    Sauaso Sue is called up for losing the ball as he is tackled by a combination of three Warrington defenders.

    Hull KR captain Elliot Minchella sends it upstairs for his side's challenge.

    Unsuccessful.

    Play on, Warrington scrum.

    So close for Hull KR!

    A beauty of a grubber kick from Jez Litten.

    It looks perfect but hits the base of the foam padding on the post and Sam Powell is happy to kick it behind for a drop-out.

    That was a poor set from Hull KR. That was a poor kick from Mikey in the end.

    They've got to be better than that.

    They had a lot of tackles there to find something and there didn't seem to be a lot of dynamism in what they were trying to do there.

    Warrington hold firm and Rodrick Tai is rock solid to leap and claim Mikey Lewis' kick on the last.

    What a momentum swing that is!

    What were Warrington doing? There was no communication whatsoever. You've got a prop forward there and a winger, you've got to make it your ball.

    What is going on?!

    Warrington 6-2 Hull KR

    And the magic man Mikey Lewis comes up with something special.

    His goal-line drop-out is massive and is fumbled by wing Arron Lindop deep inside his own half as he spills it out of play and a great field position for Hull KR.

    Marc Sneyd puts in a teasing grubber on the final play and Mikey Lewis is forced to clear the ball behind his own line for a goal-line drop-out.

    Warrington 6-2 Hull KR

    James Gordon
    Commentator on BBC Radio Merseyside Sport

    Mikey Lewis didn't have the ball on the ground, it was almost on his body and when you're being dragged, he was desperately trying not to get dragged behind the line and he's ended up fumbling it.

    Warrington 6-2 Hull KR

    Warrington are jubilant as they force Mikey Lewis to knock on, in a tackle from a trio of Wolves defenders.

    They have a set of six yards from the Hull KR line.

    Warrington 6-2 Hull KR

    A possible sign of frustration from Hull KR as centre Peta Hiku forces a back-of-the-hand pass towards winger Tom Davies, but it goes out of play.

    It feels a bit early to try to force things like that.

    Warrington have just gained a little bit of traction, a burst of energy.

    Hull KR have just got work themselves through this. They've still yet to spend any amount of time in a good ball area.

    Now it's Mikey Lewis' turn to hoist up the high kick.

    Warrington full-back Matt Dufty takes it well, but he is met by a Robins wall in red and white.

    No quarter given yet in this half.

  13. Postpublished at 44 mins

    Warrington 6-2 Hull KR

    Warrington complete their set with a Marc Sneyd kick.

    That is an absolute devil for Jack Broadbent as it spirals over his shoulder and he drops it behind him with Wolves defenders quick to engulf him.

    Broadbent and Joe Burgess can expect plenty more of those.

  14. 'Everyone is just going wow'published at 16:05 British Summer Time 7 June

    You look at social media and everyone is just going wow, wow, wow. It was just such an intense, quality first half of rugby league.

    I expect the same. It's going to be tight and maybe one or two opportunities.

    An intriguing match so far. Lewis has been awful, poor kicking and decision making in a game crying out for high quality tactical acumen.

    Powerful Aussie Jai Whitbread goes on a break on the outside on the last, but he can't find support and Hull KR are smothered.

    Wing Tom Davies is tackled and the ball is handed over.

    A chance to refresh and regroup after a tiring and bruising 40 minutes.

    Who is ready to become a Wembley hero in the second half?

    Jamie Peacock
    Former England captain on BBC One

    When you're an underdog and you're expecting Hull KR to blow Warrington away in the first 20 minutes and it was 0-0.

    Then it's only 2-0 and you're winning 6-2, it gives you a hell of a lot of confidence in that dressing room.

    In these conditions, Hull KR have to chase the score - ideal for Willie Peters.

    Hull KR going out 2-0 up, they can almost defend their way out to a 2-0 win.

    There's a bit of scoreboard pressure now and in these conditions, that can lead to errors, trust me.

    Sam Burgess will be delighted to be going in ahead, obviously, but he'll be delighted with that first-half performance.

    It was tough.
