    Wigan 40-10 Hull KR

    Wigan are set to rip the Challenge Cup out of the hands of Hull KR, who still have a trophy cabinet to be rather envious of.

    Will the Warriors be back for more come October?

    The video referee has got to be quicker.

    It just drains the game, it kills the game.

  3. Watch: Keighran's quickfire doublepublished at 16:57 BST

    Wigan 40-10 Hull KR

    Adam Keighran's quickfire double after half-time put this game out of Hull KR's reach.

    He's added 10 points with the boot too.

    Well, humiliated in Las Vegas and humbled at Wembley.

    One thing you have to admire watching this game is the fitness of the referee. He doesn’t get a rest and has to always be up with play. Which is exceptional in these conditions.

    Luke Thompson, goal Adam Keighran

    It's given - Wigan have their seventh try of the day! And Luke Thompson gets his moment at Wembley.

    It's more good work from the returning Bevan French - who rips the ball out of the grasp of Jack Broadbent and Wigan build.

    Zach Eckersley strides forward before popping the ball off to Thompson who has the simplest of tasks to dot down.

    Adam Keighran gets Wigan's 40 up with the boot.

    Hull KR are resilient and credit to them, they've kept playing to the very end but they've been second best, ultimately to a very, very, very good Wigan side.

    Try given - and it's a superbly taken try as well!

    It may be just a consolation but Peta Hiku does brilliantly to hold off some scrambling defending and dive over in the right corner.

    Rhyse Martin shows his class by adding the extras from touch.

    Peta Hiku and Hull KR think they have their second try of the day but this one will go to Video Referee Chris Kendall.

    A try has been given on field.

    Bevan has sent Wigan into heaven.

    The Warriors in complete control and I can't imagine that anyone would have expected a scoreline like this.

    A perfect afternoon for the Wigan Warriors.

    Back on the pitch and immediately back on the scoresheet - Bevan French!

    There won't be a more popular try scorer in Wembley today.

    But this try wouldn't be without the superb feet of Noah Hodkinson, who weaved in and out and raced 60 yards clear.

    He is eventually caught up by some scrambling Hull KR defending but when the ball is recycled, the fresh legs of French sees him slalom two players in trademark fashion before crashing over.

    Adam Keighran adds two more points with the boot.

    Wigan resting their whole first team in last week's Super League game still leaves a sour taste in relation to today’s cup win, but I’m sure the Wigan fans won’t care.

    Here he is, after tearing his hamstring in March, Bevan French is on for the final 20 minutes of this cup final.

    And seconds into the match he is almost clean through but referee Liam Moore has pulled up play for a forward pass.

    It looked the right call to be fair.

    Disappointment in the Hull KR end but their team have been outplayed in the first hour of this one.

    They need a score immediately to set up what would still be a nervy final 20 minutes to a lot of Wigan fans.

    That is it, that will win the Challenge Cup for Wigan Warriors.

    It’s try number five for Wigan who are running riot at Wembley.

    You have to question the defence. I think they’ve given up the ghost here Rovers but you can’t take too much away from Wigan.

    Three tries, two absolute beauties in terms of kicking and one brilliant run.

    Jack Farrimond's for Junior Nsemba's try earlier on was quite something, but the weight Harry Smith put on his kick for Adam Keighran's first try was sensational.

    And Hull KR left the door open again for Keighran's second as he put in some very intelligent running indeed.

    Wigan, for the second time in a final today, are bossing it.
