Australia beat the British and Irish Lions 16-15 to level the three-Test series in a titanic second Test in Melbourne on Saturday.
The Wallabies scored the clinching converted try four minutes from the end and survived a penalty kick after the full-time siren from Lions fullback Leigh Halfpenny.
Halfpenny slotted five penalties but missed one from the halfway mark with time expired that would have given the Lions victory.
The Lions dramatically beat Australia 23-21 in the first test in Brisbane last week but the Wallabies overcame a raft of injuries to their backline thanks to a late converted try from Adam Ashley-Cooper and three penalties from Christian Leali'ifano.
"There's still a test series up for grabs, by no means is it over," said Lions captain Sam Warburton.
He added: "It sets it up for a great finale."
The third test, which will be a series decider, will take place in Sydney next Saturday.
The Lions are the favourites to win and if they do, it will be their first Test series triumph since they toppled South Africa 16 years ago.
