    FT: Warrington 26-27 Wigan

    Warrington head coach Tony Smith on BBC Red Button:

    "We were very close in a couple of ways but I suppose when you look back over the game a few of those errors have cost us.

    "The spirit was there, they had a real crack, some of my boys were carrying some stuff there. Character-wise, I can't be critical."

    On Declan Patton's late miss: "It's all part of the learning process and that's how you become a great player of the future. He'll get better from it, he did some really good things for us today."

    Wigan forward John Bateman on BBC One:

    "I was watching the screen, I didn't even want to watch the kick.

    "That was one of the best feelings ever."

    You might never see a more exciting finish than that.

    Patton was only 10 metres out when he attempted his drop-kick, but he couldn't quite get his angles right under pressure.

    Wigan's hopes of a 20th Challlenge Cup triumph live on.

    Patton's last second drop-kick sails wide

    Declan Patton gets the chance to tie the scores right at the death, but his drop-kick sails agonisingly wide.

    Wigan, by the slimmest of margins, are into the Challenge Cup semi-finals.

    It's heartbreak for Warrington.

    This could prove crucial.

    It looks like being the Warriors' day.

    Can Warrington fight back for a third time?

    Unbelievable.

    Moments after Warrington get back on level terms, John Bateman runs through a poor challenge to restore Wigan's lead.

    George Williams stays perfect with his kicking to get the advantage up to six points.

    Warrington 18-20 Wigan

    A handling error from Ashton Sims looks to have put an end to Warrington's attack, but the hosts recover and flip the ball out to the left-hand side to Tom Lineham.

    Lineham's kick-and-chase looks like it will be unsuccessful, but Liam Marshall is penalised for obstruction.

    And now, another penalty goes against the visitors. Warrington will go for the two points...

    It was a Joe Burgess knock-on which set Warrington up for that Andre Savelio try, and another penalty puts the visitors under pressure again.

    This time, Wigan survive the attack, but the momentum has shifted back in favour of Tony Smith's side.

    Warrington are right back in it!

    The hosts move the ball with pace and finesse, eventually setting up Andre Savelio to dart over the line.

    It's a great team try, and with Declan Patton kicking the two points, it's a try which gets Wolves back within two points of Wigan.

    Warrington 12-20 Wigan

    Warrington can't take advantage of the penalty, as a forward pass nullifies the attacking threat.

    Having started the half so badly, Wolves are matching Wigan again, but they're finding it very difficult to pick apart the Warriors' defensive line.

    Warrington 12-20 Wigan

    Warrington have fought back from 12 points behind to get back on terms in this game before, and now they face another uphill struggle.

    Yet another Wigan penalty allows the hosts to build an attack from close to the Warriors goal-line.
