Sale 13-6 Northampton
Image source, Getty ImagesIt hasn't been the greatest of matches so far, but Sale have the lead thanks to a bit of innovation from Sam James.
Danny Cipriani and Stephen Myler have exchanged kicks as the battle of the potential England fly-halves currently stands at two penalties apiece and one conversion for the Sale man.
Try (James, con Cipriani)published at 15:07
Sale 13-6 Northampton
What a lovely try from Sale centre Sam James.
The late replacement for Sam Tuitupou in Sharks' starting line-up faces up to Saints' defence, kicks the ball over the head of Stephen Myler and his turn of pace is just too much for the visitors to deal with and he finishes with aplomb.
Danny Cipriani adds the extras as the clinical Sharks extend their advantage.
Moments earlier, Myler had brought Saints level with a penalty.
Sale 6-3 Northamptonpublished at 15:07
A classic footchase between Northampton's Luther Burrell and Sale's Mike Haley after the visiting players' interception ends just outside the home 22.
Burrell was looking over his shoulder, knowing that he didn't have the legs to beat his opponent. We all know that feeling.

Penalty (Myler)published at 15:02
Sale 6-3 Northampton
Stephen Myler has his side on the board after Sale are penalised for having hands on the floor.
The Saints fly-half slots the ball right through the posts from 35 metres out to bring his side to within three.
Sale 6-0 Northamptonpublished at 15:00
A kick from Northampton Saints' Stephen Myler has Sale penned deep in their own 22, and hooker Tommy Taylor - who has been struggling with injury so far today - has to be smart with his line-out choice.
The Sharks manage to win the penalty. The Saints' indiscipline may be costing them.

Penalty (Cipriani)published at 14:54
Sale 6-0 Northampton
This match is pretty much solely being played in the midfield, but Danny Cipriani has the chance to double Sale's led after a Saints player comes in at the side.
The fly-half finds the middle of the posts, but there really is not much in this match to shout about.

Penalty (Cipriani)published at 14:48
Sale 3-0 Northampton
Danny Cipriani makes no mistake this time.
From virtually the same position as his first kick, the Sale fly-half's boot manages to just get enough distance on the ball to put his side on the scoreboard.
