    Castleford 0-0 Leeds

    Oof, a Jamie Ellis up and over kick on Castleford's fifth tackle flies towards the tryline, but it's held up by Leeds who win back possession.

    This a scrappy game and neither side have got much of a foothold so far.

    Castleford 0-0 Leeds

    Richie Myler has taken a hard hit as Leeds break towards the Castleford line and he looks very dazed indeed. Kind of expecting cartoon birds to be flying around his head, to be honest.

    He's cleared to continue, fortunately. Let's just say this has been a robust opening six minutes!

    Castleford 0-0 Leeds

    Jack Walker is still limping but he comes to Leeds' aid as he bats the ball out as Jy Hitchcox hovers into the Leeds goal area, ready to pounce.

    It would be a shame if the 18-year-old was forced off at this early stage.

    Castleford 0-0 Leeds

    Early drama for Leeds Rhinos. Jack Walker is limping having gone into a tackle. He doesn't look very happy.

    Will he be able to continue?

    Leeds Rhinos will be without Anthony Mullally as they face Castleford Tigers in a rematch of their 2017 Super League Grand Final win.

    The prop sits out the trip to Newcastle after being handed a two-match ban ahead of the Magic Weekend.

    The 26-year-old was suspended for the illegal use of his knees in the Rhinos' Challenge Cup win at Widnes on Friday, 11 May.

    How big of a loss will he be today, Leeds fans?

    And so here we are, the final game of the day and what a match-up this is.

    It's a rematch of last season's Super League Grand Final and another huge venue in St James' Park for it to take place in.

    Castleford take on Leeds, this time in a mid-table clash. Who will seize victory today? Can Leeds leapfrog Cas in the table? Or will the Tigers avenge their Grand Final defeat?

    Kick-off is coming your way.

    FT: Wigan 38-10 Warrington

    How important will that game be in this season's battle at the top of Super League?

    That victory puts Wigan within two points of leaders St Helens and they have a game in hand. Meanwhile, third-placed Warrington have played a game more and are four points off Shaun Wane's side.

    A quickfire day of rugby league continues. The fourth and final game of the day is coming very soon as Castleford take on Leeds.

    Bradford Bulls coach on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    Wigan have looked better than St Helens today with how they've performed and they're certainly going to be contenders at the end of the season.

    We've waxed lyrical about the forwards, how they've defended and how they've carried but they've scored six tries and six backs have scored them.

    That's a great effort from the team as a whole. Lay the foundations up front and the pretty boys can do it wide out.

  13. 'The scoreline flatters Wigan'published at 19:21 British Summer Time 19 May 2018

    FT: Wigan 38-10 Warrington

    Wigan Warriors full-back Sam Tomkins told Sky Sports:

    "That's one of our best performances of the year and we knew we'd have to come up with that to beat them.

    "The scoreline flatters us, it wasn't an easy game.

    "We pride ourselves on our defence and we know Warrington have improved their defence too and are tough to break down, but don't be fooled by that scoreline."

    Wigan 38-10 Warrington

    Morgan Escare was clean through to run in and score yet another Wigan try but he trips up on his way!

    The Warriors win ultimately win a penalty which Sam Tomkins easily scores and the game's all over.

    That's an almighty win for Wigan who again move to within two points of Super League leaders St Helens.

    Warrington are beaten and bewildered, and look like they want to get off the pitch as soon as possible.

    TRY: Wigan 36-10 Warringtonpublished at 77 mins

    Tom Davies

    Shaun Wane has never lost a Magic Weekend game. That's an impressive record. But the Wigan Warriors coach has seen enough and he's making his way down to the touchline already.

    I wonder if he saw Tom Davies' try on his way down, though. The Wigan man runs in an emphatic try for the Cherry and Whites.

    Sam Tomkins kicks in the extras and they've been stunning today.

    Wigan 30-10 Warrington

    Paul Rowley
    Toronto Wolfpack coach on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    It's great work from George Williams, who recognised there was no full-back at home and kicked it through for Liam Marshall.

    Stefan Ratchford has switched off now and is late covering and is a full pass and a half behind the ball.

    Liam Marshall

    Late drama as Liam Marshall goes in up the other end, just moments after Warrington's disallowed try.

    That's put this game to bed, now.

    Sam Tomkins hits the post with the conversion attempt, however.

    Wigan flood towards the ball as Warrington press to win a late try.

    In the process, the Wire win a penalty and they carry on their pursuit of another score and Stefan Ratchford crosses over.

    It's gone to video referee James Child and it's disallowed for obstruction in the build-up. Warrington coach Steve Price looks puzzled following the decision.

  20. MISSED PENALTYpublished at 68 mins

    Wigan 26-10 Warrington

    Sam Tomkins misses the chance to put Wigan 18 points in front, and surely kill the game off, as his penalty sails wide.

    Warrington are running out of time to get anything out of this game.
