We're into the final five minutes. Saracens lead by 12 points. Bath need a miracle.

So far, it's been a masterclass from Saracens on how to see a game out. Often allowing Bath the ball, but keeping them at arm's length throughout.

Now a turnover allows Charlie Hodgson to poke a grubber through and turn the Blue, Black and Whites defence. A terrific offload from Chris Ashton keeps it alive too, but Duncan Taylor just about knocks on with the line, and the Premiership title, within touching distance.

"The clock is becoming an enemy for Bath."

That's uncharacteristically sloppy from George Ford who, after Bath win a penalty, fails to find touch with his kick. For Saracens, Charlie Hodgson has come on, with Owen Farrell moving to centre.

The handling errors continue to mount for the Blue, Black and Whites, as this time Matt Garvey spills an awkward-looking pass.

Saracens win a penalty at the scrum and, since that Owen Farrell kick made it 28-16, they've looked pretty comfortable.

Bath have had 81% possession since the break but still have a fair mountain to climb.

But now it's Saracens who infringe, in open play, and so George Ford boots the ball out. Bath really need something from this next five minutes or so if they're to keep alive their hopes of winning the Premiership title.

Peter Stringer is withdrawn for Chris Cook, meanwhile, which should bring an end to his Bath career.

A knock-on over on the left-hand side as Bath attack leads to a scrum, and a couple of resets later referee Wayne Barnes seems to be losing a bit of patience, letting out an exasperated shout of "fellas, fellas, listen..."

At the next attempt, the Sarries pack wins a penalty though, so Owen Farrell kicks to touch.

Owen Farrell's kick is as sweet as you like and Saracens will be glad to have just stemmed that increasing flow of Bath points since half-time.

But how often do you see a team concede a penalty right after converting one of their own? Ollie Devoto is the offender, caught offside as Saracens pile forward, so Owen Farrell will have an opportunity to restore those three points lost less than 60 seconds ago...

George Ford's penalty is good, and Bath continue to eat away at that Saracens lead, which has now been trimmed from 22 points to only nine during the third quarter of this Premiership final.

BBC Sport's Nabil Hassan at Twickenham: "Bath have shown their hand early here. They're going to run it at every given opportunity and with that first try they've now got the bit between their teeth. The majority of supporters here at Twickenham are wearing blue and black and they can sense a comeback. Electric atmosphere.

Away from the rugby, there are 11 chaps here at Twickenham wearing cricket gear. Batting pads, cricket bats, full whites. Top effort."

It's all become a bit sloppy from a Sarries point of view, as George Kruis infringes in jumping at the line-out, allowing George Ford another pop at goal from a tightish angle...

Again Bath have the ball back in hand, however, and George Ford's grubber through has put Saracens full-back Alex Goode under just enough pressure to cause him to rush his clearance straight out of play.

A Saracens replacement to tell you about too, as Neil de Kock comes on for Richard Wigglesworth at scrum-half. The South African is straight into the action too following George Ford's spill, and Sarries win a penalty at the scrum.

The Blue, Black and Whites secure the ball from the restart and look to run it from deep inside their own half again. And Kyle Eastmond has won a penalty, allowing George Ford to head for touch.

Bath look a completely changed team in this second half, as captain Stuart Hooper is withdrawn for Dominic Day. The forward replacements made by Mike Ford have so far made a real difference.

And Bath have their first try of the final! Having switched the ball from right to left, centre Jonathan Joseph throws in the kind of sidestep that is fast becoming his trademark, allowing him to go over in the corner. Terrific finish.

Bath owner Bruce Craig punches the air as George Ford lands the conversion.

Game on?

Kyle Eastmond has a clear sight of the line, but it's a superb try-saving tackle by Petrus Du Plessis on the Bath centre. But still they attack...

And now Chris Wyles infringes, coming off his feet at a ruck, so Bath have another opportunity to come forward. Into the Saracens 22, they've not been here too often...

Leah F F Wright:, external #bbcrugby a lot of talk about @bathrugby all season but they still haven't won anything have they??

Gareth Vaughan:, external Have a feeling that we will see a Ford, Kyle Eastmond and Joseph masterclass in the second half and an incredible Bath comeback! #bbcrugby

They are, slowly but surely, showing some more encouraging signs too are Mike Ford's side. George Ford's mini-break wins some yards, before Jonathan Joseph sends a grubber out to touch. A rare bit of field position for Bath.
