  1. TRY REVIEWpublished at 46 mins

    Leeds 30-0 Hull KR

    Are Hull KR on the board? Jamie Ellis thinks so and the referee says 'try' on the field.

  2. SIN-BINpublished at 45 mins

    Leeds 30-0 Hull KR

    If Hull KR are going to get a window of opportunity this might be it as Ava Seumanufagai is sent to the sin-bin for 10 minutes for a high shot.

    Can Rovers make the most of their one-man advantage?

  3. Postpublished at 44 mins

    Leeds 30-0 Hull KR

    No alarms in the Leeds rearguard so far. Richie Myler is looking solid at full-back as he retrieves Rovers kicks, and they patiently work through their own sets.

    Rhinos don't need to force the pace of this game.

    Leeds 30-0 Hull KR

    It's a decent enough first set of the half by Rovers, but they need to score - and score quickly.

  5. Kick-offpublished at 41 mins

    Leeds 30-0 Hull KR

    And we are back under way in St Helens.

    Hull KR will get first use of the ball and they need a fast start if they want to raise hopes of a comeback.

    A reminder that the remaining two Challenge Cup quarter-finals take place tomorrow and will be covered across the BBC.

    Warrington face St Helens in a repeat of last season's final at 14:30 BST on BBC One, before Hull FC take on Wigan at 17:00 BST on BBC Two.

    We'll also have live text of both and they will be covered on BBC local radio.

  7. Salford become first team into semispublished at 21:18 British Summer Time 18 September 2020

    FT: Catalans 18-22 Salford

    If you missed it earlier, the first quarter-final was a humdinger of a game.

    After leading early on, Catalans were never behind until Dan Sarginson completed Salford's comeback in golden point extra-time to send the Red Devils - last season's Grand Finalists - into the last four.

    A totally dominant first-half performance from Leeds.

    Five tries from five different scorers for Richard Agar's side, with Ava Seumanufagai, Ash Handley, Tom Briscoe, Harry Newman and Kruise Leeming all going over.

    Kruise Leeming, con Rhyse Martin

    And extend their lead they do.

    Kruise Leeming is the man who gets it, holding off the attention of numerous defenders to go over next to the posts.

    Five first-half tries for the Rhinos, and surely a semi-final place is theirs.

    Leeds 24-0 Hull KR

    Indiscipline from Hull KR hands Leeds a penalty with time running out in the first half, and they pump the ball long for field position.

    They will have a full set to try to extend their lead before the hooter.

    Leeds 24-0 Hull

    The RFL's disciplinary panel could be busy again next week.

    After banning Warrington's Tom Lineham for eight games on Tuesday for a low grab on Castleford's Alex Foster, Hull KR's Jamie Ellis has just been placed on report following an allegation of biting on James Donaldson.

    Leeds are completely in control of this on the scoreboard, but if Hull KR can get a score before half-time then suddenly it becomes a very different team talk for Tony Smith.

    Rovers do appear to be growing in confidence after not conceding since the 20th minute.

  13. Postpublished at 32 mins

    Leeds 24-0 Hull KR

    We've not had a try for 12 minutes. What's going on?

    While we ponder that question, we have a break in play as Leeds' Alex Mellor receives treatment to a cut on his head.

    Leeds 24-0 Hull KR

    Leeds defend that set really well as Hull KR are actually forced backwards.

    And when the low grubber kick comes in off the last tackle, there is Robert Lui to swoop on the loose ball.

    Thou shalt not pass.

    Well might Ash Handley smile. Everything has gone right for Leeds so far.

    Although, as I say that, they do give away a repeat set deep inside their own half.

  16. Postpublished at 25 mins

    Leeds 24-0 Hull KR

    Almost, almost for Hull KR. But not quite.

    Shaun Kenny-Dowall beats Ash Handley to a hanging kick and looks set to get Hull KR on the scoreboard.... until Richie Myler nips in with a try-saving tackle.

  17. Postpublished at 23 mins

    Leeds 24-0 Hull KR

    If Rovers are going to get back into this they just can't afford simple mistakes like loose passes which don't go to hand as they cough up possession again.

    Leeds look lethal with the ball this evening.

    Harry Newman, con Rhyse Martin

    Breathtaking from Harry Newman.

    This try is all about individual brilliance. There didn't look much on when Newman caught a high pass from Robert Lui, but the young centre showed great footwork to skip past four defenders and power over the line.

    I hate to say it, but I think this one is done as a contest only a quarter of the way into the game.

    Things are going from bad to worse for Tony Smith and his Hull KR side as another Leeds attack results in another Leeds try.

    Kruise Leeming makes metres with a powerful run to set up the field position and as the Rhinos move the ball right, Tom Briscoe is at his predatory best to tip-toe past defenders and touch down.

    Briscoe loves playing Rovers, after scoring a record five tries in Leeds' 50-0 Challenge Cup final win over the Robins five years ago.

  20. Postpublished at 14 mins

    Leeds 12-0 Hull KR

    A first spell of sustained pressure inside the Leeds 20 for Hull KR.

    Rovers move the ball left then right, and launch a high kick which Ethan Ryan can't gather. The Rhinos' defence holds out for now.
