The British and Irish Lions faced Australia in the second Test of their three-match series in Melbourne.
The tourists lead 1-0 after their 23-21 victory in Brisbane, and had the chance to clinch the series on Saturday.
The Lions haven't won a tour since 1997.
The series will now go down to the final match in Sydney, after the Wallabies picked up a crucial win.
Read how the action unfolded in our live commentary below.
Good morning and welcome to Sports Mole's live coverage from Melbourne for the second Test between the British and Irish Lions and Australia.
Today is Christmas Day if you're a rugby nut, and is one of the biggest days of recent Lions history. They have a chance to clinch their first tour since 1997, all they need to do is pick up one more win from their next two games.
The Lions took a 1-0 series lead last weekend with that tense 23-21 win in Brisbane. However, they did the same against the Wallabies in 2001, and the men in gold went on to win the series. That tells you all you need to know, the job isn't done yet.
A lot has happened since the triumph in Brisbane last weekend though, and one of the biggest talking points is Warren Gatland's team selection, as he makes five changes from the opener.
Paul O'Connell's tour is over after breaking his arm, and Geoff Parling, who was withdrawn from the match against the Melbourne Rebels on Tuesday, comes into the team.
Ben Youngs, Dan Lydiate, Mako Vunipola and Tommy Bowe also come into the starting lineup at the expense of Tom Croft, Alex Cuthbert, Alex Corbisiero and Mike Phillips.
So here is Warren Gatland's team in full...
LIONS XV: Leigh Halfpenny, Tommy Bowe, Brian O'Driscoll, Jonathan Davies, George North, Jonathan Sexton, Ben Youngs; Mako Vunipola, Tom Youngs, Adam Jones, Alun Wyn Jones, Geoff Parling, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton, Jamie Heaslip.
And here are the replacements for the Lions for the match.
LIONS BENCH: Richard Hibbard, Ryan Grant, Dan Cole, Tom Croft, Sean O'Brien, Conor Murray, Owen Farrell, Alex Cuthbert.
The Lions will face a huge physical test against the Aussies. Captain James Horwill, who was cleared after being cited for an alleged stamp on Alun-Wyn Jones, had the following to say.
HORWILL: "The mood in the camp this week has been desperate and keen. We're keen to get out there and get stuck in."
Horwill's name was met with boos by the Lions fans after being read out.
Less than 10 minutes until the kickoff!
Right, let's bring you the Aussie team.
The men in gold make two changes, with Kurtley Beale and Joe Tomane coming in at the expense of injured duo Berrick Barnes and Digby Ioane.
Adam Ashley-Cooper and Christian Lealiifano have both been passed fit for the match, while Jesse Mogg and Rob Horne earn a spot among the replacements.
AUSTRALIA XV: 15 Kurtley Beale, 14 Israel Folau, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Christian Lealiifano, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 James O'Connor, 9 Will Genia, 8 Wycliff Palu, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Ben Mowen, 5 James Horwill, 4 Kane Douglas, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Benn Robinson.
REPLACEMENTS: 16 Saia Fainga'a, 17 James Slipper, 18 Sekope Kepu, 19 Rob Simmons, 20 Liam Gill, 21 Nick Phipps, 22 Rob Horne, 23 Jesse Mogg
Out come the Lions on to the field to a huge roar from the crowd.

No mistake from Lealiifano, you wonder how the first Test would have finished had he not been taken off on a stretcher in the first minute. He scoops it from the right and brings Australia level.

This game is so finely poised at the moment.
What a ruckus. Two turnovers in the space of 10 seconds, and the play goes from the Aussies' tryline back to the halfway when Vunipola's horrible pass gives the ball away before committing a penalty by being offside. He hasn't had a good game.
The Lions lose another scrum, and will have a real job on their hand to get this back.
