York get a penalty for holding on.

Time to take a quick breather in this relentless second half.

Another lovely linebreak from Wigan's Jenna Foubister and she thinks she's clear. York get back to her and then Wigan move the ball right.

Cerys Jones is so close to going over on the right edge but again York stop her just a metre out from the line and we have another handover.

York living precariously but their scrambling defending has been outstanding today.

York putting their bodies on the line here. More gutsy scrambling defending sees a Wigan set of six come and go without points on the board once more.

Savannah Andrade, what a tackle.

Wigan's Molly Jones is bulldozed backwards by the York second-rower.

A kick behind is then knocked dead and Wigan will get the ball back from a goal-line drop out.

A brilliant run from Bethan Dainton for Wigan.

She charges down the centre as Savannah Andrade makes the recovery tackle for York.

We're back to the gunslingers scenario, they're just starring down the barbell at one another.

It's defence dominated. Which defence is going to crack first?

In this second half Wigan have come out with renewed vigour and they certainly have a little bit of wind in their sails and they've been the better side in this second half up to now, but the Valkyrie are keeping them out.

Unnecessary from Izzy Brennan who piles in on the Wigan ball carrier and York concede a penalty.

It's been a breathless first 15 minutes of the second half despite the scoreline not changing since half-time.

Wigan have improved since Eva Hunter's re-introduction from the sin-bin.

This time it's Eboni Partington who holds Wigan up. Her last ditch challenge stops Grace Banks.

Wigan hammering on the door now though. A kick to the corner from Isabel Rowe is then brilliantly claimed in the air by Partington, who brushes past Anna Davies, and York get the ball back.

Wigan have had all the pressure in this second half. It was very much the boot on the other foot in the first half.

Absolutely fantastic from York's Amelie Lenham.

Her last ditch tackle stops Anna Davies in her tracks otherwise Wigan would have had a certain four points and the lead.

Petra Woods then knocks on and Wigan have the ball back in York territory.

Wigan 6-8 York

A strange one.

It looked to the naked eye that Wigan's Molly Jones steals the ball from York's Emma Kershaw but the video referee is unsure. Challenge inconclusive.

Meanwhile, Eva Hunter is back on. Wigan back to 13.

Emma Kershaw is called up for a knock on on the floor by referee Aaron Moore.

York will challenge the call for a potential ball steal.

Wigan's Lucie Sams knocks on under some extensive York Valkyrie pressure.

The moment is celebrated by the York players and they have possession.

Jas Bell takes her eyes off the ball and drops at the vital moment for York when in a strong position.

A rare handling error by the visitors. Just their second of the match so far.

York need to keep up this pressure and keep Wigan in this half.

York so close to extending their lead.

It's a great, powerful burst from Liv Wood on York's attacking left edge but she is held up by some more superb scrambling goal-line defending from Wigan.

It took three players to prevent Wood from scoring there.

And it's a bad start to the half for Wigan. Ellise Derbyshire misjudges a high kick and York have the turnover.

We are back under way at The Brick Community Stadium.
