    The maul is brought down, but it was legal.

    What can the forwards do as they chip away at the line?

    Strap in, folks. We're set for a grandstand finish.

    The Lions looked like they have made a bit of a mess of it, but play is brought back for a penalty as the ball was kicked out of Williams' hands.

    It's sent into the corner.

    Tomos Williams has added some real zip since he has come on. Impressive!

    The Lions scrum hasn't been as convincing since the original front row made way, and it's reset as both packs popped up before the ball could come back into play.

    It's another minute down on the clock. Time is running out.

    The Lions now win the scrum after another mess in the middle of the pitch, as the ball bobbled between a few hands and legs.

    The miscommunication at the line-out followed so quickly by that Tommy Freeman fumble really did feel as if it sucked the life out of this crowd.

    Unsurprisingly, Argentina aren't in a rush to get this scrum moving and they've managed to run a minute or so down on the clock.

    Van der Merwe to Hansen is a HUGE upgrade! Finally a winger who can do more than just weigh 115kg!!

    Tommy Freeman has barely put a foot wrong today and then he coughs the ball up at a crucial moment. But it came from another lost Lions line-out, which has been a real issue.

    Ronan Kelleher throws the line-out over everyone, and to add insult to injury Tommy Freeman drops an easy catch to give Argentina a scrum on halfway.

    Play is brought back for a penalty as Marcus Smith was tackled off the ball.

    Into the corner or take the points and go again?

    It's a big call, and Smith sticks it into the corner.

    We're into the final 10 minutes as Mack Hansen decides it's time to go as he races into the 22!

    He's brought down, but the Lions are looking to build.

    As is often the case, the numerous replacements have just threatened to break up the flow of the game.

    The Lions lose another line-out and Pumas take it back into Lions territory.

    As we near the final 10 minutes the visitors can sense they are on the verge of pulling off Argentine rugby history.

    There's chaos as Carreras' kick blasts off Itoje, and no one really has an idea what's happening as the ball bobbles about the pitch.

    There were a few hands in there, and referee Doleman awards the Lions a scrum at the end of it all.

    Justo Piccardo runs straight into a combined tackle of Maro Itoje and Tadhg Furlong, which is quite a meeting of minds.

    Time is running out for the Lions. Can they turn this one around?

    Let us know what you think.

    We're into the final 15 minutes.

    There's a shot of Duhan van der Merwe on the touchline, who has his ankle iced on the bench.

    That's one to keep an eye on. Let's hope it's nothing too serious.

    It's all a bit scrappy now as Ronan Kelleher has to watch a bouncing ball at a line-out, before Furlong offloads into a blue jersey while looking to break into the 22.

    Tommy Freeman chips forward but Albornoz claims the mark. He's played really, really well today.
