Hello and welcome to our coverage of this United Rugby Championship clash between Edinburgh and the Sharks at the DAM Health Stadium.
1'
Off we go! The game is underway.
5'
TRY, SHARKS, WILLIAMS! 0-5: The Sharks hit Edinburgh on the break after the intercept and Williams goes all the way for the first try of the game!
7'
CONVERSION, SHARKS, BOSCH! 0-7
13'
Edinburgh look to force their way over from the lineout maul but the ball is spilled and the Sharks break again. Fassi kicks ahead and Abrahams races clear, but with the try line at his mercy, he knocks on!
16'
YELLOW CARD, EDINBURGH, GOOSEN! Goosen infringes with the Sharks on the attack and goes to the sin-bin.
19'
TRY, SHARKS, POTGIETER! 0-12: Lovely work from the Sharks of the scrum with Buthelezi coming away starts the pressure. It's ramped up by a lovely piece of skill by Fassi and Potgieter finds the finish!
20'
CONVERSION, SHARKS, BOSCH! 0-14: Great kick from Bosch out wide!
25'
It's vital for Edinburgh that they don't let this scoreline get out of hand early on.
28'
TRY, EDINBURGH, MCBURNEY! 5-14: McBurney receives a lovely offload and goes over for the finish! This game is still very much on and Edinburgh are absolutely still in it!
30'
CONVERSION, EDINBURGH, SAVALA! 7-14: It's 15 men apiece again and the gap between the teams is a converted try.
34'
Fassi goes for the up and under near halfway and Savala spills, allowing the Sharks to keep building pressure.
37'
TRY, EDINBURGH, MCBURNEY! 12-14: After a 50-22, Edinburgh get the drive on and they force their way over with McBurney scoring again!
38'
CONVERSION, EDINBURGH, SAVALA! 14-14: From right near the left touchline, Savala makes the conversion look effortless!
39'
TRY, EDINBURGH, IMMELMAN! 19-14: Tapuai drops the ball and Edinburgh pounce. They move it to Immelman, who dives over in the corner! His 50-22 created the last try and he scores this one in the corner! No conversion from Savala this time, so the score is 19-14.
41'
KICK-OFF! Back underway for the second half.
41'
HALF-TIME: EDINBURGH 19-14 SHARKS. After trailing 14-0 at one point, Edinburgh lead 19-14 at the break in a pulsating fixture.
43'
PENALTY, SHARKS, BOSCH! 19-17: Good start to the second half for the Sharks as Bosch slots a penalty over.
48'
Buthelezi draws the Sharks to the verge of the try line. They look to pick-and-go their way over. Brilliant work from Sykes at the breakdown as he wins a crucial penalty for Edinburgh!
54'
Nche is penalised for coming round the side at the maul and Edinburgh have a fantastic opportunity to pile on the pressure.
60'
Bosch doesn't get enough on that kick so Edinburgh maintain the lead.
60'
The Sharks win a penalty inside their own half and they opt for an improbable shot at posts. Bosch is trying to get this over from around 60 metres out.
62'
TRY, SHARKS, VAN VUUREN! 19-22: The Sharks drive their way over and it's van Vuuren who has got it down! The try stands after a TMO review.
65'
No conversion on that last try. Now, Mchunu dances through the defence and looks certain to go all the way but eventually comes up short. The Sharks are subsequently awarded a penalty for a high tackle and kick for the corner.
67'
YELLOW CARD, SHARKS, SADIE! Sadie goes into the sin-bin for what is deemed to be dangerous play at the ruck.
73'
Edinburgh spill the ball after a lengthy spell of pressure. All of it goes to waste as the clock ticks further!
77'
The clock ticks down further with Edinburgh desperately trying to create one last opportunity.
81'
Edinburgh have a lineout and this may be their last chance.
84'
Edinburgh will have another opportunity as they get a penalty and Immelman boots the ball out in the corner.
88'
FULL-TIME: EDINBURGH 19-22 SHARKS. The ball is knocked on eventually and the Sharks claim the win! Having trailed 19-14 at the break, they forced their way back in front. Fassi was superb for the Sharks today and deserves plaudits.
