  1. Saracens 0-11 Harlequins

    Quins pressurise again, and an offside call sees them kick to the corner for another lineout right on the line.

    The game pauses while Bryoney Cleall puts a boot back on.

    The adapted laws mean both sides have just taken an extended water break at the mid-point of the half. All the momentum was with Harlequins before that. It will be interesting to see where it goes now.

  3. Saracens 0-11 Harlequins

    They're taking a water break at the moment, and Sarries will need it to gather themselves. The loss of Rachael Burford didn't affect Quins too much in the end.

  4. Saracens 0-11 Harlequins

    It's all Harlequins at the moment, all the calls are going their way and Saracens look incredibly frustrated. But, they've given away nine penalties to two by Harlequins so far,

    Try - Saracens 0-11 Harlequins

    Amy Cokayne

    It's given!

    Quins drove over from a lineout, but the query was whether the players who joined in the drive had done so when it was still classed as a lineout. That wasn't the case, and Amy Cokayne is awarded the try but the cinversion is missed.

  6. Try review - Saracens 0-6 Harlequins

    The ball is down after a maul from a line-out, but the referee is asking for a check.

  7. Replacement

    Saracens 0-6 Harlequins

    Hannah Casey took a knock while being tackled, and is replaced by Rachel Laqeretabua at centre.

    It's been an intense start.

    No mistake again from Tuima as she extends the lead with an easy-as-you-like penalty.

    Oh no. Burford is coming off limping gingerly and has been replaced by Izzy Mayhew.

    Quins came into this final already missing injured England star Jess Breach. Now they've lost their captain too.

  11. Replacement

    Saracens 0-0 Harlequins

    Rachael Burford is helped from the field as she realises the knee in jury is too much for her. The Quins skipper and centre is replaced by Izzy Mayhew.

  12. Saracens 0-3 Harlequins

    Rachael Burford has her left knee strapped up after a lengthy spell of treatment on the pitch, giving the teams a breather after a hectic opening phase.

    It's 35 minutes each way today.

    It feels a bit like Quins should have come away from the first 10 minutes with more than three points.

    Captain Rachael Burford - who created a promising chance with her chargedown - is down injured. They won't want to lose a talismanic figure so early on.

  14. Penalty - Saracens 0-3 Harlequins

    Lagi Tuima

    No mistake from the Quins centre from almost in front of the posts,

  15. Saracens 0-0 Harlequins

    Rachael Burford charges down a Zoe Harrison kick near halfway, and Quins go on the attack. Sarries eventually cave in and give away a penalty in a very kickable area.

  16. Saracens 0-0 Harlequins

    Leanne Riley unleashes a bouncing bomb of a kick towards the corner - but the bounce is against the Quins scrum-half as the ball goes dead.

  17. Saracens 0-0 Harlequins

    That's a good recovery as Marlie Packer claims the throw at the tail of the line-out, before Zoe Harrison gets good distance on a kick to touch.

  18. Saracens 0-0 Harlequins

    More pressure on Zoe Harrison as she sees a kick ahead deflected down by a Quins hand. They move into the 22 and at a penalty they kick to the corner.

    This is both sides' second game since the return of fans and it already feels different.

    There's a palpable excitement in the air at Kingsholm. The players look so fired up. This is going to be good.

  20. Saracens 0-0 Harlequins

    And a nervous start, as Harrison's kick goes straight out, giving Quins a chance at a scrum on halfway.

    They run it, with Chloe Rollie tearing down the right flank but Sarries recover and kick to touch.
