Tom Willis' late try condemned the Bears to a losing start on the opening day of their 2020/21 Gallagher Premiership campaign.
A trio of Jimmy Gopperth penalties edged Wasps in front after Sam Bedlow had kicked the Bears ahead.
Harry Randall burrowed over for Pat Lam’s men, before Jack Willis' try - given after review - put Wasps back in front.
Skipper Siale Piutau crossed to restore the lead in a dramatic final quarter, but Willis touched down with two minutes left to nick the win.
Re-live all of the action from Saturday's Gallagher Premiership play-off semi-final clash with Wasps, as we dissect the key moments.
9 mins – PEN – 0-3 – Bright start from the Bears who earn a penalty for offside and Bedlow slots long-range kick.
12 mins – CHANCE – Two five-metre lineouts for the Bears go to waste with both are stolen by Cardall.
18 mins – PEN – 3-3 – Wasps pressure inside the Bears 22 and Gopperth levels the scores for the tee.
27 mins – CHANCE – Umaga breaks and feeds Bassett for a clear run to the line, but the pass is forward and it’s a let off for the visitors.
It's never dull, is it? 😰
