Owen Farrell will captain the British and Irish Lions in their final midweek tour match against a First Nations & Pasifika XV in Melbourne.

Farrell will make his first start of the tour, having made his first appearance off the bench against AUNZ Invitational in Adelaide.

None of the players who started the first Test win against Australia are named in the starting line-up, but it does include 10 late call-ups in total.

Ben Earl, Marcus Smith and Alex Mitchell, who were all included in the 27-19 victory over the Wallabies, are all on the bench, as is Garry Ringrose after overcoming concussion.

Farrell will play at inside centre alongside Ireland's Jamie Osborne, while Jamie George, who was drafted in from the England camp in Argentina, starts at hooker.

Elsewhere in the side, Blair Kinghorn has recovered from a knee injury to start alongside Duhan van der Merwe and Darcy Graham in the back three. Henry Pollock, who was left out of the first Test, also returns to the back row.

The First Nations & Pasifika XV will be captained by veteran Wallaby Kurtley Beale, who played all three Tests 12 years ago against the Lions.

The 95-cap back slipped when attempting to convert a match-winning penalty to win the first Test back in 2013.

He is one of six indigenous players, with the rest of the squad made up of men with Pacific Islands heritage.

British and Irish Lions XV: Blair Kinghorn, Darcy Graham, Jamie Osborne, Owen Farrell (captain), Duhan van der Merwe, Fin Smith, Ben White; Pierre Schoeman, Jamie George, Finlay Bealham, James Ryan, Scott Cummings, Jac Morgan, Josh van der Flier, Henry Pollock. Replacements: Ewan Ashman, Rory Sutherland, Thomas Clarkson, Gregor Brown, Ben Earl, Alex Mitchell, Marcus Smith, Garry Ringrose.
