Some wonderful offloads from the home side here but the final pass just can't be held onto. 13-12 #GuinnessPRO14
Huge shift from Navidi, who is replaced by Seb Davies. 13-12 #GuinnessPRO14

Evans' effort from half way strikes the bar and falls short. Very unlucky for the outside half. 10-5 #GuinnessPRO14

Jarrod Evans gets us back underway here, with a change made at loosehead as Rhys Gill comes on. 10-5 #GuinnessPRO14
Only five points in it at the break, as the heavens open up. 10-5 #GuinnessPRO14

Rhodri Williams finds ground behind Josh Adams, but his kick rolls behind the dead ball line. Cardiff Blues scrum inside the Dragons half. 7-0 #GuinnessPRO14

Ben Thomas strips in midfield and gives his side an opportunity to counter. 7-0 #GuinnessPRO14
Smashing hit from Ben Thomas in midfield after a confusion whether the ball went into touch or not. The centre was certainly on his toes! 7-0 #GuinnessPRO14
Hallam Amos with a solid tackle on his opposite number to deny a clear opportunity, and forces a knock on in the process. 7-0 #GuinnessPRO14
Jarrod Evans, who's looked dangerous already this afternoon, breaks the line and finds Lewis-Hughes in support, who shows his power to finish. Evans adds the extras. 7-0 #GuinnessPRO14
Josh Adams with a stunning cover tackle, backed up by the jackal. Tomos spots the gap behind, and the bounce forces Sam Davies to take it into touch. 0-0 #GuinnessPRO14
Dragons with the early pressure here, as they pound on the Cardiff Blues door, but Navidi wins the turnover penalty on his own line to relieve the pressure. 0-0 #GuinnessPRO14
Lane makes an arching run around the back, but is eventually dealt with by Dixon, who turns the ball over. Dragons clear downfield, and Evans jinks past a couple of defenders before knocking on. 0-0 #GuinnessPRO14
Owen Lane deals with the high ball, under pressure from Ashton Hewitt, and wins a penalty as the Dragons wing tackles him in the air.
Josh Adams setting the tone in defence here, as he closes down Talbot-Davies and forces Dragons backwards!
