    Wigan's Harry Smith, player of the match, speaking to BBC One: "It was very tiring, a great effort to graft for 75 minutes, everyone deserves man of the match today.

    "To back it up, make some tough carries and give us something to defend.

    "I want to lead the team and put us in the right areas to win the game.

    "We want to retain it (the Challenge Cup), not many teams go back-to-back so we want to make our own history."

    Wigan's Cade Cust, speaking to BBC One: "The boys just worked for each other for 80 minutes.

    "Non-stop talk, non-stop work. We talked about having pride in the jersey and it feels special to get into the semis.

    "I’m so proud."

    FT: Wigan 14-12 Warrington

    Wigan's Liam Marshall, speaking to BBC One: "Crazy game. Going down to 12 men within six minutes is not ideal in a cup tie.

    "We’ve had two disappointing results but we just fought for each other, it wasn’t pretty but to get over the line in that game is massive.

    "I’m just buzzing to get through to the next round."

    Wigan's Toby King is told by Robbie Hunter-Paul that it's Hull KR in the semi-finals.

    "They've got a great prop in George King," he says with a laugh.

    That's his older brother, if you weren't aware. Brilliant.

    At least one of their teams will be at Wembley on 12 August.

    Riveting from start to finish.

    Wigan started strong then with the red card we thought it would change the game but Wigan had other ideas.

    It was thorough entertainment from start to finish.

    Wigan half-back Harry Smith has been speaking to Tanya Arnold about the extra work he's been doing on his kicking from the tee in recent weeks.

    The one he landed from the touchline after Abbas Miski's try was a blinder, and in the end those two points were the difference.

    Sweet Caroline rings around DW Stadium, which will annoy my brother because he hates that song, but the Wigan fans and players are loving it.

    They're one step from Wembley.

    Wigan see it out and they're through to the semi-finals! Hull KR next up for the Warriors.

    There are some exhausted bodies in that Wigan line-up, what an effort they've given to keep their hands on the Challenge Cup for now.

    Warrington will look at a huge opportunity missed.

    I think the touch judge called it.

    He stopped when the pass went out.

    Josh Thewlis goes over in the corner... celebrations cut short - it's a forward pass!

    Goodness me.

    Somebody get Ben Currie a taxi.

    Its so bad. Daryl Powell is in disbelief.

    Despite how poor they’ve been was that their chance?

    It’s typical of Warrington today that an error like that might be it for them.

    Wigan complete their set with a kick into the hands of Matt Dufty, who returns with interest.

    The Wire get within 20 metres, but then Ben Currie loses the ball!

    A big moment. Wigan breathe a sigh of relief.

    Here we go then.

    Just over five minutes left and Wigan, who have been playing with 12 men since Kaide Ellis' red card in the sixth minute, lead Warrington by two points.

    All three results are still very much possible.

    Josh Thewlis, Stefan Ratchford goal

    Warrington back in it!

    Video referee Ben Thaler confirms Liam Moore's decision that Josh Thewlis has scored for the Wire.

    The only area of contention seemed to be Sam Kasiano's touch from a high kick, which is ruled to have gone backwards. From then on, it was a walk-in for Thewlis.
