  1. Leicester 15-19 Harlequinspublished at 65 mins

    Referee Tom Foley goes to the TMO to check if a late tackle from Quins' Joe Marler is worth a card, but there is nothing doing, so Tigers simply have a penalty and they kick long for territory.

    The hosts are five metres out. They could really use a try right now.

    The visitors win a penalty within range, but Nick Evans drags his kick wide. Could that miss come back to haunt Harlequins?

    It's a shame really because Tommy Bell was having a good solid game. His kicking was excellent."

    Quins send a decent grubber kick down the touchline for Marland Yarde to chase, and Tommy Bell does well to get there first and usher the ball out of play. But the Tigers fly-half pays a painful price for his defensive work, as he crashes into the advertising boards. He is replaced by Matt Smith and Owen Williams will play at number 10 for the hosts.

    Harlequins make good yardage with a powerful driving maul, and then spread the ball out wide, but they spill a quick pass and the chance for a try is wasted.

  8. Replacementpublished at 52 mins

    Leicester 15-16 Harlequins

    Quins make five changes, bringing on captain Danny Care, Joe Marler, Nick Easter, Joe Gray and Kyle Sinckler. How big a boost will that give the visitors?

    Leicester steal the ball from the resulting Quins lineout, and now the hosts have possession inside the Quins half.

    Leicester struggle to make any ground though, and eventually concede a scrum.

    Leicester have a scrum in their own half, and it has to be re-set multiple times. How long will Referee Tom Foley's patience last?

    Eventually Leicester get the ball out and Mathew Tait kicks long into the Quins half.

  11. Replacementpublished at 47 mins

    England's Dan Cole comes on for Leicester, to warm applause from the home fans. He replaces Fraser Balmain.

  12. Penalty (Bell)published at 46 mins

    Leicester 15-16 Harlequins

    The kicking from both number 10s has been almost flawless so far and this time Leicester's Tommy Bell reduces the deficit.

    That was not the start to the second half that Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill will have wanted. Tigers have possession in the Harlequins half now, as they look to turn things around as quickly as possible.

  14. Penalty (Evans)published at 42 mins

    Leicester give away a penalty immediately, and Nick Evans strikes his kick cleanly between the posts to extend Harlequins' lead.

    The first half was quite disappointing there wasn't a lot of rugby played at all. Hopefully we'll see a bit more ball in hand."

    Leicester prop Marcos Ayerza will be in action for Argentina in about an hour's time for their World Cup semi-final against Australia.

    But first we've got an intriguing second half on our hands here at Welford Road. The players will be back out shortly.

    I think Richard Cockerill will tell Leicester to try and keep the ball a bit more and impose a bit more pressure on Quins. When Leicester are more direct and go forward and get quick ball they look very dangerous."

    That is the end of the first half and it is Harlequins who lead, largely thanks to a try from flanker Jack Clifford, who has been impressive so far.
