    Wigan 20-30 Leeds

    There is just over 20 minutes left, and Wigan have real work to do if they are going to try pin Leeds back now.

    Both sides are coming up with some huge hits.

    Liv Whitehead is the latest to be floored, and the medics are on to check her over.

    She seems okay to continue and Leeds carry the ball over the halfway line.

    Too easy for Leeds.

    Wigan are looking tired. They have been outstanding, in terms of defending, if they are going player for player, they need to be tighter.

    Leeds have put a bit of daylight between themselves and Wigan now.

    Lucy Murray shows great composure and strength as she palms off a tackler to crash over the line.

    And Ruby Enright makes it a 10-point lead with the conversion.

    The Rhinos are on the charge, you feel.

    Jenna Foubister looks to be in some real pain for Wigan.

    She is caught awkwardly as she helps bring Caitlin Beevers down close to the line.

    Foubister limps off with a knee injury.

    Great kick by Butcher, she plays it perfectly. Enright was in the right place at the right time.

    Wigan are looking tired defensively.

    Leeds wrestle the lead back once more.

    Lucy Murray makes some hard metres down the right for Leeds, then Hannah Butcher clips a smart cross-field kick for Ruby Enright to clutch about 12m out.

    She has clear air to run into and goes over right near the posts.

    She then steps up to add the extras with the conversion.

    At this rate, I'm surprised when a set doesn't finish with a try!

    Both sides have started this second half with plenty of energy.

    More real soft defence from Wigan. They'll be disappointed They know they can do better.

    Great try by Butcher.

    Hannah Butcher

    Leeds hit straight back.

    Both sides are gifting opportunities with errors deep in their own own half.

    This time it's Hannah Butcher who makes the most of it. She runs at an angle to the right, throws one dummy then a second and slices through the gap to make it a two-point game again.

    Ruby Enright misses with the conversion, so Wigan maintain a slender lead.

    A penalty for a high hit sees Wigan kick for touch and set their attack on the 10m line.

    Jade Gregory-Haselden takes a pop pass from Isabel Rowe, and when she looks to be wrapped up in a tackle she spins out of it and scampers over the line.

    Wigan lead again and Emma Knowles adds to the advantage from the tee.

    It's great to see that Isabel Rowe have come back out for the second half.

    She has been cleared to play on after a head injury assessment.

    And she will have a chance to try impose herself on the game quickly, as a knock-on as Wigan deep in Leeds' half and on the attack.

    This is not the only rugby league we have on the BBC today.

    There will be live text, radio and TV coverage of that one from 15:00 BST.

    I've been really impressed with Wigan; they've shocked Leeds but defensively, if they want to get to Wembley, they need to improve.

    Leeds are scoring too easily.

    Nothing separates these two sides after 40 minutes.

    Wigan will no doubt head back to the changing rooms frustrated after allowing Leeds the chance to draw level through Zoe Hornby's try just before the break.

    Great try by Zoe Hornby.

    She's so physical. Disappointing from Wigan; they had enough numbers to deal with that.They've just got to be stronger.

    Zoe Hornby, conversion Ruby Enright

    Leeds make the most of the Wigan error and gifted set close to Wigan line.

    The Rhinos set themselves up well just short of the whitewash, then Zoe Hornby bulldozes over the line and right under the posts.

    Ruby Enright has an easy kick to level just before the break, and hits the mark.
