Leigh Leopards very nearly have that quick second-half try they craved.

Umyla Hanley punches a hole through Warrington's defence and links up with David Armstrong.

The full-back then offloads for Edwin Ipape, who very nearly bounces over the try line when the cover tackle comes in to stop him just short.

It's a solid first set from Leigh, and their kick on the last bounces and holds up before Warrington can collect.

It's Warrington's to game to lose.

They only need to maintain what they did in the first half which is a very high standard of rugby league.

Leigh made an incredible start to the game with a try in the first minute.

How they would love to do something similar now...

Marc Sneyd kicks things back off for Warrington...

Warrington have come out first for the second half.

They will want to get the job done after a stunning first 40 minutes.

Action will get back under way shortly.

Leigh Leopards captain Lachlan Lam speaking to BBC Two:

"I don't think early try throws us off our stride, if anything in big games like this we could with it, so it just about how we probably manage the game after that.

"Get rid of the errors, that's the recipe for every games and especially in the big games and that's what we'll talk about at half-time."

Warrington Wolves captain Ben Currie speaking to BBC Two:

"It goes without saying that on a day like this, in the warm weather, you've got to complete your sets and it tires the opposite team out.

"I think we did really well. We had an unlucky start, you can't account for that but we've returned really well.

"The conditions are very tough."

What a brilliant first half of rugby league.

Both sides giving everything.

I think Josh Thewlis will be dissapointed that he didn't get there, caught out by second row.

Leigh Leopards made the fast start with a first-minute try from Edwin Ipape, but Warrington were near irresistible after that.

Sam Burgess' side lead by 11 points at half-time and are 40 minutes from a Wembley return.

Warrington's last-gasp attacking raid to end the half doesn't finish empty handed.

Marc Sneyd positions himself for a easy drop-goal attempt and nails it.

Warrington are again parked on their own line defending when Josh Thewlis comes up with the ball.

He collects the attempted grubber kick through and is off in a flash.

Jack Hughes, however, catches the utility back when a try looked certain. He is eventually tackled when cutting back inside.

Edwin Ipape is a one-man wrecking ball, isn't he!

He has Leigh within touching distance of another try as half-time approaches.

Warrington, however, deal with the danger.

I said the game has been end to end.

Now it has gone from right to left, and just about upside down.

First Matt Dufty breaks away for Warrington and is tackled near the line by David Armstrong.

The ball is shifted from one edge to the other, where Edwin Ipape gets his hands on the ball and threatens to race away.

What a game this is!

Brilliant attack and brilliant defence.

This game has swung from end to end from minute one!

Leigh are desperate to find a way back into the game.

The ball is in the hands of Lachlan Lam, but he losses his grip on what was the final tackle.

Warrington get creative.

A cross-field kick is caught and released by Toby King, with Matt Dufty coming up with the ball.

The full-back then tries to grubber through, but he gets too much on it and the ball runs dead.

Warrington are going through their latest set with minimal fuss and are gifted another penalty.

This time Isaac Liu catches Matt Dufty high with a tackle.

What can the Wolves do with this latest gift?

This Wolves team are playing really well.

They've been primed for this and their performance reflects that.

They've been the dominant team.

Marc Sneyd makes simple work of the penalty to extend Warrington's lead.

He was just 10 metres out and just to the right. Easy stuff for the half-back.
