    Harlequins 5-3 Bath

    Harlequins' handling is looking really sharp in this opening quarter and they gain another penalty as Bath are pinged for playing the nine. 

    Tim Swiel is on the field for Nick Evans - an initial blood replacement that is now permanent - but he misses his first attempt at goal after 24 minutes.

    Bath's forward pack gain a penalty from the scrum and full-back Tom Homer steps up to start their account for the afternoon. 

    At the end of the opening quarter there's just two points separating these two sides.

    Harlequins 5-0 Bath

    We all wondered how Semesa Rokoduguni would bounce back and he's just showed exactly what he's made of with an almost length of the field break. 

    Rokoduguni spotted a gap in the middle of the field and turned on the pace. He stayed on his feet but Bath couldn't quite finish it.

    Harlequins 5-0 Bath

    Bath can't make the most of their ball and constantly fly-half Dan Bowden is being put under a huge amount of pressure in this opening 15 minutes. 

    Conversely Harlequins are looking dangerous in and Bath are having to put in big hits in left, right and centre.

    What a start to the second half for Sale and they needed it.

    A great off-load from TJ Ioane sets up Bryn Evans to run-in for the try and the visitors are back in this game.

    AJ MacGinty adds the extras and the deficit is down to 12 points.

    Harlequins 5-0 Bath

    Ten minutes gone and Harlequins are looking sprightly while Bath are a little off the pace. 

    A penalty against the hosts gives Bath their first attacking position to work from and the ball goes to the tail of their lineout.

    Harlequins 5-0 Bath

    Bath have their first real bit of possession it's a great loop around from Ben Tapuai back to Dan Bowden but Tom Homer fumbles the next ball. Harlequins have the scrum and gain a free kick with five minutes on the clock.

    With just two minutes on the clock Harlequins catch Bath far too narrow defensively. 

    Harlequins make it look so simple as they whip the ball out with a beautifully weighted final ball from Nick Evans to Tim Visser. The hosts are five points to the good and looking sharp!

    Try number two for Wasps' Ashley Johnson!

    Kyle Eastmond and Jimmy Gopperth both break away and release the ball to Johnson who goes over.

    Gopperth misses the extras but its a big advantage now for the hosts with just a few minutes to go until half-time.

    Saracens 24-20 Gloucester

    Saracens' forwards take control with a final counter ruck and the hosts get the ball off the field sharpish! It hasn't been a vintage performance from Mark McCall's side but it's a victory nonetheless.

    There's 30 seconds left on the clock as the forwards set up what could be the final scrummage of the afternoon. It's Gloucester's put in and they gain clean ball throwing everything to try and clinch more than a losing bonus point from the match.

    Against the breeze James Hook can't secure the points as his kick goes wide and Saracens restart the match with just under two minutes to play.

    Saracens 24-20 Gloucester

    There's a series of reset scrums before Gloucester gain the penalty. Billy Twelvetrees is on the field and now captain and he signals straight to the posts. Time is ticking down and James Hook is kicking into the field from about 40m out.
