    Wakefield receive a goal-line drop-out after Jordan Tansey fails to deal with a kick from Tim Smith.

    Castleford's Jordan Tansey too eager with the try line in sight and as he tried to pull himself up to meet a pass he slips and the attack comes to nothing.

    Controlled early exchanges in the second half, but both Castleford and Wakefield attacks lack real bite.

    Adam Milner tried to force a pass out the back of a tackle when the Tigers were in good position and a kick from Pita Godinet was easily collected by Castleford's defence.

    And Castleford get the last half of action under way with a long kick into Wakefield territory.

    How much heart can Brian Smith take from that first-half showing?

    Yes, Super League's bottom side were exposed too easily and too often, but they have recovered to show genuine fight. And, of course, there is the superb talent of Tom Johnstone to smile about.

    "If two quick tries go in, even the neutrals think twice about hanging around and consider getting back on the A1. But Wakefield have come back and shown that they can play in spells."

    Wakefield went three quick tries down, but have recovered here at St James Park and go into the break just six points down.

    Tom Johnston has grabbed a brace for the Wildcats after Denny Solomona had bagged two of his own early on.

    Typical of that first half there was the threat of a try right to the last.

    Denny Solomona with a fabulous great down the wing, but the play peters out with the siren sounding and possession relinquished.

    "Wakefield hit back. Quick hands and numbers give Tom Johnstone his second try, and the Wildcats just will not go away."

    No try.

    On his tip toes, Denny Solomona dances down the touchline and does everything in his power to get over the line. The pressure from Tom Johnstone is just enough to deny him what would have been a fine treble.

    There's still plenty of time for him to complete a hat-trick today, though.

    Denny Solomona to complete his hat-trick?

    After pinning Wakefield back on their line, Castleford move the ball patiently before moving the ball out wide quickly to find Michael Shenton. He still had all the work to do as he palmed off the attention of Tom Johnstone before crossing over.

    Castleford's Jake Webster is getting some medical attention after he seems to catch the shoulder of Matt Ryan in a tackle.

    He is rattled, but is passed clear to remain on the pitch.

    After some positive early reports, it now also seems that the day is done for Castleford hooker Scott Moore after he also went off with a bloodied head in his clash with Scott Anderson.

    Warrington head coach Tony Smith could not hide his frustration when speaking to the press after his side's narrow defeat by St Helens, even when asked about his brother Brian taking over at Wakefield.

    "I'm not really into that at the moment," he said. "I love my brother to death and I'm pleased for him, but we're talking about today."

    Wakefield have settled nicely now.

    Those three tries looked as if the stuffing would be knocked out of Super League's bottom side, but with two quick tries they are now matching Castleford.
