Bath win the line-out but can't make anything of it as their driving maul splits into two.

Tigers look to turn over the ball and Cooper Vuna decides enough is enough, as he kicks the ball out.

But victory takes Todd Blackadder's side up to fifth in the table, as they end 2018 with back-to-back victories.

A massive kick from James Wilson puts Bath inside the Tigers 22.

It will boil down to a set piece in their bid for a fourth try.

The ball is loose, then there is a Leicester offside.

Bath could still go for the try bonus point. Or will they just kill the game?

In the end, Leicester win a scrum penalty, and George Ford kicks up to around the Bath 10 metre line.

The clock is about to go red. It's now or never for the Tigers.

Scrum to Bath inside the Leicester half, and Blue, Black and Whites are taking their time over this as they run down the clock.

Good defensive work from Semesa Rokoduguni forces a knock-on from the Tigers.

That might be enough to see the hosts home.

It was central, a few yards in front of halfway and Ford makes no mistake.

A converted try in it, can the Tigers get an unlikely draw with three minutes left?

Leicester have the ball and start going through the phases, but Bath forward Jacques van Rooyen is penalised for not rolling away,

Goerge Ford spots the ball to go for a long-range penalty attempt.

Bath restore the lead to 10 points as Rhys Priestland slots a penalty through the sticks from range.

We are heading into the final seven minutes - can Bath find another try for the bonus point?

The Tigers captain is successful with the kick, bringing his team back into losing bonus-point territory.

Ten minutes remain at The Rec.

It's all over at Ashton Gate and what a way to see out 2018 for Bristol.

A bonus-point win for the Bears courtesy of that late drama and despite taking a losing bonus point, Newcastle will stay bottom of the pile.

Playing with advantage following a decent spell on the attack, George Ford kicks through looking for Jonny May to run onto the ball.

But this time there is too much on his grubber kick, and May can't get there before the ball runs out of play.

We'll go back for the penalty, with Ford placing the ball on the tee on the angle.

Sione Kalamafoni is forced off for a head injury assessment after being felled following an honest contest at the line-out.

The number eight landed heavily on his back.

Brendon O'Connor is back into the fold for the Tigers.

Level again as Toby Flood slots over the penalty after Newcastle pressure.

We have six minutes to determine the outcome.

Bristol are their own worst enemy as they fumble the restart inside their own 22 and hand the ball to Newcastle to go in search of a fourth try.

Into the last eight minutes....
