Jonny May put the visitors ahead once Sharples returned, before Kyle Eastmond put Bath back in front towards the end of the closely-fought opening period.

Gloucester were back down to 14 men early in the second half when Darren Dawidiuk was dismissed for a dangerous tackle on Dave Attwood.

Carl Fearns was shown a yellow card, making the match 14-a-side for 10 minutes, during which May and Biggs each added a try to keep the scores close heading into the final 15 minutes.
