    And so ends another stellar night of rugby league. We now know two of our four Challenge Cup semi-finalists who will be battling it out in Bolton in July for a place at Wembley for the final.

    Warrington made it hard for themselves and fought off an inspired Hull KR comeback, but ultimately Steve Price's side worked their way through.

    Meanwhile, we'll be back tomorrow for live coverage of St Helens v Wakefield.

    For now, thank you for joining us.

    FT: Hull KR 22-28 Warrington

    Warrington half-back Blake Austin told Sky Sports:

    "We made it hard for ourselves at the back end of the match. We had 11 men for about 12 minutes and that was tough.

    "To be 12-0 at half time was massive for us and in the end our energy levels got to us and we made poor decisions.

    "We got leaky towards the end and we'd like to be better on the tries we let in. But now we're off to Bolton."

    Hull KR 22-28 Warrington

    The ball is spilled by Warrington on the hooter and Hull KR begin an attack on zero tackle and boot it down the field in a kick and chase.

    But it bounces into touch and it's all over. Despite a valiant comeback, Warrington are through to the semi-finals.

    This game just won't quit.

    Hull KR needed a quickfire try and they've got it courtesy of Craig Hall's hard work.

    Heartbreak for Hull KR!

    Tremendous stuff this. There's a big kick from Ben Currie in the air and he runs forwards and collects the ball from an offload to run in pretty much unopposed.

    Declan Patton adds the two.

    Josh Drinkwater

    Wow. The comeback is on!

    Josh Drinkwater runs in under the posts for his second try of the evening and we've got a game on our hands, folks.

    Ryan Shaw makes no mistake with the conversion.

    Hull KR 10-22 Warrington

    More arguments after Declan Patton's given a push after going down with the ball from Josh Drinkwater.

    That was the beginning of their first set and he reacts to the challenge and is penalised. Hull KR have another set of their own deep in the Warrington half.

    This is a very tense game.

    Hull KR 10-22 Warrington

    Hull KR have a golden chance to break towards the tryline and continue their comeback, but Bryson Goodwin forces a knock-on from the hosts.

    There's a scrum on the 10m line and this is tense!

    Warrington win a penalty within kicking range and opt to go for the two. Declan Patton stands over it and misses the target, with cheers erupting at Craven Park.

    How costly will that prove to be?

    Josh Drinkwater

    Great work from the hosts sees Josh Drinkwater go in under the posts and suddenly we're got a game on our hands so soon after it seemed like Warrington were holding firm.

    Ryan Shaw adds the two and Hull KR are up to double figures.

    Hull KR 4-22 Warrington

    The answer is not this time. Warrington win possession back and take advantage of the hosts' inability to make their attack stick.

    And all of a sudden, we're back at the other end of the field!

  13. Postpublished at 59 mins

    Hull KR 4-22 Warrington

    There's some arguments as there's a clash between Ben Murdoch-Masila and Danny McGuire following a tackle but play quickly restarts.

    Hull KR have another set and they're deep in the Warrington half.

    Can they make it count?

    Ben Crooks

    Wow, talk about a response!

    Ben Crooks steals the ball in midfield and gallops his way upfield and beats the onrushing Ben Currie to cross over.

    Ryan Shaw misses the two, however.

    Stunning stuff. A first Challenge Cup try for Ben Murdoch-Masila who crawls his way over the line to register Warrington's fourth try.

    Declan Patton boots over the conversion with ease.

    It's a long way back for Hull KR, now.

    At the other end, Danny McGuire is there just in time to push the ball away and stop Warrington from bagging their fourth try of the evening.

    This is frantic stuff.

    Hull KR 0-16 Warrington

    Chris Atkins has just put in a monster of a tackle on the onrushing Warrington prop Chris Hill.

    What follows is a good spell of play for the hosts, who finally make a speculative dash towards the tryline, but it's held up once more.

    Hull KR 0-16 Warrington

    My word, Warrington are making easy work of this now.

    Daryl Clark's just worked onto possession and has literally walked with the ball with minimal pressure from the hosts.

    What have Hull KR got in response? They need a score and they need it quickly.

    That's the worst start Hull KR could hope for in this second half.

    Warrington make quick work of adding to their tally as former Hull FC man Tom Lineham twists and turns at the end of their set of six to ground the ball for a try.

    Declan Patton misses the extras.
