British and Irish Lions vs South Africa LIVE: First test result and reaction in Cape Town

Changes for both sides - Lood De Jager and Rynhardt Elstadt introuduced for South Africa, Conor Murray brought on at scrum-half by

De Jager first involvement is to munch a Lion in the tackle, perfectly legally as he chases the kick-off.

That isn’t legal, though! Hamish Watson might be in trouble for a tip tackle on Willie Le Roux...

Perfect from Dan Biggar. This is about as tough as they come, chalk on his boots as he enters his run-up from beyond the touchline but the ball is flighted beautifully, a hint of right-to-left fade to take it between the posts. The Lions are into the lead for the first time.

Cheslin Kolbe is sick of being dominated aerially and inflicts some punishment of his own, getting high above Ali Price, but unfortunate to come down in touch with a sly hand around his thigh from Price helping him across while still in the air.

The Lions maul at the lineout and win another penalty wide on the left.

Duhan van der Merwe is away but again this won’t count! It’s another tight knock-on call!

Crikey this is a close one, van der Merwe and Robbie Henshaw each going up in the air above Cheslin Kolbe and combining to claim beyond him. The wing spins away but is hastily called back, saving another decision for the TMO as he is high tackled inches from the line, with Nic Berry having spotted the ball spilling forwards from Henshaw’s hands into those of van der Merwe while the pair came down to floor.

It’s the right call, but only just. A knock-on.

Almost inevitably, the turf churns up like arable field beneath the plough, so we are forced to shift over five yards and try again.

This one is stable and the Lions will play away from the back of the scrum.

It feels like the game may be turning. The Lions are getting their kick chase spot on, and Ali Price is weighting his box kicks nicely. Duhan van der Merwe gets up in the air to trouble Willie Le Roux, and is swiftly on to Kwagga Smith trying to sweep up behind him, forcing Smith into a knock-on. With two-thirds of their front row freshly amongst things the Lions will feed the scrum.

And just like that the Lions are back to within one! The game is as close as it has been since kick-off as Dan Biggar again confidently sends the ball through the posts.

Changes for the Lions - Mako Vunipola, Ken Owens and Hamish Watson are introduced. Rory Sutherland, Luke Cowan-Dickie and Tom Curry the men to come off.

A bit of confidence to the Lions now after that penalty. Courtney Lawes strides like a steeplechaser, hopping over the hurdles and striding through the puddle of South African arms to make a break to inside the South Africa half.

The Lions keep the ball alive well and Lawes is employed more traditionally to thump against the door, which fails to swing ajar. More forward carriers find little change out of the tight defence and Duhan van der Merwe is effectively dealt with, too, but the referee’s whistle will halt things - and it’s a fifth penalty in succession against South Africa...

Over it goes. The Lions move back to within four points.

Kwagga Smith has had an impressive game so far, busy around the park and particularly in the contact area. This time he gets his timing wrong, though, just as Elliot Daly did in the first half - ripping the ball from Alun Wyn Jones after Nic Berry had called tackle. Penalty to the Lions, and this one is being directed towards the posts.
