Castleford holding firm with wave after wave of Warrington attack.

Blake Austin thinks he's in but Jordan Turner does brilliantly to deny his opposite number.

Castleford need to make sure the guys on the field don't get on top of them because Warrington have some big, big guys.

Beautiful footwork from Derrell Olpherts, Ronaldinho would be proud of that one.

Gareth Widdops looks to collect his own kick, but Olpherts reads it well, dinks the ball over the Warrington player and catches it nonchalently.

Showboating.

Derrell Olpherts nearly in in the right-hand corner but just cannot gather.

Daryl Powell drops his head, he knows that was half a chance.

Don't let it bounce, DON'T LET IT BOUNCE!

That's the first thing you learn in sport, isn't it??

Josh Charley decides to leave a kick which bobbles back into play and Stefan Ratchford has to come across to help out his team-mate.

Tell you what, this match has started at a break-neck pace.

Can't see that continuing in this heat.

Baking out.

That nearly paid off. You have to take some risks in these big games.

Castleford playing for territory, Jake Trueman with a kick into the corner and the Wire have a restart deep in their own half.

Good start from both sides, Blake Austin with a nice little dink into the corner but Niall Evalds is wise to it and plucks the ball out of the air ala Gianluigi Buffon.

You can assess the excitement levels by how much Matt Newsum is growling on comms.

He's on around five on the growl-o-meter already.

Warrington boss Steve Price tells BBC Two: "It would be very special to get back to Wembley, we have a good opportunity today and looking forward to the challenge. The players have been playing good footy of late.

"It is flowing at the moment and some good rhythm, I would like to see that to continue today.

"Next year is next year, just looking forward today to put in a solid performance.

"The Challenge Cup is very special to us as a club, we enjoy playing in it."

Dave Hollywood: Try was not against the rules but he showed no sportsmanship and a lack of honour and integrity.

Steve Roberts: For all those fans who say Theo Fages did the wrong thing, have never played sport at any level.

The controversy from the first semi-final rumbles on.

It is a unique challenge for Daryl Powell, the players will be motivated and he has been one of the best coaches of the last 10 or 15 years.

He has good knowledge of the game and gets the best out of his players.

Daryl Powell will be feeling well weird today.

He's got the chance to send his future employer out of the competition.

Castleford coach Daryl Powell admits his "eyes rolled to the top of my head" when the Challenge Cup draw paired his current club with Warrington - the team he moves to next season - in Saturday's semi-final.

Powell will take the reigns at the Wire for the 2022 campaign. But he's determined to leave the Tigers on a Wembley high, even if that means ruining his next club's dreams.

"I predicted it really, I felt that would happen," he laughed. "It presents its own challenges. But I'm the coach of Castleford Tigers, my commitment is 100% to this club, and that's how it will stay for the remainder of this season."
