  1. Penalty (Bell)published at 37 mins

    Penalty for offside gives Leicester a big chance - and Tommy Bell pops it over.

    It came on the back of Peter Betham and Mike Fitzgerald combination that carved up the Bath cover.

    Bath had a two-on-one situation but Telusa Veainu read it perfectly, interecepted the pass and managed to run the full 90 metres to touch down.

    Try (Veainu)published at 33 mins

    Leicester 8-5 Bath

    Interception score from Telusa Veainu, who picks off with Bath camped inside the Leicester 22 to race away and score.

    Bath had moved the ball across the line looking to find a gap and looked like they'd worked the overlap but there was the Tongan to mop up and burst away.

    No luck with the conversion. Three points is the lead.

  4. Leicester 3-5 Bathpublished at 32 mins

    Bath are awarded a penalty. Leicester looked as though they've caved in at that scrum.

    Kick fails to find touch but it's pumped back to Bath in their 22 and they look to bring it forward.

    In midfield now.

    We've even stopped the clock briefly while JP Doyle looks to sort out this scrum quandary.

    Back on now and the crowd are restless.

    Half an hour gone. We had a scrum. We had a tangible push. Then we had a bit of a wheel and then JP Doyle blew.

    And back we go. Yawn.

    I don't think the scrums are standing close enough together and they're off balance when they're engaging.

    Leicester got a bit of momentum through a steamroller run from Mike Williams but with Bath flailing back into position, Ben Youngs can't find his man on the wing as the wind starts to bite.

    Oh, and that means another scrum. Bath feed just short of their own 22.

    Nikola Matawalu fumbles the ball off the line-out, and a promising Bath opportunity comes to nothing.

    It means we have another scrum, Tigers put-in. Penalty goes against Bath and Ben Youngs will find touch.

    Some massive hits went in during that last passage of play. We'll be counting up the number of fit players at the end of the game at this rate.

    Marcos Ayerza is penalised at the scrum, Bath go for touch.

    Line-out in the 22.

  14. Leicester 3-5 Bathpublished at 25 mins

    Bath get a taste of their own medicine at scrum-time when Leicester steal it against the head but the home side can't execute.

    Ball comes back for the George Catchpole knock-on and we're setting up again.

    Hope this scrummaging doesn't start to ruin this game. It's been open and lively in the loose.

  15. Leicester 3-5 Bathpublished at 23 mins

    Bit scrappy that.

    Bath won the ball against the head but then Leicester fumble after winning the ruck and it's a scrum to the visitors.

    JP Doyle not happy with the set-up of that one though.

    Not the first time today we've had a scrum problem.

    Leicester are so tenacious with their line speed and it forces a Bath error. Tigers scrum.

    Mike Ford's side more than happy to play the high-risk at-the-line passes - it almost paid off there.

  18. Leicester 3-5 Bathpublished at 20 mins

    Ben Youngs unable to get much distance with his box-kick and it gives Bath a line-out on the 22.

    Good pressure for the visitors.

    I think it's been a great game so far considering the conditions. George Ford is controlling it at the moment, playing exceptionally well in both attack and defence and marshaling his troops.

    Nikola Matawalu clips a little kick into touch after Semesa Rokoduguni takes a high-ball and Leicester have a line out deep in their own 22.
