Gloucester drive a set move off their scrum which sees Danny Cipriani strike off first phase and put the chip through.

It's collected and the visitors swing it wide to Matt Banahan who almost bundles over down the left, how many times will the Rec faithful have seen him do that!?

The Cherry and Whites are keeping the ball alive and the forwards now have the line in touching distance.

This time, Gloucester construct a clean scrummage. After they progress forwards but play has to be halted because Danny Cipriani is down injured.

He receives some treatment but is back up soon enough and play restarts with a Cherry and White scrum.

The home side are up to 12 phases... Freddie Burns the wide ball away but he's put under huge pressure from his former team-mate Charlie Sharples and looks to be winded as a result.

Joe Cokanasiga tries to get an offload out to Jamie Roberts on the far left but he can't control the ball and it results in a knock-on.

Sharples' tackle is reviewed and the decision is that it was just a strong, and legal, hit.

After the flood of points in the first half, it's not been quite so free flowing at Welford Road in the second-half.

Leicester had Telusa Veainu sin-binned but so far have survived unscathed while down to 14.

Coming up to the final 10 minutes and 13 points in it.

The Tigers fans have enjoyed what they've seen from George Ford this afternoon, handing him their man-of-the-match award.

Bath will be under pressure today, they've got their season off to a poor start and I can understand Todd Blackadder changing the half-backs after last week.

Now it's Bath's turn to spend some time with the ball in their hands before Freddie Burns puts an excellent kick through to pin Gloucester back deep inside their own half. The Cherry and Whites secure their lineout and Callum Braley's box-kick has good distance on it.

With so much at stake in this match both sides will be eager to try and convert any possession into points as quickly as possible.

The Cherry and Whites have been pressing strongly early on but they make the error from the first scrum of the game.

Bath gain the free kick, their front-three roar at each other, and Freddie Burns clears to halfway to diffuse the early pressure.

John Campbell: These grunt torture tries from Exeter are terrible for non-specialist spectators. Rugby just looks crude and horrible. Rules need changing, i.e. must pass more than 5m at least every fourth phase.

John's clearly not a fan of the Chiefs' style, but what do you think? They did scores six tries today after all. Get in touch using #bbcrugby on Twitter.

With a minute and a half on the clock, the crowd at the Recreation Ground get their first glimpse of the danger that Danny Cipriani posts (as if they needed reminding).

He collects his own chip over the top but can't quite get it neatly away to Charlie Sharples.

Luke Pearce is the man in charge of today's derby clash, it's his 77th Premiership game and his assistant referees are Karl Dickson and Roy Maybank.

With a short sharp blast on his whistle, Pearce starts what should be a tumultuous and thunderous derby. Hold onto your hats, here we go!

Just look at these head-to-heads:

• Danny Cipriani v Freddie Burns
• Matt Banahan v Semesa Rokoduguni
• Charlie Sharples v Joe Cokanasiga
• Val Rapava Ruskin v Henry Thomas

Take your pick! This should be an absolute cracker and the knock has just gone on the away dressing room door. We're just moments away from kick-off and Eddie's ready!

Bath’s Freddie Burns stepping to warm-up earlier on having pushed Rhys Priestland onto the bench today.

George Ford makes a half-break and causes havoc in the Newcastle backline but is unable to make the breakthrough for a try.

He does get the penalty though, and slots it to make it a 13-point ballgame.

As always, let's orientate ourselves in a few numbers before this afternoon's encounter.

Gloucester haven’t won their opening two fixtures of a season since 2007/08 and their only victory in their last six away games in Premiership Rugby was on a visit to London Irish in March.

Today's hosts, Bath, have won just two of their last seven Gallagher Premiership Rugby matches, at Gloucester in April and at home to London Irish in May. But, they've not lost their opening two matches of a Premiership Rugby campaign since 2009/10.
