Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage from France's first Test of three against New Zealand at Eden Park.

NEW ZEALAND 23-13 FRANCE

The buzzer goes with France in possession in the New Zealand half but only about on the 10m line... but the ball goes dead pretty quickly and the All Blacks have the win.

New Zealand with an attacking line-out just 10m out from the French tryline ... Romano ... Retallick ... Read ... back to Romano ... but the ball is not release by Romano and France will have the penalty kick to clear their lines.

PENALTY ALL BLACKS! Cruden easily slots the penalty through the centre of the posts from right out in front. New Zealand are now 10 points ahead with just seven minutes left on the clock.

New Zealand attack again through Nonu on the right wing ... Cruden breaks through the line ... they are playing advantage ... New Zealand do get the penalty as Vahaamahina fails to release in the tackle

Ma'a Nonu looks to break after Conrad Smith gets a touch to the ball. But Nonu was in front of him, blocking the French and it'll be a French penalty to clear on their own 22m line

New Zealand do well to track back and touch down on their own try line, Ben Smith getting there first after a kick upfield by Lopez.

So close for France. Plante lines up Crockett and breaks through the line. He finds the inside pass but then the final pass to Picamoles is down round his knees. If that had been to hand, it would have been try time but instead Picamoles can only knock the ball on as he attempts to collect

PENALTY ALL BLACKS! Cruden puts the first points on the board for the All Blacks in this second half as he takes advantage of a penalty at the breakdown from the French right in front of the posts. Picamoles was the one to infringe at the breakdown.

Another scrum penalty to the All Blacks, it's in their own half though (just) and Cruden will kick upfield for territory.

Brilliantly defensive scrum from New Zealand as they earn themselves a penalty and a chance to clear their lines.

France with an attacking scrum just five metres out from the New Zealand try-line...

Lopez's kick from just over 46 metres out has the distance but it is just left of the uprights and New Zealand escape.

A penalty at the scrum from the All Blacks this time and Lopez will kick for points ...

Once again New Zealand infringe at the breakdown as Romano is penalised for holding on when Vahaamahina does well to get himself over the ball. France won't take the points this time though, they'll go for territory.

PENALTY FRANCE! The kick from right in front of the posts is a fairly easy one for replacement kicker Lopez. France chipping away at New Zealand's lead.

Doussain, on for Machenhaud, to Nyaga ... Doussain again ... Szarzewski ... Doussain ... penalty to France and they will kick for the points

Another wayward kick from Cruden as he pulls the ball to the right of the posts. It would possibly also have been slightly short as French fullback Huget collects without too much trouble.

Fritz looking to run the ball out from his own 22m line but the French concede a penalty when Fritz fails to roll away ...

Cruden gets the match back underway for the second half ...
