  1. try

    Leicester 23-3 Newcastle

    Leicester are over once more after superb work between Tom and Ben Youngs sets up Dan Cole for a go at the line. He's held up, but following up is Ellis Genge, who crosses over for his second try of the match.

    It all kicks off afterwards between the two teams, after Genge seemingly drops the ball on the face of a defender after scoring the try.

  2. Worcester 18-13 Bath

    Worcester lead for the first time at Sixways.

    Bath miss a tackle and Wynand Olivier crosses to great cheers from the home support, who are watching their side edge closer to Premiership safety.

    Ryan Mills converts to make it 18-13 with about 20 minutes to play.

  5. try

    Gloucester 22-24 Sale

    Gloucester are right back into the game. I have no idea which game this is going right now.

    Mark Atkinson offloads out of the tackle, leaving Henry Trinder with an easy finish.

    Billy Burns then converts. Two-point game.

  7. Leicester 18-3 Newcastle

    Leicester nearly had another as Adam Thompstone and Tom Youngs broke towards the line on the right wing, only for a combination of Joel Hodgson and Will Welch to keep the pair out.

  8. Worcester 11-13 Bath

    A chance missed by Worcester's Ryan Mills, who miskicks a long-range shot at goal and hits the base of the posts.

    That would have put Warriors in front for the first time in the match, but it wasn't to be.

  9. try

    Leicester 18-3 Newcastle

    Very well-worked try by Leicester off the back of the scrum as they work it from left to right, using the space out wide thanks to their extra man and Telusa Veainu touches down his side's second try of the afternoon.

    Freddie Burns has a hard kick on the right-hand side but my word, he does well to get that through the posts. 

    Newcastle need something soon... 

  10. Worcester 11-13 Bath

    Josh Adams goes over for Worcester, but it's a try made superbly by England centre Ben Te'o. His line break sets the platform and Adams touches down.

    Ryan Mills can't add the extra two and Warriors are two points behind.

    Worcester are playing a structured but attacking style. They're running at Bath and Bath's defence is still there, but it has been shaken slightly.

  13. try

    Gloucester 15-24 Sale

    Bonus-point try for Sale as Byron McGuigan crosses following excellent work on the wing by Josh Beaumont. Sale are doing the simple things rather well and Gloucester seem to have no answer.

    AJ MacGinty has the chance to put his side 11 points ahead, but misses the conversion.

  14. Sin-bin (Wilson)

    Leicester 11-3 Newcastle

    A series of Leicester scrums collapse and Newcastle prop David Wilson is penalised - he sees yellow and will sit out the next 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, Bath are forced to hold firm to maintain their seven-point lead. Worcester opted to kick to touch from a penalty and get close to the line, where the visitors manage to turn the ball over.

  16. Leicester 11-3 Newcastle

    We're back under way also at Welford Road and Leicester have failed to take advantage of a succession of lineouts around five metres from the Newcastle tryline.

    But an infringement at one of those leads to a five metre-scrum in favour of the hosts.

  17. Penalty (Ford)

    Worcester 6-13 Bath

    Bath add another three points from the boot of George Ford, but they've lost Charlie Ewels to injury early in the second period.

    The lock is sitting on the bench with ice being applied to his shoulder, and Zach Mercer has taken his place on the field.

  18. try

    Gloucester 15-19 Sale

    We've literally just begun at Kingsholm and within seconds Sale are back ahead.

    Good hands and plenty of men around the ball are the simple things that have made that try, with AJ MacGinty setting up Kieran Longbottom to cross the whitewash.

    MacGinty adds the extras and it's now a four-point game.

  20. As it stands

    Leicester v NewcastleGetty Images

    The battle for fourth spot won't change too much if these scores remain the same - Leicester and Bath will still be level on points with two matches remaining.

    If Worcester fail to win, that will give Bristol's slim hopes of survival a boost. They play leaders Wasps tomorrow.

    Gloucester, who lead Sale 15-12 at half-time, will move to within a couple of points of sixth place if they can hang on for victory at Kingsholm.
