Leicester arrived at the Parc Y Scarlets having made one change to their squad with Scottish scrum-half Scott Steele replacing Sam Harrison on the bench.

6 min: PENALTY (3-0) After dominating early possession, Scarlets take the lead through fly-half Owen Williams.

11 min: TRY (3-5) On their first serious attack of the game, Tigers turn down a chance to kick for goal and set up a five-metre line-out. George Chuter throws short to Harry Wells and Leicester begin an unstoppable driving maul which sees Thomas Waldrom dive over for the opening try.

14 min: PENALTY (6-5) Williams puts the Scarlets back ahead.

18 min: PENALTY (9-5) Williams extends the lead to four points.

21 min: PENALTY (12-5) Williams maintains his good form with the boot.

27 min: YELLOW CARD After having a team warning by referee Greg Garner, hooker Emyr Phillips is sent to the sin-bin for a ruck offence and Llanelli are down to 14 men.

29 min: YELLOW CARD Matt Cornwell's long pass to a two-man overlap is slapped forward by Andy Fenby and he is also yellow-carded by the referee.

30 min: PENALTY TRY (12-12) Tigers take full advantage and, when the Scarlets collapse a five-metre scrum, Garner awards a penalty try and Cornwell ties it up.

34 min: PENALTY (15-12) Scarlets go back in front despite being two men down with Williams' fifth penalty.

40 min: TRY (15-19) Niki Goneva makes a nice break and seven phases later, Dan Bowden's long pass makes the most of a two-man overlap and Andy Forsyth dives over. Cornwell nails a touchline conversion.

43 min: PENALTY (18-19) Tigers suffer a rare penalty against them at the scrum and Williams drags the gap back to just a point.

59 min: PENALTY (21-19) Fraser Balmain is pinged and spoken to by the referee for popping up in the scrum for a second time. Williams strokes over his seventh penalty.

61 min: YELLOW CARD Tigers Rob Andrew is sent to the bin for pulling down a line-out jumper.

64 min: YELLOW CARD Balmain is yellow carded and gives away another penalty.

70 min: TRY (28-19) Aled Thomas grabs loose ball, feeds Fenby and he runs off down the touchline for the hosts' first try. Thomas converts.

76 min: TRY (35-19) A lovely side-step by Gareth Owen in midfield and he skips through Leicester's midfield to run in untouched. Thomas converts.

78 mins: TRY (40-19) Nic Reynolds keeps a grubber kick infield, which Geordy Murphy thought had gone into touch, and dives over the line.
