FULL-TIME! Bristol Bears 39-38 Saints. Late drama in a match full of it. Gabriel Ibitoye's last-gasp try wins it for the Bears. Saints had far more of the play in the second period, but they couldn't hold out and Bristol take the bonus-point Premiership Rugby Cup win.
Try! Bristol finally break the Saints resistance. Wave after wave of attack on the away line and eventually Bristol move it left for Gabriel Ibitoye to grab the score. Sheedy misses but Bristol win it 39-38.
TRY! Toby Thame would not be stopped. Another rapid riposte from Saints. Bristol splintered and Thame resisted his man to score his third try in the space of two games. Furbank kicks. Bristol 34-38 Saints.
Try! Saints looked like they were resisting well but after all of the bodies got sucked in under the posts, Kieran Marmion finds acres of space to score. Sheedy kicks. Bristol 34-31 Saints.
TRY! There's the absolute class of George Furbank and James Ramm. Great patience from Saints and Furbank creates the opportunity for Ramm, who kept his feet superbly to score. Furbank kicks. Bristol 27-31 Saints.
Saints close again. Incredible hands from James Ramm, who came on at half-time, and Sam Graham on the left, but Hendy is unable to gather and knocks on with the line in sight. Bristol 24-24 Saints.
So close for Saints. Ethan Waller with a superb offload to open the door, but Bristol just manage to get back in the nick of time to make a last-ditch tackle. Bristol 24-24 Saints.
HALF-TIME! Bristol Bears 24-24 Saints. A typically topsy-turvy encounter between these two sides. Saints so sharp in attack with the likes of Tom James and two-try Tommy Freeman showing their class. Try bonus point in the bag for the black, green and gold.
