    Wasps 16-13 Leicester

    Matthew Tait knocks on for Tigers inside Wasps' 22 and a good chance breaks down.

    Tait is furious with himself. Scrum to the hosts.

    Wasps 16-13 Leicester

    Telusa Veainu breaks for Leicester but the big Tongan is shoved into touch.

    I think we're going to see plenty of last-ditch tackles this half. Everything is at stake.

    Sonja McLaughan on BBC Radio 5 live:

    "It's perfectly poised isn't this game going into the second half?

    "There's been two tremendous tries and some fantastically composed place kicking and kicking at the posts from both sides."

    Wasps came out of the blocks lightning quick with a superb try. Leicester, 10-0 down with the stadium rocking you thought the occasion might have got to them.

    But Peter Betham's try and their determination have clawed them back into this, so it's still all to play for.

  10. Half-timepublished at 18:03 British Summer Time 20 May 2017

    Wasps 16-13 Leicester

    An engaging first half comes to an end at the Ricoh Arena.

    Kurtley Beale put Wasps ahead as he finished off a superb team try, before Peter Betham crossed for Leicester following Freddie Burns' pinpoint pass.

    But Jimmy Gopperth's third penalty on the stroke of half-time has just edged Wasps in front.

    What a cracking second 40 we've got coming up.

    Send it between the uprights is what Mr Gopperth can do with that.

    Tremendous kick from distance and Wasps are set to go into the break in front.

    Chris Jones on BBC Radio 5 live:

    "Tremendous response from Leicester.

    "If it's tight going into the final 20 minutes, Wasps could tire here and it could work into the visitors' favour."

    Wasps 13-13 Leicester

    You don't see that very often.

    The Premiership's top points scorer this season crashes his penalty against the outside of the post and we still have a level game.

    Wasps 13-13 Leicester

    Leicester forward Dom Barrow is punished for an infringement at the maul and it's a penalty to Wasps.

    Jimmy Gopperth is going for the posts...

  16. Eddie Jones watching onpublished at 35 mins

    Wasps 13-13 Leicester

    I mentioned earlier that Eddie Jones might want to keep an eye on Wasps wing Christian Wade.

    Well the England chief is in the stands at the Ricoh Arena. In a nice scarf. That's about the height of my fashion knowledge.

    Anyway, the game has gone quiet for the moment as it's contested in the middle of the park.

    Wasps 13-13 Leicester

    Ding, ding, round two. A scrum collapses and both sets of forwards are suddenly pushing and shoving again.

    It all calms down quickly though. There's so much at stake here. No one wants to give an inch.

    Ashley Johnson was pleading with the touch judge there to go to the TMO.

    What a pass there floated over the top of Christian Wade from Freddie Burns and what a finish from Peter Betham.

    A fantastic comeback from Leicester.

    Peter Betham crosses in the corner for Leicester. But what an assist from Freddie Burns.

    The Tigers fly-half collects the ball after a sweeping move from right to left and launches a pinpoint pass over a couple of Wasps heads straight to Betham who has the easiest of finishes.

    Burns converts and we have a level game.

    Wasps' players aren't happy because Danny Cipriani was down injured, but the referee didn't stop the game.

  20. Penalty (Gopperth)published at 24 mins

    Wasps 13-6 Leicester

    It's as simple as they come for the New Zealander.

    20m out, straight in front of the posts, 13-6 to Wasps.
