Half-time whistle goes and what a half it was! Wasps take a slender two point lead into the break but on the basis off the first half this game is still firmly in the balance!

Wasps line-out inside the Sale half with just minutes to go in the first fourty. They will be happy to play out the remainder of the period in Wasps territory.

TRY WASPS. Second try of the game for centre Helu who dots down to regain his side's lead. Lozowski can't convert but his side do lead 19-17.

TRY SALE. Of course Wasps lead only lasts a matter of minutes as second-row Josh Beaumont goes over for his side's second try. Ford converts and once again Sale lead, score is now 17-14.

TRY WASPS. Despite all the pressure coming from Sale, Wasps break from inside their own half and centre William Helu is the one to score. Lozowski converts and they lead 14-10. What an opening 25 minutes.

Sale in great field position, just metres out but they knock on.

TRY SALE. The frantic scoring rate continues as prop Alberto De Marchi finds himself at the end of the overlap to score in the corner for the home team. Ford converts impressively and it's 10-7.

TRY WASPS. Frantic start to the game as Wasps immediately cancel out Ford's penalty and then some with big second-row Will Rowlands crashing over. Alex Lozowski adds the extras, 7-3.

PENALTY SALE. Good start for the home side, winning a penalty after an impressive maul and Joe Ford puts them in front off the tee. 3-0
