It's time for a change in the front rows.
Lions bring on prop forwards Morgan Naude and Ruan Dreyer, while Cam Jones is on for Ospreys.
Penalty: Lions 21-14 Ospreys
Sanele Nohamba
Sanele Nohamba has rediscovered his kicking form and extends Lions' lead from the tee.
Post update
Lions 18-14 Ospreys
Ospreys are yet to take advantage of the extra man. It's been all Lions since Louw's yellow.
Sin-bin
Lions 18-14 Ospreys
Lions skipper Marius Louw will spend 10 minutes on the sideline for a late shoulder charge.
Replacement
Lions 18-14 Ospreys
An early change for Lions, fly-half Gianni Lombard is off and replaced by Morne van den Berg.
And we're back!
Lions 18-14 Ospreys
We are back at Ellis Park.
It will be Ospreys that get play back under way.
Both teams are already guaranteed a place in the last 16 of the Challenge Cup, but victory for Ospreys will boost their hopes of a home tie.
Can they turn it around?
Post update
HT: Lions 18-14 Ospreys
A reminder that Ospreys lost George North in that first half.
The Wales centre left the field clutching his shoulder.
The sight of him in the dugout with an ice pack will no doubt add to Warren Gatland's injury head aches ahead of the Six Nations.
Scores elsewhere
HT: Lions 18-14 Ospreys
Also in Ospreys' pool, Perpignan lead Newcastle Falcons 13-9 at half-time.
In the Champions Cup, holders La Rochelle are 16-0 ahead at Sale Sharks at the break.
Half-time
Lions 18-14 Ospreys
And that missed conversion brings the half to an end as the players head down the tunnel.
Try: Lions 18-14 Ospreys
Marius Louw
That's straight off the training park for the Lions.
Lineout ball, switch play and great footwork from Marius Louw to bag his second of the afternoon.
Sanele Nohamba hits the woodwork and it's another missed conversion.
Try: Lions 13-14 Ospreys
JC Pretorius
Lions do finally get their second try and it's nifty footwork by JC Pretorius to get over.
Sanele Nohamba misses the conversion from out wide, as Ospreys retain their slender lead.
Disallowed try
Lions 8-14 Ospreys
Hold fire!
It would appear Ruben Schoeman made a double movement there as he grounded the ball.
We go back for the penalty.
Try: Lions 13-14 Ospreys
Ruben Schoeman
That's patient play from the Lions forwards and they are over for their second try.
It's Ruben Schoeman who emerges from the pile of bodies.
Replacement
Lions 8-14 Ospreys
Ospreys are taking no risks, the try scorer George North is off the field and the medics waste no time getting an icepack on his shoulder.
Keiran Williams comes on in his place.
Disallowed try
Lions 8-14 Ospreys
As we thought, it's no try, it's a great cover tackle on the winger.
Try review
Lions 8-14 Ospreys
Have Lions hit back again?
What a break by Francke Horn to set Richard Kriel off down his wing.
He looks like he's been held up over the line, but we're going upstairs just to double check.
Converted try: Lions 8-14
George North, con Dan Edwards
There ain't much wrong with George North.
The ball comes out from the lineout and he carves his way through the midfield and is over for Ospreys' second try.
Post update
Lions 8-7 Ospreys
George North is down getting some attention here.
He looks in quite a bit of discomfort with that shoulder, but he's back on his feet and play continues.
Try: Lions 8-7 Ospreys
Marius Louw
Lions respond straight from the re-start.
It's a delightful kick over the top by Sanele Nohamba and the skipper is there to gather and run it in.
We're all left scratching our heads how the conversion was missed.
Converted try: Lions 3-7 Ospreys
Owen Watkin, con Dan Edwards
Lions were caught trying to play their way out of their 22 there.
Owen Watkin charges down a poor clearance kick and is over for the try.
Dan Edwards adds the easy extras in front of posts.
