Plenty of Bristol possession inside Gloucester's half but no points... yet.

Plenty of big tackles go in from the Cherry and Whites and eventually Bristol get a penalty from a scrum in front of the Gloucester posts.

Gloucester run out of steam as Billy Twelvetrees fails to release on the Bristol 22. Billy Searle can boot it clear and into touch.

Back on comes Tom Marshall for Gloucester after his 10 minutes on the naughty step either side of half-time.

Somehow Gloucester are denied a try after around 18 phases of picking and driving inches towards the Bristol line.

The ball is held up over the line by Bristol, but there's no let up for them as Gloucester get a put-in at a five-metre scrum.

Almost a blistering break for Gloucester through the Bristol defence from Henry Trinder, but his pass wide right to Sione Kalamafoni can't quite find the flanker's hands.

Promise in attack from the Cherry and Whites.

Solid defensive start to the second half from Gloucester as they deal with Bristol's threat at the breakdown.

Billy Burns boots a penalty clear after a Bristol infringement 30 metres from the Gloucester line.

Teams back out and away we go for the second half.

Gloucester resume with just 14 men remember as Tom Marshall has around eight more minutes in the sin bin.

Don't forget, we've got two more days of live action to follow after tonight.

Northampton v Leicester in the east Midlands derby is among three games on Saturday.

In the latest edition, Chris Jones and Ugo Monye dissect the last knockings of this year's Six Nations and ask is the Eddie Jones honeymoon over?

While we're on the subject of the Six Nations, why not allow yourself a bit of time to relive some of this years best moments with the tries of the tournament.

George North may or may not be among those appearing...

Wales and Northampton Saints wing George North was a special guest of our colleagues at BBC Radio Northampton earlier this week.

North had a lot to talk about after an eventful end to the Six Nations with his country and the prospect of facing local rivals Leicester on Saturday.

He says he was disappointed no action was taken over an alleged bite on him in Wales' Six Nations defeat by France.

Half-time cuppa time and while you enjoy, we'll bring you a round-up of some other stories from the rugby world this week...

Gloucester try to eek a maul deep into Bristol's 22 in the final seconds of the half, but Bristol force it out of touch.

That's the break. Not a classic first 40 minutes, but it's Gloucester who scored the only try and have the lead.

Billy Searle takes advantage of the chance for three points from 40 metres back to give the hosts something to cheer on the stroke of half-time.

And the decision is that Tom Marshall did deliberately knock-on and the yellow card is shown by referee JP Doyle.

Bristol look for something to claw themselves back into the game before the break. 

Television match official Rowan Kitt is looking to see if Gloucester full-back Tom Marshall deliberately knocked-on a Bristol offload by Sam Jeffries. 

And Billy Burns successfully kicks his 18th Premiership attempt in succession to extend Gloucester's lead to 10 points.

Gloucester resume play and after some patient build-up force an infringement from Bristol on their 10-metre line.

Billy Burns will have a go for three points from a central position.

Tusi Pisi goes off on the stretcher to receive more treatment. We hope it's not too serious for the Bristol centre.

Long stoppage in play here as the physios deal with injuries to players on both sides. 

Bristol hooker Marc Jones is getting some attention for a neck injury, but the main concern is for Tusi Pisi, who is being strapped on to a spinal board and stretcher as a precaution.

It looked like a nasty collision in the tackle.

So Tusi Pisi goes off for Bristol to be replaced by Jack Tovey for what looks like a head injury assessment and now Gloucester's David Halaifonua is receiving attention as he becomes the latest to take a knock.

Not one for the faint-hearted this match so far...
