    Ironic cheers from the Wigan end as Warrington finally get on the board.

  2. try

    TRY: Wigan 42-6 Warrington

    Arron Lindop, goal Josh Thewlis

    Warrington are off the mark! So Wigan are human after all.

    18-year-old Arron Lindop makes an impressive pursuit of Wire captain George Williams' kick to goal and manages to ground the ball before it goes dead.

    Josh Thewlis adds the two.

  3. Wigan 42-0 Warrington

    Matty Dufty claims obstruction in the build-up to Warrington pressing the Wigan defence to try and salvage some pride.

    Referee Chris Kendall tells him to play on and he races through into space and, just before he can make his way over the line, he's tackled and knocks on.

    It's just not going their way, is it?

  4. Wigan 42-0 Warrington

    Commentator's curse, as soon as I mention Wigan's incredible defensive record, Warrington get as close to getting off the mark as they have virtually all game.

    They win two sets deep inside Wigan's 10 but Matt Peet's side have constructed a Cherry and White brick wall and the Wire can't find a way through.

    A speculative kick on the last is scooped up by Wigan full-back Jai Field and cheers go up from the Wigan supporters.

  5. Wigan 42-0 Warrington

    If rugby league's not normally a sport you follow and you're dipping in tonight wanting to know what the fuss is about, firstly, nice to have you here.

    Secondly, some context for you.

    Wigan have conceded just one try in their past EIGHT games. Just in case you were wondering why Warrington are having such a hard time responding to this performance.

  6. Wigan 42-0 Warrington

    Paul Rowley
    Salford Red Devils head coach on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    When Wigan sniff blood and when they see something a little bit vulnerable, well, they're not letting up are they.

    This is a tough school today for some of these Warrington players.

  7. Wigan 42-0 Warrington

    Craig Wall
    BBC Sport, at Allegiant Stadium

    Wigan serenade their players with chants of "campeones". This has been a performance befitting of their world champions tag.

  8. try

    TRY: Wigan 40-0 Warrington

    Luke Thompson, goal Adam Keighran

    Hey! This isn't a live text commentary. It's a list of Wigan tries!

    Luke Thompson is the latest Wigan player to tumble over the whitewash and, typically, it comes following some fine work from the talismanic Bevan French.

    French's pace once again proves too much for Warrington to deal with. Thompson is eventually sent through and Wigan are past the 40-point mark.

    Adam Keighran makes no mistake with the extras. Again.

  9. Wigan 36-0 Warrington

    Craig Wall
    BBC Sport, at Allegiant Stadium

    Warrington fans are not happy with their side’s performance. Lots of finger pointing at the players. Even Wolfie looks forlorn.

  10. Wigan 36-0 Warrington

    Kevin Brown
    Former England international on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It's a great try. Bevan French and Jai Field are lighting up this field tonight and Jake Wardle has the easiest try he will score all season.

    This is dead-set a party now for Wigan. It's not if, it's how many. When Bevan and Field combine there is no better sight in rugby league.

  11. try

    TRY: Wigan 36-0 Warrington

    Jake Wardle, goal Adam Keighran

    Scintillating.

    This is getting ugly for Warrington. Jake Wardle adds his name to the scoresheet, but it's Bevan French who should take the plaudits for this one.

    French ducks, dives and weaves his way into space that objectively Warrington shouldn't allow him to have.

    His fine work eventually sees Wigan work the ball laterally to Wardle and he's sent through to touch down with ease.

    Adam Keighran sends his kick through from an incredibly tight angle to maintain his record with the boot.

  12. Wigan 30-0 Warrington

    Matty Ashton has just spared Warrington from conceding yet another try.

    He makes a desperate dive in goal to stop Kruise Leeming's kick from meeting Bevan French.

    Credit where it's due, that was some good defensive work from Ashton.

  13. Wigan 30-0 Warrington

    Liam Marshall gallops through the Warrington half and attempts to chase his own kick in pursuit of another Wigan try.

    But the Warriors winger can't quite regain the ball and Warrington win the ball back.

    Soon after that however, they kick the ball out on the full and Wigan win the ball back just past halfway.

    Story of the night, really.

  14. Wigan 30-0 Warrington

    Craig Wall
    BBC Sport, at Allegiant Stadium

    Chants of "easy, easy, easy" blare out from the Wigan end. And it’s hard to disagree.

  15. Wigan 30-0 Warrington

    Kevin Brown
    Former England international on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Every pass was on the money. That was sublime skill, sublime attacking play and when Wigan are in this form, everything is on the money, it's so quick and it's so difficult to defend.

  16. try

    TRY: Wigan 30-0 Warrington

    Jai Field, goal Adam Keighran

    The answer is no, Warrington can't take advantage of their set.

    The mercurial Junior Nsemba gets possession back and Wigan brush off another Wire attack.

    No sooner does that happen, Jai Field runs in for another Wigan try. Things really aren't going to plan for the Wire. Liam Marshall is given the time and space to put in a classy offload to Field in the lead-up to the full-back going over.

    Adam Keighran maintains his 100% record with the boot and Wigan are 30-0 up with plenty of time left to add to their tally.

  17. Wigan 24-0 Warrington

    Wigan winger Liam Marshall is held up on the verge of his own in-goal area and his side will defend another Warrington set.

    Can the Wire take advantage having raced out of the blocks in the opening few minutes of this second half?

  18. Wigan 24-0 Warrington

    Those of you reading this who are interested in what the crowd is like - from my untrained eye it does look more full at the start of the second half than it did at kick-off.

    Still a fair amount of empty seats, mind.

  19. Wigan 24-0 Warrington

    Kevin Brown
    Former England international on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    This is a test of Sam Burgess' coaching ability now. What can he do to get this team firing?

    They almost need the perfect half with and without the ball to chase down Wigan who are 24 points in front.

  20. SECOND HALF

    Wigan 24-0 Warrington

    We're back under way at the Allegiant Stadium.

    Can Warrington pull off one of the great Super League comebacks? Or are reigning champions Wigan going to coast their way to a second successive victory in 2025?
