    FT: St Helens 4-18 Warrington

    Captain Chris Hill was almost in tears as he was hugged by coach Steve Price on the touchline.

    They've given everything.

    Price is then showered by a massive ice bucket! I'm sure he won't care too much.

    Reaction on the way from the victorious Warrington camp.

    Wonderful tackle by Daryl Clark on Regan Grace and the Saints winger is denied a consolation.

    Warrington coach Steve Price has had a master plan today, everybody knew which way they would have to go but they've controlled the ball and they've been big in the middle.

    Well done Steve Price!

    Nick: There’s your Lance Todd Trophy winner. Daryl Clark is Superman.

    Jason: Very good final this. Very few thought Warrington would win (me included) but totally deserved.

    Warrington hooker Daryl Clark is named man of the match and will take home the Lance Todd Trophy.

    He's only the third hooker to win the award since 1946.

    He's been exceptional.

    Rachel: Words I never thought I'd say pre kick-off: Saints have been their own worst enemy today.

    Rob: Saints have been shocking this afternoon. Wire on the other hand have played fantastically well. Turned the ball over in all the right places and played with minimal errors.

    Warrington are getting closer to their first trophy under head coach Steve Price.

    He took the Wire to two finals last season but they were beaten in both.

    This time, Price and the Wolves will be winners.

    St Helens 4-18 Warrington

    Injured Warrington Wolves half-back Blake Austin tells BBC One from the bench:

    "We've just got to keep turning the ball over in the corners, anytime we've done that we've managed to put them under a lot of pressure.

    "I'm a rugby league fan today, it's been enjoyable watching the boys putting in a real effort, I think rugby league is the winner today."

    TRY: St Helens 4-18 Warringtonpublished at 72 mins

    Daryl Clark, Declan Patton goal

    That must be the match-clincher!

    Daryl Clark breaks from dummy-half, dives through a gap and touches down. Trademark Clark.

    Declan Patton kicks the goal which is all-important. 14 points is the gap now with seven minutes left - Warrington have surely won the 2019 Challenge Cup.

    Media caption,

    Clark's try puts Warrington in a commanding position with minutes to spare

    Another knock-on - Theo Fages this time, 10 metres from his own line.

    Dangerous times for the men in red and white.

    Lachlan Coote is having a day to forget.

    The St Helens full-back made the error that led to Warrington's second try, failed with a conversion attempt that would have got his side within one score, and now makes a handling error that gifts the ball back to Warrington.

    Ten minutes remain.

    There's not quite the snap in attack from either side, it must be said, and it's completely understandable.

    That'll suit Warrington, who still lead by eight points.

    A few signs that the heat has taken its toll on some of the players. There are a few weary bodies on both sides.

    Some gaps will open up - will anyone be able to exploit them?

    Saints are all over Warrington like a rash now, hunting down the Wolves' runners in packs. That Theo Fages try has given them fresh impetus.

    The atmosphere had already cranked up a notch as Saints got ever closer to the line, but when they finally made it, the red and white end went into meltdown.

    Impossible to understand why they feel the need to let off fireworks on a day as hot as this. Especially after a missed kick!

    This game is already hot enough and about to reach boiling point!

    Emily: This is an amazing final! I’m so hot in this stadium can’t imagine how the players are feeling but this game which is a classic amazing game of rugby league.

    Eric: Loving the intensity of the Challenge Cup. Great game.

    The heat is certainly demanding that players seek shade when they get a rest... not that anyone is being afforded too much of a break in this cracker!
