Tom Wood
Ex-Northampton and England flanker on BBC Radio 5 LiveI think Wayne Barnes has boxed himself into a corner where he wants to give a red card but because of what happened in the first half he’s given yellow.
All of a sudden the momentum is with Saracens.

Box kick from Saracens was taken brilliantly at the back by Leicester.
The two sides are exchanging kicks. No-one wants an error now, needs to be note perfect.

Billy Vunipola thunders off the base of the scrum... rattles into the line.
Halted.
However, Wayne Barnes blows for the penalty. Sarries advantage.
Looking at a head knock here.

Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 LiveAndy Christie is quick!
Superb athleticism and reading of the game but he didn’t quite get his confrontation with the full-back right.

Leicester 12-9 Saracens
Brilliant half-break from Andy Christie and Saracens are into the 22. It was pinched in the tackle. Superb.
They're thundering forward. Jamie George has a crack. Held out.
Owen Farrell batters his way in. Stopped.
Clock stopped. Both sides just drawing a breath. Saracens coming strong when it counts.

Saracens worked the ball brilliantly off the scrum and it was a double pump from Owen Farrell in midfield, but the pass to Billy Vunipola boomed off the chest.
Leicester can't finish it off and concede possession.
Nick Tompkins comes off for Duncan Taylor as Sarries launch the line-out and attack.

Leicester 12-9 Saracens
Sarries turn over a Leicester maul. Ben Earl is there again, the cheerleader, the 'Hype Man' as I'm told kids say these days.
If he can scrummage as well as he can celebrate an error, Saracens will benefit. He is that good to be fair.
His work in the loose has been crowded out. Penalty goes Sarries way at the scrum.
Ball banged to touch. Time running out.

Leicester 12-9 Saracens
Wayne Barnes is feeling the frustrations of the Saracens players as they chase the game.
"Don't scream at me," he warns one player. Sarries got the decision by the way.
Kick to touch was fumbled by Freddie Burns and suddenly Sarries are in range. Until they concede a penalty at the line out.
One step forward, two steps back.

Leicester 12-9 Saracens
Billy Vunipola takes a box kick into the Saracens half and the chase just about gets to him, dragging him down like an oak tree after the chainsaw.
It's box-kick for box-kick time. Tired players, tired bodies.
Who will get tired of the process? Tigers have 13 and a bit minutes to keep up the gameplan.
