    Adam Edwards: As an Englishman, I am enjoying having Tadhg Beirne on my side for a change. What a man mountain.

    Alex, Newark: Up until this morning, I've despised the phrase 'Test Match Animal'. However, Curry is proving today that they exist and he is one.

    Australia 5-24 Lions

    The Lions' biggest margin of victory over Australia is the 31-0 win at Lang Park in Brisbane in 1966.

    The 41-16 win in the series decider in 2013 in Sydney is the most points the Lions have scored against the Wallabies.

    A reminder that the Lions have won 17 out of 23 Test matches against Australia.

    Epic from Tadhg Beirne as he helps win another turnover via a choke tackle.

    Another ball is dropped by Australia. However, they win a penalty from the resulting scrum.

    A score now is a must as they go for the corner.

    Anon: I'm starting to question whether Tom Curry is actually human.

    Mike, Manchester: After all the Jac Morgan moaning, Curry turning in an absolute all-timer. Maybe Farrell knows what he's doing after all?

    Tadhg Furlong might be in trouble here. He goes to clear out Len Ikitau and makes contact with Ikitau's head.

    Ikitau was moving up so it is not a yellow.

    That sums it up.

    Tom Lynagh sees that nothing is on and sends up a kick that is easily collected by Hugo Keenan.

    You'd expect more creativity from a Joe Schmidt team.

    It is quiet in the stadium.

    The Australia fans have had nothing to cheer about, while you can sense the Lions fans know it really shouldn't be this easy in a Lions Test match.

    A penalty against Australia for obstruction. Guess who was in the mix to disrupt? Tom Curry!

    Mike H - Kent: That is terrific pass by Curry. Perhaps he can show Lowe how to do that.

    Gareth: The performance today by Tom Curry is Richie McCaw good!

    Tom Curry is on fire. He helps get the ball back from an Australian line-out and then gives the killer pass to Dan Sheehan, who finishes in the corner.

    Finn Russell nails the kick from out wide.

    HT: Australia 5-17 Lions

    The Lions couldn't have asked much more from that first half, one which they've dominated.

    They’ve cleaned up their work at the breakdown over the past month and the Wallabies have thrown everything at it.

    Beirne, Itoje, McCarthy, Conan and Curry have torn into ruck after ruck.

    Because they're getting good quick ball the attack has looked impressive as well with Russell in total control of the game.

    I've been impressed by Tom Lynagh, the occasion hasn't been too big for him but he's relying on scraps.

    However Tom Curry is lucky not to get a yellow card for tackling Lynagh in the air.

    The Lions have been dominant and aggressive but that needs to be controlled.

    Andy in Plymouth: Wait until the replacements arrive....this could get embarrassing for Australia. The gulf is obvious here.

    David Beckett: I'm torn between wanting this to be a close and compelling series by two evenly matched teams or one with an experienced and dominant Lions demolishing the Wallabies in every Test.

    Chris, Long Eaton: People complaining about one mistake in a half where we have absolutely bossed Australia? Imagine if they'd watched any sport in the 90s...

    It is absolutely remarkable this game is still just about alive on the scoreboard because the Lions are physically obliterating Australia, crossing the advantage line in pretty much every phase and wreaking havoc every time they have the ball.

    Jones had a try disallowed, McCarthy nearly scored from the cross kick, and Lowe knocked it on close to the line, so It was only a matter of time before the Lions scored their second.

    Apart from some breakdown spoiling and Jorgensen's try which came out of nowhere, Australia have offered very little.

    It's hard to single out individuals, but Genge, Sheehan and Curry up front have been superb for the Lions while Russell has been sublime.

    If the Lions keep their composure and don't force things in attack, they should win comfortably.
