    Wasps 20-17 Exeter

    What a tackle from Willie le Roux to deny Jack Nowell, but the Wasps full-back is offside so we have to come back for the penalty.

    Just the 34 phases for Exeter there which so nearly resulted in a try. What control.

    Now they go!

    First Will Chudley and then Olly Woodburn with an injection of pace and the Chiefs are within sight of the try line.

    Wasps 20-17 Exeter

    After opening up whenever they seemed to have ball in hand in the first half, Exeter are now keeping everything tight and short at the moment.

    They're going through a lot of phases, tiring down Wasps' defence but they're not making big metres over the gain line at the moment.

    The white shirts of Exeter with the ball, but it is slow at the moment.

    Henry Slade, on for Phil Dollman, looking for more and more of the ball as he attempts to get himself, and his team, back into this game.

    There must be something in the South Stand at Twickenham that is creating a load of glare that means the team attacking it can't play with their heads up and make accurate passes. What happened to Wasps in the first half is now happening to Exeter.

    It's an incredible change in fortunes for both sides.

    Jim Dale: The fact you can finish top of the Premiership table and not be champions is ridiculous. That said, c'mon Exeter.

    Kyle Utterson: Brilliant counter attacking try from Wasps and what a start to the 2nd half it's been. It's gonna be a classic.

    Geoff Parling hits Danny Cipriani just as he is about to pass the ball to try and stop the Wasps playmaker.

    It's a clean tackle but his hand knocks the ball on and so Wasps have themselves a put into the scrum.

    Now Wasps unload their bench on this energy-sapping afternoon.

    Exeter with the ball in hand, going through the phases and we have not been able to say that too much in this second half.

    They win a penalty but Gareth Steenson goes for the deep touch and Wasps stop it from going out and kick clear.

    Possession, territory and dominance are all well and good, but finals are all about making the most of your 'moments'.

    Wasps have been second best for most of this match, but timely tries either side of the break see them in the driving seat.

    Exeter look rattled - Dai Young's side have looked classy since going ahead, and we all know what damage Wasps can do if they're in the mood...

  12. Penalty (Gopperth)published at 54 mins

    That surging run up, the right-footed strike and the usual outcome - Jimmy Gopperth with a succesful kick.

    From 14-3 down that is 17 unanswered points for Wasps now.

    The more time Cipriani's on the ball, the better Wasps play, He needs to be positioned at first receiver 80% of the time. That's where the ball is.

    Wasps have really found their feet in this final with Danny Cipriani and Jimmy Gopperth growing in influence.

    Gopperth's 40 metre break from deep gets the team that finished as league leaders to the edge of the Exeter 22-metre line where they win a penalty.

  15. Replacementpublished at 51 mins

    A whole new front-row for Exeter and they impress from the line-out as Rob Baxter's men make a good 20 metres before being brought down just before the halfway line.

    Christian Wade takes a high kick under pressure but is immediately hit back by Olly Woodburn.

    Sensing his side going backward, Danny Cipriani drills a low kick out wide for some territory.

    Wasps 17-14 Exeter

    He was THE hero at Sandy Park when his kick from a penalty to touch got Exeter close to the Saracens try line that allowed them to score in the semi-final.

    But going for the same thing, Henry Slade puts too much on his left-footed strike and it goes dead.

    What a turnover, what a score. Nathan Hughes already played the 'no ruck' law and in there he was again. He's been brilliant at the breakdown. If no Exeter player comes into clear the ruck, there is no ruck.

    Phil Dollman was injured and would have been covering. Brilliant finish though, Christian Wade showed the pace to commit Olly Woodburn and the bounce was lucky for Daly to finish.

    Ollie Devoto with a knock-on from a simple pass as all of a sudden Exeter look the ones with a touch of final nerves.

    Phil Dollman is unable to continue with Henry Slade on for him.

    Wasps lead for the first time!

    This is all made by Nathan Hughes is quickly becoming man-of-the-match contender.

    He bounces off five tackles, the ball is worked of to Christian Wade whose kick over the top causes Ollie Woodburn problems and Elliot Daly manages to gather a lucky bounce.

    Jimmy Gopperth's conversion clips the post to add another two points.
