    Still no sign of a way back into this one for winless London Irish as we reach the hour mark.

    Definitely no way back now as Tim Visser crosses the line for the second time this afternoon.

    Nick Evans faultless with the boot once again and things looking ominous for Tom Coventry's side.

  4. Bath 0-3 Northamptonpublished at 42 mins

    The Television Match Official has been called into action after Ethan Waller made contact with Chris Cook after the Bath scrum-half launched a box kick.

    However Craig Maxwell-Keys decides not to award a card and just gives a penalty.

    George Ford gives the home side a line-out just outside the 22.

    Two minutes left for Bath with 14 men...

    And no sooner did I press 'publish' on the previous Worcester entry then Leicester finally get their act together in the line-out and slice open the Warriors' back line through Telusa Veainu.

    Owen Williams pulls the conversion wide.

  6. Kick-offpublished at 41 mins

    Bath 0-3 Northampton

    The action has restarted at The Rec as Northampton fly-half JJ Hanrahan gets the second half under way.

    Can Bath stop Saints from scoring while Henry Thomas completes his time in the sin-bin?

  7. Worcester 17-7 Leiecesterpublished at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2015

    Worcester continue to lead by 10 points at Sixways and their 13 men are continuing to hold firm.

    Worcester 17-7 Leicester

    Warriors with their hands firmly on the self-destruct button. Wayne Barnes awards Leicester a string of penalties before reaching to his pocket and Gareth Milasinovich is sent to the bin.

    Second try of the afternoon for Harlequins after London Irish had started positively after the break.

    Bath 0-3 Northampton

    Northampton have dominated at the scrum and Bath have lacked fluency.

    However there's only one penalty in it at the moment.

    Saints will have a man advantage during the opening stages of the second half, and the wind behind them.

  14. Postpublished at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2015

    We're off and running in the second half at both The Stoop and Sixways. Both Harlequins and Worcester hold 10-point leads.

  15. Bath 0-3 Northamptonpublished at 39 mins

    Luther Burrell comes close to forcing himself over the line, and Northampton come very close to a try but George Pisi knocks on just metres away from scoring under pressure from Anthony Watson.

    Saints are looking to capitalise on their numerical advantage before half-time.

  16. Bath 0-3 Northamptonpublished at 38 mins

    Henry Thomas is the eighth Bath player to see yellow in the Premiership this season.

    The west country side have had five more players sent to the sin-bin than any other side in the league.

    They are being overwhelmed at the scrum.

  17. Half-timepublished at 15:57 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2015

    Worcester 17-7 Leicester

    That's it for the first period at Sixways and Worcester go into the break with a 10-point lead.

    The home team have been dangerous with ball in hand and look good at the moment to maintain their unbeaten home record.

    Leicester with some thinking to do.

  18. Sin-bin (Thomas)published at 35 mins

    Bath 0-3 Northampton

    Bath are successful at the scrum but Matt Banahan knocks on in contact with Jamie Elliott as he was heading towards the line.

    Northampton dominate the resulting scrum and Henry Thomas is sent to the bin as Bath concede their fifth scrum penalty.

  19. Bath 0-3 Northamptonpublished at 33 mins

    Ollie Devoto puts a perfectly weighted kick into the Northampton 22 and causes problems for Ben Foden and Jamie Elliott.

    A good chase from Bath leaves Saints under pressure and Bath force a knock-on.

    Can their scrum take advantage of this attacking opportunity?

  20. Bath 0-3 Northamptonpublished at 28 mins

    Bath put the pressure on immediately from the kick-off and force a five-metre line-out.

    Saints are penalised for pulling down a maul and the Blue, Black and Whites go for the corner again.

    However Rob Webber throws the line-out too long and Saints manage to steal the loose ball and clear their lines.
