That is it from us in terms of rugby union coverage this evening.

Thanks for joining the ride during the afternoon as Bath, Exeter and Saracens all recorded victories.

We'll have more live text coverage tomorrow when Wasps host Bristol and Newcastle entertain Leicester.

Until then, goodbye.

Reigning Premiership champions Saracens record their third win of the season after a physical encounter with Northampton.

Alex Lozowski and Saints counterpart Stephen Myler kicked three penalties each as the first half ended 9-9.

Myler put the visitors ahead after the break but Sarries seized control when Alex Waller was sin-binned.

Jamie George crossed and the hosts were then awarded a penalty try before two more Lozowski penalties sealed victory.

Luke Cowan-Dickie scored a hat-trick as Exeter Chiefs condemned Harlequins to their second defeat in three games.

Lachie Turner and Cowan-Dickie both grabbed first-half braces, with Gareth Steenson kicking nine points as the hosts led 29-13 at the break.

Rob Buchanan went over in response and Tom Swiel converted after landing two earlier penalties.

Cowan-Dickie competed a treble before Charlie Walker and Danny Care replied for Quins. Tomas Francis saw red for Exeter late on.

Leroy Houston scored on his Premiership return with Bath as Todd Blackadder's side fought back to beat Worcester Warriors at The Rec.

The Blue, Black and Whites ran in four tries to go top of the table on points difference.

This is how the Premiership table stands after today's three matches.

Bath go to the top of the pile on points difference after they beat Worcester, but Saracens are level on points with Todd Blackadder's side after their win over Northampton.

Exeter move up to sixth after recording their first victory of the season over Harlequins.

The final whistle goes at Allianz Park, and Saracens have recorded their third victory of the season.

The reigning champions were made to work hard for victory by Northampton, in what was a extremely physical encounter.

Northampton think they have scored their first try of the afternoon following a good passing move which stretched the play across to the right flank.

However, referee Greg Garner blows up as the final pass from Ken Pisi to Mikey Hayward was forward.

A correct decision but it looks like Northampton will be denied a losing bonus point.

Exeter finish a man down after Tomas Francis' red card for kicking out at a scrum, but the hosts see out a 36-25 win over Harlequins

Quins failed to make the advantage count as they didn't add the the score after Francis' exit eight minutes from the end.

Saracens number 10 Alex Lozowski slots another penalty through the posts to put the seal on this victory.

That is a personal tally of 17 points from the fly-half in the absence of Owen Farrell.

Saracens are starting to smother Northampton, who really only have a losing bonus point left to play for.

Sarries force a handling error and get a scrum about five metres outside the Saints 22.

Luther Burrell is back up on his feel and is being helped off by the medics, but he won't continue.

Play is set to be restarted with a scrum to Saints.

Bath complete the win and maintain their perfect start to the season. They grab a bonus point with four second-half tries. Great second half comeback, that.

Just a few minutes still to play at Sandy Park as Exeter lead Harlequins 26-25.

There's a stoppage in play at Allianz Park as Luther Burrell puts in a massive hit on Brad Barritt.

Burrell is down after taking the full force of Barritt's hip on his jaw in a rather shuddering collision.

A chance for both sides to catch breath as Burrell receives attention from the medics.

Saracens are very much in control now. Alex Lozowski adds another three points from the penalty which Dickinson went to the bin for from right in front of the posts.

I doubt Northampton will be able to salvage anything from this match.

Northampton go down to 14 men once again, and this time it is Sam Dickinson.

It is for a series of offences by the Saints, and Dickinson did not roll away from the tackle right in front of the posts.

Bath have a four-try bonus point in the bag after Leroy Houston, the man making his return on a short-term deal, grabs a try. Around the ground, Bath united and sing 'Leeeerrroooy, Leeeerrrroooy', great noise being made at The Rec.

Earlier Semesa Rokoduguni also went over for the hosts and Perry Humphreys grabbed a reply for Worcester.

Two tries from Harlequins makes it an 11-point contest at Sandy Park against Exeter. Quins tries came from Charlie Walker and Danny Care.

Saracens are starting to get on top of the Northampton pack and a massive rolling maul wins another penalty.

The champions go to the corner again in a bid to press home their advantage and score another try.

There are less than two minutes on the clock for Alex Waller to spend on the sidelines.

Northampton are looking to rediscover their momentum after going down to 14 men and conceding that try.

The Saints had looked like they might have seized control of the game after going 12-9 up but are now looking to consolidate their position while a man down.
