I know we've talked a lot about how the winner of this one cannot lose the series, but a draw would be quite something and set up a winner-takes-all game in Baltimore next week.

That would be fun.

What did you make of that pretty breathless first half? Who will come out in top?

It's closer than a Cape Town flyover.

The second 40 minutes should be tasty.

New Zealand had the ball from their penalty but lost it.

Ethan Hooker hacks the ball forward but Will Jordan *just* does enough to get in front of the South Africa wing to deny a certain try.

We've 10 seconds left in the half and New Zealand have the put in on their own five metre line.

The try stands but the game will restart with a New Zealand penalty after Cobus Reinach threw Cam Roigard onto the turf.

It personally looked like Roigard was all over his opposite number and he shrugged him off, albeit onto his back, but New Zealand can make instant metres.

Hang on, we're going to the TMO...

There's a bit of a scuffle between the players. You have to share a flight to the USA next week, lads, so you have to get along.

Ruben Love is sent to the bin for the infringement.

The Boks will end the half with a man advantage, and they are going for the scrum.

Mannie Libbok is just short! That would have been one of the great tries!

They were motoring forwards and it's Ox Nche who breaks into the New Zealand half.

Libbok gets the ball and beats four players and is brought down inches, and I mean inches short.

South Africa win the penalty, but it could have been so much more.

Wallace Sititi looks to get his legs pumping and drive into the home half, but the defence is relentless and they forced the error and the turnover.

Here come the Boks. They are flying!

The wind is still playing a part as Love can only clear inside his own 22 with the penalty.

Will that play a factor in the second half when the Springboks will be playing into that breeze?

Just to add to Mike's point, Siya Kolisi is now down and receiving treatment as the body count continues to rise.

He's been so influential since coming back into the side, so Raddie Erasmus won't want to lose him.

Thankfully for the hosts, he's going to try and carry on.

It is absolutely breathless stuff.

At altitude, the standard is still sky-high.

The benches could be key given the toll this will be taking on the starters. With Ardie Savea and Cheslin Kolbe already off injured, replacements have already come into play.

The ball is chipped through by Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Jordie Barrett is caught by Ethan Hooker.

It's a good steal, but Will Jordan is back to get his hands on the ball to win the penalty for New Zealand on their own line.

Wallace Sititi's sister Amarande scored in the Black Ferns' big win over South Africa in the first game of this double-header.

Can he make as big an impact for the All Blacks?

Sad to see Ardie Savea leave the field. He’s been terrific all series and has cemented his status as one of the best back-row forwards to ever play the game.

It's now a huge blow for the All Blacks as Ardie Savea is forced off, and he looks in quite a bit of discomfort with his shoulder.

Wallace Sititi is on in his place.

Is Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu lucky the try was scored? It was his hand that played the ball on the floor before Savea scored. There may have been a case for a second yellow card. Either way, what a game. What a series.

South Africa are now surging forward and are into the 22 through Kolisi's big carry....but it's knocked on by Etzebeth at the ruck and New Zealand will have the put in.

A brief pause in the very entertaining chaos.
