What a tackle from Henry Slade to save a certain try.

Exeter needed that because this is all set up for a Sarries smash-and-grab. How big a moment could that be? Especially in a low-scoring, cagey game.

It's great last-ditch cover defence from Exeter who just about get across to Rotimi Segun and do enough to stop the Saracens wing getting the try.

Segun grounds the ball before the line, then loses possession as he goes over the whitewash so it's no try.

As you were.

Saracens are playing this at their own pace.

Exeter haven't really been able to establish field position.

Penalty Bath. Leicester are penalised for holding on.

The home side have the put in at a scrum around 10 metres from the line and are immediately awarded another penalty, which they kick for the corner.

It's been a little bit scrappy from both sides, but there's been some really good play in these conditions so far.

Sale may have their Champions Cup place in the bag, but it's less clear-cut for Gloucester and Harlequins.

A converted try from Arthur Clark has just brought Gloucester level at 14-14 with bottom side Newcastle Red Bulls.

Harlequins trail 12-7 at home to Prem leaders Northampton.

As it stands, Gloucester qualify, but if they slip up, Quins can pounce.

A great break in midfield from Fergus Burke and Sarries move it wide to winger Rotimi Segun who crosses the line - but does he lose the ball before grounding it?

Alfie Barbeary is penalised for Bath and looks to be hobbling.

James O'Connor slots a penalty comfortably for the Tigers and they're back to within two.

Saracens are flying up in defence and stopping Chiefs making any yards.

They go though multiple phases without getting anywhere and have to put boot to ball.

A Chiefs knock-on then gives the visitors the scrum just inside Exeter territory.

It's as tight out there as the score at half-an-hour suggests.

Less than 30 minutes played here and Sale have the four tries and single point they need to be playing in the Champions Cup next season.

It has looked a guarantee from the moment they scored a try within 90 seconds from George Ford and three more have followed.

That brings up the bonus point that means Harlequins cannot overtake them in the top eight and claim a spot with Europe's elite.

Exeter are causing their own issues here, but the wind has got to be a contributing factor.

Leicester look to play their way out of trouble with the ball currently looking like a bar of soap - really enterprising play from the Tigers backs as a huge gale goes continues to run through the Rec.

Is it really June?

A great kick earns them a 50:20 but James Blamire's line-out is too long and Bath kick clear.

We're watching the rain come down here and it's moving around in every direction at the same time.

It's swirling around, it's terrible to have to play in and I wouldn't be surprised if we see more contestable kicks further on in this first half.

Harvey Skinner takes a knock there from Ben Earl as the England back rower attacks on the crash ball.

He is up and seems ok to continue but one to keep an eye on.

Josh Iosefa-Scott's turnover gives Chiefs an attacking platform and Len Ikitau is almost away through a gap but is reined in and Saracens win the battle on the floor to regain possession.

England centre Henry Slade makes no mistake from the tee and reduces the gap to two points as we approach the halfway point in the first period.

Saracens are caught offside and that will give Henry Slade the chance to put his side on the scoreboard.

Exeter have the home support and the wind in this first half, but they have made a nervy start, with Skinner's overcooked drop-out giving Sarries the field position for their try and the line-out malfunctioning on a few occasions.

But they still look dangerous with the ball in hand and are growing into the game.

The line-outs have definitely been an issue for Exeter early on here, some mitigation of course because of the weather but it's an area they need to improve on as it is killing their momentum at present.
