54 mins: And this time Barrett does get it! They are six points clear now!
57 mins: The Lions have conceded another penalty for offside and that is their fifth of the half. Barrett has another chance and he could make the gap nine points here, which could be too much for the Lions....
And he gets it! 18-9!
74 mins: Knock on by the All Blacks on the halfway line and the Lions are going back for the scrum.
All eyes look towards Auckland now! The Lions have ended The All Blacks' home winning record! What a performance in that last 20 minutes.
