  1. Edinburgh 9-10 Montpellier

    Edinburgh build the phases after winning the line-out, and Jaco van der Walt threads a neat little grubber through to the Montpellier line, but Ruan Pienaar is back to snuff out the danger.

  2. Edinburgh 9-10 Montpellier

    Montpellier just starting to build up a head of steam, but Bill Mata wins a crucial turnover on his own 22 to stem the tide.

    Edinburgh launch the penalty to touch on the Montpellier 22.

  3. Penalty - Edinburgh 9-10 Montpellier

    Yacouba Camara takes the line-out and Edinburgh infringe at a ruck.

    Ruan Pienaar has a chance to give Montpellier the lead, and the South African scrum-half makes no mistake.

    The visitors haven't done a great deal, but suddenly they are in the lead.

  4. Edinburgh 9-7 Montpellier

    This time Montpellier win a penalty at the scrum, and they kick it to touch, just inside the hosts' 22.

  5. Edinburgh 9-7 Montpellier

    Edinburgh looking to inject more pace and energy into proceedings. Darcy Graham has a dart, Blair Kinghorn comes into the line again.

    But Jaco van der Walt's pass eludes Chris Dean and the Edinburgh centre knocks on. Scrum Montpellier.

  6. Edinburgh 9-7 Montpellier

    Edinburgh on the attack from the off, and Blair Kinghorn comes into the line. But there's a bit too much on the full-back's pass to Duhan van der Merwe, and the winger can't hold onto it.

  7. We're off again

    Edinburgh 9-7 Montpellier

    The players are back out, and Blair Kinghorn gets us back under way.

    Could be a momentous 40 minutes for Scottish rugby...

  8. 'Edinburgh need to be adventurous'

    HT: Edinburgh 9-7 Montpellier

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on BBC Radio Scotland

    When Edinburgh have the ball in hand and move it on from the first point of contact, they look dangerous. I think they've got to be a bit more adventurous.

  9. 'Selfish' Steyn resorts to 'default' mode

    HT: Edinburgh 9-7 Montpellier

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on BBC Radio Scotland

    Every time Frans Steyn gets the ball, he is quite selfish with it. He is trying to bump his opposite man off every time. But he has got far more to his game than that. It just shows you what the default is in French rugby, and what they are programmed to do. They take the contact first before looking for space

  10. Duhan the man for Edinburgh?

    HT: Edinburgh 9-7 Montpellier

    Duhan Van der MerweSNS

    Duhan Van der Merwe has brought a spark to Edinburgh's attack

    Duhan van der Merwe has looked dangerous every time he has seen the ball on Edinburgh's left wing.

    Given the size and strength of Montpellier's pack, you'd think Edinburgh would have more joy trying to get the ball wide whenever they can in this second half.

    Their fitness might also be a telling factor when this comes to the crunch, although they have been forced to make a lot of tackles so far.

  11. 'Montpellier have spring in their step'

    HT: Edinburgh 9-7 Montpellier

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer

    The last 15 to 20 minutes Montpellier came back into it. Edinburgh's defence before that was excellent, giving away very few penalties. Montpellier now go into the changing rooms with a spring in their step.

  12. Du Plessis 'shouldn't be on the pitch'

    FT: Edinburgh 9-7 Montpellier

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on BBC Radio Scotland

    That's the joke. Du Plessis shouldn't even be on the pitch and then he turns up and scores the try. People have a go at me for criticizing the referees but he has made a decision that has had a huge influence on this match.

  13. Half-time - Edinburgh 9-7 Montpellier

    Pienaar's kick was the last of the first half.

    A disappointing time to concede a try from a home perspective, which will give Montpellier a spring in their step as they head to the sheds.

    Advantage still with Edinburgh, but that lead is looking a bit more precarious now.

    Converted Try - Edinburgh 9-7 Montpellier

    Jacques Du Plessis

    After lengthy deliberations, TMO Graham Hughes tells JP Doyle he may award the try.

    Ruan Pienaar slots an easy conversion and the visitors are right back in it.

  15. Try review

    Edinburgh 9-0 Montpellier

    Edinburgh concede a penalty and Montpellier take it quickly and launch themselves at the line.

    Did Jacques Du Plessis get the ball down? We'll go to the TMO...

  16. Edinburgh 9-0 Montpellier

    Montpellier showing signs of frustration, hooker Bismarck Du Plessis taking issue with an Edinburgh water-carrier on the touchline who stops him taking a quick line-out temporarily.

    But it's the visitors on the offensive as we approach half-time...

  17. 'That has to be a card'

    Edinburgh 9-0 Montpellier

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on BBC Radio Scotland

    That's a swinging arm. That has to be a yellow card. World Rugby are trying to protect players - that has to be a yellow card minimum.

  18. Penalty - Edinburgh 9-0 Montpellier

    Jaco van der Walt

    Montpellier lock Jacques Du Plessis launches a swinging arm at Edinburgh prop Willem Nel.

    Referee JP Doyle settles for a penalty, which Jaco van der Walt dispatches to extend the lead, but Du Plessis escapes any further punishment.

  19. Missed penalty

    Edinburgh 6-0 Montpellier

    Edinburgh win another scrum penalty, but this time Jaco van der Walt pushes his kick wide of the right post.

    Montpellier withdraw veteran tight-head prop Jannie du Plessis, with Levan Chilachava on in his place. That may have something to do with the succession of penalties stemming from the visitors' set-piece.

  20. Watson 'broken a finger'?

    Edinburgh 6-0 Montpellier

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on BBC Radio Scotland

    It looks as if he's caught his left hand. I wonder if he's dislocated a finger or broken a finger? At this time of the season that's an absolute nightmare
