    Try - Bath 8-22 Racing 92published at 51 mins

    Henry Arundell

    There didn't look to be enough room on Racing's right flank for the England winger to squeeze in, but there was - after the ball skims through three pairs of hands he races in from the 22.

    Hang on - forward pass?

    Bath 8-17 Racing 92

    Bath get a penalty deep in their own half, but the kick doesn't find touch and allows Max Spring the chance to run and then kick Bath back into their own 22. It's all a bit scrappy for the home side right now.

    It's gone a bit quiet at the Rec with the hosts needing two scores.

    Ollie Lawrence is penalised for obstruction on halfway as Racing attack. The French side then kick for touch to apply even more pressure.

    Kitione Kamikamica (Con: Nolan Le Garrec)

    Racing had moved upfield gradually, then Antoine Gibert kicked to the left and found his number eight in acres of space. All he had to do was trot over the line and flop down for a simple score.

    Bath improved as that half went on, but have they got enough in the tank to take control?

    Bath 8-10 Racing 92

    Bath get away with one deep into the red zone, as Racing's Henry Chavancy intercepts in his own half and races downfield.

    The centre feeds Henry Arundell but his kick over the top is hacked off the pitch by Tom de Glanville to bring a breathless first half to an end.

    There's a hitch-kick from Gael Fickou as he gets past Ollie Lawrence on the left flank. Lawrence gets back to make amends after missing his first tackle to frustrate Fickou.

    Thomas du Toit

    Thoroughly deserved try for the hosts as Thomas du Toit barges over from short range after Racing go down to 14 men.

    Ben Spencer cannot get the tough conversion from just inside the touchline but Bath are now right back in this!

    Lock Will Rowlands illegally ends another flowing Bath move, coming from the side, near the corner but Bath are getting near here...

    Bath 3-10 Racing 92

    Another superb Bath move sees Joe Cokanasiga slice through the middle off the right wing, but with men outside him he goes back inside and Siya Kolisi and Kitione Kamikamica snuff it out.

    Incisive runs from Alfie Barbeary and sub Sam Harris help Bath mount their best attack so far, which is stopped short of the line near touch on the right after the move slows down enough to see Racing get back in defence.

    Bath 3-10 Racing 92

    Racing go to the right, but there's a crunching tackle from Finn Russell on Kitione Kamikamica to see the ball spill loose. The fly half was giving away quite a bit in weight, but you'd never know from that effort.

    Tom de Glanville catches and kicks to touch from deep in the 22, but it scraped Finn Russell's hand on the way to him so Racing get the scrum.

    Bath 3-10 Racing 92

    Bath make a spirited response with Joe Cokanasiga slicing across the field after taking a kick almost on the far touchline. Racing are then caught offside, but Ben Spencer cannot land the penalty from to the left of the posts.

    Nolann Le Garrec (Con: Le Garrec)

    Racing shift the ball to the left from a lineout, then Siya Kolisi brilliantly flips it to Max Spring who seems destined to plunge over the line.

    Ben Spencer somehow stops him but the ball finds it way to Nolann Le Garrec, who dives through a mass of bodies for the first try of the day.

    Bath 3-3 Racing 92

    Good work from the Bath scrum, forcing Racing prop Hassane Kolingar into a mistake that gives the hosts the chance to kick clear.

    Racing have nothing much to show for the 10 minutes with a man more than Bath.

    Nolann Le Garrec spies a huge gap at a lineout, collecting the throw and bursting through until brought down short of the line. Bath get the scrum, but it's 10 metres out in front of the posts.

    Ben Spencer

    No problems for the Bath number nine, clipping it between the posts from just to the right of the posts with his left foot.
