    Josh Macleod

    Scarlets power over in the corner.

    This game has been played mainly in the forwards, and another strong maul does the trick for the home side, with captain Josh Macleod going over.

    Ioan Lloyd has been flawless off the tee and he nails the conversion from the touchline.

  3. Scarlets 13-12 Edinburgh

    Scarlets kick another penalty to the corner.

    They are back up to their full contingent incidentally.

  4. Scarlets 13-12 Edinburgh

    Edinburgh number eight Tom Dodd is tied up in the tackle and Marnus van der Merwe gets over the ball to win the hosts a penalty.

  5. Kick-off

    Scarlets 13-12 Edinburgh

    Ben Healy kicks high and we are back under way.

    The visitors have made a change at the break. Harry Paterson has been withdrawn as a precaution after sustaining a head knock, with Mosese Tuipulotu on in his place.

  6. HT: Scarlets 13-12 Edinburgh

    Who are you backing to win this one?

    Thumbs up for Scarlets to hold on to their one-point lead. Thumbs down if you fancy Edinburgh to come back and take the win.

  7. HT: Scarlets 13-12 Edinburgh

    Tom Shanklin
    Former Wales international on Premier Sports

    The Vaea Fifita yellow card allowed Edinburgh back into the game.

    Two tries from that point, and Scarlets' indiscipline has been showing.

  8. Half-time

    Scarlets 13-12 Edinburgh

    It's a one-point game at half-time in Llanelli.

    Both sides are going at it hammer and tongs - Scarlets took a 13-point lead, but Edinburgh have fought back well at the end of the half.

    Paddy Harrison

    A powerful maul ends with Paddy Harrison dotting down.

    Great work from the Edinburgh forward pack, who roll forward slowly but surely, and Harrison takes full advantage.

    Ben Healy drags his conversion attempt wide though, so Scarlets hang onto their lead.

  10. Scarlets 13-7 Edinburgh

    Edinburgh were conceding penalties aplenty at the start of this game, but it's Scarlets making the mistakes now while they have a man down.

    Ben Healy kicks a penalty to the corner...

  11. Scarlets 13-7 Edinburgh

    Johnny Williams has just absolutely nailed James Lang in midfield.

    Lang takes the ball at pace, but Williams lines him up and dumps the Edinburgh centre on his backside.

    Perfect technique.

    Sam Skinner

    Edinburgh get themselves on the board.

    A couple of phases takes some home defenders out of action, and Sam Skinner then blasts over from close range.

    Ben Healy slots the conversion.

  13. Sin-bin Vaea Fifita (Scarlets)

    Scarlets 13-0 Edinburgh

    An easy decision for the officials, and it's 14 v 14 for the next few minutes.

    Ben Healy kicks the resulting penalty deep into Scarlets' 22 - this is a big chance.

  14. Scarlets 13-0 Edinburgh

    Vaea Fifita scrags Wes Goosen round the neck with a swinging arm - it's not pretty from the Scarlets number eight.

  15. Scarlets 13-0 Edinburgh

    Edinburgh look for an immediate response, but Boan Venter knocks on with the line beckoning.

    That was a huge defensive effort from Scarlets.

    Marnus van der Merwe

    A dominant maul gives Scarlets the game's opening try.

    Marnus van der Merwe finds his jumper, gets the ball back at the back of the maul and when the backs pile in, it rumbles over the line.

    Ioan Lloyd adds the extras to stretch the hosts' lead further.

    Scarlets 6-0 Edinburgh

    Sam Skinner's ball to Glen Young is deemed to be forward, and the try is chalked off.

  20. try

    Try Scarlets 6-5 Edinburgh

    Ali Price

    The first try of the game goes to the visitors.

    Glen Young gallops into the 22, offloads well to Lewis Wells and the Edinburgh winger has Ali Price on his shoulder in support.

    The officials are just checking whether the pass to Glen Young was forward...
