    Salford 12-16 Warrington

    Salford are holding firm but they could do with calming down a prolonged spell of Warrington possession, here.

    Blake Austin races clear and tries to offload to Matty Ashton who knocks on.

    That's a let off for Salford. Ashton should have been through.

    Salford 12-16 Warrington

    Blake Austin looks to send a looping offload into the onrushing Josh Charnley but it's a poor pass and it sails behind the winger and in to touch.

    Warrington are throwing everything they can at Salford right now, but they're being let down by their own lack of finishing at the moment.

    Chris Hill calls Salford into a tackle right on the line as Warrington look to add a bit of breathing space.

    But Salford are wise to it as their fine defensive display continues.

    I'm genuinely not sure how this one's going to end up. Two sides really going at it at the minute.

    Gareth Widdop

    This time Warrington score a penalty of their own in front of the posts and they opt to take the two again in this marginal game.

    Gareth Widdop makes no mistake and maintains his 100% record with the boot this evening.

    Salford 12-14 Warrington

    Krisnan Inu does well to collect Anthony Gelling's last ditch kick on the verge of the turnover and the Salford try-scorer gains a good 10 metres for his trouble.

    Moments later, Jake Mamo and Blake Austin run against Salford's red wall and Gareth Widdop slips as he looks to run through into space.

    Frantic!

    Salford 12-14 Warrington

    Jake Mamo misjudges Salford's goal-line kick and spills it to knock on.

    The Warrington man has been so good of late, but that's a bad error and he looks disappointed.

    Salford are doing everything right so far.

    What a try!

    What a start from Salford! Krisnan Inu picks up the ball in midair from a Kevin Brown kick and grounds it in style.

    There's still two points in it as Inu fails to convert his own try.

    Tim: Next try is absolutely huge. I think Salford have managed the conditions marginally better but we’ve had the quality to score tries. Warrington need to cut down the silly errors which are inviting Salford in. I’m very glad I’m sat at home in the warm and dry watching this!

    Salford have gone in head first to try and get themselves back into this game as Warrington take a six-point lead into the break.

    "The last five or 10 minutes has been all Warrington, so to just be six points down they will take that.

    Krisnan Inu

    Offside is given against Warrington right in front of the posts as Salford immediately try and catch them on the hop straight after Blake Austin's try.

    Krisnan Inu opts to go for the two and makes no mistake right in front of the sticks.

    Not a lot in this game, really.

    Austin restores Warrington advantage before half-time

    Anthony Gelling weaves his way through the Salford back line and almost squeezes over.

    There's a set restart soon after and Blake Austin goes over!

    That has totally come against the run of play but at an advantageous time for the holders.

    Gareth Widdop adds the two.
