    The comeback has been too easy for me. Hull KR have put it on a plate for them.

    Steve MichaelsRex Features

    What a turnaround. STEVE MICHAELS.

    Hull moved the ball to the right after a loose Rovers offload and punished the error with Michaels' try.

    Mahe Fonua did the groundwork with a powerful carry, Danny Washbrook snared up the loose ball and Michaels capped it.

    Marc Sneyd's kick put Hull FC ahead but Rovers look done. Can they drag themselves off the canvas here?

  3. try

    TRY (Fonua)

    Hull KR 20-16 Hull FC

    Mahe Fonua gets Hull a penalty for tackle off the ball and another set of six 10 away.

    The ever-sharp Danny Houghton scoots away from dummy-half, dummies left and then goes back to Fonua on the right who crashes through a gaping hole.

    Sneyd misses the kick. 

    BUT GAME ON. FOUR POINT GAME. EIGHT TO GO.

    The cat is amongst the Robins because the Black and Whites have scored!

  4. Hull KR 20-12 Hull FC

    Huge Josh Mantellato drop out gets the ball to half-way, but Hull FC come again.

    The big lads have a second wind now, particularly Frank Pritchard who looks revitalised.

    So does Scott Taylor!

  5. Hull KR 20-12 Hull FC

    Quick hands and good lines are really causing problems for Rovers.

    They are finishing their sets in strong positions and Jamie Shaul's hack on forces Ben Cockayne to scrabble back and force a Rovers drop-out.

    Hull FC will get the ball back and they are on the front foot.

  6. Hull KR 20-12 Hull FC

    What a turnaround. Hull FC looked bereft but a bit of magic from Jamie Shaul has given them a bit of belief.

    Rovers are the ones falling off tackles and FC are promoting it well.

    Still just under quarter of an hour to play and you'd imagine this will go to the wire.

  7. Hull KR 20-12 Hull FC

    BBC Radio Humberside

    There were a couple of forward passes in there for me but it was great interplay from Hull FC. Hull are back in this game now. They have been putting better sets of six together and they have got some belief in them.

  8. try

    TRY (Houghton, con Sneyd)

    Hull KR 20-12 Hull FC

    Danny Houghton scoresRex Features

    Brilliant try as Hull FC start to click and make things tick.

    Jamie Shaul laid the platform with an initial kick return and then it was down to the forwards to lead the way from there with Liam Watts and Scott Taylor involved for Danny Houghton to dab down.

    Marc Sneyd nailed the kick. Boom. Nervy now!

  9. Hull KR 20-6 Hull FC

    BBC Radio Humberside

    That's something from nothing for the Black and Whites. There are no whoops and cheers from the Black and Whites fans but maybe it is a little ray of hope.

    Richard Stead, BBC Radio Humberside

  10. try

    TRY (Shaul, con Sneyd)

    Hull KR 20-6 Hull FC

    Jamie ShaulRex Features

    Hull have a glimmer of hope as Jamie Shaul accelerates through the Rovers swathes to score the first points of the game for the visitors just shy of the hour mark.

    Rovers had knocked on in pushing for another try and Hull took advantage with a move from the base of the scrum that found Kirk Yeaman and his offload was smart to put Shaul into the clear.

    Marc Sneyd curled in the goal. 14-points in it.

  11. PENALTY GOAL (Mantellato)

    Hull KR 20-0 Hull FC

    Josh MantellatoRex Features

    Hull KR edge further ahead and Hull FC yet to get on the board.

    Rovers have the ball back from the restart too... ONE WAY TRAFFIC.

  12. Hull KR 18-0 Hull FC

    Hull forced into panicky last-tackle plays from deep and the ball sails into touch.

    Rovers seem to grow in confidence BUT Albert Kelly is down.

    That will always be a concern... penalty goes Rovers' way for that shoulder charge. Another kick for goal.

  13. Hull KR 18-0 Hull FC

    Rovers showing no signs of slowing down in this one. Craven Park is rocking. They are dominating.

    The kicking game is pegging Hull back down field, Jamie Shaul having to gather in his own in-goal area.

    They're up in the line, great linespeed and kick-chase and giving the visitors no breathing space.

  14. Hull KR 18-0 Hull FC

    BBC Radio Humberside

    At half-time I thought 12-0 was no lead at all as Hull would have had a dressing down and would have a go, but that hasn't materialised and Rovers have scored. If Hull don't score in the next 5-10 minutes then I think it's all over. Rovers are well worth their lead.

  15. try

    TRY (Thornley, con Mantellato)

    Hull KR 18-0 Hull FC

    James Webster might just afford himself a smile after that.

    Iain Thornley went over, on the back of a huge break by Maurice Blair that was so well supported by John Boudebza.

    The French hooker whizzed the ball to Thornley out wide and he shrugged off the Hull FC cover to thump the ball down. Josh Mantellato swipes the ball though the uprights. Three tries to nil.

    Mark Minichello looks in a bad way for Hull, he was injured in the build-up. Will Hull be down another interchange with no Carlos Tuimavave available?

  16. Hull KR 12-0 Hull FC

    That was better from Hull, making use of the field position. They need to create some from their own kicks or pressure rather than relying on penalties.

    Hull KR currently have a comfortable buffer but coach James Webster knows that his side cannot afford to sit back and soak up.

  17. Hull KR 12-0 Hull FC

    Danny Houghton stopped five away and then Josh Bowden denied. Marc Sneyd is stopped. Rovers keep shutting the door.

    Eventually the visitors run out of tackles and Rovers look to strike on the turnover.

  18. Hull KR 12-0 Hull FC

    Big kick return as Albert Kelly's high kick is drawn in by Steve Michaels.

    Hull need some momentum here. They're into the Rovers half and are given a penalty when a player is tackled without the ball.

    Ball to touch. Tap and go in the 20!

  19. Hull KR 12-0 Hull FC

    Mahe Fonua gathers in Albert Kelly's kick on the full and taps on the 20.

    Hull FC get repeat penalties but are then pulled for a forward pass. Rovers handed a reprieve and a scrum deep in their own end.

  20. Hull KR 12-0 Hull FC

    First carry of the ball for Rovers on the restart hands them a penalty after Gareth Ellis is deemed to have infringed at the play-the ball.

    Rovers making headway here. Into the Hull 20...
