    Superb chop tackle from Garry Ringrose helps Tommy Freeman win a penalty.

    Let's not pretend this is anywhere near a full strength Brumbies team.

    There have been a few trends in the last couple of games. One has seen the Brumbies attack the breakdown, just like the Waratahs did with success last Saturday.

    The Lions have plenty of talent and flexibility in the back row but have they worked out the best combination yet?

    Tom Curry penalised for going off his feet.

    Blair Kinghorn is unable to continue. The likely Test 15 looks gutted as he puts his Lions coat on.

    Marcus Smith is on.

    For all the money in the world, James Lowe scores that try. He tried to use his power by bouncing off Andy Muirhead, who appears to stop the grounding with his legs.

    A poor finish from someone who is usually lethal.

    Dan Sheehan fends off fly-half Declan Meredith and races off down the wing before finding Tommy Freeman with a one-handed offload.

    The Lions then win a penalty.

    The temperature may have dropped but there's very little wind or even breeze here in Canberra. Bar a bit of dew it's not far off a perfect night for rugby.

    Having scored just three tries from 16 entries against the Waratahs, the Lions will be looking to make the most of these conditions.

    Excellent exit from the Lions. James Lowe showing why his massive left boot is so important.

    The Lions are getting into their groove but give away another penalty as Ellis Genge goes off his feet.

    Excellent Lions try. A huge scrum and big carry from Aki setting the platform. The Lions' basics have been a bit fitful on the tour so far - that was much better.

    Finn Russell draws in the final defender and puts Ollie Chessum over in the corner.

    It all came from a huge Bundee Aki carry. Russell's conversion just misses.

    Really poor from the Brumbies as they try and go from their own 22. Scrum for the Lions after that silly offload went down.

    Again the Lions are loose in possession, with a couple of early mistakes. But good intensity from the Brumbies. Blair Kinghorn's injury is a big concern.

    Interesting that the Lions seem to be going back to basics. A sign of plenty of kicking in the Test series?

    Blair Kinghorn does not look 100% but is cracking on for now. Finn Russell sends up a high ball which is dealt with.

    Bundee Aki gets on the outside but then throws the ball away. Cohesion can't be an excuse - he was trying to find his Ireland team-mate James Lowe.

    Dreadful start again by the Lions. Maro Itoje said they wanted to start big. They've started awfully again.

    Theme of the tour so far is that the intensity isn't there right from the off. It's a Lions tour…come on lads!

    First look at the Lions scrum, which was impressive on Saturday, they win a free-kick and off goes Jamison Gibson-Park.
