Ben Healy splits the posts and Edinburgh stretch that lead to a more comfortable margin. They need far more, though.

Meanwhile, Ali Price is off for Ben Vellacott. How can Edinburgh's co-captain help his side here?

Now, Benetton might be in trouble here. Edinburgh finally got rolling again, and the Hive got behind them. The maul went and went until it was brought down.

Mirco Spagnolo has literally just come on. I mean seconds. And he's been sin binned for bringing the maul down.

Brutal.

Grant Gilchrist gets a telling-off from Aimee Barret-Theron. His team have been moaning and moaning, and she's not happy. The next one will be overturned.

Edinburgh have lost all discipline and structure in this half. They need someone to give them a shake.

After an unbelievably scrappy few phases of play, Matt Currie kicks directly into touch and puts his teammates back under pressure.

This has been a disastrous start to the second-half for the hosts. Is it about to get worse?

The second half gets back underway. Can Edinburgh make their dominance count?

Or will this be another that heads to squeaky-bum time?

Benetton have been so good defensively this year. They've stayed in games.

Edinburgh were way ahead, they had all the momentum and Benetton weren't in the game apart from hanging on defensively. But when you have players like Igancio Mendy in your side, it's not a bad strategy to have - just to stay in the game.

The momentum swung right back to Benetton.

It was only ever going to be about one man, wasn't it? Blair Kinghorn scores twice in the first-half to give Edinburgh the advantage over their Italian opposition.

It should be a much larger gap. They've butchered a couple of opportunities and allowed Benetton back into the game with a single breakaway try.

I do think that try was lucky to stand, by the way. Malakai Fekitoa almost decapitates Ben Healy in the build-up.

Ach well, I should know by now. Edinburgh don't like to make things easy.

Ewan Ashman is caught on the wrong side of the ruck and Jacob Umaga will knock it at goal from pretty much right in front of the sticks. It's about 30m from goal, though.

That matters not. A two-point game! A few sliding doors moments in this first-half.

That's brilliant from Edinburgh. Once again they're into the Benetton 22m, and once again they use the hands perfectly to get the ball into corner.

Matt Currie is the man who finishes it brilliantly, sliding under the Benetton tackles to touch down.

Oh. I've spoken too soon. Way, way back in the move, Blair Kinghorn has thrown an uber-forward pass. We'll come all the way back for a scrum.

It looked like the hosts were about to run away with this!

That's just what Edinburgh need to de-stress. From a midfield scrum, the old dog WP Nel wins a penalty.

Meanwhile, Luke Crosbie is back on, he's passed his HIA. Edinburgh in the ascendancy once more...

Another Benneton chance. Brilliant hands from Marco Zanon, Paolo Odogwu, Rhyno Smith and then Michele Lamaro. He powers down the line and tries a speculative offload which Ewan Ashman gathers gratefully.

Edinburgh are under the cosh here. They need to try and relieve this pressure somehow and stop this Benetton momentum.

Edinburgh let Benetton into their own 22m again, and they kick to the corner. But Glen Young steals the throw!

Brilliant from the former Jed Forest man. Speaking of, he's wearing their socks tonight. It's club appreciation night down at the Hive, so every Edinburgh player is wearing the socks of the club, or clubs, that they came through or are assigned to.

Nice touch.

This is better from Benetton. They're into Edinburgh's 22m for the first time and they're looking dangerous.

Jacob Umaga spots a gap and delays his pass, popping it to Malakai Fekitoa who is convinced he got the ball down. However, the way the ball bounced away from the former All Black looks like it won't be awarded.

Hmmm. The replay is inconclusive for me. Chris Paterson on comms says he would give it.

The TMO says he's not in control - it's a knock on. Huge let-off for Edinburgh.

Tom Dodd is on for Luke Crosbie, who appears to be off for an HIA. Which begs the question, why is Andy Uren still on the pitch? And why was that tackle not looked at?

Ach, a miscommunication and James Lang ends up crossing in front of the runner.

Benetton spill the ball again, and Edinburgh come forward. Blair Kinghorn spins wide to James Lang who grubbers forward. Duhan van der Merwe was outside him!

But wait! Rhyno Smith butchers his clearance and the ball rolls towards touch. Lang dives for the ball and touches down, but it looks out.

The try is given initially by referee Aimee Barrett-Thomas, but she soon rules it out.
