Amanda: So unbelievably proud of my team, whatever the result you're always the winners in my eyes #Hull FC

Martin: Cracking start. Can you delay half-time a bit so I can pick the kids up?

Katie: I think the people in the south of France will learn some new English while I'm watching.

We can't make any promises Martin, and we hope those are nice words Katie?

Wigan try to build something but Sam Tomkins' pass is intercepted by Josh Griffin and knocked on.

Initially it didn't seem as though referee Phil Bentham had blown for the knock-on. Wigan fans' hearts skipped a beat there!

Outstanding last tackle play from Sneyd. That was a peach of a kick again. They deserve this lead.

Hull are looking just about the more threatening here. Albert Kelly sends through a grubber kick which Joe Burgess has to put behind for the goal-line dropout.

Scott Taylor's ball spill provides Wigan with a penalty 40 metres out, but the Warriors can't register any more points as Mahe Fonua gathers a George Williams kick.

That was a precise kick, on the button. Talanoa is so good in the air. Great try.

Both sides have been very disciplined so far. I can't recall there being a penalty awarded in the first 10 minutes.

Ah, spoke too soon. Wigan's Liam Farrell doesn't play the ball correctly and is penalised.

Marc Sneyd, the Lance Todd Trophy winner as man of the match in Hull's win over Warrington at Wembley last year, has had a couple of chances with the boot early on but has been unable to create anything meaninful thus far.

I'd expect him to produce some wizardry before the day is out, though.

The early exchanges are fairly even. Wigan put in a strong defensive set, but then their first offensive set ends with a kick being taken in goal by Hull's Mahe Fonua.

Handshakes done, national anthem done, let's get going!

Will Wembley be black and white or cherry and white this afternoon?

The Challenge Cup final of 2017 is under way.

It is one beautiful sight, is it not?

And this is just the view from the media seats at Wembley.

Both teams will create opportunities today. Taking those opportunities will be absolutely vital.

So with that in mind, we might see some special defensive play, which could be the difference today.

On a glorious sunny day at Wembley, the teams are out onto the field and are being presented to today's guest of honour - rugby league legend Ellery Hanley.

A few minutes before kick-off now - I've been chatting to two BBC pundits with an intimate knowledge of these two teams

Former Wigan Warriors assistant coach Iestyn Harris, who can be heard on BBC Radio 5 live, says there is "no out-and-out favourite".

Ex-Hull FC winger Kirk Dixon, who is providing insight on BBC Radio Humberside today, says it promises to be a fantastic game.

A more traditional song - Abide With Me - is now being sung at Wembley, albeit after a few technical issues.

Wigan Warriors fan Paul Holden has picked up his ukulele and written a song ahead of today's Challenge Cup final.

And it's made quite the impact on the charts...

About 10 minutes until kick-off at Wembley - are these the two men that hold the key to the outcome of today's final?

Hull's Marc Sneyd and Wigan's George Williams are the chief creators for their respective sides.

Here's how they match up, based on their statistics in this season's Super League competition.
