    Regan Grace snaffles another awkward kick from Wigan to get Saints the ball.

    However, the play has been in their half for the past 10 minutes and they need a clearing kick... oh.

    Theo Fages knocks on under pressure from Joel Tomkins and Wigan get the ball. 20 out.

    St Helens on the rack at the moment. Liam Farrell puts another kick in behind the Saints right edge to force the drop out.

    They went right and then left in search of a try. Saints scrambling.

    More astute kicking from George Williams in dangerous areas forces Adam Swift to run the ball to touch to avoid conceding a try.

    Scrum Wigan, 10 away from the Saints line.

    You've been having your say about Kyle Amor's red card.

    Stacy Phillips: Absolutely nailed on red card. Gave the referee no choice, he nearly knocked the lad's head off.

    Kyle: If that's a red card Matt why was Westwood not sent off for Warrington against Leeds last weekend, no consistency.

    You may recall that Ben Westwood was sin-binned for the challenge on Liam Sutcliffe that Kyle refers to. He was given a four-game ban earlier in the week after admitting a charge of striking.

    The promise behind Regan Grace is clear to see. Doesn't look fazed at all.

    Matty Smith belies his calm head by banging the ball out on the full and Wigan will go back to the middle with a set of six.

    Wigan 6-2 St Helens

    Wigan have come out firing on all cylinders since Saints went down to 12.

    Their bench has added some punch too, with Tautai prevalent in that front-foot ball.

    Mind you, Saints went the length of the field with their last set but Tom Davies took in a high Matty Smith bomb calmly and coolly.

    Joe Burgess puts his head among the flying boots in the Saints in-goal area to press his fingertips to the moving ball.

    Brilliant finish from another glorious kick from George Williams and Wigan go in front.

    Wigan 0-2 St Helens

    Taulima Tautai is on to offer some bulk to the Wigan forwards. His drive gives Wigan the position, and a kick goes through from George Williams.

    Joe Burgess went for it...

    Mark Percival dinks it through, simple. Saints, down to 12 of course, lead.

    Theo Fages made a line-break and hesitated. Almost rabbit in the headlights.

    However, Saints earn a penalty after Willie Isa made a late challenge.

    Big opportunity for the visitors here. Mark Percival going for the sticks.

    Liam Farrell saunters through but off a Sean O'Loughlin forward pass. Cheers swiftly muted.

    There's a cracking pace to this game. How long can they keep this up?

    Kyle Amor really caught Liam Marshall high. Ben Thaler, an experienced Super League referee had no hesitation in sending him off and Amor trotted disconsolately towards the dressing room.

    That has fired up the crowd. Boos for Saints' every touch.

    They put on a big shift to the right for Mark Percival, who fumbles the ball out to the right wing where Adam Swift gathers but it sailed forward.

    Let off for Wigan. They can control this game now, with that man advantage.

    Kyle Amor sent off!

    Liam Marshall hammers forward with the ball, and big Cumbrian prop Amor takes him high. Bang.

    Saints down to 12 for the rest of the game. Turning point?

    Kyle: Strange seeing a Wigan v Saints clash with neither in the top four. Huge for both with tough Easter Monday clashes to come.

    Well, that was interesting.

    It's a skiddy pitch and Zeb Taia almost spilled the ball for Morgan Escare to score. However it was deemed the ball was knocked out.

    No try. Still 0-0.

    Regan Grace beat four men there. Wigan didn't know what was going on. It was a brilliant run.

    Brilliant mopping up from Regan Grace takes Saints almost up to half-way first tackle.

    Anthony Gelling's grubber was snaffled and from there, a Jon Wilkin kick rolls to touch and Wigan forced right back inside their own half with the feed from the scrum.

    Superb break from the young Wales winger.
