Northampton enjoy a good spell of possession in Gloucester's half but there's no way through the visitors' backline... Eventually Gloucester see the pressure out.

But within moments, Saints have a penalty of their own as Alex Waller is impeded.

Stephen Myler restores the 10-point advantage with a clean kick.

Greig Laidlaw makes no mistake this time, after his two misses earlier tonight.

Gloucester are off the mark.

Gloucester move the ball across the pitch from their line-out and eventually win a penalty, within kicking distance for Greig Laidlaw.

Will it be third time lucky for the Scot from with his boot?

Gloucester prop Paddy McAllister is receiving treatment on the field. But he's OK to continue.

The Cherry and Whites have a line-out in the Saints half.

Straight between the posts, Stephen Myler gives Saints a 10-point lead. Easy.

That opening try came very much against the run of play. Gloucester won't be happy.

"I'm quite amazed he looked to be a metre short for me. The ball somehow made its way over the line.

"That's very disappointing."

The hosts could be in front here - they think they've scored a try. The officials have asked for the television replay to verify... There is the possibility of an illegal double motion from Louis Picamoles.

Gloucester full-back James Hook knocks the ball on and Northampton will have a penalty inside the visitors' half.

They opt for a scrum.

"You can see the crowd here. Everybody is your favourite when things are going well for you.

"The crowd are down, the team is down. It's got to be a great chance for Gloucester if they can just peg things away."

The attacking line-out finds a Saints man this time and they spread the play to Tom Wood - but eventually he is crowded out.

Gloucester win the ball back again.

Northampton win a penalty along the halfway line and they kick for territory, deep into the Gloucester half.

There may be no score on either board yet but Gloucester will be the happier of the two teams.

Northampton number seven Calum Clark has gone off, initially for a check on a head injury, replaced by Jamie Gibson.

But Gibson is likely to continue now as Clark has sat down in the dugout looking very, very disappointed.

That's a blow for Saints.

Ben Foden concedes a penalty and Gloucester opt to kick for three points.

But Greig Laidlaw misses again, this time just to the right of the posts!

Two misses from two for the Scotland captain so far tonight... And that one was slightly easier than the first.

"It was a forward pass, there's no doubt about that, but Harry Mallinder looked for him on the inside and George North came through there like a train. 

"Nothing was going to stop him. They practise it all week and you saw his eyes light up."

Saints have the put-in at a scrum, just inside Gloucester's half, and they break through George North and he's clear and he's through for the night's first try... but wait! No. The pass to North was forward. No try.

Greig Laidlaw kicks narrowly wide to the left of the posts, after Matt Scott had won a turnover penalty.

Opportunity missed for the Cherry and Whites.
