    Wigan are denied a fifth try.

    Dan Sarginson grounds the ball but the video referee deems that Joel Tomkins was offside when he collected a ricochet from a kick.

    Wigan 24-10 Hull

    Tempers are beginning to flare a bit here.

    Josh Griffin and Sam Tomkins have a bit of a set-to, Griffin pushes Tomkins in the face and the Wigan man responds by pushing his head into the face of Griffin.

    Both players get yellow cards and will watch the rest of this match from the sidelines.

    Ben Flower, goal Sam Tomkins

    Ben Flower, his left eye swelling up from an earlier knock, has scored what must be a match-clinching try for Wigan.

    Referee Matt Cecchin signals "no try" on the field, but he sends it up to the video referee, who awards the Wales international prop four points.

    Wigan are ramping up the pressure now. One more Warriors try will surely put the result beyond doubt.

    Hull are tiring, but they're hanging on very well.

    Sam Tomkins sends a spiralling kick deep into Hull territory on the last tackle, but Jake Connor takes it so easily - making a mockery of the humid conditions.

    Great work by the Hull centre.

    Wigan celebrate lustily as a spell of Hull pressure ends with Mickey Paea dropping the ball 20 metres from the Warriors' line.

    Wigan 18-10 Hull

    Just over 20 minutes for Hull to reduce that eight-point deficit.

    Both sides won their opening games of the season last week. Which team will extend their 100% start?

    Wigan 18-10 Hull

    Wigan break again through George Williams - his chip kick is gathered by Morgan Escare, but the Warriors are denied.

    Hull, with a couple of injury issues, are appearing to tire a little in the balmy Wollongong conditions.

    But what's this?! Albert Kelly races through the line on the last tackle and almost creates a Hull try. Maybe there's life in those Airlie Birds yet!

    George Williams is so key to how this Wigan side attacks, both with ball in hand and with a very solid kicking game.

    His quality was on show again with that third Warriors try.

    Ryan Sutton, goal Sam Tomkins

    Wigan's pressure early in the second half is rewarded with a try for Ryan Sutton.

    England international half-back George Williams makes the initial break, and from the next play he executes the offload that helps to set up big forward Sutton for the Warriors' third score.

    Another absence for Hull - having lost Bureta Faraimo in the first couple of minutes, now hooker and captain Danny Houghton is sitting out the start of the second period with what may be an injury.

    Advantage Wigan Warriors at the halfway point in Wollongong - but only just.

    Liam Marshall's opening two tries gave Wigan the perfect start, but an acrobatic finish from Fetuli Talanoa kept Hull well in the contest and Jordan Abdull's try levelled it up at 10-10.

    Sam Tomkins' penalty is the only difference as the half-time hooter sounds.
