    All the ball is Cardiff at the moment, the Dragons are really struggling to move it.

  2. Cardiff 19-12 Dragons

    Cardiff tails are now up.

    They're on the hunt for a bonus-point as the Dragons defence starts to crumble.

  3. Cardiff 19-12 Dragons

    Alex Cuthbert
    Former Wales winger on BBC Radio Wales

    That is such a bad penalty to give away, they've been warned and he's still done it.

  4. Sin-bin

    Cardiff 19-12 Dragons

    Adam Jones did warn Dragons.

    Harri Keddie is shown a yellow card for coming in at the side.

  5. Cardiff 19-12 Cardiff

    A few errors now sneaking into Dragons' game, a Matthew Screech knock-on is followed by wayward lineout.

    To add to that, Adam Jones warns them about their penalty count and the next offender could be sent to the sin bin.

  6. Cardiff 19-12 Dragons

    Mason Grady makes a break and it takes all of five Dragons defenders to haul the giant wing down.

    He's having a fine game.

  7. Prop life

    Cardiff 19-12 Dragons

    What a break from Dragons' South African prop Rob Hunt and he has the audacity to get the offload away as well.

    Unfortunately Ryan Woodman takes his eye off the ball and the attack comes to nothing.

    Alex Cuthbert

    The Dragons defence was all over the shop there, but that was great attacking intent from Cardiff.

    Ben Thomas excellent with the ball in hands, that's a great start for Cardiff.

    Converted try: Cardiff 19-12 Dragons

    Josh Adams, con Callum Sheedy

    Cardiff 19-12 Dragons

    Cardiff have gone up a gear.

    Mason Grady makes the initial break and the ball goes sweetly through the hands and it's a neat finish from Josh Adams on his wing.

    Callum Sheedy converts.

  10. Highlight: Hope's second draws Dragons level

    Cardiff 12-12 Dragons

    Hope gets his second after superb de Beer kick

  11. Close!

    Cardiff 12-12 Dragons

    Cardiff once again turn down a kickable penalty and they are within five metres of the try line.

    Dan Thomas picks up from the base of the ruck, but knocks the ball on over the line.

    He won't want to see that again, his face is covered in blood in fairness.

  12. Cardiff 12-12 Drgons

    Harri Millard has passed his head injury assessment and is back on the field, but it's Cardiff team mate Josh Adams who looks in a bit of discomfort now.

    Maybe just a stinger to the shoulder.

  13. Kick-off

    Cardiff 12-12 Dragons

    Ben Thomas gets us back under way for the second half.

  14. Plenty to play for

    We had a period in the middle of the half where it was a little bit sketchy for the Dragons, and then we saw Cardiff come to life towards the end of the first-half.

    There's still plenty to play for in this game.

  15. Dragons discipline

    Richie Rees
    Former Wales international on Scrum V Live

    The Dragons will need to sort out their penalty count, I think it's seven going into half-time.

    It's something they need to manage because they're giving Callum Sheedy chances to get into their 22.

  16. HT: Cardiff 12-12 Dragons

    Ashton Hewitt
    Former Dragons wing on Scrum V

    The Dragons are keeping themselves in the game, this year we've seen more ball movement from the Dragons.

  17. The half in stats

    HT: Cardiff 12-12 Dragons

    While Cardiff have edged possession (56%) and territory (58%), Dragons are leading the way with metres gained (189) and clean breaks (six).

  18. Highlight: Alex Mann extends Cardiff's lead

    HT: Cardiff 12-12 Dragons

    Mann powers over for Cardiff's second

  19. Half-time: Cardiff 12-12 Dragons

    It is all a level at the break.

    It was an encouraging start from Dragons, but Cardiff have slowly grown into the game.

    Che Hope has crossed twice for the visitors, with Javan Sebastien and Alex Mann responding for Cardiff.

    Time to grab a cuppa.

  20. Cardiff 12-12 Dragons

    Another player enjoying some fine form is Mason Grady.

    He makes a break down the wing as Cardiff enjoy a strong end to the half.
