Lions vs Australia Live: Latest score and updates from first Test

The British & Irish Lions take on Australia in the much-anticipated first Test at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane this morning.

Andy Farrell's side are heavy favourites to draw first blood in Melbourne against an Australia side who are without a host of first choice players due to injury. The big selection news for the Lions is the omission of Wales star Jac Morgan - the form openside on the tour - with England's Tom Curry favoured in his place.

Irishman Hugo Keenan wears the number 15 jersey instead the injured Blair Kinghorn, with Tommy Freeman and James Lowe on the wings.

It's an all Scottish midfield pairing of Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones, while Jamison Gibson-Park and Finn Russell are the half-backs.

Ellis Genge, Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong form a powerful front-row with Joe McCarthy and captain Maro Itoje in the second-row.

Tadhg Beirne and Jack Conan join Curry in the backrow.

Kick-off is at 11am with the game only live on Sky Sports. You can follow it live with our updates below.
