    • - Thanks for joining me; make sure you stick with us for all the reports and reaction from the weekend's action.
    • 80 There it is! The full-time whistle goes, with Sale well in front thanks to the boot of Hodgson, who slots over five penalties and a conversion in a solid display
    • 60 HODGSON is kicking Sale to a huge home victory here...he slots another penalty over to extend the lead to 16 points...
    • 50 Things aren't getting any easier for the visitors afetr the break...another piece of indiscipline around the ruck results in another penalty - and HODGSON has certainly brought his kicking boots this evening...
    • 39 TRY! Ripol goes over just before the break, Hodgson converts, and Sale are in the driving seat at the interval. Leaders Bath are under real pressure here.
    • 36 After a long wait, HODGSON slots over a third penalty for Sale to extend their lead back up to six points.
    • 22 The conditions are making things pretty difficult here; it's going to be an attritional battle.
    • 13 The referee allows a long, long advantage to Bath...Sale look aggreived they didn't win the line-out after a good 30 seconds...Berne kicking at the sticks, 20 metres in from the right touchline...got it. First points on the board for Bath.
    • 10 Berne takes on a long, long kick from the middle of the centre-circle...just short.
    • 8 A high kick from Hodgson puts Bath under further pressure, resulting in a second Sale penalty...the former England fly-half calls for the T on the 22, about 15 metres in from touch...straight through the middle
    • 5 HODGSON slots over a penalty from distance...no easy task with the playing surface so slippy. Sale lead after a penalty from a scrummage.
    • 4 Steve Borthwick is down after landing heavily at a line-out; after some treatment, he's back on his feet.
    • 1 The players are out on the pitch, it's still raining, but we're underway...
    • 0 After a pitch inspection following some heavy rain, I can tell you that the game will go ahead...
