    It's a brilliant try with a brilliant kick from Jack Farrimond.

    Never give up on the ball - never ever give up on that ball! And Zach Eckersley finishes with the touch down in the in-goal.

    They've executed plays really well, Wigan. The two times that Wigan have been down there, they've got over the line.

    TRY: St Helens 0-12 Wiganpublished at 30 mins

    Zach Eckersley

    Wigan are given the green light, this try counts.

    A teasing grubber kick is sent through from Jack Farrimond. Adam Keighran has St Helens' Lewis Murphy under pressure as he chases the ball to the line.

    And Murphy's effort to collect bobbles out of his grasp for Zach Eckersley to finish.

    The conversion is missed, but it is very much advantage Wigan right now.

    Wigan might just have done it again.

    The grounding of the ball is sent up to the video referee. I think this one will count.

    St Helens 0-8 Wigan

    For the first time in a while, Wigan have the ball in St Helens' half and look keen to launch an attack.

    It will take something special to land a sucker punch after all the defending they have done.

    St Helens 0-8 Wigan

    That knock-on from Murphy really did release a lot of pressure on Wigan.

    They stomp up field and Harry Smith pings a kick dead deep in Saints' half to earn the Warriors a moment to catch their breath.

    St Helens have let Wigan off the hook!

    Lewis Murphy makes a mess of his attempt to gather the goalline drop-out. The winger knocks on, handing possession back to Wigan just when the pressure was really building.

    Saints are on top at this moment in time.

    Unbelievable goalline defence from Jai Field but St Helens have field position.

    St Helens are not letting up after that try was chalked off.

    They have Wigan pinned back in-goal off the back of a kick, leaving Warriors to restart play with the goalline drop-out.

    After a few ultra slow replays, video referee Tom Grant judges that Daryl Clark failed to get the ball down.

    Have St Helens managed to land a response?

    The replay is sent up to the video referee to look at the grounding of the ball.

    St Helens 0-8 Wigan

    St Helens come centimeters short of grabbing their first try.

    The ball is flung out to the left, going through the hands of Jackson Hastings and Deon Cross before Lewis Murphy is found on the outer edge.

    Wigan scramble in defence and force Murphy to fling a pass out the back.

    The pass is loose and Wigan survive.

    There's some fatigue in both teams, both teams are struggling to get back into shape.

    This is end-to-end stuff at the moment.

    St Helens 0-8 Wigan

    That latest set ends with a high ball that is gathered by Noah Hodkinson in Wigan's in-goal area.

    He has to bob and weave his way back into play, but does well to get there.

    Harry Smith drills a long kick, but it's down the throat of Tristan Sailor.

    The full-back canters up field and Saints are quickly chewing up the metres again.

    Saints are holding firm in defence and manage to put Wigan under pressure again.

    A crossfield kick is sent up, and while the ball squirms away from grasping hands in the air, it's Wigan who come up with it to repel St Helens once more.

    What a tackle! That is outstanding goalline defence from Wigan there.

    Fantastic defending - he just picked him up and drove him.

    St Helens manage to force back-to-back sets, but Wigan are immense in defence.

    Harry Smith lands the tackle of the day so far as he stops a Saints raid out wide.

    St Helens 0-8 Wigan

    Wigan cough up the ball as they try to work themselves out of their own half.

    Sam Walters spills the ball in a tackle, allowing St Helens to set a scrum in a really good position. What can they do from this?

  19. PENALTY: St Helens 0-8 Wiganpublished at 13 mins

    Adam Keighran

    Wigan have opted for the two points.

    Adam Keighran is just to the left of the posts and slots the easiest of conversions to extend the Warriors' lead.

    Wigan will get a shot at extending their lead now.

    Harry Smith chips a kick in behind, but referee Jack Smith blows his whistle as Sam Walters is taken out as he tries to chase it down.
