    And Leeds knock on in their own half.

    The red and white ribbons must be close to being readied.

    Leeds look a little bit deflated at the moment and they need a good kick and do some defending.

    Is that Challenge Cup glory for St Helens?

    Caitlin Casey is penalised for a late hit on Faye Gaskin. Saints opt for the kick at goal and Amy Taylor nails it.

    Leeds need three tries in the last 15 minutes.

    Leeds 8-20 St Helens

    It's getting to the stage where Leeds need to be perfect in attack and defence if they want to win the Challenge Cup.

    Saints have the ball in the opposing half.

    We're almost heading into the final quarter and the scoreboard is Saints' friend as they keep the Rhinos out.

    The Yorkshire side have to start a new set from their own half as they rob Saints skipper Jodie Cunningham of the ball.

    Leeds regain the possession and on the sixth, Caitlin Casey's grubber kick is booted out by Zoe Harris.

    Successive sets should help the Rhinos to build pressure.

    Great grab by Amy Taylor as she denies a pass reaching Sophie Robinson close to the tryline.

    That's the sort of defensive contribution you need to win a big final.

    Leeds prop Zoe Hornby is on the touchline warming up, indicating that she wants to come back on.

    That would be a boost as the Rhinos look to get back into this final.

    She'll enjoy that, she showed a lot of strength to get the ball over the line.

    It's Shona Hoyle, the England international, and her signing has paid dividends.

    There's enough shirts in and around the corner but it's Hoyle who gets the ball down over the line and it's a brilliant try.

    Superb response from St Helens!

    Faye Gaskin with a gorgeous kick that Shona Hoyle catches and powers over from five yards.

    The England international was unstoppable from that range.

    Leeds 8-16 St Helens

    Those two missed kicks from Ruby Enright have not been easy, but four more points would have made a huge difference to this scoreline.

    As it is, Saints still lead by more than a converted try.

    It's quality play by Caitlin Beevers. She had it all to do and people yo beat. You could see her looking over her shoulder seeing what way she needed to move her body to avoid the tackle.

    That's what Leeds are good at and what they need to stick doing. For me they've defended well and left Saints with no options and turned defence into attack.

    That came from nothing and was an individual outstanding try.

    Caitlin Beevers! That is an outstanding score!

    Ruby Enright makes metres from full back. The ball is worked quickly to Beevers, who senses a gap and switches on the afterburners.

    The centre scorches through the defence to score - just what Leeds needed.

    But Enright can't add the conversion.

    The sunshine has emerged at Wembley.

    Playing in this stadium is energy-sapping enough without the temperature going up.

    Will that have a bearing as this half wears on?

    For St Helens, they will want 40 minutes of the same.

    For Leeds, they need the best 40 minutes of their career.

    Away we go!

    To have your first Challenge Cup final in a stadium like this does take its toll.

    Saints will find a weakness and punish you.

    Leeds have taken two massive hits with Danielle Anderson and Zoe Hornby going off.

    Fingers crossed it's not too serious and maybe we can see them in the second half as they're the types of forwards who get metres in the middle and that's where Leeds need to focus.

    The first half was really tough but it's not a surprise. The occasion takes some energy out of you.

    We composed really well and scored some good tries.
