Full-time - All Blacks 38 (Waisake Naholo 2, Brodie Retallick, Beauden Barrett, Jack Goodhue, Aaron Smith try; Beauden Barrett 4 conversions) Wallabies 13 (Jack Maddocks try; Reece Hodge penalty, Bernard Foley conversion & penalties)
80th minute - All Blacks 38 Wallabies 13
Koroibete has a chance to grab a late try for the Wallabies, but his centre-kick is gathered by Nick Phipps and his pass is snaffled by Scott Barrett.
The hooter sounds and that's the end of a very convincing second-half performance from the world champions - one that leaves their rivals with a lot to ponder before the return match at the Eden Park fortress next week.
76th minute - All Blacks 38 Wallabies 13
TRY to Naholo. The All Blacks are slinging the ball around and it eventually makes it's way out to Naholo on the left.
He weaves through about four tired Wallabies defenders to score his second in about three minutes. Barrett converts.
74th minute - All Blacks 31 Wallabies 13
TRY to Waisake Naholo.
Naholo dives on the ball over the line, after Goodhue intercepts the ball and Barrett finds open spaces with a cross-kick.
Peyper checks for off-side, and it's touch and go, but it's allowed to stand. Barrett misses the conversion.
Aussie skipper Hooper has left the field.
71st minute - All Blacks 26 Wallabies 13
All Blacks penalised for collapsing a defensive scrum and Foley kicks to touch five metres out.
But NZ holds up the maul and Read comes through the middle to steal the ball.
69th minute - All Blacks 26 Wallabies 13
Beale kicks deep into All Blacks territory and Harris' first lineout throw is deemed crooked, so the Aussies have a great attacking opportunity here.
Ardie Savea replaces Sam Cane.
66th minute - All Blacks 26 Wallabies 13
TRY to Jack Maddocks. The All Blacks charge onto attack, with McKenzie, Ben Smith and Barrett making good metres, but Hooper intercepts a pass and the Wallabies break back for the try.
Foley converts and that gives the home team a little sniff.
TJ Perenara is on for Aaron Smith, Nathan Harris for Codie Taylor at hooker.
64th minute - All Blacks 26 Wallabies 6
TRY to Brodie Retallick. The giant lock snaffles the ball from a breakdown back inside his own 22 and after several phases, he is on the end of a back-line for the try.
He had a man outside him and dummied the pass, before charging the remaining 30 metres. Barrett converts.
Folau is limping down the tunnel with a left ankle problem.
60th minute - All Blacks 19 Wallabies 6
Retallick steals another lineout from the Wallabies and Barrett kicks the All Blacks downfield. Ben Smith picks up the ball and hares off towards the line, but is called back for offside.
From the ensuing penalty and lineout, Whitelock steals the throw-in and the All Blacks are starting to dominate.
58th minute - All Blacks 19 Wallabies 6
Karl Tuinukuafe replaces Owen Franks at prop and Scott Barrett is on for Liam Squire, so he'll fill the blindside flank.
56th minute - All Blacks 19 Wallabies 6
The Wallabies charge towards the goal-line, but newcomer Jack Maddocks could not unload to find the open man in support and the move is stifled.
52nd minute - All Blacks 19 Wallabies 6
TRY to Beauden Barrett. The Aussies are attacking, by Dane Haylett-Petty drops the ball and Barret swoops.
He kicks the ball ahead and beats Will Genia for the touchdown, then converts.
Tim Perry is on for Joe Moody at prop.
51st minute - All Blacks 12 Wallabies 6
Particularly ugly patch of play from the All Blacks and it's eventually called back for a knock-on. There's some doubt over Naholo's strip of Koroibete in that last try, but it's too late to call it back now.
48th minute - All Blacks 12 Wallabies 6
The All Blacks are hot on attack, but Foley recovers a loose pass and hares off upfield. Koroibete carries it on, but he's tackled by Barrett and the Wallabies spill the ball forward.
There are some bodies littered back down field though.
47th minute - All Blacks 12 Wallabies 6
Looks like Ioane has a hamstring problem. McKenzie is at fullback and Smith moves to the wing.
46th minute - All Blacks 12 Wallabies 6
Wallabies try to mount an attack, but Goodhue is enjoying a great few minutes - he cuts Folau down and the move ends.
Damian McKenzie is on for Rieko Ioane, so there will be a reshuffle of the back-line.
44th minute - All Blacks 12 Wallabies 6
TRY to Jack Goodhue. Naholo steals the ball off counterpart Koroibete on the right touch-line and it's spun left to Ioane.
He makes good metres, drawing the last of the cover defence to give Goodhue an open run to the line. Barrett converts.
41st minute - All Blacks 5 Wallabies 6
Kepu is back on the park to start the second half.
Half-time - All Blacks 5 (Aaron Smith try) Wallabies 6 (Reece Hodge & Bernard Foley penalties)
The Wallabies have done a great job holding the All Blacks to just the one try over the opening 40 minutes. You'd have to say they're worth their lead, but the real question will be can they sustain that level of defence over the closing 40 minutes?
40th minute - All Blacks 5 Wallabies 6
TRY to Aaron Smith. Ben Smith breaks the tackle from Tui and finds Naholo tip-toing down the left side-line.
He offloads infield to Read and Smith is there to take the final pass. There is some question over the pass, but it stands.
Barrett is wide right with his conversion and Australia lead into the sheds at half-time.
37th minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 6
Ainsley is welcomed to the field with a big push from the All Blacks that crumbles the Wallabies fowards and wins a penalty. Barrett lines up a kick at goal from midfield, but pulls it wide left.
34th minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 6
Sekope Kepu is off for a head assessment and on comes Kiwi-born rookie Jermaine Ainsley, who was the late pre-match replacement for Taniela Tupou.
33rd minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 6
The All Blacks are stringing together phases - 18 of them - but the Wallabies defence is equal to the task, and eventually Polota-Nau snaffles the ball and ends the attack.
29th minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 6
The All Blacks mount a promising attack, with Read and Retallick linking, but Naholo is bundled into touch in the corner and the floated pass from Barrett is ruled forward.
Still, the Wallabies feed a scrum just five metres from their line.
26th minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 6
Aussies are penalised for collapsing their own scrum feed and the All Blacks are on attack. They have a free-kick for numbers in the lineout and then a penalty for collapsing a maul.
Barrett kicks for the attacking lineout, but the Wallabies steal the throw and clear.
24th minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 6
Barrett makes a handy dash up the middle of the field, but just can't link with Read.
21st minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 6
Lienert-Brown is penalised in midfield and you sense that discipline may become an issue for the All Blacks.
Michael Hooper has already been chirping in Peyper's ear, demanding more than just penalties.
20th minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 6
Wallabies are hot on attack and probably unlucky to have a clean break by Koroibeti called back for a knock-on that wasn't.
The All Blacks are just hanging on here. Liam Squire concedes a penalty right under the posts and Foley slots it to stretch the lead.
11th minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 3
Sam Cane charges out of the defensive line to put a big hit on Lukhan Tui, forcing a knock-on and an attacking scrum.
There are initial concerns about Cane, who has a history of concussion, but it's Ryan Crotty that comes out of this exchange the worse. He clashes heads with Jack Goodhue in a tackle - there's no way he can stay on.
Anton Lienert-Brown is already warming up.
Ninth minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 3
All Black skipper Kieran Read is penalised at the breakdown in midfield, about 40 metres out, and Australia strike first, through a Reece Hodge penalty.
Seventh minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 0
Wallabies are penalised for collapsing a midfield scrum, but they steal the All Blacks lineout and Kurtley Beale makes a long run to set up the attack.
Fifth minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 0
Brodie Retallick steals the attacking lineout from the Wallabies and Aaron Smith relieves pressure.
From the next lineout, Retallick again spoils possession and forces his rivals into a knock-on.
Fourth minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 0
Israel Folau gathers a long kick from Beauden Barrett and start to make ground up the left touch, but he's dumped by Waisake Naholo.
Ref Jaco Peyper plays on, but is brought back by his linesman Wayne Barnes to penalist for the dangerous tackle.
First minute - All Blacks 0 Wallabies 0
Bernard Foley kicks off for Australia and Marika Koroibete puts a big hit on Rieko Ioane early.
All Blacks win the first penalty, when hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau fails to release in the tackle.

Lock Sam Whitelock is leading the All Blacks out onto ANZ Stadium for his 100th test appearance.
The teams are now assembled for the Welcome to Country and national anthems. Finally, the Aussies have found a way to acknowledge their indigenous culture, just like the All Blacks haka.
I know you're all concerned about how the NZ anthem is performed overseason - this version is a good one.
It's the Kamate haka, so not the 'we really mean business' version yet.

Kia ora, good evening and welcome to our live updates of the All Blacks vs Wallabies encounter from ANZ Stadium, Sydney.
This is the opening game of the 2018 Rugby Championship and, perhaps more importantly, the first of three Bledisloe Cup clashes between the traditional trans-Tasman rivals.
New Zealand has held the trophy since 2003, but the Aussies gave it a good nudge last year, leading until the final moments of the second test in Dunedin and then taking out the 'dead' rubber in Brisbane.
They're way better prepared this year and have champion loose forward David Pocock back on deck, so they present a massive challenge tonight.
The All Blacks will welcome lock Sam Whitelock to the 100-test club, while the other main talking points are the inclusion of Jack Goodhue in the centres and the composition of the back three - Ben Smith at fullback, and Waisake Naholo and Rieko Ioane on the wings.
The Aussies have been rocked by the withdrawal of barnstorming prop Taniela Tupou with a hamstring injury.
More to come.
