There's the perfect start for the Lions when Alex Corbisiero goes over the line within 90 seconds. Will Genia missed the catch from the kick off and knocked on giving the Lions a scrum on the 22. Following the scrum Mike Phillips takes a quick free kick. Tommy Bowe drives down the right. The ball's shuttled inside. Alun Wyn Jones nearly goes over but is stymied by the left-hand post. No matter, another phase, and Corbisiero goes over! Photograph: David Davies/PA

Corbisiero is rather pleased. The conversion's slotted away by Leigh Halfpenny, who also slots a penalty home a few minutes later to make it Australia 0-10 Lions Photograph: Cameron Spencer/Getty Images

On the stroke of half-time some quick footwork from James O'Connor bamboozles the Lions defence and he surges over the line. Leali'ifano adds the extra points to make it Australia 10-19 Lions and set up a humdinger of a second half Photograph: Cameron Spencer/Getty Images

Just before the hour mark Halfpenny makes a bit of space down the left. He's being dragged to the floor by Smith, but manages to offload to Jonathan Sexton, who bombs over the line and curves inside, touching down with glee behind the posts Photograph: Cameron Spencer/Getty Images

Just seven minutes later a Lions victory is assured when George North goes over for the Lion's third try of the match. Halfpenny, gathers a long up and under on the left, then suddenly turns on the jets. He goes inside and out, then flicks one out to North, who zips away from Genia and Kurtley Beale and makes it over the line. Halfpenny misses the conversion from tight on the touchline.

It's all wrapped up with eleven minutes to go Murray cuts inside from the left and flicks one to Roberts, rushing from deep, who bombs over the line, knowing full well he's made it from 20 metres out. Halfpenny makes the scoreline look comprehensive. Australia 16-41 Lions Photograph: David Davies/PA
