75 mins: The Hurricanes are going to win this here aren't they? They're camped inside the Lions' 22 at the moment...

76 mins: The Hurricanes are literally on the try line... and they knock it forward! Somehow the Lions have held out! And Henderson is back on. Great defence in the end by the Lions, but they still have a five-metre scrum to defend.

76 mins: It's actually a penalty to the Lions, not a scrum, after the TMO noticed some foul play. Biggar gets some territory and surely the Lions must work a drop-goal opportunity...

81 mins: Hang on, Biggar has turned it over here brilliantly! And the Lions are on the front foot. Biggar has dropped into the pocket! He's about 40 metres out and he goes for the drop goal... but the distance isn't there as he is charged at by four Hurricanes and the ball dribbles dead! FULL TIME: Hurricanes 31 Lions 31.

What a finish to that game! Did Henderson, who had such a good game up until his mindless spear tackle, cost the Lions here? It is more about performances for Warren Gatland tonight and who put their hands up for the Test shirt on Saturday.
