Wasps really needed that try, it's raining hard now and which changes the nature of the game

Rain is tumbling down in the horrid conditions and Exeter pick up the ball on the back of a knock-on.

Some fierce defence ends up bringing the ball back and Georgian prop Zurabi Zhavania puts in a kick Lima Sopoaga would be proud of to clear their lines. Phew.

Owen Farrell make sure that Callum Shedey's long-range attempt is quickly cancelled out and ensures that pressure on the line pays.

It's a good old tussle on the scoreboard right now with six minutes to play before the break.

Wasps camped... and driving...

Exeter pinged at the scrum and the ball whizzes to touch from the boot of Lima Sopoaga.

Meanwhile, British and Irish Lions wing Alex Cuthbert is on for Exeter... his first task will be to defend.

Sione Vailanu is penalised for a high tackle and Bristol Bears' fly-half decides to take the shot at goal.

Callum Sheedy is unfazed by the fact it's from a fair old distance out, around 50 metres, and he gives it a good old thwack.

It's taken 23 minutes for Leicester to earn a try bonus point and it’s their marquee players that are grabbing this game.

Manu Tuilagi has been a constant threat and George Ford has 17 points on the board already. This is exactly what the Leicester fans wanted to see.

It's getting a bit scrappy now. Both teams tossing the ball away when placed.

Knock-on at the ruck gives Wasps ball. Then Gaby Lovobalavu - on an advantage play - just cannot put Elliot Daly away. Sloppy execution.

They'll come back for the scrum instead.

Two slumping scrums in a row see Wasps get a penalty.

Already seeing the radar-guided missiles lurking in Lima Sopoaga's boots. Absolute sizzler of a kick to touch.

They are into the 22... Until a fumble and mix-up turns the ball over.

Wasps not making the most of the generosity gift there.

A corker from around 40-metres out plumps Leicester's cushion in this Premiership encounter... they're rocking and rolling today.

Callum Sheedy had his Weetabix this morning, other breakfast cereals are available (!), and he nails a long distance penalty. It duly put Bristol Bears in front as we move into the second quarter of the match and the visitors mean business.

Exeter smuggle Joe Launchbury into touch on the back of a short line-out.

Then Wasps concede a penalty on the back of the corresponding line-out.

Easy get-out for the Chiefs.

Wasps grinding away on the Chiefs rearguard, pick and go after pick and go but the visitors are granite-tough.

However a hand in the ruck gives the Wasps a penalty. Ball banged to touch... then a penalty comes at the line-out.

Here we go...

Wasps introduce Lima Sopoaga from the bench and young Billy Searle gets a break.

Big things expected from the skilful, pacy All Black. He's got some magic in those hands... can he drag Wasps back into it?

He'll need the pack to fire if so.

Dai Young will be wondering what on earth goes through his players' heads sometimes.

Yes, Wasps have the ability to break teams out wide. But they went for a huge tip-on shift left in midfield?! Ball to touch. They need to build position.

Then Nathan Hughes, chasing a kick through in defence, goes shortside on his own, and ends up in touch. It's his last involvement. He's off injured, and James Gaskell is on.
