FT: Sale 29-23 Harlequins
FT: Gloucester 13-10 Wasps
FT: Bath 25-17 London Irish
FT: Saracens 15-20 Northampton
Sale 16-13 Harlequins
Image source, BBC SportAfter a lacklustre first half from Sale, this is much more like it from the Sharks.
Instead of going for the posts with a penalty, Sale instead opt for the line-out and are rewarded when TJ Ioane touches down following a commanding driving maul. Joe Ford adds the extra and the hosts lead by three.
Gloucester are continuing to play intelligently and they're keeping a hold on this game. Clever kicks from James Hook and Billy Burns are keeping Wasps pinned in their half.
And they get another lift as they attack the Wasps scrum on half-way and win the penalty.
Saracens have won the first big set-piece contest of the game when Northampton got a scrum deep in the host's territory.
Scrappy execution in midfield lets the home side down, and Saints responded by dominating the second set-piece. It'll be a great battle up front by the looks of it.
No score and we're up to the 10th minute.
Bath 8-3 London Irish

The ball is moved through Leroy Houston's hands on the way to Matt Banahan, who crosses for the game's first try.
Sale 9-13 Harlequins
Both sides are back out at the AJ Bell Stadium and Harlequins' Ben Botica gets us going in the second half.
After you sir.
London Irish and Bath trade penalties.
Theo Brophy Clews lands his kick to make it 3-3 after nine minutes.
Bath fly-half Rhys Priestland, on his return from Six Nations duties with Wales, landed the opening points of this game with his first sight of the sticks.
Wasps with an immediate reply as Jimmy Gopperth slots his side's first points of the afternoon.
And after 20 minutes, Gloucester have already lost two players to injury. Henry Purdy leaves the field to be replaced by Henry Trinder.
A while ago we asked you who England coach Eddie Jones should be keeping an eye on this afternoon. Here are a few of your suggestions. Any more folks?
Early signs that Northampton will be going for it today as a fizzing cut-out ball to the left almost got Tom Collins away down the left.
He was shepherded into touch in the end though.
Hayden Smith took Courtney Lawes high and the penalty goes against Saracens. Saints can attack again.
Gloucester 10-0 Wasps
Image source, BBC SportWith Henry Purdy down on the far side for Gloucester, Greig Laidlaw pops the ball off to Richard Hibbard who crashes over from six metres out.
And the home side finally have a reward for all their pressure.
Relentless start at the Rec, with no break in play in the opening minutes.
It's fluid, it's exiting, plenty of the ball being recycled by both sides. There is no score.
On their five metre line, London Irish have a line out.
Saracens 0-0 Northampton
Saracens club it down field and Northampton get the first carry. We're off!
Bath 0-0 London Irish
London Irish's Theo Brophy Clews kicks the game off at the Rec, sending the ball straight down the middle.
Saracens v Northampton (15:15 GMT)
Jim Mallinder makes two changes to the Saints side which beat Worcester.
George Pisi takes over from Harry Mallinder at outside centre and England second row Courtney Lawes comes in for James Craig.

Gloucester have made a good start here but it's been slightly messy so far from Wasps with unforced errors disrupting their play.
The Cherry and Whites have an excellent field position following turnover ball and are putting the visitors under a lot of early pressure.

Sale 9-13 Harlequins
The whistle blows on the first 40 at the AJ Bell Stadium and it's Harlequins who hold the advantage against a Sharks side near invincible on home turf.
Three penalties from Joe Ford were cancelled out by two from Ben Botica and a converted Tim Visser try.
Advantage Quins.
Saracens v Northampton (15:15 GMT)
By their own huge standards, Saracens are going through a lean patch, with just one win in their last three games.
Of course, that's tempered by the absence of some key figures in their side on international duty, and players such as Alex Goode are back this afternoon.
Northampton have struggled to match the consistency of previous seasons but they can still roll out a strong squad.
The Pisi brothers, Ben Foden and Luther Burrell, controlled by the experienced Stephen Myler and Lee Dickson are backed up by a strong pack including Courtney Lawes and Kieran Brookes.
Mouthwatering.
