    Clock running down to the break at The Rec.

    Wasps with the only try of the game so far and Elliot Daly has continued to show why he's being talked up so much as an England candidate with both his running with ball in hand and his ability to kick a penalty from some distance.

  9. Bath 0-8 Waspspublished at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2016

    Into the last 10 minutes of this first half and it's been far from fluid from either side.

    Wasps have had more composure though and could be further ahead if conditions were better for kicking off the tee.

    Tries from Carl Kirwan and Francois Hougaard, as well as three Tom Heathcote penalties, have given Worcester a commanding 13-point lead at the break.

    Sale will hope Dave Seymour's score has kept them in touch enough to mount a come back but they have struggled with the little ball in hand they've had so far.

    Ben Ransom gave Saracens the ideal start with a try inside four minutes, however, the north London side have a tough second half ahead with only 14 men after Schalk Brits saw red for a punch on Nick Wood.

    Dan Robson instrumental at scrum-half for Wasps and he works it wide left to Charles Piutau deep in Bath's 22.

    25 minutes gone at The Rec and still just the one score on the board.

    Quote Message

    We've had two phases in their half, we're losing the territory battle and the front phases of possession. With that, it prevents you from getting a foot-hold in the game and that's the picture you've seen so far.

  18. try

    Try (Seymour, missed con)published at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2016

    Worcester 18-8 Sale

    The commentator (or writer's?) curse.

    Sale's first real foray into the Worcester 22 and it is an impressive one. 

    A line-out on the 22 metre line and the forwards power their driving maul all the way up to the try line for Dave Seymour to go over - Danny Cipriani slices the extras wide.

  19. Penalty (Heathcote)published at 15:42 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2016

    Worcester 18-3 Sale

    Tom Heathcote, who has struggled at times from the tee this season, slots his third kick from four to extend Worcester's lead.

    They're well on top in this game.

    After a stoppage in play to allow Saracens' Schalk Brits and Nick Wood of Gloucester to get treatment, the referee goes to the video referee to watch what unfolded.

    In short, Brits lashed out after Wood's legal hit with a punch while they were on the floor together. Marching orders given and James Hook adds a second penalty for Gloucester.
