The Lions have drawn with the Hurricanes in Wellington

The British and Irish Lions have drawn 31-31 with the Hurricanes in Wellington, writes Simon Lewis.

Key moment: In an almost exact carbon copy of their loss to the Highlanders in Dunedin a fortnight ago, the Lions blew a 31-17 lead with 15 minutes to go after Iain Henderson was sin-binned for a dangerous tackle in the 65th minute. In Dunedin they had squandered a 22-13 lead in the last 20 and lost in the dying minutes. Here they conceded two converted tries in Henderson's absence and allowed the Hurricanes to force the draw, Dan Biggar forced into a late drop-goal attempt from too far out in a desperate attempt to win the game for the tourists.
