An uneventful first half saw Saracens in control at the scrum and the lineout while Wasps kept on top in the loose, as they successfully targeted young fly-half Owen Farrell.
But the game burst into life after the break with a try from Saracens' replacement flanker Andy Saull and almost the perfect return to rugby for debutant Gavin Henson.
Farrell set the tone for the opening period when he sent a 38-metre penalty attempt wide of the uprights after just two minutes.
And nine minutes later the young fly-half missed a drop goal attempt following a period of sustained pressure inside the Wasps 22.
Another ten minutes brought another missed kick, this time though, it was Farrell's opposite number, Dave Walder, who hooked a relatively straightforward penalty wide from almost in front of the uprights.
