Long range effort from Bosch, around seven meters in-field, but it just drifts wide. Chwip o ymdrech gan y cefnwr ond y bel yn hedfan heibio'r pyst. 17-10 #URC

60

We're into the final 20 here at the Arms Park, and there's no score since the restart, but the visitors continue with the pressure. Yr ymwelwyr yn parhau i bwyso ond ni'n ddi-sgor ers yr egwyl gyda'r chwarter olaf i ddod. 17-10 #URC

54

Been under the cosh for these opening 14 minutes of the second half but the Sharks still looking for the breakthrough. Sharp defensive work from Tomos Williams to halt a close range charge, and Halaholo is on it in a flash to win the turnover. 17-10 #URC

53

Huge steal in the corner from Rory Thornton, with Seb Davies picking up the scraps. 17-10 #URC

52

Admirable work from the pack to keep the Sharks at bay here. A turnover eventually comes and Tomos Williams clears. Adams chases and manages to tap back infield, avoiding touch with Williams collecting spectacularly. But the scrum half is penalised for holding on. 17-10 #URC

47

Huge maul defence from a five meter line-out manages to keep Sharks out for the time being. The visitors hammer on the door but a combined hit by Boyde, Priestland and Turnbull manage to hold up the ball and force a turnover. Set amddiffynol enfawr gan Gaerdydd. 17-10 #URC

42

Cell C Sharks with the early pressure but the hosts withstand and Boyde's turnover penalty allows Priestland to find touch in the opposite half. Gwaith Boyde yn helpu'r tim cartref i leddfu'r pwysau cynnar. 17-10 #URC

Half Time

37

Trademark Halaholo side-stepping sees him dancing past three defenders before finding Boyde in support. Davies is next to make the dart but he's isolated and the penalty is conceded at the breakdown. Halaholo yn rhedeg cylchoedd o amgylch yr amddiffynwyr. 17-7 #URC

31

Try (Opp.)

A swift reply from Cell C Sharks as they keep it tight and Thomas du Toit powers over. Bosch converts. Yr ymwelwyr yn ymateb - y prop du Toit yw'r un sy'n gyrru drosodd. 17-7 #URC

Try

First phase from line-out and Halaholo picks out a blinding angle to hit the gap and run in for his side's second! Halaholo yn croesi am ail gais y noson. 17-0 #URC

25

Harries sends it down the throat of Curwin Bosch. The full back fumbles and the chasing Harries hacks through. Jeremy Ward is back to recover but the hard graft of Owen Lane sees the centre bundled into touch in his own 22. Gwaith caled yn talu ar ei ganfed i Lane. 10-0 #URC

20

Replacement

Ellis Jenkins departs the field at the end of the first quarter and is replaced by the returning Shane Lewis-Hughes. Siom i Jenkins, ond Lewis-Hughes ymlaen ar ol dychwelyd o anaf. 10-0 #URC

18

Sharks just about manage a 50:22 and win a penalty from the resulting driving line-out. Springbok Ruan Pienaar's effort is hooked wide. Cyfle cyntaf i'r Sharks fygwth y sgor-fwrdd ond ymdrech Pienaar yn methu... 10-0 #URC

10

Try

The hosts continue in the ascendancy, with Lane threatening in the 13 channel. A loose ball falls to Morgan who skips and slips his way past three defenders and runs in from outside the 22. Cais cyntaf y gem a mae hi'n glasur gan Matthew Morgan. 10-0 #URC

Penalty Goal

No mistake from Priestland to open his, and Cardiff's account for the evening. Tri phwynt o droed y maswr! 3-0 #URC

6

Ball goes through the hands of the backline, putting Adams in space to beat a couple of defenders. He's followed by a charging break by Thornton and the pressure leads to another home penalty. Cic gosb i'r tim cartref ar ôl gwaith da gan Adams a Thornton yn yr ymosod. 0-0

2

Priestland sends it high and the pressure from Adams is enough to face a knock on by Bosch in the air. The Sharks are penalised for offside after playing the scraps and Tomos Williams' quick tap continues the attack and draws another pen. We're in the corner. 0-0 #URC
