51'Player substituted - Jack Yeandle , Exeter Chiefs
51'Substitute on - Chris Whitehead , Exeter Chiefs
44'19-6 Penalty goal - Gareth Steenson , Exeter Chiefs

41'+119-3 End of first half
40'Evans, who has struggled with the boot in the first-half, adds the extras
40'19-3 Start of second half
40'17-3 Try - Mike Brown , Harlequins
39'Third Harlequins try on the stroke of half-time. Dave Ward forces the turnover and Danny Care sprints free to put Mike Brown over for the easiest of tries
33'Substitute on - Will Chudley , Exeter Chiefs
33'Player substituted - Haydn Thomas , Exeter Chiefs
32'Yellow card - Jack Nowell , Exeter Chiefs
32'12-3 Try - Charlie Walker , Harlequins
31'Fantastic try from Harlequins as the forwards start it and the floppy blonde haired winger Charlie Walker finishes it
22'Big chance for Harlequins is missed as Mike Brown has options either side who have clear walk-ins for a try, but he backs himself and is tackled
18'Poor miss from Nick Evans who slices a penalty wide of the left upright. But regardless of that error, both teams are playing at a high tempo and seem keen to spread the ball around - really entertaining match
10'Set piece move from Harlequins nearly comes off as the lineout is thrown over the top for Danny Care to snuffle up. Sam Smith runs on to it and charges near the Exeter line with Molenaar his able lieutenant. It comes to nothing in the end, but a lovely piece of tactical rugby
8'7-3 Penalty goal - Gareth Steenson , Exeter Chiefs
7'Steenson gets his first three points after Hopper is penalised for an illegal tackle - perhaps lucky to avoid a yellow card
4'7-0 Conversion - Nick Evans , Harlequins
3'Evans is in his element at Twickenham - slots the extras.
3'5-0 Try - Nick Evans , Harlequins
2'Exeter have had all the ball but in the blink of an eye, Harlequins turn the ball over and with the pill going through the hands, Nick Evans is the man who grabs the try
1'Harlequins have announced the team to play Exeter Chiefs tomorrow during Big Game 6 at Twickenham Stadium in Round 11 of the Aviva Premiership (kick-off 4:00pm).

Tickets are still available and can be purchased through Ticketmaster until 11:00am tomorrow morning. The Harlequins ticket office will be taking calls from 9.30am until 12.00pm tomorrow. A walk up will also be available on the day from the RFU's ticket office in the South Stand between 12.00pm and 4.00pm.
