13min

GB penalty late in the set, PNG laying about in the ruck. They tap and go rather than kicking for goal which was well in range.

11min

The British offloading is killing the PNG side and allowing the visitors plenty of metres in attack - but the Lions simply can't convert. They go left to "winger" Blake Austin who's easily pushed into touch.

9min

GB now on the attack but no result. Hodgson trapped with it on the last off a failed short-side play.

PNG dominating early proceedings, with plenty of ball inside GB territory. They are yet to convert that into points and the Lions now work it out from their own 10m off the back of a scrum.

2min

Back underway with Graham escorted from the field. PNG surge upfield.

1min

Time off. James Graham bounces awkwardly off the first tackle in defence and is down, being assessed by trainers. He'll go off for a HIA and it seems unlikely he'll return.

Countdown from the deafening crowd, and underway!

Kits: PNG are in yellow with a red vee. GB wearing their white jersey with blue and red chevrons.

Anthems on now at a near-capacity National Football Stadium in Port Moresby. Both nations looking for their first and only win of 2019 as the international season wraps up.
