    Elliot Whitehead is unsuccessful with his challenge. A poor call really with no try involved for an incident in the middle of the park.

    Catalans have called for their Captain's Challenge.

    They believe there has been some foul play from Hull KR.

    Video referee Ben Thaler is earning his money this afternoon!

    You've got to take your time with those decisions in a semi-final. Who'd have thought it after 15 minutes? The Dragons look a completely different team.

    If Catalans' first try was a thing of beauty, this is anything but. But it's worthy exactly the same!

    Winger Tommy Makinson sends up a surprise kick on the last tackle to keep an attack alive and both sides compete in the air.

    The key touch is back from Jez Litten and Luke Keary is alive to it to get the loose ball and dive over.

    Hull KR 10-6 Catalans

    Luke Keary thinks he has scored Catalans' second try.

    Referee Chris Kendall does not agree, but he sends it upstairs.

    The game is stopped as Hull KR hooker Jez Litten needs a bandage applying to a cut on his head after a clash with interchange Romain Navarrete.

    Tough game, this rugby league lark!

    Wonderful response from the Dragons. A great attacking play from right to left. Smith scoring right under the posts.

    It is a great show and go from him.

    From nowhere, a wonderful score from centre Reimis Smith.

    Catalans finally get a chance to move deep in Hull KR's territory and they make it count. Theo Fages works the ball to Smith, who does the rest brilliantly!

    He cuts a magnificent line inside that wrong foots three KR defenders and it gives him the angle to find the space and touch it down.

    Hull KR 10-0 Catalans

    Hull KR have been all over Catalans in this opening quarter. One way traffic.

    The French outfit can't get any decent field position.

    From a tight angle out on the left, this time Mikey Lewis sends it through the middle of the posts with a fine kick.

    It is a tough call on the Catalans. In a semi-final you've got to be sure. It is another try for the makeshift centre, Batchelor.

    If the video referee decided the touch was simultaneous, he has to go with the on-field decision.

    TRY - Hull KR 8-0 Catalanspublished at 14:49 British Summer Time 10 May

    James Batchelor

    Right, Mikey Lewis jinks past a couple of defenders, but a yard from the line, the ball is deliberately knocked out of his hand by Oliver Partington.

    From there it is play on, and James Batchelor dives onto the loose ball in conjunction with Matthieu Laguerre.

    A lot to decipher for video ref Ben Thaler!

    But he rules Batchelor was the first to get a touch, so the try is confirmed.

  16. TRY REVIEWpublished at 14 mins

    Hull KR 4-0 Catalans

    Has Mikey Lewis scored Hull KR's second try? It has been called a try on-field.

    Well, it's been called a try - not sure who got it - and there are all sorts of things to check!

    Hull KR 4-0 Catalans

    A handling error from Catalans centre Reimis Smith gives Hull KR a scrum but more pertinently a chance for all the players to take on board some water.

    It's that kind of day!

    The Hull KR forwards have come flying out of the traps in York.

    They've made some big yards with the ball and are not really letting les Dracs make any inroads.

    Hull KR 4-0 Catalans

    Hull KR scrum-half Tyrone May sends up a massive kick to test the aerial skills of Guillermo Aispuro-Bichet on the last tackle.

    The kid is equal to it this time and makes a good few yards with a nice turn of speed.

    The French-Mexican full-back will feel better for that.

    Batchelor is playing in an unfamiliar position at centre. He touches down for the first score in this bouncing, rocking stadium.
