Aki, Chessum, Porter start for Lions as Farrell, Morgan, Kinghorn added to bench

Bundee Aki, Ollie Chessum and Andrew Porter have come in to start for the British and Irish Lions in their second Test against Australia, replacing Sione Tuipulotu, Joe McCarthy and Eliis Genge.

Loosehead prop Genge is named on the replacements bench but lock McCarthy (foot injury) and centre Tuipulotu drop out of the squad entirely.

There are further changes among the bench as Welsh back-row Jac Morgan, lock James Ryan, fly-half/centre Owen Farrell and full-back Blair Kinghorn are added to the squad.

Elsewhere in the starting team, the back-three remains unchanged as full-back Hugo Keenan starts alongside wings Tommy Freeman and James Lowe.

In midfield, Huw Jones starts alongside Aki as head coach Farrell resists the temptation to go with the Irish partnership, leaving Garry Ringrose out.

In the forwards, an all-Irish front-row sees Porter start with Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong, while Maro Itoje again captains from lock, partnering Chessum.

Tadhg Beirne, Tom Curry and Jack Conan combine to form an unchanged back-row.

On the bench, hooker Ronan Kelleher, tighthead Will Stuart and scrum-half Alex Mitchell maintain their places, completing the squad alongside Genge, Ryan, Morgan, Farrell and Kinghorn.
