    WOW.

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    Luke Charteris looks gutted. He was a hero 30 seconds ago, and now possibly a minor villain.

    Saracens are having a shot at goal. It'll be Alex Lozowski.

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    Bath doing the simple stuff here. Little pick and gos. Nothing expansive, nothing daft.

    BUT SARACENS GET THE PENALTY FOR HOLDING. 20 SECONDS TO GO.

    Luke Charteris comes up with the ball in midfield and Bath have possession. IN THE FINAL MINUTE!

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    This has been some game. Really intense, really pulsating.

    Bath looking to tick down the clock here deep in Saracens' half. Then Adam Hastings misses a drop goal. His last act before heading off following his head assessment replacement.

    On comes Dan Bowden to see Bath through. Kelly Brown on for Sarries, replacing Jim Hamilton.

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    Huge break by Tom Homer gets Bath into a decent position. Ball through the hands, series of drives. Bath forcing Saracens back. Almost up to the 22...

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    Saracens forced back toward their own line. Then Ross Batty swoops on a Jacques Burger pass and Bath intercept.

    Kahn Fotuali'i slams a kick downfield and from the chase, Dave Attwood coughs up a penalty for a high tackle.

    Slung to touch by Richard Wrigglesworth but then Michael Rhodes loses possession. Exceedingly scrappy stuff as this is nervy!

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    Kick gets Bath to their 10-metre line but from the line-out Sarries turn it over and get the penalty.

    Scrum-time.

    Jared Saunders cut down as Saracens raid. Bath slide their defence across.

    Still Sarries press, but Bath get the penalty for not releasing.

    Huge roar from this record 14,509 corwd.

    Sarries kick to the corner. No messing. They want a try.

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    Dave Attwood fumbles at the line-out and unsurprisingly Saracens scud the ball downfield.

    Bath scrabble back and force the ball away into touch. Sarries line-out. Is this their big moment?

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    Big leg-drive by Zak Mercer, then a pumping kick by Kahn Fotuali'i and Aled Brew wins the chase. Bath turn defence into attack.

    Bath get a line-out after Nathan Earle's hand touches a Fotuali'i spiral into touch. Can they press home a further advantage now?

    If you're a Bath fan then you'll be spitting feathers about the line-outs at the moment. Sarries snatched another but then cough up the ball with a forward pass.

    Let-off for Bath, it's still a slender lead.

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    Bath block a Richard Wrigglesworth kick to stall a Saracens move but Alex Goode pumps another back into the mix to turn the home side around.

    Big line-out for Bath here. They need to win it, and dish it away for a big kick. It's been a sustained stint in their own half the last 10 minutes.

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    All that Ben Tapuai billing has seemingly had a Samson-esque effect - a second kick that failed to find touch.

    Sarries are right back in their faces. Jackson Wray has had a fair bit of ball.

    Bath keep the ball in play and need an exit kick here... this time Tapuai bludgeons it into the stands. Relief for Bath but you know that Sarries will be back down there again soon...

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    The frantic intensity of the work in the loose is somewhat being lost by the set-piece messing about here.

    Scrum-reset. Five metres out from the Bath line and then A BATH PENALTY.

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    Last quarter to come. Bath have sent on big Ross Batty to add a bit of ballast to the scrum while Sarries have a whole new front-row...

    Bath 14-11 Saracens

    What defence from Bath?! What adventure by Saracens?! But a 5-metre scrum is all they get with Bath holding them up. First Jackson Wray looked to have crashed over but was chopped down and then Jim Hamilton was denied.

    This is some game. 14,509 attendance too.

    Jackson Wray hits the deck on the Bath 22. Saracens sniffing a chance here...
