    It's not sticking.

    They are trying everything, they are throwing everything at it but the final pass, the execution - it's just not sticking for Leeds.

    Another Leeds attack comes to nothing as Caitlin Casey's pass hits team-mate Shona Hoyle on the shoulder.

    Head coach Lois Forssell can only look on in frustration from the coaches' box.

    For St Helens, it is now all about completing their sets and solid defence - basically copy and paste of what has gone before.

    They are looking so disciplined in both phases of the game.

    I don't believe Leeds think they can win.

    This St Helens side has squeezed the life out of them.

    Another Leeds attack is smothered by excellent Saints defence and the ball is handed over.

    The clock is really starting to tick towards a St Helens success.

    Amy Hardcastle is trying to turn this game on her own. She's getting in there, she's trying to make that difference but she needs support.

    It's a team game, the team needs to get involved.

    It's not individuals who can win finals, it's when your team is functioning as a whole.

    We are entering the final quarter of this game.

    Leeds need to score three converted tries in less than 20 minutes. They have not scored a single point in the previous 60.

    St Helens are awarded a penalty as Chantelle Crowl has the ball stolen off her by Shona Hoyle.

    The Rhinos player is not convinced - it's only adding to the sense that this is not going to be their day.

    What a tackle that was!

    That was a try-saver.

    Lucy Murray just comes in and absolutely stops Jodie Cunningham dead.

    Lucy Murray comes up with a heroic try-saving tackle on Saints skipper Jodie Cunningham. Terrific stuff from the Rhinos forward as Cunningham fancied powering over.

    If she had crossed, that was absolutely game over from a Leeds perspective.

    A brilliant burst from Lucy Murray gets Leeds 30 or 40 yards down the field.

    But Caitlin Casey opts to kick on the second tackle and St Helens regain possession.

    That is poor stuff from the Leeds scrum-half.

    Saints are on it.

    They are not easing off, they are putting pressure on.

    I think the word is 'relentless' in everything they are doing at the minute.

    Sensational catch under pressure from Saints wing Leah Burke. Just when Leeds were hoping for a slight chink in the armour.

    What's that old saying about defence winning championships?

    I think the experienced players - Harris, Gaskin and Cunningham - have been sensational for St Helens.

    Their experience has shone through brightly in this final.

    Lovely conversion from Faye Gaskin stretches that lead even further.

    This is starting to turn into a mountain for Leeds Rhinos to climb.

    Try given.

    Luci McColm does indeed cross for St Helens' third try.

    Saints get a repeat set in the final third and they really make it count, working from right to left for centre McColm to power through.

    Luci McColm looks to have crossed for St Helens. But we are going upstairs.

    More good work from Saints as they force another turnover. Olivia Whitehead knocks on and Leeds again lose momentum.

    The cup holders showed in that first period they don't need a second invitation to take advantage.

    The pleasing sight of Beri Salihi returns to the field after that high shot towards the end of the first half as she passes her HIA.

    Not such good news for Caitlin Beevers as the claret is pouring from just above her eyebrow following an accidental knock in a tackle.

    The bandage is being wrapped around her head and Beevers is going all Terry Butcher for the remainder of this game.

    The Rhinos; they need a spark, whether it's an off-load or a half-break.

    Just something to inspire them because St Helens are looking so dominant at this moment in time.
