    Leicester 12-13 Harlequins

    Plenty of Quins fans have high hopes for the 22-year-old try-scorer.

  3. Leicester 12-13 Harlequins

    Leicester win yet another penalty, just within kicking range for Tommy Bell. Can he kick the hosts into a half-time lead?

  4. Leicester 12-13 Harlequins

    Quins prop Adam Jones takes a knock to his ribs, and is getting some treatment on the field.

    But the visitors will be delighted with how they improved as this game has gone on, after a slow start.

    Leicester need to speed up the game a bit. They look a lot better when they're being direct and playing with pace."

    Try (Clifford, con Evans)

    Leicester 12-13 Harlequins

    From the lineout, Harlequins eventually cross for the first try of the game. The ball is popped up to Jack Clifford, two metres out, and he dives over for his first try of the season.

    Nick Evans then duly converts to give the visitors the lead for the first time in the game.

  7. Leicester 12-6 Harlequins

    From the scrum, Harlequins win another penalty. They take a look at the angle to kick for the posts, but they opt to kick for the corner.

    Scrums just takes too long out of the game. We need to find a way of speeding it up. It becomes frustrating for the spectators."

  9. Leicester 12-6 Harlequins

    The officials agree it was a knock-on, but Tigers' Adam Thompstone is not given a yellow card. Harlequins have a scrum, five metres out.

    The game has slowed to a crawling pace. Someone needs to inject a bit of life into proceedings.

  10. Leicester 12-6 Harlequins

    Harlequins break forward and hooker Dave Ward is held up two metres out. A few phases later, Quins are still denied, metres from the line. Leicester's Adam Thompstone looks like he may have knocked on, intentionally. We are going to the TMO to check.

    I want to know why Michael Fitzgerald is allowed to wear bright orange boots? I wasn't allowed to wear them."

  12. Penalty (Bell)

    Leicester 12-6 Harlequins

    Tigers fly-half Tommy Bell has no trouble kicking the hosts back into a six-point lead.

    That's four out of four from the 22-year-old so far this afternoon.

  13. Leicester 9-6 Harlequins

    Leicester play with an advantage and put up a high ball for Mike Williams to run onto, who almost claims it close to the try line, but he can't hold onto it, so we will go back for the penalty, to be kicked by Tommy Bell.

  14. Leicester 9-6 Harlequins

    Now Harlequins lock James Horwill is being patched up by the medical team. He looks like he'll continue. Leicester have a lineout inside Quins' half.

  15. Penalty (Evans)

    Leicester 9-6 Harlequins

    Now Nick Evans steps up to close the gap for Harlequins from the tee. There has been a sizeable lack of discipline so far.

  16. Penalty (Bell)

    Leicester 9-3 Harlequins

    Tommy Bell kicks an absolute monster of a penalty from more than 50 metres out, and makes no mistake. The hosts extend their lead.

    I'd like to see a bit more line speed from Leicester. It looks like they're standing off at the moment."

  18. Leicester 6-3 Harlequins

    There has been plenty of kicking for territory so far, and little in terms of running with the ball.

    We are currently seeing a brief pause while Leicester second row Mike Fitzgerald receives treatment, before a Leicester scrum on half way.

  19. Penalty (Bell)

    Leicester 6-3 Harlequins

    Referee Tom Foley feels Harlequins hooker Dave Ward didn't release quickly enough, and Tommy Bell steps up to restore a three-point lead for Leicester.

    Quins director of rugby, Conor O'Shea, won't be pleased with a couple of silly mistakes which have led to Leicester's penalties.

  20. Penalty (Evans)

    Leicester 3-3 Harlequins

    Nick Evans kicks Quins level almost immediately after Tigers are penalised for being offside.
