80 mins: The final hooter goes, and New Zealand seal their record winning margin over Great Britain. The Lions will have to beat Australia next week if they want to reach the Tri-Nations final.

75 mins: Britain's players just want the match to come to an end. A nightmare for the Lions in Wellington.

70 mins: TRY New Zealand 34-4 Great Britain
Can the night get any worse for Great Britain? Yes, it seems as Ruben Wiki scores under the posts following a remarkable Stacey Jones kick.

The scrum-half genuinely seems to be aiming at the crossbar and he finds his target. The ball bounces off the bar and into Wiki's arms. Jones kicks the conversion.

67 mins: The defensive effort from New Zealand is nothing short of brilliant. Great Britain cannot get out of their 20m zone, and it is no surprise when John Wilkin coughs up the ball.

63 mins: A second Great Britain effort is ruled out. Leon Pryce looks to have cut through the Kiwi defence to score, but the video referee disallows the try for Paul Wellens' block on David Kidwell.

58 mins: Jamie Peacock attempts to lead from the front with a powerful run straight through the middle, but it will need more than that to drag Britain back into the match.

55 mins: TRY New Zealand 28-4 Great Britain
The Lions defence is verging on the shambolic out wide. Manu Vatuvei scores after a simple passing move bamboozles Great Britain. The way the Lions' performance has fallen off since last week's win over Australia is remarkable.

Stacey Jones kicks another conversion.

52 mins: Leon Pryce bursts through a gap and slips a ball out the back but his team-mates cannot take advantage. Two tackles later Sean Long puts in another dreadful kick which Frank Pritchard laps up before running 35m.

50 mins: TRY New Zealand 22-4 Great Britain
It looks like game over for the Lions as Nathan Cayless scores under the posts after a - you've guessed it - Stacey Jones chip over the top.

The outstanding Jones makes no mistake with the conversion.

47 mins: This could be a long night for Gareth Raynor if his team-mates don't start to put some pressure on Stacey Jones. The winger takes another high ball under pressure.

46 mins: Sean Long's first decent attacking kick of the match almost results in a try, but the bounce does not quite go Lee Gilmour's way.

44 mins: Gareth Raynor takes another bomb from Stacey Jones under great pressure. But the time being allowed to the Kiwi half-back is making life difficult for Great Britain.

42 mins: New Zealand's quick play-the-ball tactics are still hurting Great Britain, and it needs a brilliant take from full-back Paul Wellens to defuse a Stacey Jones bomb.

41 mins: Stacey Jones starts the second half for New Zealand.

40 mins: New Zealand force another set of six, but Great Britain at least hold firm until the end of the half. Not a good 40 minutes for Brian Noble's side at all.

37 mins: More heartbreak for Great Britain as the video referee rules out Gareth Raynor's effort out wide. He gets on the end of Paul Wellens' grubber kick to the corner, but is adjudged to have lost control in the act of grounding the ball.

35 mins: Sean Long follows up his horrible kick with a horrible knock-on. The St Helens star is not having a good game, although he is playing behind a pack on the back foot.

34 mins: An awful high kick from Sean Long goes out on the full. Britain are at sixes and sevens in Wellington.

32 mins: A big let-off for Great Britain as New Zealand's Frank Pritchard knocks-on in the act of scoring. The video referee rules out his effort, but it does not disguise Britain's defensive difficulties.

30 mins: A delicate Brent Webb kick into the in-goal area, and Leon Pryce's efforts at escaping come up agonisingly short to give the Kiwis a repeat set of six.

27 mins: James Roby is on Great Britain at dummy-half. The Lions need some inspiration from somewhere.

24 mins: TRY New Zealand 16-4 Great Britain
A Leon Pryce knock-on at the play-the-ball puts Britain under pressure, and New Zealand take full advantage as Brent Webb scores under the posts.

Yet again, Stacey Jones is the creator. The Little General is tearing Britain apart in a performance reminiscent of the display at Loftus Road last year. Great Britain need to get to grips with him if they are to get back in the match. Jones slots the conversion.

20 mins: TRY New Zealand 10-4 Great Britain
Gareth Ellis crosses for Great Britain, but the Lions are lucky to benefit from a bad mistake. A routine kick to the corner is spilled horribly by Kiwi winger Manu Vatuvei - under pressure from the returning Keith Senior - leaving Ellis with a stroll to the line.

Sean Long misses with his conversion attempt.

15 mins: TRY New Zealand 10-0 Great Britain
A superb try from Brent Webb extends New Zealand's lead as the Lions' defensive problems continue.

The full-back takes a short pass from Stacey Jones, who had earlier swapped passes by looping around Ruben Wiki, before outpacing the cover defence. Jones hits the post with the conversion.

11 mins: TRY New Zealand 6-0 Great Britain
Straight after the sin-binnings, a fired-up New Zealand side take the lead through Nigel Vagana's try.

The stand-off catches the Lions' defence out at the play-the-ball with both markers going the same way, allowing him to power through two tackles and get the ball down. Stacey Jones kicks the easy conversion.

10 mins: The first flashpoint of the match comes and ends in the sin-binning of Great Britain's Keith Senior and New Zealand's Steve Matai.

The incident is sparked by Matai chucking the ball at the back of Danny McGuire's head, and Senior does not like it at all.

8 mins: The Lions win a penalty in front of the posts for some interference at the play-the-ball but opt to run it instead to the displeasure of their coaching staff.

5 mins: Great Britain are off to a mixed start. A brilliant run from Jamie Peacock raises the spirits only to be spoiled by an awful Sean Long pass.

And it needs a tremendous man-and-ball tackle from Leon Pryce on Manu Vatuvei to break down a fluent Kiwi move. Stacey Jones follows it up with a floating kick to the opposite corner, but the ball eludes everyone and bounces out harmlessly.

2 mins: Some early warning signs for Great Britain with a half-break from Roy Asotasi and a dangerous run from Iosia Soliola only ended by loose handling. The Kiwis look to be making a statement of intent early on, with their willingness to keep the ball alive.

1 min: Sean Long kicks off for Great Britain.

0710: Now it's down to the serious business. After the Kiwi national anthem, Ruben Wiki leads his team-mates in a spirited Haka. Great Britain meet the challenge head on, although without the disrespect shown by Australia's Willie Mason earlier in the tournament.

0708: The entire Great Britain squad link arms to sing "God Save The Queen", with the microphone handed by someone who looks to have come back from an unsuccessful audition for the role of James Bond. The unbuttoned shirt sets off some impressive designer stubble.

0707: Ruben Wiki leads New Zealand out to a big reception.

0705: Great Britain come out of the dressing room first, greeted by some fireworks. The Lions will be hoping that is some kind of omen.

"We can expect Danny McGuire to be a lot less inhibited at stand-off than he was at Christchurch."
Dave Woods, BBC Five Live Sports Extra.

0655: There is a healthy British contingent among the crowd in Wellington, although the ground is far from a sell-out in the rugby union-dominated Wellington.

0645: Great Britain are going through their warm-up routines at the Westpac Stadium.

The players know even a draw will be enough to book their place in the final, while defending champions New Zealand need at least a 15-point win to keep their hopes alive.

TEAM NEWS:

Great Britain will start with Sean Long and Danny McGuire as their half-back pairing, with Leon Pryce reverting from stand-off to the wing in place of the injured Brian Carney.

Loose forward Sean O'Loughlin also misses out with a leg injury, and the Lions switch their pack around as they switch Gareth Ellis from second row to the number 13 jersey.

Adrian Morley starts at prop, with skipper Jamie Peacock moving to second row.

New Zealand have selected Dene Halatau at hooker in place of the ineligible Nathan Fien, whose selection for the last meeting between the sides in Christchurch caused so many problems.

And Nigel Vagana moves from centre back to stand-off.
