Final score - South Africa 26 Lions 21

3.49pm: Full-time, and despite that much-improved second-half display, it's not quite enough. The Lions will be looking forward to next Saturday now that they know they can compete with the world champions if they put their minds to it.

3.48pm: It's a penalty to South Africa, and that must surely mean a win for them now.

3.47pm: We're into the final minute of the game, and the Lions are still pushing for that try that would give them the game.

3.46pm: Penalty to the Lions, and Jones needs to kick for the corner, but it skews off his boot.

3.43pm: South Africa 26 Lions 21 Jones converts!

3.42pm: South Africa 26 Lions 19 ...and Phillips races in from nowhere! He punches the ball away when he'd be better served taking it back to Stephen Jones, ready for the conversion.

3.41pm: The Lions are working so, so hard now...

3.38pm: Ugo Monye collects on the left, and Steyn tackles him and knocks the ball out of his hands, right on the line.

3.37pm: Penalty to the Lions, and they decide to go quickly and run in, all of a sudden enthused and infused with energy.

3.35pm: South Africa 26 Lions 14 The conversion makes the scoreline look slightly more respectable.

3.33pm: South Africa 26 Lions 12 After a period of Lions pressure, Tom Croft gets his second try of the afternoon, after a great run from Roberts.
