British and Irish Lions draw Test series with New Zealand

The British and Irish Lions secured a momentous draw with New Zealand in the Test series as the epic final match was tied.

Owen Farrell successfully converted a long-range penalty three minutes from time. The visitors frantically defended the try-line until time was called, ending the Test 15-15.

Team Captains Sam Warbuton and Kieran Read lifted the trophy together at the end of what was an enthralling and tense bout.

The All Blacks had led 12-6 at half-time through tries from Ngani Laumape and Jordie Barrett, but had also missed two other clear try-scoring opportunities.

Three penalties from Farrell and a huge kick from Elliot Daly from beyond the halfway line tied it up at 12-12 with 20 minutes to go.

A penalty each for both sides in the dying minutes resulted in a shared victory.

The hosts looked set to dominate the series, comprehensively defeating the tourists 30-15 in the first Test.

The visiting team turned the tour on its head by then claiming victory in the second Test 24-21, setting up a historic final.
