    Try Edinburgh 18-6 Glasgowpublished at 45 mins

    Magnus Bradbury

    Edinburgh stretch their lead!

    A lovely training ground move off the back of the scrum sees Chris Dean, Mark Bennett and Darcy Graham combine to take Edinburgh up to the Glasgow line.

    The hosts get quick ball, and some more delicate handling from Chris Dean sends Magnus Bradbury over the line to score.

    Emiliano Boffelli's conversion bounces away off the post.

    Edinburgh 13-6 Glasgow

    Luke Crosbie brushes off one, two, three Glasgow defenders and makes his way into the Glasgow 22.

    Some sloppy handling gifts possession back to Glasgow, but then Ollie Smith inexplicably knocks-on from an Emiliano Boffelli kick.

    43 minutes in and we have the game's first scrum - Peter Wright is delighted on BBC Radio Scotland!

    The players are back out in the capital.

    Who are you backing to win this one?

    Thumbs up if you think Edinburgh will see it out. Thumbs down if you're backing Glasgow to come from behind.

    I thought attacks were getting on top, but we've only had one try. If the forwards get on the front foot, then you'll see the two fly-halves start to play. Both defences are fronting up - it's been a good game. Glasgow's discipline is something Danny Wilson will be talking about.

  6. Half-timepublished at 19:19 British Summer Time 21 May 2022

    Edinburgh 13-6 Glasgow

    Blair Kinghorn strips possession from Jack Dempsey, and Hamish Watson decides enough is enough for the first half, nudging a kick into touch.

    It's not been a classic so far, but Edinburgh just about deserve their lead at the break.

    Emiliano Boffelli

    That will frustrate Glasgow - they concede a kickable penalty right after cutting the gap.

    Emiliano Boffelli, who was down injured, dusts himself down and splits the posts.

    Ross Thompson

    Glasgow's pressure results in a penalty, and Ross Thompson doesn't miss off the tee from there.

    Edinburgh 10-3 Glasgow

    Glasgow look to hit back straight away, forcing Edinburgh back into their own 22.

    However, Henry Pyrgos, off the bench, box-kicks long downfield and releases some of the pressure.

    That's one for the backs. The maul was dragged down, and from there Edinburgh get three quick phases. Glasgow are compromised defensively, and it's just one missed tackle from Sam Johnson. Kinghorn drives his long legs and reaches over the line.

    Blair Kinghorn

    Edinburgh eventually find a way through!

    Glasgow did well initially to stop an Edinburgh maul, but the home side stay calm and when they get quick ball, Blair Kinghorn brushes off Sam Johnson, and is too strong for Rufus McLean.

    Edinburgh 3-3 Glasgow

    Edinburgh steal possession inside Glasgow's half, and Ben Vellacott stabs a grubber in behind.

    Ross Thompson scrambles back, but finds himself isolated and concedes a penalty - big chance for the hosts.

    A deft kick from Ross Thompson finds touch deep in Edinburgh territory.

    Edinburgh penned in at the moment.

    Edinburgh 3-0 Glasgow

    Glasgow are making steady progress here as their forwards go through the phases.

    The visitors are well inside Edinburgh's 22.

    There's been a real physical intensity to this game so far.

    Neither side giving an inch.

    Edinburgh 0-0 Glasgow

    A nice bit of play from Chris Dean in midfield gets Edinburgh on the front foot, and then Glasgow stray offside as they attempt to rush Blair Kinghorn.

    Emiliano Boffelli calls for his kicking tee once more.

    No they cannot.

    Thomas Gordon does superbly at the breakdown to get over the ball and win a Glasgow penalty.

    Edinburgh have built some momentum, and now have a lineout just 5m out.

    Can the home side take the chance?
