St Helens use their set to march the ball back into Leeds territory.

And then Blake Austin knocks on deep inside his own half, gifting Saints possession and the chance to run the clock down.

The Saints players celebrate. They know they are close.

Just over five minutes left and Leeds will start a set deep in their own territory. They need to get the ball up the other end quickly.

Leeds think they might be in again but referee Liam Moore pulls the play back for a forward pass from Blake Austin to Ash Handley.

That was tight!

Wow! Martin’s been good tonight.

First half and second half he’s made a difference to this Leeds team.

Nine minutes left of your season!

Just under 10 minutes to go. They couldn't, could they?

The Leeds fans aren't going home yet.

Leeds have lost their way a bit and they got stung on their last play.

It's a lot better when Myler gets hold of the ball.

It's just been too slow.

Both sets of fans are enjoying it - they're having a sing-off!

Blake Austin tries to trick his way through for Leeds but is cut down by a BIG hit from Matty Lees.

He's clearly no worse off for that head injury assessment earlier.

It's getting to the stage where Leeds need to score with their next set.

They need three converted tries to force golden-point extra time.

They have a penalty to work with to set up decent field position.

There are 60,783 inside Old Trafford this evening. It's those wearing the Red Vee who are making the most noise as the clock ticks down.

Good stuff from Rhyse Martin but the correct decision was given in the end.

Less than 15 minutes to go. If Leeds can keep working that ball forward, who knows? A try in the next minute or two sure would make this interesting.

It wa given as no try on the field by referee Liam Moore - and the TV replays show he is right.

Rhyse Martin took three St Helens defenders over the line with him as he tried to power his way through - but they managed to keep the ball off the ground.

Hope for Leeds? Rhyse Martin goes over but has he got the ball down?

Zak Hardaker hasn't given up on this yet as he claims a high, hanging kick deep in St Helens territory ahead of Jon Bennison.

But as he crashes to earth, the ball comes loose. Knock-on and the chance is gone.

We're into the final 20 minutes. St Helens are not far away now from becoming the first team in Super League history to win four titles in a row.

And they will be out on their own in terms of the most Super League titles with nine - one more than Leeds.

Leeds have been good at defending the line, they’ve soaked up a lot of tackles.

In the play-off games they have absorbed pressure and found something going the other way but Saints have generally had a little too much for them.

It just makes that hill a little too steep for Leeds even though there is a long way to go.

I'm not sure that really needed to go upstairs to be honest.

Either way, this is quite the lead St Helens have. If Leeds are going to prevent Saints from winning a fourth consecutive Super League title, they're going to need to come up with something right now.

The Saints fans are in raptures. The Leeds fans less so.

Mark Percival goes over for St Helens. This could be four-in-a-row wrapped up.

Now it's Leeds' turned to be penalised in midfield. They will have to defend again.
