seeing that at all today."
Former England flanker Maggie Alphonsi adds: "I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the dressing room because, from a Lions' point of view, they won't be happy with that performance."
Legendary ex-South Africa wing Bryan Habana agrees, saying: "The Lions do seem disjointed. There will be some stern words in that changing room."
Half-time - Sharks 26-26 Lionspublished at 17:43 British Summer Time 10 July 2021
What a brilliant half of rugby.
Eight tries, four for each side and constant, end-to-end action.
This is certainly the biggest test of the Lions' tour so far.

Tadhg Beirne
The try-fest continues, and now it's Tadhg Beirne's turn to get involved.
The Lions opt for a tighter playbook, with the forwards trucking the ball up.
Beirne spots a gap at the edge of a ruck and takes his opportunity, sneaking over the line for his second Lions try.
Dan Biggar converts and we're all square once more.

Anthony Volmink
The Sharks are back in front and full-back Anthony Volmink has his second try.
Lions wing Duhan van der Merwe spills a long pass and, once again, the Sharks pounce on the error.
Thaakir Abrahams picks the ball up, sets off down the right wing and passes inside to Volmink, who runs in under the posts.
Lionel Cronje converts.

Hamish Watson goes on one of his trademark yardage-after-contact conquests, wrestling his way out of a few Sharks tackles.
The Sharks are eventually able to clear but back come the Lions, who are forced into touch.
Rather than kick clear again, the Sharks look to run the ball out of defence.
This is terrific entertainment from both sides.

Lionel Cronje enjoys launching his kicks as high as he possibly can.
This time it's overcooked and the Lions have a line-out inside the Sharks' half.
It's a decent attacking position but Dan Biggar's pass hits referee Wayne Barnes, who looks a little sheepish. Scrum to the Lions.

The Lions are offside near their own 10-metre line, handing Sharks fly-half Lionel Cronje a shot at goal.
Distance is absolutely no problem but he pulls it wide to the left.

Great catch from Duhan van der Merwe, who claims a booming up-and-under from Sharks fly-half Lionel Cronje.
Wow, three minutes without a try. What's going on?

Duhan van der Merwe
As I was saying, you can't take your eyes off this game!
Dan Biggar makes a break in midfield and offloads well to Liam Williams.
He then passes to Duhan van der Merwe, who trots over out wide for a score which Biggar converts to bring the Lions back level.

Jaden Hendrikse
The Sharks lead again!
This try actually comes after what was probably the Lions' best spell of attacking possession.
But a floated pass from Gareth Davies is picked off by Jaden Hendrikse and he sprints clear from his own half to score a try which Lionel Cronje converts.
You can't take your eyes off this game.

Jamie George
The Lions' rolling maul brings them level with a try for the captain.
From a line-out five metres out, there's no stopping the Lions and Jamie George pops up in a position he knows well at the back of the maul to score.
Dan Biggar misses his conversion from the touchline.
