Wasps 3-3 Northampton
Another penalty chance and Jimmy Gopperth makes amends this time, slotting the ball over with a slightlier easier kick. Slap bang in the middle and we are level.
Wasps 0-3 Northampton
Jimmy Gopperth strikes the post for Wasps.
A let off for Northampton, that. Saints mop up and clear, but Wasps are unrelenting and are quickly back on the attack.
Not much in the way of free-flowing rugby at the moment. Plenty of crunching challenges in midfield, but just that Rob Miller break from Wasps to threaten the try line.
A great steal by Saints and they work the ball across looking for gaps in the home defence, but there's nothing being given. The ball is pumped clear and we are back in Northampton's 22.
A good catch by Joe Launchbury and Wasps drive towards the line but are thwarted by the whistle.
Saints survive, but the home crowd are sensing their team is on top and the points are coming.
Wasps turning the screw here now. They kick for the corner and opt for the line-out.
Wasps 0-3 Northampton
It was a wonderful break by Rob Miller but he's come up just short. Some great cover defence by Saints just about kept him out.
Wasps 0-3 Northampton
Wasps take a quick penalty after a Saints infringement at the scrum and could have scored a try through full-back Rob Miller. It's gone to the video ref.
Wasps 0-3 Northampton
An early penalty for Saints. Wasps fail to roll away and Stephen Myler slots the ball over from about 45 metres.
