Game two clockwatch
All the action as it happens in the second Origin Series match between Yorkshire and Lancashire.
All the action as it happened as Lancashire hang on for a 28-36 victory and beat rivals Yorkshire to the Origin Series title.

2148 BST: The referee blows the final whistle and Lancashire tie up the Origin Series with a 28-36 win.

75 mins: A great chase by Lancashire hooker Terry Newton with only five minutes to go to put pressure on Leon Pryce and prevent him from getting the Yorkshire momentum moving again.

71 mins: A lovely disguised pass from Kevin Sinfield releases John Stankevitch who scores his first try of the game to silence the Yorkshire crowd. Paul Deacon makes the successful conversion.
Yorkshire 28-36 Lancashire

68 mins: A great move from Yorkshire as Karl Pratt bursts though the middle. But Kris Radlinski makes a superb tackle.

62 mins: Yorkshire's incredible second-half comeback continues. A high kick from Danny Orr is knocked down by Kevin Senior to Lee Radford. He releases Karl Pratt who scores his second try. Danny Orr misses his kick, but Lancashire's lead is now only two points.
Yorkshire 28-30 Lancashire

59 mins: A fourth try in 11 minutes for Yorkshire as Karl Pratt races down the left wing to narrow Lancashire's lead even further. Danny Orr kicks his fourth successful conversion.
Yorkshire 24-30 Lancashire

58 mins: Lancashire's Mark Hilton loses the ball at the vital moment and his try is ruled out.

55 mins: Matthew Diskin is in again for Yorkshire as the home team score their third try in seven minutes. Danny Orr kicks the successful conversion.
Yorkshire 18-30 Lancashire

52 mins: Yorkshire continue their recovery. Danny Orr skips through the Lancashire defence before slipping the ball to Matthew Diskin. Diskin puts the ball down right under the posts leaving Orr with a easy kick.
Yorkshire 12-30 Lancashire

48 mins: Yorkshire narrow the deficit. Keith Senior makes a marauding run down the left wing and puts the ball down right underneath the posts. Danny Orr kicks the successful conversion.
Yorkshire 6-30 Lancashire

46 mins: The referee calls for the fourth official as Anthony Stewart capitalises on Mark Calderwood's mistake. But a no try is called as Stewart doesn't have the ball under control.

43 mins: Yorkshire are already showing more enthusiasm, with David Hodgson and Nick Fozzard not afraid to run at Lancashire.

41 mins: Yorkshire coach Brian Noble throws Danny Orr into the action in place of Matthew Diskin.

2105 BST: Yorkshire get the second half under way.


2050 BST: The hooter sounds to end the half, no doubt much to the relief of Yorkshire players and fans alike.

39 mins: Another simple try from Lancashire as Paul Johnson collects Kevin Sinfield's offload. Paul Deacon kicks superbly again.
Yorkshire 0-30 Lancashire

35 mins: The missed tackle count from Yorkshire is 17. They have had only 21% of the possession.

32 mins: Terrible defending from Yorkshire as Terry Newton collects the ball on the left and scores his team's fourth try. Up steps Paul Deacon to kick another successful conversion.
Yorkshire 0-24 Lancashire

27 mins: Good news for Lancashire and Great Britain - Paul Sculthorpe's injury is nothing more than a cut mouth and not a broken jaw as feared. With Lancashire dominating proceedings though, it is unlikely Sculthorpe will be risked in the remainder of this game.

25 mins: Paul Wellens scores his third try of the series. The Yorkshire defence cannot cope with Lancashire's fluid movement. Paul Deacon again kicks the successful conversion.
Yorkshire 0-18 Lancashire

20 mins: A no try as Stuart Donlan touches down, but not before hitting the corner flag with his knee.

16 mins: Stuart Donlan scores a second try for Lancashire after great work from Kris Radlinski and Paul Deacon. Deacon again kicks the successful conversion.
Yorkshire 0-12 Lancashire

12 mins: The video referee is called into action for the first time in the game. David Hodgson scores a try after Paul Johnson loses control of the ball. But the referee says the ball was stolen from Johnson.

11 mins: Yorkshire's Nick Fozzard lifts the home crowd with a great run through the centre, but is tackled by Paul Sculthorpe.

9 mins: Lancashire are showing the better cohesion in the early stages of the game, pinning Yorkshire back.

4 mins: Lancashire's Kris Radlinski scores the first try of the game after collecting the pass from Paul Johnson. Paul Deacon kicks the successful conversion.
Yorkshire 0-6 Lancashire

2 mins: Paul Sculthorpe gets a blow to the head after a collision with team-mate Barrie McDermott and heads off the pitch to receive treatment.

1 min: A high kick from Yorkshire's Leon Pryce, but Lancashire full-back Kris Radlinski claims it.

2000 BST: Match two of the Origin Series gets under way as Lancashire's Paul Deacon kicks off.
