Match Commentary

100'That's that, a remarkable game and one which has action all the way. Wasps appeared to be cruising but Bath hit back from 29-0 down to take the match to the wire. If Wasps provide that kind of entertainment every week then they ought to get decent crowds at Coventry
81'29-22 End of half
81'29-22 End of half
81'29-22 End of second half
79'Wasps get possession and run down the clock. Holding on but doing so with ease
77'Substitute on - Tom Lindsay , Wasps
77'Player substituted - Nathan Hughes , Wasps
76'29-22 Penalty goal - George Ford , Bath Rugby
75'Ford kicks a penalty from dead centre on the 10m line to bring them within bonus point range. Bath now have scored 22 unanswered points
75'Substitute on - Ollie Devoto , Bath Rugby
75'Player substituted - Alafoti Fa'osiliva , Bath Rugby
74'Hard to believe Wasps of the last 15 minutes is the same side which shut Bath out so effectively for first hour
74'Substitute on - John Yapp , Wasps
74'Player substituted - Matt Mullan , Wasps
72'Again Semesa Rokoduguni carves embarrassing holes in Wasps defence. It's now Wasps who are wobbling and conceding penalties
72'Substitute on - Rob Miller , Wasps
72'Player substituted - Andy Goode , Wasps
72'Substitute on - Ed Jackson , Wasps
72'Player substituted - Ashley Johnson , Wasps
71'We are told 7397 in the ground today, against an average of 5000. You wonder how many will be there when the teams meet again in Coventry
71'29-19 Conversion - George Ford , Bath Rugby
70'George Ford adds the points from midway to the touchline
70'29-17 Try - David Sisi , Bath Rugby
69'Dave Sisi goes over for his first Premiership try, again the forwards did the hard work, drew in the Wasps defence and that created the space
68'Semesa Rokoduguni bulldozes through about 10 tackles, zig-zagging into the Wasps 22. Bath really piling on the pressure and left wondering what would have been but for that crazy ten minutes where they saw three players yellow carded
66'Substitute on - Sam Jones , Wasps
66'Player substituted - Bradley Davies , Wasps
65'Substitute on - David Sisi , Bath Rugby
65'Player substituted - Guy Mercer , Bath Rugby
64'29-12 Conversion - George Ford , Bath Rugby
64'29-10 Try - Michael Young , Bath Rugby
63'And they deserved that try for some great forward play, grinding Wasps back to their own line, offloaded to Young who drives over the line. They are keen to get back into this as you can tell by the speed the conversion was taken
61'Substitute on - Chris Bell , Wasps
61'Player substituted - Alapati Leiua , Wasps
61'Substitute on - Jake Cooper-Woolley , Wasps
61'Player substituted - Lorenzo Cittadini , Wasps

56'Substitute on - Henry Thomas , Bath Rugby
56'Player substituted - Henry Thomas , Bath Rugby
56'Substitute on - Guy Mercer , Bath Rugby

52'The conversion hit an upright and bounces the wrong way
52'Substitute on - Dominic Day , Bath Rugby
52'Player substituted - Stuart Hooper , Bath Rugby
52'29-5 Try - Jonathan Joseph , Bath Rugby
51'Wasps caught a bit cold from the re-start and Jonathan Joseph goes over in the corner. Bath still up against it but that will wake the home side up
51'29-0 Conversion - Andy Goode , Wasps
50'Easy for Goode. More points likely
50'27-0 Try - Sailosi Tagicakibau , Wasps
49'Bath being shredded now. A great run from Sailosi Tagicakibau who was hauled down yards from the line but his momentum took him over the line. Bath with 12 men simply cannot defend this

49'Player substituted - Rob Webber , Bath Rugby
48'22-0 Conversion - Andy Goode , Wasps
48'Yellow card - Michael Young , Bath Rugby

41'12-0 End of first half
41'12-0 Penalty goal - Elliot Daly , Wasps
40'One half-time change for Bath, Micky Young replacing Chris Cook at scrum-half
40'Elliot Daly hits a penalty from more than 50m out, a monster kick to send Wasps into the break 12-0 up. But Bath are in no way out of this
40'12-0 Start of second half
38'Yellow card - Leroy Houston , Bath Rugby
37'Yellow card for Bath back-row Houston after picking up Simpson off the ball
36'9-0 Penalty goal - Andy Goode , Wasps
24'Another penalty goes against Bath at the scrum, and the ref is having a chat with both captains. It's getting a little tasty out there
22'6-0 Penalty goal - Andy Goode , Wasps
21'Goode again successful from 45m
7'3-0 Penalty goal - Andy Goode , Wasps
6'Goode puts the home side ahead
4'Incredible defence by Wasps to absorb Bath attack on their line. TMO decision shows no try
1'Late news Joe Launchbury ruled out after being in a car accident. He is unhurt. PreviewThis is one of those times what happens on the pitch is almost incidental to what happens off it. Wasps' midweek announcement of the move to Coventry has gone down like a lead balloon with many hardcore fans, and although they may lack quantity they will make their displeasure known. Bath make one change to the side which beat Saracens, Anthony Watson in at wing having featured there in Bath United's victory against Wasps A on Monday night. Dai Young recalls England international James Haskell while Welsh lock Bradley Davies makes his first start for the side after his debut off the bench against Sale last week. Prediction: Bath's only loss has come to leaders Northampton, which oddly has been Wasps' only scalp so far. Bath should edge it but if Wasps focus the energy of the crowd - positive or negative - into the game it will be a ding-dong battle. Bath by a handful
1'0-0 Start of first half
