Relive 1 NEWS NOW's live updates of this morning's Test between the All Blacks and Wales from Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
FT: WAL 18-33 NZL
Wales throw everything they have as the final hooter goes but the ball finally goes loose and that ends a thrilling Test in Cardiff.
Hats off to the All Blacks defence. They are well behind on all the key stats but the defence stepped up when it counted and they took their chances when it mattered. Ioane has been named player of the match and rightly so. Considering there was talks of him not playing the match due to getting the mumps earlier this week, he has come back superbly and played a brilliant match.
That'll do it from us for this morning. Stay tuned for all the after match action from the press conferences.
78min: WAL 18-33 NZL
Wales looking for any chance to score but after 17 phases of attack they can't find one! It's another turnover and it results in a lineout. Whitelock re-enters the game for the final two minutes. ABs lineout on the Welsh 10m coming up.
75min: WAL 18-33 NZL
NZL TRY! Ioane's in and that should do it! Brilliant set piece off the scrum sees Ioane put in a hole in midfield and he's too fast to stop that close. He pins his ears back on the Welsh 22m and streaks for the towards the right corner to score. Barrett steps up for the extra two and slots it. Five to go.
73min: WAL 18-26 NZL
What a moment from the All Blacks! It's a Welsh scrum just outside their 22m but the All Blacks earn a free kick penalty! They're just trying to chew the clock down so despite the seven man scrum, they'll opt for one of their own.
71min: WAL 18-26 NZL
WAL TRY! Wales finally converts! The scrum is stable and they attack on the blindside to the left wing. They've got the numbers and it's an easy try. Halfpenny converts the extras and we're in for another big finish!
68min: WAL 11-26 NZL
NZL YELLOW! Whitelock goes to the bin! Scrum gets away fine this time but Whitelock is penalised in the ensuing ruck for killing the ball. It's too many penalties in this area of the field so Barnes gives him a yellow. Fair enough. And you can bet the Welsh are taking ANOTHER scrum!
67min: WAL 11-26 NZL
Ref has a chat with Whitelock as the All Blacks scrum is penalised again. The Welsh know the pressure is on the visitors and they go for another scrum.

NZL TRY! That could be the final nail in the coffin and it's off an intercept try from Rieko Ioane!

NZL TRY! Ioane sets up another! All Blacks set up in the middle of the field through eight phases of play before flinging it to the right. SWB and ALB link up before they get it to Ioane on the wing. He draws three defenders and manages to still get the ball away with a fortuitous bouncing offload going to ALB. He scoops it up and runs in around the back of the posts. Barrett takes the easy two.
55min: WAL 11-12 NZL
Another section of free-flowing rugby starring some great runs by McKenzie and SBW. Barrett spies a hole behind the rushing Welsh defence and grubbers one through into their 22m.

HT: WAL 11-12 NZL

From there it's about keeping settled and finding support which he does and Wales streak away to score in the left corner. A great team try. Halfpenny can't convert so the All Blacks will hold the lead at halftime. A brilliant match so far between the sides and a scoreboard to reflect it. We'll be back in 15min for the second half of this thriller.
37min: WAL 6-12 NZL
NZL TRY! All Blacks giving Wales a taste of their own medicine as they relentlessly attack the line again and again looking for holes. It's another penalty and the All Blacks go quickly. They rumble close under the posts but it's just short. They fling it wide to the left. There's numbers, it gets to Naholo and he barges in to score again! Top job from the All Blacks to convert yet again on the minimal ball they've had. Barrett can't convert from the side line this time.
34min: WAL 6-7 NZL
NZL get their first settled chance to attack as they settle down with a ruck on the Wales 10m. Smith spies a hole and grubbers one through. Naholo gets it and busts through a tackle before he finds support. The tackle is made but the All Blacks look to attack! They go wide. Wales are offside and they get the penalty! It's an easy three but the All Blacks choose the lineout so they'll get a big chance here 5m out.
31min: WAL 6-7 NZL
WAL THREE! Wales get a soft penalty after the All Blacks are done for obstruction. They make a beautiful break off the scrum through McKenzie and Naholo but Naholo's pass back inside doesn't find the target and Wales launch a counter attack. They kick it over the top and Hames turns around to chase it. He's hit from behind by a Welsh chaser and the Welshman cries obstruction. Wayne Barnes agrees. Halfpenny gets it right this time.

Back underway and Wales are immediately on the attack again! They find a linebreak with Evans in midfield and rumble into the All Blacks' 22m.

The pass pops up and Sam Cane with a big tackle forces the knock on under the posts! All Blacks defence does it again! NZ scrum on their 5m coming up.
18min: WAL 3-7 NZL
Stoppage in play and it's not pretty. All Blacks are screaming at the ref to stop play as there's a Welsh player in serious discomfort in midfield. Looks like a dislocated shoulder.
