    That is a hell of a finish from Umaga.

    He steps off his right foot and then the gas to get under the posts.

    But as soon as Wasps think they're gaining some territiory, they concede a penalty at the breakdown as Thomas Young has hands in the ruck.

    Exeter Chiefs 7-3 Wasps

    Penalties being conceded at the scrum by both sides here.

    Exeter the latest to be punished and Alec Hepburn comes in for some scrutiny from the officials for a low elbow hinge.

    He protests his innocence but Wasps have already kicked to touch up to halfway.

    Wasps will be disappointed but they'll regroup.

    Going three up we all thought ok then, we have something here.

    Knock-on from the restart in the air by Exeter from Jack Maunder allows Wasps to regroup.

    What do Lee Blackett's men have now as a reply after a decent first quarter despite conceding that Henry Slade try?

    And you just can't keep Exeter out of the game for too long.

    Wasps lose the ball on the floor around 30 metres out and Exeter spin it wide right in no time.

    Henry Slade from 25 metres out takes on the gap in the Wasps line and sprints clear for the first try.

    Joe Simmonds converts.

    Exeter Chiefs 0-3 Wasps

    Heart-in-mouth moment for Wasps fly-half Jacob Umaga.

    Ball spun back to him in his own in-goal area by Dan Robson and he nearly spills it under pressure from the Exeter pack.

    Just about kicks clear to touch in time.

    Credit to Exeter this is how they play but it's not quite cut and dry so far because of the conditions.

    Exeter Chiefs 0-3 Wasps

    Great response on their own line by the Wasps pack as they disrupt the Exeter maul and win a scrum penalty.

    Slaps on the back all round for those in yellow and black shirts.

    Luke: Feel for Wasps with their loses due to COVID, but its no different than many clubs injury crises' that they have dealt with all season so press need to stop going on about it. Wasps would not swap today for anything and will not use it as an excuse. Sale must be fuming.

    Very odd experience this so far inside a largely empty Twickenham.

    The wind is howling around the stadium knocking all sorts of stuff off tables and chairs.

    The only cheers you hear when a side win a key battle or a turnover comes from the non-playing squad members on the far side or from the replacements.

    Exeter win a scrum just inside their half but then Sam Simmonds makes an uncharacteristic error off the base of the scrum as he kicks out on the full.

    Penalty to Wasps as Jacob Umaga is taken out in the air by Jack Nowell under a high ball.

    Umaga then thumps the penalty to touch into the Exeter 22 but Wasps fail to cling on to their line-out as Jonny Hill steals it for Chiefs.
