    Wigan look dangerous in broken play again when running from deep.

    A long kick from Kevin Sinfield turns the back line but Matty Bowen runs it back with intent before feeding Joe Burgess. After a couple of dancing steps, he gives it to Josh Charnley as they reach the halfway line.

    The Warriors' good work is wasted, though, when Connor Farrell spills the ball forward.

    "Much cooler in the stadium now for the second half. A record crowd of 40,871 has been announced and the majority are still here. Leeds fans arguably the noisier of the two teams currently in action, but much credit goes to the Widnes support who are still here!"

    Their win over Salford seems a long time ago...

    Oh dear Dan Sarginson.

    A brilliant high take from Wigan winger Joe Burgess from a box kick, he feeds Sarginson with the try line gaping and for some reason he knocks on. First sniff of a try from either side in the second half.

    Some crunching hits at the start of the second half.

    The intensity in defence and the power of the tackling was a feature of the first half, and both teams have come out fired up again.

    The attendance confirmed at 40,871 means that the Newcastle leg of Magic Weekend is the highest ever since the format came in nine years ago.

    The previous record was 36,339 set at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium last year.

    Who says that rugby league is just for the M62 corridor?

    Fetuli Talanoa became the day's second hat-trick hero, his first Super League treble giving Hull FC a 46-20 victory over Hull KR in their Magic Weekend derby.

    Kirk Yeaman added a brace for the Black and Whites, while Kieran Dixon and Josh Mantellato crossed twice for the Robins.

    Ex-Bradford coach on BBC Radio Leeds

    "Leeds will be disappointed with their game management, and that is something that will need to be improved.

    "I thought Wigan looked really shocked for a lot of that first half after the first 10 minutes. But Leeds haven't really driven it home and turned the screw on this Wigan side.

    "They have allowed them to come back in it, gain field position and allowed them to play. And now Wigan have their tails up here."

    A topsy-turvy match and you'd think the lead could carry on changing.

    Dan Sarginson's early score gave Wigan advantage on the scoreboard, but Leeds rallied with Adam Cuthbertson and Joel Moon giving them the advantage.

    Long-range scores from youngsters George Williams and Joe Burgess have though given the Warriors a slender two-point advantage.

    It's almost a shame there's only 40 minutes left to play.

  12. Half-timepublished at 19:49 British Summer Time 30 May 2015

    The blue riband game of Saturday is certainly living up to the billing. Wigan's third try of the game on the stroke of half-time has given them the momentum.

    Rugby league journalist Tony Hannan on BBC Radio Manchester: "We were saying we were likely to see something remarkable and that's exactly what we saw. Once Joe Burgess gets up a head of steam, he's very difficult to stop. That's why the NRL want him so badly."

    Winger Burgess is heading to Sydney Roosters at the end of the season.

    This is a classic Wigan try.

    A deep kick is gathered by Matty Bowen who runs over halfway towards the Leeds line, before finding a sprinting Joe Burgess on his left shoulder.

    He bursts through the defensive line, steps around the last defender and strolls in under the posts.

    Great work from Michael McIlorum pressing Leeds in defence and Wigan get the head and feed.

    The Warriors go through a few sets closing in on the try line, before Matty Smith knocks on to relieve the pressure for Leeds.

    "Looks like there is more of Williams out than in. It is really hard to tell. The try has been given and that feels a little cruel on Leeds."

    "George Williams backed himself and Wigan are right back in this."

    Made and finished by George Williams this.

    From 40 metres out, he pushes through some weak tackling and then backs himself in a race to the corner with Zak Hardaker.

    After a long look with the video referee, the try is given, as Hardaker made a brilliant effort to try to drag Williams into touch.

    Golden opportunity for Wigan to score their second try, but they just seem to have lost a clinical touch.

    A powerful run gets Joel Tomkins eight metres from the try line down the right wing, but as the Warriors try to use the ball quickly, they knock on.

    Whatever Joe Burgess can do, so can Zak Hardaker.

    A Wigan kick finds the Leeds full-back deep in his in-goal area and he somehow manages to wriggle around a couple of challenges and place the ball outside the goal area so Leeds have a set of six on their own try line.

    Danny McGuire goes on a surging run over the halfway line, but he knocks on in the tackle just as he is about to pass.
