BBC Sport's Ged Scott at the DW Stadium: "Even stevens at half-time at the DW and that seems a fair reflection of the first 40 minutes.

"Just like last night, when Warrington were nosed out 18-12 by St George Illawarra, it's two well-matched teams out there serving up a real contest. It's a cold night in Wigan and, incredibly, they've run out of pies in the press room. But this one's keeping everyone warmed up."

The teams are back out on the field and Brisbane Broncos get us going again at the start of the second half.

If you've missed any action during the World Club Series, you can catch up with all of it tomorrow evening on the BBC's Super League Show.

The show will go out across the whole of the UK for the first time on BBC One at 23:40 GMT, featuring highlights from Sunday's game between St Helens and South Sydney and a round-up of last night's and this evening's fixtures.

The programme will then be repeated in its normal slots - on Monday night at 23:45 GMT across the north of England on BBC One, and then on Tuesday on BBC Two at 13:05 GMT. It will also be available on the BBC iPlayer.

Remember, this is the second of three World Club Series matches this weekend. Tomorrow, it's the turn of Super League champions St Helens and NRL winners South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Once again, BBC Sport will be providing a live text commentary of the action from Langtree Park, as well as radio commentary from BBC 5 live sports extra and BBC Radio Merseyside.

And that's not all...

Wigan responded well to Andrew McCullough's early try and eventually levelled through Liam Farrell. It's tough and it's tight at the DW Stadium. Can't wait for the second half to start.

"Although it's level on the scoreboard, Wigan have had more chances. If it was a boxing match I think Wigan would be ahead on points but they have made too many mistakes.

"If they can cut out the mistakes I think there are a lot more points in them and they will go on and win the game."

If free-flowing, expansive rugby league is your thing, this probably isn't the best spectacle for you. However, if you love an intense physical battle between two sets of players who are willing to put their bodies on the line for the cause, you'll absolutely love this one.

Wigan's final set of the first half comes to nothing and we go in at half-time tied at 6-6.

Wigan's defence is rock solid right now. It seems like there are three or four in cherry and white putting their bodies on the line for every hit-up. It may have come at a cost for Tony Clubb, who looks a bit dazed after a clash of heads with an opponent.

Oh no, not again. Matty Bowen gets caught by Corey Parker's flailing high arm and stays down. Penalty to Wigan, but no more. Maybe Parker's been saved as he was about to be replaced. He's off the field now, but Brisbane still have 13 men on the field.

"To me Brisbane are tiring. Wigan have played two Super League games but this is Brisbane's first real hit-out. Wigan should test out Brisbane's fitness."

Brisbane threaten the Wigan line with their latest set of six but that's a wonderful defensive effort by the Warriors to keep the NRL side at bay.

Joel Tomkins and Andrew McCullough are called across by referee Phil Bentham and warned about the lack of discipline that's crept into the play of both sides over the past few minutes. In truth, it's been getting a little bit niggly. Let's see if a stern telling-off does the trick.

Errors are starting to creep into Brisbane's play as James Gavet wastes a good attacking position and then the Broncos give away a penalty at the resulting scrum.

BBC Sport's Ged Scott at the DW Stadium: "After the disappointment of conceding such a soft early try, and twice missing out on likely scores themselves, it had been a quiet first 20 minutes for the Wigan fans.

"The first mass brawl of the night has now helped the atmosphere boil up nicely at the DW - and Liam Farrell's equalising try helps the mood even more, even though referee Phil Bentham went upstairs to check the grounding."

So it wasn't Joel Tomkins, but fellow second-rower Liam Farrell does touch down to bring Wigan back on terms. A slight question about offside and the grounding as Farrell collected a George Williams kick, but there's not enough evidence to rule it out. Matty Smith does the honours with the boot and we're all level.

Wigan think they've scored through Liam Farrell. The video referee will have the final say...

Is Wigan's captain the man to bring them back on terms with the Broncos?

At the halfway point of the first half, there's not much between these two teams. The simmering tension boils over as Dan Sarginson and Josh McGuire are involved in a little set-to.
