    Bradford 12-8 Halifax

    Almost into the final quarter, and only one score separates these two Championship clubs.

    There is plenty of time left for Halifax to turn this one around again as the two sides start to tire.

    That's a lesson for anyone playing this game. Don't give up on anything.

    TRY: Bradford 12-8 Halifaxpublished at 54 mins

    Jake Webster, goal con Lilley

    Matty Wildie's kick goes high, and Jake Webster IS onside.

    Scott Grix loses the ball under pressure from Webster right in front of his own line before the former New Zealand touches down.

    An uncharacteristic error from the on-loan Huddersfield man there.

    Try given, and Odsal has found its voice again!

    Jordan Lilley adds the extras.

    Halifax have got the bit between their teeth. They're looking energised and enthusiastic and Bradford need to hold their nerve over these next five minutes.

    Bradford 6-8 Halifax

    Incredible from Steve Tyrer, who slips a couple of tackles and gets to within inches of the Bulls line before being halted.

    A kick goes into the Bradford in-goal area on the last, but the ball bobbles out and goes dead.

    In the meantime, an allegation of biting on Halifax's Dan Fleming has gone on report.

    And in a flash, Halifax are ahead and have the momentum.

    Now they win a penalty 30 metres out from the Bradford line and have a chance to attack.

    Well, that's a turnaround. It's gone a bit flat in Odsal now.

    EIGHT-POINT TRY: Bradford 6-8 Halfiaxpublished at 46 mins

    Steve Tyrer, goal con Tyrer, goal Tyrer

    Steve Tyrer scores the try, but is fouled by Jake Webster in doing so,

    The Bulls centre brought down his opposite number by the neck while going for the ball.

    Tyrer gets given the penalty try.

    Tyrer slots the conversion goal, and now has a penalty in front of the sticks, which also goes over.

    Bradford 6-0 Halifax

    Scott Murrell puts a high kick into the Bulls in-goal area and Fax could have a try here...

    Steve Tyrer looked to have got the ball down in front of a Bradford defender.

    We go to the television match official Chris Kendall.

    Bradford 6-0 Halifax

    Bradford head coach John Kear tells BBC Two's Damian Johnson that Rowan Milnes has broken a bone in his leg during that first half.

    He's expected to be out for around six weeks.

    Bradford 6-0 Halifax

    Bradford get the second half started. The Bulls are 40 minutes away from the last four.

    Can Halifax find a way back into the game? They put the Bulls under pressure in the first half but could not find a way to the hosts' line.

    Scott Murrell was at the heart of all of Fax's attacking play, but his passes and kicks failed to unlock the Bradford defence.

    Remember, the draw for the semi-finals takes place on BBC Two after full-time.

    One of these clubs will be the sole Championship representative in the last four.

    Here is the one try we have had so far at Odsal.

    Rowan Milnes started the move for Bradford and finished it as well.

    It has been tough but we have been stupid with the ball. We have made too many mistakes and given away too many penalties. We need to be better second half

    There's nothing in it. Defensively, they've both been solid and you can't really see where the attacking threat is going to break the defence down.

    Everything to play for, they know each other so well, but in the second half the slope will be with Halifax.

    Halifax can't make the most of the late opportunity, as Connor Farrell falls on a chipped kick over the top and makes sure the ball goes dead.

    Bradford have the advantage at the break.
