Great defending from the visitors again as they win a penalty after Ben White was dragged back to his feet from the tackle, and he is pinged for not releasing.
A New Zealand kick ends with a Jordan knock-on but Scotland can’t capitalise as Kinghorn’s long looping pass ends up going forward on the wing, and we’ll come back for an All Blacks scrum.
De Groot has returned to the action for the visitors.

Russell finds touch from halfway and this is a huge opportunity for Scotland now.
It ends with a goal-line drop though, with some solid defending from the All Blacks as they pile in to hold up over their own line after some brilliant pick-and-go work from Brown.

Promising phases from Scotland here but it ends with a great turnover from the visitors, before we see the first yellow of the game!
It all comes from some superb footwork from Graham, who knocks the loose ball between the legs of Carter before the All Blacks winger takes him down with a deliberate trip.
Nic Berry doesn’t need long on the TMO for that one.

PENALTY! Barrett clips over for another three for the visitors.
A smart kick from Roigard forces Graham back into his own 22 before Clarke drags him into touch, before the All Blacks win the line-out, Scotland are penalised for offside, and the fly half finds the three points.
In the meantime, an early change for the visitors too as Williams comes on for De Groot at loosehead, while Finn Russell is receiving yet more strapping on his knee.

CLOSE! So close from the hosts.
They work it wide to Kinghorn and he dummies before lifting a pass behind him to the onrushing Graham, who is held about a metre from the line!
Some clever work from the visiting defence though as they hold him up over the line to win the goal-line drop-out.

Scrap that, the TMO catches a neck hold on Hutchinson from Taylor and the hosts have a penalty. It’s kicked nearly to halfway and there’s a reprieve for the hosts now, as well as a chance to launch an attack of their own.
And what a kick this is from Russell! He spirals a lovely effort over a retreating Jordan and into touch for the line-out!

Huge cheers around Murrayfield as Russell and Graham combine with a double tackle just a couple of metres away from their own line to force Tupaea into the knock-on!

13 or 14 phases of brilliant attacking from the All Blacks but the Scotland defence stays firm until they concede a penalty. Great rugby all around there, though the visitors have a penalty well within the 22.
It’s a tap-and-go but they can’t make anything of it before the hosts concede another penalty, this one for not moving away. Nic Berry speaks to Scotland captain Tuipulotu as a warning for his side. The next infringement will be a yellow!
New Zealand opt for a scrum on the five-metre line under the posts.

A sizeable break as Finn Russell gets his knee strapped up, while Sione Tuipulotu asks referee Berry to check a shoulder-charge on Darcy Graham.

Scotland happy to kick in the middle third of the pitch so far and they’ve had some promising chases too, with the All Blacks getting lucky on this one as Clarke drops it but he was engaged off the ball in the tackle by Ashman, so they get to kick for touch.
