  1. 'Good scramble'

    Scotland 17-6 Australia

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on Sportsound

    The scramble was good. It should have been a try for Australia.

  2. Scotland 17-6 Australia

    A massive let-off for Scotland. Dylan Richardson's first line-out is within a couple of metres of the scoring zone but within a few seconds Australia are knocking on the door at the other end.

    The visitors should really be making that count by a horrible, sliced kick from Tate McDermott lands in the grateful arms of Scotland captain Sione Tuipulotu.

  3. Test try number 30

    Scotland 17-6 Australia

    Duhan van der Merwe moves ahead of Darcy Graham.

    Will his Edinburgh team-mate get a chance to draw level in that contest?

  4. Scotland 17-6 Australia

    Dylan Richardson and Rory Sutherland enter the fray for Scotland.

    Rory Darge is getting treatment for cramp but he's not going anywhere for now.

  5. Scotland 17-6 Australia

    More Scottish fist-pumping as the scrum draws a penalty from the Aussies and Finn Russell thumps the ball away to safety.

  6. Scotland 17-6 Australia

    Scotland stand firm to repel that maul.

  7. Scotland 17-6 Australia

    Scott Cummings is penalised for a bit of over-eagerness at the breakdown. Australia kick to touch then get rumbling forward.

  8. 'More purpose and intensity'

    Scotland 17-6 Australia

    Colin Gregor
    Former Glasgow Warriors back on Sportsound

    The sense of injustice seems to have energised the crowd - it's certainly energised Scotland.

    That was the first time they've gone through the phases. Finn Russell was far more animated in that passage of play. There was more purpose and intensity in that attack than in the entire first half.

  9. Scotland 17-6 Australia

    Australia change all of their front row personnel in a bid to get back into this contest.

  10. 'Great side-to-side play'

    Scotland 17-6 Australia

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on Sportsound

    It's been coming, hasn't it? That's as efficient as Scotland have been on the ball.

    It's a great wee break, Scotland got in behind Australia who were struggling.

    It's great side-to-side play. We go through the hands and it's a great finish.

  11. try

    Try Scotland 17-6 Australia

    Duhan van der Merwe

    The Scotland winger starts the attack - and he finishes it!

    That's international try number 30 for Duhan van der Merwe as he breaks over the line on the outside after some swift, precise passing.

    Finn Russell curls in a fine conversion from near the touchline.

  12. Scotland 10-6 Australia

    Nothing to see here is the final verdict.

    More of those boos...

  13. 'He doesn't have to move'

    Scotland 10-6 Australia

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on Sportsound

    He doesn't have to move. It's whether he's shoulder charged him.

    Does he bring his elbow up? Possibly. If Tom Wright is penalised, it's unfortunate.

  14. Scotland 10-6 Australia

    The TMO is taking a look. The boos continue with every replay on the big screens.

  15. Scotland 10-6 Australia

    Boos ring round Murrayfield as Ben White is flattened by Tom White as he tries to race on to his own kick.

    It looks like the Australia full-back steps into the Scotland scrum-half.

  16. 'Another opportunity squandered'

    Scotland 10-6 Australia

    John Barclay
    Former Scotland captain on TNT Sports

    It's another opportunity that Scotland haven't capitalised on - and that's been the theme of today.

  17. Scotland 10-6 Australia

    Scotland string a few passes together at speed but it quickly fizzles out as Darcy Graham can't pick out Blair Kinghorn.

    Is the wind getting up or is that just a lack of concentration?

  18. 'Poor from Scotland'

    Scotland 10-6 Australia

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on Sportsound

    It's poor from Scotland. They win the kick off but Tizzano is tenacious.

    Kinghorn gets nudged away from his own players and Tizzano is on him so quickly.

  19. Penalty Scotland 10-6 Australia

    Noah Lolesio

    Well that advantage did not last long as Australia are gifted a penalty straight from the re-start. Easy for Noah Lolesio.

  20. Penalty Scotland 10-3 Australia

    Finn Russell

    Scotland are not turning down the three points this time and Finn Russell splits the posts.
