    And Ian Whitten has Exeter's first try of the semi-final, showing tremendous persistence and strength to force his way over from close range.

    Gareth Steenson converts from right in front of the sticks and the Chiefs are back ahead.

    My word, almost an instant Exeter Chiefs response! A solid scrum allows the home backline to wing the ball through hands out wide to Jack Nowell, who just runs out of room with the line at his mercy.

    They're coming back again here though, are Exeter...

    First attack from Wasps and they score. That was a really good catch and drive try after a difficult start. That's quietened down the home crowd a little bit.

    The grounding is good and Wasps strike back at Sandy Park! At the bottom of a whole heap of white and black shirts, Carlo Festuccia is the man claiming the try.

    Jimmy Gopperth adds the extras and the visitors edge ahead.

    Exeter 6-0 Wasps

    Wasps think they're over! The visiting pack getting a rolling maul rolling, rolling, rolling towards the Exeter line... But we're heading to the television match official to check the grounding.

    There's a worrying feeling of deja vu here as Wasps, just as they did two weeks ago, are yet to get into the game.

    Now then, this is more like it from Wasps, as another superb defensive effort wrestles the ball back, secures a penalty and allows Jimmy Gopperth to boot it into touch to set an attacking platform.

    The line-out is right on the Exeter 22... But then the throw isn't straight. Not ideal.

    Exeter 6-0 Wasps

    Gareth Steenson duly lands the penalty and slides Exeter Chiefs into a 6-0 lead.

  9. Exeter 3-0 Waspspublished at 11 mins

    Now then, an infringement at scrum time from Wasps has handed Gareth Steenson another kickable opportunity from the tee. This is much further out, but the man with the golden boot fancies it...

    Exeter certainly don't want to play at a pedestrian pace this afternoon. They'll be looking to run the big Wasps forwards all over the park.

    It looks like our man Brent Pilnick has bagged himself a lovely little seat in between the two coaching teams at Sandy Park. I wonder what Dai and Rob will make of what they've seen so far? Maybe Brent could pop over and ask for us...

  12. Exeter 3-0 Waspspublished at 7 mins

    Wasps have yet to enjoy possession in opposition territory, as Exeter again pile forward, this time through the fleet-footed Jack Nowell.

    But James Haskell absolutely flies out of the defensive line to send Gareth Steenson backwards, and Christian Wade is subsequently able to boot the ball clear.

  13. Penalty (Steenson)published at 4 mins

    Exeter 3-0 Wasps

    Gareth Steenson, with the wind at his back, splits the posts from around 35 metres and the home side strike first.

    That'll settle a few of those nerves we were talking about earlier.

    And now the Chiefs have the first penalty of the second semi-final, Nathan Hughes pinged for playing the ball on the floor.

    "I'll have a tee please," says Gareth Steenson...

    "What an atmosphere here in Sandy Park. It may be a 12,500 sell out, but it feels like 50,000 with the noise the fans are making for their home town heroes as they come out."

    The hosts, with ball in hand and into a sixth phase, are doing all the early running here.

    Just the start Rob Baxter will have asked for.

    Exeter skipper Gareth Steenson boots the kick-off long into the Wasps 22 to get us up and running.

    That drizzle is getting heavier and heavier, and the crowd louder and louder.

    Here we go then, let's get cracking. England back-rower James Haskell leads Wasps out, all in white, followed by Gareth Steenson and his Exeter Chiefs troops, all in black.

    It's overcast and a little drizzly in Devon.
