I think we're seeing signs of Saracens tiring a little.

There are these little moments which are absolutely falling the Saints' way.

If they didn't then I think we'd be in trouble.

Juarno Augustus has really come into this game. He's been quite in the first half but the game has come to him.

Owen Farrell tries another grubber, this time on halfway, it ricochets back and Saints win the scrum with the ball unplayable.

And a big heave wins yet another penalty for Northampton.

This time there is no error from Fin Smith and Saints edge further ahead once more.

What a game!

Off goes Alex Mitchell in midfield through a hole.

Saints to 10 yards out.

Saracens holding them well but then Tom Willis goes off his feet as the ball creeps out of the ruck!

Saracens are going for it now.

Whether or on they've picked this team partly on sentiment with the older lads starting the game.

Alex Lewington with a brilliant finish in the corner. He made a bit of a mistake last time out at home against Sale but he's redeemed himself. Great rugby by Saracens to get themselves back in this match.

Is Alex Mitchell in the left corner?

Mitchell starts the move with a lovely inside pass, then gets it back to sprint towards the try line.

But a miraculous cover tackle from Juan Martin Gonzalez has dragged his foot into touch!

What a moment that could be.

Fin Smith drags one wide.

His first blink of the night.

And Alex Waller is replaced and walks off to a tremendous ovation.

Alex Mitchell forced to box kick and Elliot Daly takes it to launch an attack on the opposite wing.

The Saints attack is really flowing, they're finding space. Fin Smith and George Furbank are working really well together.

We haven't seen enough of Tommy Freeman this evening so far for me. He's been so good for Saints this year, so good on the ball but I'd really like him to get a bit more involved.

It just feels like Saints are getting held back and it's a matter if time before they do get some more points on the board.

Fin Smith and then Alex Mitchell almost find a way through before Maro Itoje comes up with a huge hit to stop the momentum.

A kick to the left corner is fielded by Elliot Daly and as they try to run it out they win a penalty on the floor.
