Ben Muncaster's second try halts remarkable Benetton comeback
Tries from Duhan van der Merwe, Muncaster, Magnus Bradbury 2 & Paul Hill give Edinburgh healthy half-time lead before five Benetton scores after break give visitors hope
Ali Price
Boy did Edinburgh need that.
It's all about Darcy Graham, who comes infield off his wing and darts straight through a hole.
He unselfishly passes to Ali Price who goes over unopposed.
Ross Thompson's flawless kicking record this evening goes up in smoke as the wind batters it wide of the uprights.
Edinburgh 35-19 Benetton

The wind has picked up and is blowing strongly through the Hive and this Benetton revival is sending a chill through the Edinburgh supporters.
The hosts couldn't blow this, could they?
Agustin Creevy
Wow. It's 39-year-old Agustin Creevy again, blasting his way to the line through Marshall Sykes' attempted tackle.
Jacob Umaga bends his conversion on the wind through the posts.
Suddenly the lead is just 16 points.
Edinburgh 35-12 Benetton
Another penalty goes Benetton's way.
Jacob Umaga goes to the corner...
Edinburgh 35-12 Benetton
As soon as I type that, Mosese Tuipluotu plays the ball on the ground and coughs up a penalty.
Benetton kick their way into Edinburgh's 22 again.
Edinburgh 35-12 Benetton
Edinburgh are down the end of the pitch they want to be after those two Benetton tries.
The hosts will just want a spell of possession to take the sting out of the game.
Agustin Creevy
The veteran Argentina hooker scores on his Benetton debut.
It all comes off the back of several strong forward carries, and Edinburgh eventually run out of bodies.
Jacob Umaga adds the extras, and the visitors have their tails up.
Edinburgh 35-5 Benetton
Here come Benetton again.
Edinburgh need a big defensive set to stop some nerves spreading round the Hive.
Paolo Odogwu
They can take advantage.
A floated ball over the top finds Rhyno Smith and the Benetton full-back finds Paolo Odogwu, who has a stroll into the corner.
Jacob Umaga's conversion is just wide.
Edinburgh 35-0 Benetton
Benetton win a penalty at the breakdown and Jacob Umaga kicks the visitors into the Edinburgh 22.
Can they take advantage?
Edinburgh 35-0 Benetton
Away we go again.
HT: Edinburgh 35-0 Benetton
Benetton are back out early.
Even though they aren't at full strength, one suspects they have had a rocket from head coach Marco Bortolami.
HT: Edinburgh 35-0 Benetton
A word for Ross Thompson's kicking on a windy night.
Faultless.

It's been an absolute cruise so far for Edinburgh.
Tries from Duhan van der Merwe, Ben Muncaster, two from Magnus Bradbury and that individual effort from Paul Hill send them in with a 35-point advantage.
Even with the wind, a job well done so far for Sean Everitt's side.

Paul Hill
Edinburgh pinch possession as Ali Price rips the ball from a Benetton ball-carrier, and Paul Hill of all people capitalises.
The home prop shrugs off a tackle before galloping his way to the line - Darcy Graham would be proud.
The officials want to check the Price rip doesn't go forward, but the try stands!
Another successful conversion follows from Ross Thompson.
Edinburgh 28-0 Benetton

Even with his side 28-0 up and coasting, Jamie Ritchie is still ferociously flying into contact, hunting down Benetton ball-carriers and competing furiously at the breakdown.
He was outstanding for Scotland against Australia and has carried on in the same vein here.
Great to see.
Edinburgh 28-0 Benetton
It's a pretty blustery evening in the capital this evening.
Benetton scrum-half Andy Uren launches a box-kick into the night sky that ends up behind him.
Keep it on the floor, son.
Edinburgh 28-0 Benetton
Benetton make their way into Edinburgh territory for the first time tonight, but it comes to nothing.
We're in the 38th minute.
Edinburgh 28-0 Benetton
Nothing doing, Paul Hill definitely didn't ground the ball.
The officials checked potentially illegal strip on the ground, but the decision is just for a goal-line drop-out.
Edinburgh 28-0 Benetton
Edinburgh look to have been held up, but referee Ben Breakspear wants a second look.
