Lane bursts and fends his way down the touchline and finds support on his inside to put the visitors on the front foot. Good to see the Lane Train back in full flight. 15-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Hallam Amos makes a stunning break down the midfield, splitting the defence open, but just can't release his pass inside to Hill and is tackled by the final defender, who wins a penalty from the breakdown. 15-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Pea. Soup. 15-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Owen Lane makes a dart down the nearest touchline and... yup, the ball has gone out of vision again. #insight

Despite the narrow angle, Tovey's penalty brings us to the Edinburgh 22 for a line-out. 10-0 #GuinnessPRO14

James Ratti with a brilliant charge down on Pyrgos which looks to have lifted the Cardiff Blues camp. They will look to put pressure on the hosts' throw inside the 22. 10-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Good play from Amos who takes Chamberlain's kick and manages to find ground and touch just outside the Edinburgh 22. 10-0 #GuinnessPRO14

31

Tovey strikes the uprights and Edinburgh clear their lines. 10-0 #GuinnessPRO14

30

First real attacking opportunity, with the likes of Owen Lane carrying hard, results in a Cardiff Blues penalty. Tovey will take a shot at goal. 10-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Great take from Amos under the high ball. Jones looks to catch the defence out with a chip behind but Farndale collects and calls for the mark. 10-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Try (Opp.)

After multiple phases on the Cardiff Blues try line, the hosts power over for a try through prop Lee-Roy Atalifo. Chamberlain converts. 10-0 #GuinnessPRO14

22

Max Llewellyn trucks it up, but the penalty is won a couple of phases later by Edinburgh and Chamberlain hacks downfield to find the open space behind. Lane collects under pressure but the visitors can't exit and are forced to concede another penalty. 3-0 #GuinnessPRO14

20

The home side still in charge of territory and possession here. Olly Robinson comes up with Cardiff Blues' third turnover of the evening as the visitors looks to have their share of field position. 3-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Replacement

Sam Moore is on to replace Will Boyde, who heads in for a HIA 3-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Edinburgh looking to build some stream in attack, but Arhip and Turnbull combine well to slow some of their momentum. Boyde eventually comes up trumps with the turnover, allowing Tovey to clear. 3-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Summerhill gathers Jones' box kick, and Tovey looks to expose space in the backfield but it's well covered by Pyrgos. 3-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Brilliant chase from Aled Summerhill from the restart, but Pyrgos still manages to exit and find touch inside the Cardiff Blues half. 3-0 #GuinnessPRO14
