    "It was a super try, there was a lot of space in the Warrington defence but before we get to the try, Gelling made a back-door pas, Joel Tomkins made a basketball pass off the floor.

    "There were three or four bits of skill from the Wigan players. It's almost Ali Lauitiiti style from Joel Tomkins."

  4. TRY (Manfredi, missed goal Smith)published at 20:37 British Summer Time 16 April 2015

    This is a stunning try.

    Wigan work it to the right hand side, and Anthony Gelling throws it out the back of his hand to Joel Tomkins. He powers forward, and then as he is being brought down, somehow, incredibly throws the ball up for Dom Manfredi to walk his seventh try of the season.

    I mentioned about perfect conditions for running rugby and these two are serving up a cracker.

    Warrington twice go close to their fourth of the night - first Richie Myler makes a break and then Stefan Ratchford slips with the line gaping.

  6. PENALTYpublished at 20:35 British Summer Time 16 April 2015

    Ben Flower knocks the ball on, much to the delight of the visiting fans. Warrington have a couple and then win themselves a penalty and kick to get back in the hosts half.

    "Ben Flower gets a huge roar of approval, it's a tumultuous reception from the Wigan faithful and he also got a welcome from Warrington's Ben Harrison."

  8. TRY (Bridge, missed goal Ratchford)published at 20:29 British Summer Time 16 April 2015

    Just when Wigan seemed to be getting on top, centre Chris Bridge gets his second of the night. Warrington attack the line at pace, but Bridge has a lot of work to do from 10 metres out.

    He rides the challenge of Dan Sarginson and stretches a big right paw out to touch down. Ratchford unable to add another couple of points from the tee.

    Here comes the moment... Ben Flower on for Wigan and he gets a huge roar from the home fans. He immediately gets the ball and Ben Harrison smashes into him.

  10. PENALTYpublished at 20:25 British Summer Time 16 April 2015

    Wigan receive two penalities in a row as the noise levels raise again from the home fans. After a nervy start, Shaun Wane's side are very much on top.

    Guardian rugby league writer Aaron Bower on Twitter:, external "Some game this. Another Wigan break, this time from Burgess, and Ryan Hampshire on hand to race home. Thrilling attacking play."

  12. TRY (Hampshire, goal Smith)published at 20:21 British Summer Time 16 April 2015

    What a game this is turning into. Again the Cherry and Whites break from deep as Joe Burgess turns on the pace to get around the outside and then gives it to the onrushing Ryan Hampshire.

    Matty Smith does the business with the boot and Wigan lead for the first time.

    "George Williams has been picked out a bit here at Wigan for not creating enough - that's answered the critics hasn't it?"

  14. TRY (Farrell, goal Smith)published at 20:20 British Summer Time 16 April 2015

    Stunning long range try, as Wigan score with their first meaningful attack. Brilliant footwork by George Willims to break the line, he fed Joe Burgess who then found Liam Farrell on the inside. Great response.

    We've had 14 minutes and we're up to 14 points, and Matty Smith kicks two more points.

    "Chris Bridge didn't have much room to manoeuvre but he's beaten his man there. Stefan Ratchford and Richie Myler are on the money and Bridge didn't need to reach behind him to take in that pass.

    "You have to put that down to some poor defence, but also good attack. It's brutal strength to squeeze through but Shaun Wane won't be happy with the defence there, it's weak defence from Dan Sarginson."

  16. TRY (Bridge, missed goal Ratchford)published at 20:14 British Summer Time 16 April 2015

    Warrington have picked up where they left off last week in their 80-0 thrashing of Wakefield last week as Chris Bridge goes over.

    Bridge hands off the Wigan defence and with two players trying to bring him down, powers his way over. Ratchford misses his kick this time.

    Things are not going Wigan's way at the moment. Full-back Ryan Hampshire spills a high kick under no pressure and Warrington have an attacking head and feed.

    "They posed problems on the left edge and then put on the right shift, Richie Myler made the killer pass, created the two on one and for me it was Myler who took it to the line and squared it up.

    "Stefan Ratchford made the final pass for Joel Monaghan who hugged his touchline well, but it was Myler who engaged the defence and made Wigan make a decision."

  19. TRY (Monaghan, goal Ratchford)published at 20:10 British Summer Time 16 April 2015

    Warrington have dominated the early possession and they've been rewarded as captain Joel Monaghan crosses out wide.

    Good build up play, Stefan Ratchford drove towards the line and fed Monaghan with a well weighted pass to run in on the right. And Ratchford adds the extras.

  20. PENALTYpublished at 20:09 British Summer Time 16 April 2015

    John Bateman gives away a penalty on the half-way line and Warrington have an excellent attacking position...
