    Edinburgh 34-21 Bulls

    The Bulls rumble over the line but it's clearly held up. The Bulls had the advantage, and we go back.

    Edinburgh might not be able to hold out forever, but as long as they can keep running the clock down they might be okay.

    Edinburgh 34-21 Bulls

    The Bulls aren't just knocking on the door, they're trying to break it down. Edinburgh are holding strong...

    The ball goes wide, and Wes Goosen and Matt Currie bundle Stravino Jacobs into touch!

    Edinburgh's line-out is poor though, as Rob Carmichael spills the ball. Bulls scrum in the Edinburgh 22m.

    Edinburgh are defending really well here during this period of Bulls pressure.

    I've lost count of the number of times they've held the ball-carrier in the tackle to win the scrum put-in.

    Edinburgh 34-21 Bulls

    Sam Skinner is coming off, with Rob Carmichael on to make his home debut. A baptism of fire for the 22-year-old.

    Edinburgh have the put in, 10 metres from their own line, and they keep hold of it for the moment.

    Edinburgh 34-21 Bulls

    Edinburgh concede the penalty, after knocking on on the edge of their 22m. They just cannot get out of their half.

    Another throw in the corner for the Bulls, the last couple have gone wrong but this one is inch-perfect.

    Yet again though, Edinburgh win the penalty and it's Ben Muncaster at the heart of it. What an impact he's had from the bench.

    Edinburgh 34-21 Bulls

    D'Arcy Rae concedes the penalty at the scrum and sub fly-half Johan Goosen launches the ball, quickly I might add, down to the five-metre line.

    Big moments these.

    And Edinburgh win the penalty! Reinhardt Ludwig lifts and slides behind the jumper. It's a verrrry tight call. This time, it's Edinburgh who get the benefit of the referee's whistle.

    Edinburgh 34-21 Bulls

    The Bulls throw a squint line-out and then concede a free-kick at the scrum because of an early push.

    Talk about letting Edinburgh off the hook - they had them on the five-metre line.

    Edinburgh 34-21 Bulls

    Ben Muncaster is on for Hamish Watson in the Edinburgh back-row. His eyes will be lighting up at the prospect of getting into this dog-fight.

    He's up against Marco van Staden. I'd rather you than me, Ben.

    Edinburgh 34-21 Bulls

    It's getting really scrappy out there. The Bulls are flying into everything, it's as physical as it gets.

    Edinburgh turnover, then the Bulls turnover. The phase goes on for a couple of minutes and everyone is blowing.

    Play stops, the camera pans out, and there's bodies everywhere.

    Ross Thompson

    Again, Edinburgh play it safe and point to the sticks. Thompson pings it through the sticks, the flags go up, and it's a 13-point gap.

    They really, really needed that.

    Edinburgh 31-21 Bulls

    Two loose throws from Dave Cherry but Edinburgh get away with it and they're on the edge of the Bulls 22m.

    They need to do something to change the momentum in this game, if they're not going to get it from the referee.

    James Lang throws a no-look pass that Zak Burger scoops up, but Edinburgh had the advantage. The scrum-half would have gone the distance.

    The first one was a red card, the second one is a yellow. I think they've got both of those decisions wrong.

    He's got away with two.

    Edinburgh 31-21 Bulls

    It's a high tackle, but a penalty only! Jannes Kirsten is a lucky, lucky man. That's now two decisions that have gone his way.

    Pierre Brousset is feeling lenient, clearly.

    Edinburgh 31-21 Bulls

    Grant Gilchrist is into the referee's ear again, and then the TMO is onto Pierre Brousset again.

    Jannes Kirsten, who has just come back on from a yellow card, is upright when he tackles Pierre Schoeman. It does look like another bad one.

    He might be off.

    Edinburgh 31-21 Bulls

    The Bulls kick through and Canan Moodie picks up. He's stopped short by Wes Goosen and then Ali Price's counter-ruck disrupts everything and Edinburgh win the penalty.

    The hosts need to weather this storm. Marco van Staden has come on for the Bulls and he's helping turn the tide towards the South Africans.

    From looking just about home and hosed, Edinburgh are now in a game.

    A bit of nervous energy around Hive Stadium now.

    Cameron Hanekom

    This is the reaction we expected from the Bulls!

    It's one big carry from a scrum as Stravino Jacobs runs over the top of Darcy Graham. Hanekom then charges over from close range.

    The nerves are already jangling and we have another half hour to play.

    Penalty Try Edinburgh 31-14 BULLSpublished at 47 mins

    Ross McCann came in from the side to try and hold Akker van der Merwe up and as a result, he goes to the bin and the Bulls get all seven points.

    Not ideal for Edinburgh, who will want to make the most of the extra man on the pitch while they still have it.

    Edinburgh 31-7 Bulls

    Akker van der Merwe goes over at the back of a Bulls maul, but the grounding is not clear.

    There could be a penalty try and a yellow card coming, though.
