41'We're back underway at Allianz Park. Can Saracens find a way back into this contest?

8'Clermont's turn to threaten the try line as Wesley Fofana goes close, but the hosts hold firm and he loses the ball in contact.
5'Despite the freezing conditions the game has started at a bruiaing intensity with each side losing a player in the opening exchanges. The fans who have brave the trip to north London are doing their best to create an atmosphere too.
3'Will Skelton and Mako Vunipola take Saracens deep into the Clermont 22 but just as it looks as though the try line might be begging the latter loses control of the ball.

1'Hello and welcome to live coverage of the postponed Champions Cup clash between Saracens and Clermont at Allianz Park.

The fallout following yesterday's postponement has been quite intense with the Top 14 side accusing their hosts and the local council in north London of "incompetence". Conditions might be cold but the contest should be heated.
1'0-0 Start of first half
