Max Malins
All of a sudden it's a third try for Saracens!
It's out of nothing and a little fortunate as Max Malins skilfully kicks in behind and the bounce of the ball fools retreating Clermont winger Bautista Delguy allowing the Saracens winger to dot down.
Owen Farrell miscues the conversion to miss from the tee for the first time today.
We haven't seen much of Clermont as an attacking force but full-back Axel Guillaud shows good attacking intent and forces Saracens to give away a penalty.
Clermont could go for the posts to get on the board but instead stick it into the corner for a line-out.
It turns out to be the wrong call as they lose possession from the throw and Elliot Daly can clear.

Lucio Cinti (con: Farrell)
They make this one count!
And it's Lucio Cinti again.
The Argentina international is showing his team-mates how to finish today as good hands in the Clermont 22 sees the centre stride through some flimsy Clermont challenges to add Saracens' second try.
Clermont have only had 37% possession and 32% territory but they are also only seven points down as Anthime Hemery's time on the naughty chair comes to an end.
Can the French side get something going now with their full complement of players?
After a long check, referee Hollie Davidson signals no try but does issue a yellow card to Clermont flanker Anthime Hemery for some skulduggery on the floor..
An extra man for Sarries now.
But they can't make it count immediately as Clermont earn a penalty and can relieve the pressure valve - for now.
After losing that attacking scrum earlier Saracens get some measure of revenge by winning this one which allows Owen Farrell to kick into Clermont territory.

Lucio Cinti (con: Farrell)
Breakthrough!
Saracens take the lead thanks to Elliot Daly's kick in behind the Clermont defence and it pops up nicely for Lucio Cinti to catch and run in unopposed.
Owen Farrell slots the extras to give Saracens a 7-0 lead.
An interesting start as Sarries get the chance to attack from an early line-out but then Clermont steal the ball and are able to clear upfield through Harry Plummer.
