    It is the battle of the east now after Scarlets win the opening match.

    Old school Rodney Parade slowly filling up. Will it be Cardiff Blues celebrating a third successive win or can the Dragons finally win a Welsh league derby at the 22nd attempt in a losing record stretching back to December 2014?

    Scarlets 20-17 Ospreys

    Scarlets captain Ken Owens has been replaced as the clock goes red. Ospreys have a try on their own five-yard line. They will need to go the length of the pitch if they are to get anything out of this game.

    Scarlets have knocked it on, with just 35 seconds left on the clock!

    Patchell is a yard away from sealing the win but in the resulting ruck a Scarlets pair of hands knocks the ball on and the Ospreys may have one last chance to salvage something.

    Scarlets 20-17 Ospreys

    Scarlets piling on the pressure once again. Ospreys conceding a number of penalties, a card may be on the way. Scarlets captain Ken Owens opts against the three points as the hosts instead go for the corner. Will they live to regret that decision?

    A rapturous applause from Scarlets fans for Samon Lee as he's replaced by South African Werner Kruger. He’s put in a big shift this afternoon.

    Luke Morgan

    Hold on, I spoke too soon! Luke Morgan gets his try after being denied in the first half. The Ospreys' first real attack of the second half is rewarded with a try. Justin Tipuric bulldozing his way through defenders before offloading to Morgan who had to pace to get to the corner before being caught. Sam Davies' conversion is well wide so the Scarlets stay three points ahead.

    Ospreys have let this game get away from them in the second half. There is still 20 minutes to get back into it, but that looks a tough task if the Scarlets keep this momentum going.
