That's a massive defensive set from the hosts. Edinburgh forced to go for the jugular with a long pass, but it's forward. 27-15 #GuinnessPRO14

Hoyland runs across field and is taken down by Turnbull. The full back gets back on his feet, but referee Owens pulls him back as he was held. Evans' long range effort just drifts to the right of the posts. 20-15 #GuinnessPRO14

Edinburgh's tempo in attack causing problems, with Taylor crossing for his second after instrumental work from Hoyland. Conversion is pushed wide. 20-15 #GuinnessPRO14

Try

Edinburgh fumble and Ben Thomas sense an opportunity to go. He goes wide and to Nipper, who makes yet another break and feeds Summerhill with a stunning, flat pass. The wing is just taken down but offloads to Lee-Lo who finishes. 20-10 #GuinnessPRO14

Plenty of patience from the pack to go through the motions, banging on the Edinburgh door. Liam Belcher is eventually the man to power his way over, with Evans adding the extras. 13-10 #GuinnessPRO14

Huge shift from the pack to win a penalty and a great nudge from Evans takes us into the corner. 6-10 #GuinnessPRO14

48

Wonderful snipe from Lloyd Williams, who makes a clean break, but just can't find the support on his outside. Edinburgh look to take advantage of the broken field, but Harries, Lee-Lo and Turnbull hold up Sau in the tackle and win the scrum turnover. 6-10 #GuinnessPRO14

44

Penalty Goal

Evans adds a penalty as Edinburgh concede a penalty under the shadows of the sticks. 6-10 #GuinnessPRO14

Huge leap from Matthew Morgan to take the high ball, and his work pays off as Edinburgh concede the penalty. A huge driving line-out puts the hosts on the front foot and within meters. 3-10 #GuinnessPRO14

Half Time

Savala's penalty attempt is off target, with the sides heading in for the break with seven point separating them. 3-10 #GuinnessPRO14

Great work from big Josh Turnbull to force a turnover as Edinburgh set-up the driving line-out five meters out. The front row complete the job to win a penalty at the resulting scrum. 3-10 #GuinnessPRO14

Try (Opp.)

Having applied pressure for most of the half, Edinburgh eventually find their way through the home defence as George Taylor touches down. Savala adds the extras. 3-10 #GuinnessPRO14

Edinburgh set up for the driving line-out and as Mike Willemse breaks off, Ellis Jenkins and Dmitri Arhip combine to turn over at a crucial time. 3-3 #GuinnessPRO14

Penalty Goal

We're back level here at Cardiff Arms Park as Jarrod Evans opens his account for the evening. 3-3 #GuinnessPRO14

20

Conversion (Opp.)

Nipper slicing through the Edinburgh defence on a couple of occasions, and looking lightning this evening on the counter, but eventually finds himself isolated and Edinburgh win the penalty. Charlie Savala breaks the deadlock from the tee. 0-3 #GuinnessPRO14

17

Evans strikes the uprights with a penalty attempt, but Lee-Lo is on red alert to pick up the pieces and give the hosts an attacking opportunity here. They go through the phases with good tempo but the ball is eventually knocked on in the tackle. 0-0 #GuinnessPRO14

14

Ellis Jenkins very much getting stuck in with the carries this evening, hitting the ball flat, which eventually creates half a chance for Nipper to break. 0-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Excellent tackle from Jarrod Evans on Hoyland, and somehow Cardiff Blues' Liam Belcher appears with the ball. Williams clears and Arhip wins a breakdown penalty on Edinburgh's attempted counter. 0-0 #GuinnessPRO14

10

First carry for Rey Lee-Lo in the 13 channel, who does well to win some hard yards after an Edinburgh line-out is stolen. However, the ball is knocked on in midfield as Cardiff Blues look to switch play to the right. 0-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Big intensity and pressure from the visitors in the opening 10 minutes, but the hosts keeping them out at the moment. 0-0 #GuinnessPRO14
