All the Quins coaches are staying pitchside for extra time having watched the first 80 minutes up in the gods.
Bristol 31-31 Harlequins
Lots and lots of kicking tennis to begin this first period.
First time we've seen it all match but you can't blame them as there must be some tired lungs out there!
Bristol 31-31 Harlequins
If we're still level after these two periods of extra time, we could have a kicking competition.
More on that if we need it to come...
Bristol 31-31 Harlequins
Let's go again then...
10 minutes each way of extra time.
FT: Bristol 31-31 Harlequins

Ben: This is why rugby is and always will be THE optimum sport - what a game!!
Bristol 31-31 Harlequins
But the ball is spilled by Quins in contact as they approach the 22-metre line!
Agony all round on all the faces and we're going to extra time!
10 minutes each way still to come (plus more maybe) to decide which of these sides two sides are off to Twickenham!
Bristol 31-31 Harlequins
Clock in the red now but Quins still going for a score.....
Bristol 31-31 Harlequins
Quins intercept the ball as Harry Thacker spills one but Danny Care chooses to thump it clear instead with his boot.
Bristol 31-31 Harlequins
Bristol still in possession in the Quins half as we move into last 30 seconds.
Bristol 31-31 Harlequins
Bristol with a rolling maul from that line-out pushing deeper into Quins territory....
Bristol 31-31 Harlequins
Quins exit from the restart and Danny Care's box kick finds touch just short of the halfway line.
Bristol 31-31 Harlequins
Extra time anyone?!
Joe Marchant, con Marcus Smith
MY WORD!
Quins do find that score they needed from the next attack.
Joe Marchant is one of the quickest in the Premiership and once Tyrone Green set him free on the left, there is no stopping him.
Marcus Smith with the conversion and we are all-square at 31-31!
Bristol 31-24 Harlequins
Penalty to Quins inside their 22 after Bristol hold on to the ball.
Callum Sheedy shaped initially to try a drop goal and then threw a dummy to run into space before Joe Marler stopped him comprehensively in his tracks.
Quins kick upfield and will look to go again...
FIVE MINUTES TO PLAY!
Bristol 31-24 Harlequins
Bristol's turn to go at it now and try and find the score to seal this semi-final.
Quins for the first time in a long time finding themselves without the ball and at the wrong end of the pitch.
Bristol 31-24 Harlequins
Luke Northmore is almost clear and away down the left wing for Quins but loses his footing on the 22-metre line and the chance goes begging for the visitors.
But still the ball stays in play. Nobody wants to kick it out and draw breath!
Bristol 31-24 Harlequins
No it isn't and Bristol fans are so relieved that that's the loudest noise of the afternoon inside Ashton Gate!
Tyrone Green's offload to Lynagh is adjudged to have just gone forward before the winger raced over.
Bristol 31-24 Harlequins
Are Quins over again and is this another try for Louis Lynagh?
Hint of a forward pass again though....
Bristol 31-24 Harlequins
So close for Quins and Alex Dombrandt!
He almost creeps over for a try to bring it within two points.
But Callum Sheedy forces him out of touch on the cover.
It was advantage though and once more Quins kick to touch...
