    Can Wasps sneak a losing bonus point here with another score?

  4. Penalty (Heathcote)published at 15:43

    Bath 18-14 Worcester

    Dom Day's words clearly fell on deaf ears as Bath are indeed penalised shortly after the restart and Tom Heathcote makes no mistake.

    Worcester are hanging on in here.

    It was really great attacking play and nicely-worked try. A good way to finish the game.

    Try (Halai, con Gopperth)published at 77 mins

    Wasps 16-26 Saracens

    Try of the game so far from Wasps as they claw some respectability back on the scoreboard.

    Charles Piutau and Sailosi Tagicakibau made the initial breaks from their own half. Wasps then worked it wide right and Frank Halai was able to run across the line from 20 metres out.

    Jimmy Gopperth makes no mistake with the conversion.

  7. Penalty (Priestland)published at 15:40

    Bath 18-11 Worcester

    An ideal start to the second half for Bath as Rhys Priestland lands his kick after Worcester are penalised at the scrum.

    That's just the start we wanted. Now we need a clean exit, unlike the first half when we gave away penalties straight from the kick-off, and get the momentum in our favour.

    Back under way at The Rec, with Bath looking to protect their four-point lead.

    The photographer at Bath has captured Worcester boss Dean Ryan with a halo. Will his side need divine intervention?

    Wasps 9-26 Saracens

    Wasps concede on their five-metre line for being caught offside. Owen Farrell chooses to take the three points instead of pushing for a third try.

    Saracens all of a sudden sniffing a bonus point here. Eeking out the phases and choking Wasps of the ball.

    Owen Farrell misses a penalty attempt. He is human after all.

    Right foot lets him down on this occasion as it sneaks left from 35 metres.

    Soul-destroying stuff for Wasps and there's a bit of handbags on the floor between scrum-halves Richard Wigglesworth and Joe Simpson.

    Saracens clinical here when it's mattered - and Wasps agree...

    Wasps 9-23 Saracens

    You wait an hour for a try and then two come along in quick succession.

    A hint of good fortune in this second Saracens one though as a succession of kicks forward bounce favourably into their hands and Duncan Taylor turns provider this time as Owen Farrell picks up the pop pass and runs in unapposed.

    Kicks the conversion to good measure as well.

    Bath 15-11 Worcester

    Rhys Priestland's missed conversion proves to be the last play of the first half and it's Bath who head into the interval with their noses in front.

    Try (Agulla, missed con Priestland)published at 15:19

    Bath 15-11 Worcester

    Four minutes into first-half stoppage time, Bath regain the lead with their second try of the game.

    Great patience from the hosts with the clock red ends with Horacio Agulla going over out wide and the TMO awards the try.

    Try time at last. Duncan Taylor finds a hole in the Wasps defence as he runs on to the ball from 40 metres out and nobody is catching the Scotsman in a straight line sprint.

    Rob Miller at full-back had no chance.

    Owen Farrell kicks the conversion.

  19. Penalty (Gopperth)published at 55 mins

    Wasps 9-9 Saracens

    Jimmy Gopperth bags his second penalty of the day with his right foot.

    Three penalties each now.

    Saracens infringe as Will Fraser doesn't roll away from 40 metres out.

    Chance for Wasps to level it up again.
