    All the Quins coaches are staying pitchside for extra time having watched the first 80 minutes up in the gods.

    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!

    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...

    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!

    Clock in the red now but Quins still going for a score.....

    Quins intercept the ball as Harry Thacker spills one but Danny Care chooses to thump it clear instead with his boot.

    Bristol still in possession in the Quins half as we move into last 30 seconds.

    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.

    Joe Marchant, con Marcus Smith

    Joe Marchant tryImage source, Rex Features

    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!

    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....

  20. Postpublished at 68 mins

    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...
