    Exeter 19-17 Bath

    And Bath win a penalty at the breakdown. Tom Homer points to the posts and sends his kick straight through the middle.

    The deficit is down to two points.

  3. Exeter 19-14 Bathpublished at 70 mins

    That's a rarity this afternoon...Bath win a penalty at the scrum.

    They use it to advance into the Chiefs' 22. Big last 10 minutes coming up.

  4. Exeter 19-14 Bathpublished at 67 mins

    It's all gone a bit scrappy as we reach crunch-time. 

    A series of scrums and line-outs won't help Bath.

    Leicester v London Irish (15:00 GMT)

    Leicester head into this game off the back of a poor run of form with three Premiership defeats in a row while London Irish's Premiership season hasn't exactly been sweetness and light!

    The Exiles find themselves at the bottom of the table and at a venue that they haven't won at since September 2014.

    London Irish head coach Tom Coventry spoke after last week's defeat by Exeter of a need to win away from home and quickly.

    What better time to start than exactly a calendar year since their last one - a 50-12 demolition of last season's whipping boys London Welsh.

    Irish have fond memories of their last visit here, a 22-19 success in September 2014 courtesy of 17 points from the boot of Shane Geraghty.

  7. Penalty (Steenson)published at 64 mins

    Exeter 19-14 Bath

    Bath give away a penalty after pressure inside their own 22 and Gareth Steenson slots over Exeter's first points of the second half.

    That will be a bit of a relief for Rob Baxter and the home fans.

  8. Exeter 16-14 Bathpublished at 61 mins

    Meanwhile Max Lahiff is back on after a spell in the sin-bin. Bath didn't concede a point while the prop was off. Impressive stuff.

  9. Exeter 16-14 Bathpublished at 60 mins

    Dave Ewers comes off for Exeter Chiefs. The flanker has lasted an hour on his return from a knee injury.

    James Short has been sensational so far this afternoon. The Exeter wing simply cannot be tackled! 

    He launches another Chiefs attack with a burst of speed, the ball works its way out to the left side, but Ian Whitten can't gather and the ball goes into touch.

  11. Exeter 16-14 Bathpublished at 56 mins

    This is much better from Exeter. James Short and Thomas Waldrom in the thick of things again as the ball moves from left to right, but Gareth Steenson can't gather and knocks it on.

    At least it eased some of the early Bath pressure.

  12. Exeter 16-14 Bathpublished at 54 mins

    I'm not sure we've seen a completed scrum so far in this game. Another two collapse in succession and Greg Garner dishes out the orders once again.

    Will the forwards listen? Probably not!

    They don't, a third collapses, and Exeter have the penalty.

    They're certainly trying to produce a big performance Hamish, having battled back from 16-0 down.

    Exeter break but Dave Lewis spills the ball. Pretty much sums up the opening 10 minutes of this second half for Chiefs.

    Full of errors.

  15. Sin-bin (Lahiff)published at 49 mins

    Exeter 16-14 Bath

    He was warned in the first half and now Max Lahiff has paid the price. Another scrum collapses and the Bath prop is sent to the sin-bin.

    Bath are absolutely buzzing now and Exeter look a bit shell-shocked.

    It's another handling error by the Chiefs and a scrum to the visitors.

    Replays are suggesting Amanaki Mafi may not have actually grounded the ball for his second try.

    Exeter may well have cause to feel a bit aggrieved by the decision not going to the TMO.

    In about three minutes this game has turned on its head. The Exeter forwards have got together and they'll know they have to sort this out - Bath have been good at the driving maul but it has been too easy to get over.

    Try (Mafi, con Homer)published at 42 mins

    Exeter 16-14 Bath

    Bath are back in this! Exeter give away a penalty straight from the kick-off, it's kicked into touch and a driving maul is set up from the line-out.

    Amanaki Mafi grounds the ball and the referee awards the try straight away.

    Tom Homer converts.

    Bath's Adam Hastings gets us under way in this second half.
