Now it's Wasps' turn for a shot at goal, and Elliot Daly is the man they turn to for these long-rangers. It drifts wide though.

It's another good kick from Stephen Myler and Northampton have put breathing space between themselves and Wasps.

And ill-discipline is going to do Dai Young's side no favours whatsoever. Wasps concede a penalty for going in at the side at the breakdown and Stephen Myler will have another shot at goal. Meanwhile, England forward Courtney Lawes makes way for Jon Fisher.

Full credit to Wasps, they're still clinging in there. But it's hard work as they go through 10 phases without really ever breaking the line, still just inside their own half.

Now Elliot Daly dinks a little kick through but Northampton recover and counter.

Our vote has now closed. We'll bring you the results after full-time of the Northampton Saints v Wasps match.

And Wasps can hold out no longer, giving away a penalty right in front of the posts which Stephen Myler slots with ease. The gap is back to seven points.

Northampton are turning the screw now, really knocking on the door. Wasps do clear their lines temporarily, kicking the ball away from behind their own line, but it's wave after Saints wave...

After all of that, Saints have the first scrum of this second half and win a penalty from it. Stephen Myler kicks to touch.

The opening period of this second half has been rather more sedate than the first 40 minutes. A Wasps player is down injured at the moment, so there's a temporary break in play.

Our vote closes at 21:15 GMT, so time is running out to have your say!

On the pitch, meanwhile, Northampton have given away a penalty inside their own half and Alex Lozowski has reduced the arrears to four points once more.

Various reports, including on BBC Radio Northampton, are suggesting that Northampton Saints wing George North is awake in the dressing room. We're still waiting on an official line from the club.

If you're joining us late, he was stretchered off at the end of the first half following a collision with Wasps forward Nathan Hughes.

Hughes was sent off for dangerous play.

Here we go then. Stephen Myler kicks the ball long and Northampton Saints get us under way in this second half.

A quick reminder that, in amongst the absolute mayhem at Franklin's Gardens, we're also asking you how far England will progress in this year's World Cup.

On 34 minutes, Alex Lozowski's penalty put Wasps 20-8 in front.

Six minutes later, at half-time, Dai Young's side trail 27-20 and are down to 14 men following Nathan Hughes' red card.

Bonkers.

This is absolutely remarkable. What has happened to Wasps? The rolling maul is as formidable as ever and Alex Corbisiero is the man to touch down under a pile of bodies. Stephen Myler converts and, somehow, Northampton lead by seven at the break.

But Wasps fly-half Alex Lozowski, excellent so far, elects to kick the ball clear, allowing Northampton to return it with interest and win a penalty at the breakdown.

Stephen Myler heads for touch as Saints look to turn up the heat...
