  1. Saracens 0-10 Bathpublished at 15:56

    Bath get a penalty following a line-out and Francois Louw points to the posts rather than opt for the corner.

    It's right on the touchline and Rhys Priestland's kick drifts just wide.

    Wing Nev Edwards has his second try of the afternoon, thanks largely to Sam James' break, and the Sharks are running riot.

    Danny Cipriani misses from the tee, but the gap is now 21 points with around a quarter of an hour remaining.

    Bath have defended well in the opening half-hour and have managed to frustrate Saracens - and shown discipline at the same time.

    The sides have been trading tactical kicks in the last few minutes, with most of the action taking place in the middle of the park.

  4. Half-timepublished at 15:50

    Gloucester 15-7 Leicester

    The first period comes to an end at Kingsholm. After a drab opening 20 minutes, Gloucester raced into a 12-0 advantage courtesy of a James Hook score and a miscommunication between Telusa Veainu and Freddie Burns under the high ball which resulted in Ben Morgan powering over.

    Leicester reduced the gap through a rare try from Marcos Ayerza before Hook added a penalty minutes before the break.

    Tigers will need to eradicate the errors from their game if they are to mount a comeback in the second half.

    And just as I was about to tell you not much has been going on between Sale and London Irish, the Sharks go and grab their fourth and bonus-point-securing try of the day.

    TJ Ioane's offload is gathered by Nev Edwards, who crosses to extend the lead to 12 points.

    Danny Cipriani's extras make it 14 points, and it's a long way back from here for the Exiles.

    Errors are costing the Tigers here.

    Leicester strike back immediately.

    Freddie Burns collects his own kick and the Tigers recycle the ball quickly for Marcos Ayerza to drive over from a metre out, bringing his run of 95 games without a try to an end.

  9. try

    Try (James, con Cipriani)published at 15:33

    Sale 19-10 London Irish

    How about this for a start to the second half for Sale Sharks? London Irish lose their own line-out, Sam Tuitupou breaks and then feeds Sam James, who crosses from close range.

    Danny Cipriani converts and Sale are back in charge.

    Bath's forwards make great progress with a rolling maul and then the backs get in on the action.

    Debutant Dan Bowden feeds Tom Homer and, with Duncan Taylor momentarily backing off, the full-back runs a perfect line to get the first score of the afternoon.

    Rhys Priestland adds the extras from out wide, his kick curling in beautifully from the left-hand touchline.

    Bath survive an ominous period of Saracens possession by the skin of their teeth.

    Sarries look like they are going to get a try from their first foray into the Bath 22 but, after working the width of the pitch to create an overlap, the final pass out to Duncan Taylor is forward.

    Taylor was in to score but referee Dean Richards blows for a scum.

  17. Gloucester 0-0 Leicesterpublished at 15:18

    The pitch is taking a battering at Kingsholm as the crowd endure a fourth reset of the scrum.

    Gloucester with the put-in on Leicester's five-metre line but after some clumsy handling from the Cherry and Whites, Leicester win the scrum and clear their lines. Few sparks so far in this game.

    And that'll be that for the first half between Sale Sharks and London Irish.

    Scores from Brian Mujati and TJ Ioane put the home side in command, but that penalty try late in the half means just two points separate the teams at the interval.

    Saracens 0-0 Bath

    Our third game of the day is also under way now, with table-toppers Saracens in action at home to Bath in a repeat of last season's Premiership final.

    Sarries suffered their first defeat of the season in their last league outing against Harlequins, while Bath have lost their last four games in all competitions.

    Try (penalty try, con Geraghty)published at 15:13

    Sale 12-10 London Irish

    Do we have a game on our hands at the AJ Bell?

    A series of drives from the London Irish pack ends with referee Greg Garner losing patience and awarding the Exiles a penalty try, which Shane Geraghty converts to give us a two-point match.

    Just a couple of minutes to go until the break.
