They didn’t need that Leeds.

They needed to put pressure on the Saints line.

Unfortunately there they’ve come up with a mistake.

He loses his footing and on the way down he loses possession.

Oh, it all goes wrong for Leeds as Liam Sutcliffe slips and knocks on under pressure from Konrad Hurrell.

St Helens celebrate like it's the final hooter.

Saints will have to do without early try scorer Matty Lees, who is off for a head injury assessment.

They then concede another penalty for offside and Leeds will try again.

Well, Leeds are not giving this up without a fight. Tom Briscoe and James Bentley both go for the line but are denied.

But Leeds are awarded a penalty. They will have another set within 10m of the Saints line.

So what do Leeds have left in the tank? They have put in massive efforts to win at both Catalans and Wigan in the play-offs.

You sense they need to score next - but they're up against Super League's meanest defence.

St Helens have started the second half in much the same manner as they did in the first - with a barnstorming dash to the line.

That is some immense strength from Konrad Hurrell to ground the ball over the line.

I can only dream of such strength, I'm afraid.

The Tongan powerhouse!

He has somehow manufactured a way to reach his arm out and score.

He had no right to score that.

Konrad Hurrell goes over and a try is given on the field. Are St Helens about to extend their lead?

It's St Helens who enjoy the first sustained spell of attacking at the start of this second half.

And they win a repeat set and probe, and probe again.

The sides feel each other out in these early second-half sets. Who will blink first?

Leeds kick off, attacking the end of Old Trafford where their fans are seated.

The next 40 minutes will decide who will be Super League champions in 2022.

Rhyse Martin's conversion just before half-time was his 37th consecutive successful kick. That's some hot streak.

It's worth remembering that Leeds trailed at Wigan at half-time in the semi-finals but came out swinging after the break to turn the game on its head. And they scored just before the break at the DW Stadium too.

The Rhinos have great momentum after ending the season with 11 wins in 13 games before tonight.

But this is St Helens we're talking about. The champions three times in a row.

What a second half we have in prospect.

While both sides are taking a breather and recharging for the second half, do you fancy testing your brain power?

That's been coming. Leeds have regrouped and have looked a different side in the aftermath of conceding that penalty from Rhyse Martin's tackle on Jonny Lomax earlier.

I suppose you could say as Martin tipped him over, that was the tipping point.

And at what an opportune time that try has come as well, right before the break.

Rhyse Martin's conversion is the last play of the half as the hooter sounds.

For long spells during that first half, Leeds were hanging on as St Helens threatened to cut loose after those tries from Matty Lees and Jon Bennison.

But, as at Wigan last week, the Rhinos defended resloutely and that try from Kruise Leeming means they only trail by six points at the break.

What a try for Leeds! It’s Kruise Leeming just before half-time.

What a time to score!

The captain strikes for Leeds.

It's game back on.

Leeds think their pressure has told...
