South Africa and England draw 14-14 in the third and final Test of the series between the two sides.

South Africa and England have drawn 14-14 in the third and final Test of the series, after wins for the Springboks in the first two games.

England took an early lead through a Toby Flood penalty after just two minutes, making it 3-0.

Morne Steyn drew South Africa level after seven minutes with his first penalty of the afternoon.

England took an 8-3 lead through Danny Care's try, though Flood missed the conversion soon after.

After 13 minutes, Owen Farrell replaced Flood, who appeared to be carrying an injury.

Steyn hit his second penalty to bring the score to 6-8 as the Springboks started to find their footing in the game.

South Africa took the lead for the first time after 28 minutes, following Steyn's third penalty of the game.

The whistle blew on a closely contested first half, in which England started brightly before South Africa finished on top.

Five minutes after the restart, Farrell put England back into the lead with a penalty to bring the score to 9-11.

South Africa were awarded a penalty three minutes later, but Steyne could not make it count.

The Springboks did take the lead, though, on 62 minutes after JP Pietersen scored the side's first try of the game.

England drew level once more on 72 minutes through Farrell's second penalty on the game.

The final whistle went with the sides level at 14-14, a vast improvement for England after defeats in the first two games of the series.
