    It's Bath who go into the break with their noses in front. After a scrappy start it's growing into an intriguing contest at The Rec.

  6. Penalty (Ford)

    Jackson Wrayget

    And at long, long last Saracens have their try! Jackson Wray crosses after a catch-and-drive from the home pack to put his side ahead.

    Owen Farrell misses the conversion, but that will still be a huge relief to Mark McCall.

  8. try

    Try (Kalamafoni, missed con Twelvetrees)

    Gloucester 13-7 Worcester

    Sione Kalamafoni thinks he has got Gloucester's second try of the afternoon in the corner but the decision is referred to the television match official.

    After a bit of deliberation referee Craig Maxwell-Keys decides there is no infringement and awards the score.

    Twelvetrees slices the conversion wide. He's had a mixed start to the afternoon.

  9. Penalty (Evans)

    Bath 10-12 Harlequins

    Bath are penalised for not staying on their feet and Quins have their second penalty in as many minutes and Nick Evans sends over his fourth of the half.

  10. Sin-bin (Tikoirotuma)

    Saracens 6-7 London Irish

    Asaeli Tikoirotuma, London Irish's try-scorer, will have to spend the next 10 minutes in the bin for a high attack.

    Saracens are on the attack...

  11. Penalty (Twelvetrees)

    Gloucester 8-7 Worcester

    Gloucester have a period of sustained pressure in the Warriors 22 and eventually force a penalty from a scrum, six metres in from touch.

    Cherry and Whites skipper Billy Twelvetrees slots it through the posts, making amends for that early missed conversion.

  12. Penalty (Evans)

    Bath 10-9 Harlequins

    Harlequins come roaring back and Nick Evans sends over his third penalty of the game from in front of the posts. 

  13. try

    Try (Eastmond, con Ford)

    Bath 10-6 Harlequins

    Persistence eventually pays off as Kyle Eastmond goes over in the right corner after Ollie Devoto's pass sets his fellow Bath centre free.

    George Ford sends over a fine conversion from the touchline to extend the lead to three points.

  14. Penalty (Farrell)

    Saracens 6-7 London Irish

    Saracens have been knocking hard on the London Irish door in the early stages of this second half and they at last have some points to show for it, courtesy of the boot of Owen Farrell.

    We have a one-point game in north London.

  15. Bath 3-6 Harlequins

    Bath in the ascendancy but they can't find any holes in this Quins defence with 10 minutes until half-time.

    Tom Heathcote converts.

  17. try

    Try (Hibbard, missed con Twelvetrees)

    Gloucester 5-0 Worcester

    Billy Twelvetrees misses the conversion.

  18. Kick-off
