Johnny Leota makes a burst for the line before showing quick hands to release Tom Arscott who bundles over in the corner.
Danny Cipriani misses the conversion again, but this is quite incredible.
Sale 12-0 Saracens
What a start from the hosts! Sam James is involved again as he gathers a chipped pass and offloads to Johnny Leota who touches down in the corner.
Danny Cipriani misses the conversion from the touchline, but Saracens are already up against it.
Sale 7-0 Saracens
Image source, BBC SportThat is an absolutely stunning try from Sale! Sam James starts the move on halfway, exchanges passes with Will Addison and then finishes the move himself.
Danny Cipriani adds the extras.
We could have an early contender for try of the week.
Ben Spencer's kicking game for Saracens has been spot on so far as Saracens begin to build some attacking momentum.
Sarries also have another man with a decent boot in their line-up though...former England fly-half Charlie Hodgson.
How important will he be today?
We have our first scrum of the afternoon in the centre of the pitch.
It's a Sale put in on the edge of Sarries' 22.
Good test of the Premiership leaders' defence early on.
Quote MessageThe surface has firmed up real well considering the amount of rain we have had over the past fortnight. It is great conditions and dare I say there is some blue sky in Manchester right now. It will be an exciting game.

Sale v Saracens (13:00 GMT)
Nathan Middleton
BBC Radio Manchester
"First blip of the afternoon at the AJ Bell stadium goes to Saracens who have only turned up with the their blue and grey change strip, which clashes with Sale's home navy colours. Sarries do own a white kit which would have been fine to play in but there's been some crossed wires somewhere.
"The Sharks have been forced to change into their day glo away kit now as they have their changed strip here. No excuses for not being able to see the pass to one of your team mates now..."

Have Saracens recovered from their shock 64-23 Valentines Day massacre by Wasps? Will Sale be able to cope without Danny Cipriani when he rejoins Wasps next season?

The 38-year-old penned a new one-year deal at the AJ Bell Stadium on Friday.
"Peter is a model professional who is incredibly fit and shows no signs of getting old," said Sharks director of rugby Steve Diamond.
"He has brought our backline to life this season."
Sale v Saracens (13:00 GMT)
Former England fly-half Charlie Hodgson captains Saracens against his former side.
Hooker Jared Saunders replaces the suspended Schalk Brits and Jacques Burger returns as flanker in two of seven changes for Sarries.
Marcelo Bosch, Nick Tompkins and Ben Spencer come into the back line, with Titi Lamositele and Kelly Brown also back in the pack.
Replacements: Porecki, Barrington, Figallo, Low, Rhodes, Taylor, Mordt, Earle.
Sale v Saracens (13:00 GMT)

Jonny Leota, Will Addison, Ross Harrison and Andrei Ostrikov also come into the Sharks team.
Replacements: Briggs, Lewis-Roberts, Mujati, Mills, Ioane, Cusiter, Ford, Jennings.
Sale v Saracens (13:00 GMT)
Image source, Nathan MiddletonFor those of you who like a little flutter, a Sale home win has become something of a banker in recent seasons.
The Sharks are unbeaten at the AJ Bell Stadium in 10 months - their last defeat coming against Harlequins last April.
Premiership leaders Saracens may well challenge that record today having won 11 of their 13 league games in 2015-16.
Although Sale will be looking for revenge after their 41-3 defeat at Allianz Park on the opening day of the campaign.
So what does that all mean?...we could be in for a cracker!
It seems only five minutes ago the Christmas decorations were being put up, the turkey was in the oven and a feast of festive sport was under way.
But somehow, the end of February has crept up on us and we are now more than halfway through this most unpredictable of Premiership seasons.
Image source, Getty ImagesThis afternoon there are another three tasty fixtures to get your teeth into starting with leaders Saracens taking on Sale at their formidable AJ Bell Stadium at 13:00 GMT.
That's just for starters as the focus then switches to the bottom end of the table with Northampton Saints hosting Worcester Warriors (14:45 GMT) and Gloucester playing Newcastle Falcons at Kingsholm (15:00 GMT).
