Christian Wade gave Wasps the lead shortly after, before adding his second of the afternoon within six minutes to increase the advantage.

Strettle added his second late on to leave Saracens just a point down with just over 15 minutes still to play, before sprinting for the line two minutes from full time to complete his hat-trick.
