    After a delay for something-or-other, the referee decides no action is needed, and Paddy Jackson kicks a penalty into the corner.

    Big chance for the hosts...

    Some handbags in the middle of the pitch is followed by bellows of laughter from Adam McBurney.

    Something clearly amused the Edinburgh hooker.

    HT: London Irish 7-17 Edinburgh

    This is a sight that Edinburgh will want to see more of in the second half - Magnus Bradbury putting London Irish on the back foot.

    Whenever he does carry, the number eight is making ground.

    London Irish 7-17 Edinburgh

    Paddy Jackson drives a penalty into the corner, and London Irish have a great chance to reduce the deficit before half-time.

    However, there is more fantastic defensive work from Edinburgh's forwards to sack the line-out and ensure that the score remains unchanged as we go in at the break.

    Jaco van der Walt

    Some confusion at the breakdown for Albert Tuisue. The referee clearly called for no hands in the ruck, but the Fijian number eight runs off with the ball.

    Jaco van der Walt is straight into his work, dissecting the posts and stretching Edinburgh's lead.

    Ramiro Moyano was injured in the process of scoring his try - Jaco van der Walt replaces him.

    Blair Kinghorn moves onto the wing, and van der Walt will operate from fly-half.

    Emiliano Boffelli leaps commandingly to win a high ball, and then a superb kick-chase off the back of a Ben Vellacott box-kick wins Edinburgh a penalty.

    After the first 20 minutes, where the visitors were pinned to their own try-line, Edinburgh have really grown into this game.

    Ramiro Moyano

    Edinburgh are in again, as the backs spring into life!

    Blair Kinghorn throws a disguised pass to Ramiro Moyano, who races into space and reaches out to score as the defenders closed in.

    The Argentine winger's acceleration is seriously impressive.

    Boffelli adds the extras.

    Kyle Rowe

    An immediate response, and a brilliant one!

    Off the back of a line-out, Paddy Jackson throws the ball wide, and Lucio Cinti Luna draws his man before putting Kyle Rowe into space down the right wing.

    He doesn't need a second invitation and races away to score.

    Paddy Jackson kicks the conversion from the touchline.

    Adam McBurney

    There it is! Completely against the run of play.

    Edinburgh get quick ball and their forwards make consistent progress over the gain-line, before the ball comes loose and in the chaos Adam McBurney dives over to score the game's first try.

    Emiliano Boffelli adds the extras.

    Blair Kinghorn misses touch, but Kyle Rowe knocks on and Edinburgh have a scrum deep in London Irish's 22.

    This would be more than a smash-and-grab if Edinburgh take the lead here...

    London Irish 0-0 Edinburgh

    Again London Irish attack, and make their way into the Edinburgh 22, but Jamie Ritchie latches onto the ball at the breakdown and wins a much needed penalty.

    It gives the visitors a chance to gain possession, territory, and most importantly to have a breather.

    London Irish 0-0 Edinburgh

    For the third time in this match, London Irish make it to the line only to be held up by Edinburgh.

    This time we will have a goal line drop-out - valiant, desperate defence from the visitors.

    London Irish 0-0 Edinburgh

    I'm amazed that London Irish haven't opened the scoring here!

    There was a two-on-one situation about 5m out, but somehow Emiliano Boffelli intercepted the pass and scrambled the ball clear.

    The hosts attacked again, and an audacious offload from Nick Phipps send the men in green over the line where Rohan Janse van Rensburg was held up.

    Scrum 5m out, and yet another opportunity to open the scoring...

    London Irish 0-0 Edinburgh

    A superb 50-22 from Kyle Rowe puts London Irish straight back on the front foot.

    The winger would dearly love to impress today against his former side.

    London Irish 0-0 Edinburgh

    Albert Tuisue picks-and-goes off the back of the scrum, but in his desperation to get to the try-line makes a double movement, which gives Edinburgh the penalty and a chance to clear.

    London Irish 0-0 Edinburgh

    Quick ball takes London Irish to within touching distance of the Edinburgh line, but good defensive work from the visitors holds them up.

    Irish have a scrum 5m out - the danger is not over yet.

    Now the hosts win a penalty of their own, which Paddy Jackson kicks downfield into the Edinburgh 22.

    A great platform to attack from for Irish...
