    Is this a try for Leicester to regain the lead?

    Nemani Nadolo thinks he's got there just in time in the left corner....

    Judith Taylor: As a Mancunian I have to say that Leicester must be the sport city of the year with the Tigers, City and Mark Selby.

    Fair point Judith. Been a few sporting celebrations already this year in the East Midlands. Anyone think of other places that can match it?

    Leicester started very quickly but Montpellier showed their class and scored a fantastic try.

    Tigers came back into the game and have the momentum going into the second half.

    They need to start the second half as they finished the first.

    And that is half-time.

    We're all square after that first half with a penalty and a converted try apiece from these two sides.

    Still all to play for.

    Beniot Paillaugue rushes that shot at goal for some reason with 10 seconds still on the clock.

    Leicester escape falling behind again.

    Penalty to Montpellier as Matias Moroni doesn't roll away at the breakdown.

    Concern here too for Kini Murimurivalu as well with what looks like a neck injury.

    Montpellier almost found a way back through Leicester's line after Freddie Stewart made a rash clearance.

    But prop Enzo Forletta knocks on after coming up against Nemani Nadolo.

    Richard Wigglesworth tries to pin more pressure on Montpellier after that try with some testing box kicks.

    That rolling maul was outstanding, the way they stayed on their feet at that pace.

    Then they knocked on the door, they kept knocking on the door and Harry Wells went over with power and determination.

    Tigers are back in the game. Against 14 men they need to take advantage.

    Great persistence by the Leicester pack as they used the man advantage there and kept their patience even after the first couple of attempts to pick-and-go were held short.

    Lock Harry Wells is the man who eventually finds a hole from close range in the Montpellier line.

    George Ford kicks this conversion and we're all square.

    Leicester pump the ball long to the corner and win a couple of line-outs.

    Can they launch something from just outside the 22 to draw level?

  19. Sin-bin: Alexandre Becogneepublished at 30 mins

    Leicester 3-10 Montpellier

    Montpellier reduced to 14 players for the remainder of the first half as Alexandre Becognee collapses a maul.

    He finds himself the victim unfortunately of Andrew Brace pre-warning his team that they were walking a disciplinary tightrope before that incident.

    Alex Lozowski kicks a brilliant right-footed clearance to give his Montpellier players a bit of a territorial breather.

    Forces Leicester back into their own 22.

    More injury worries for Tigers now as Cyle Brink has to head off, Tommy Reffell is on in the back row in his place.
