Five minutes to go.
Newcastle 10-8 Leicester
Leicester have started with great intensity in this second period. Richard Cockerill must've had some stern words in that changing room at half-time.
But his frustration shows once again as Leicester lose the ball and Falcons clear their lines.
Tigers have to be more clinical.

Bristol have certainly been better this second half and they're now only one score from a bonus point.
They're patient in attack and Gaston Cortes just about gets the ball down from close range and the try is given after it's referred to the TMO.

We're back underway at Kingston Park.
We've got a fair way to go to catch up with Wasps against Bristol, but it's a much closer affair here.
Just two points in it with 40 to play.
Wasps 63-15 Bristol
It's a second try for replacement Ashley Johnson, and a ninth of the game for Wasps.
It's been a good afternoon for the Wasps hookers, and Johnson crashes through and scrambles over to touch down.
Still 11 minutes remaining at the Ricoh Arena - can the hosts reach double figures in terms of tries?
Wasps 56-15 Bristol
Finally, an update which doesn't involve a try.
While Bristol need two more scores for a bonus point, if Wasps can extend their lead by another 15 points they will sit top of the Premiership tonight.
So still incentives for both sides even though the result is beyond doubt.
Wasps 56-15 Bristol
Can I have that towel back?
From the set-piece Wasps were caught unawares, and Mitch Eadie spots the gap and dives over to make the most of the lapse in concentration.
Bristol are into double figures and may be eyeing a bonus point - they need two more tries to secure that.

Golden boy Danny Cipriani has his first try since returning to Wasps this summer.
The England international does some great work down the flank and runs all the way in from 50 metres to get an eighth try for the home side after just 56 minutes.
Can Bristol not just throw the towel in?
Newcastle 10-8 Leicester
Slightly surprisingly, Newcastle go into the break with a narrow lead.
They went up 10-0 courtesy of Juan Pablo Socino's early try and Mike Delany's penalty, but Mike Fitzergerald grabbed his first try for Leicester to bring them back into the game and Burns slotted three points.
Not quite the shedding of points going on at the Ricoh but a quality game nonetheless.
Stay tuned for the second half.

Jimmy Gopperth finds the middle of the posts with the conversion.

Waldouck went off to celebrate there. Having put in the graft for the first try, he thought he'd grabbed one of his own.
Delany with a beautiful chip over the top which was plucked out of the air by Socino, and Waldouck scrambled over the line.
But referee JP Doyle pulls him for a double movement.
Wasps 37-8 Bristol

"It's been hard to keep up!
"Wasps are bringing the pace, and they're exploiting the massive gaps the Bristol defence.
"They have a 34 point lead... if my maths is right, they need to stretch that to 56 points to go top.
"The visitors need to regain some composure if they want to get back into the game."
Incidentally, we're back underway at the Ricoh Arena.
