Former St Helens and Wigan coach Ian Millward on 5 live: "The collisions early on in this game have been ferocious and both teams' defence so far have been inspiring."

7 minutes: Second bad mistake from the usually unflappable Danny Buderus, spilling the ball as he attempted to play-the-ball following a tackle. The crowd are absolutely loving the bone-crunching tackles as Lee Smith fails to grasp a high ball on his 10m line but Adrian Morley cannot cling on to the loose ball. Genuinely riveting start to the game.

4 minutes: Ryan Bailey uses his incredible upper-body strength to hand off Richie Mathers and cross the tryline, but wonderful defensive play from Louis Anderson, who forces the prop to spill the ball as he attempts to ground it. Pulsating start.

3 minutes: Eat stat: Michael Monaghan could become only the second player to win the Lance Todd Trophy in successive seasons after lifting the award in last year's final. St Helens' Paul Wellens won it in 2007 (v Catalans Dragons) and 2008 (v Hull FC). He also shared the 2007 award with team mate Leon Pryce. And Tony Smith has just revealed it's his parents' 57th wedding anniversary today in between telling BBC reporter Damien Johnson the reasons for dropping Richie Myler. Well done Mr and Mrs Smith. Meanwhile, Leeds are making great strides into Warrington territory.

1 minute: But Leeds atone for the hooker's mistake as Ryan Atkins is bundled into touch from the first tackle by a thoroughly pumped Rhinos defence. Tasty.

1437: And we're off - and a shocker immediately from Danny Buderus, who spills the kick-off on the 10m line. Advantage Warrington.

From BBC Sport's Julian Shea at Wembley: "The trophy itself is on display now down at pitch side - just in case anyone needed any motivation, they can now see what they're here for."

1435: Singer Camilla Kerslake launches into a rousing rendition of Abide By Me, despite suffering a few microphone gremlins. Tremendous professionalism displayed from the 22-year-old. Steve Prescott gives all 34 players and the match officials a warm handshake, accompanied by Leeds president Harry Jepson and Warrington owner Simon Moran.

1432: For those of you whose memories are about as short as Rob Burrow's legs, my colleagues have done a lovely little video package of how both teams reached the final, while match official Richard Silverwood, who will have more on his plate than Adrian Morley at an all-you-can-eat buffet, offers his views about officiating the prestigious final. Meanwhile, Warrington's Ryan Atkins be making his first trip to Wembley not only as a player but as a fan too. "This now is the biggest week of my career, it's nerve-wracking and it won't hit home that I'm playing until I walk around the stadium for the first time," said the centre. Mewanwhile, if you haven't done so already, I would strongly urge you to watch Paul Fletcher get well and truly smashed by former Man of Steel Paul Sculthorpe. Fletch is still struggling to put his vertebrae back in order.

From BBC Sport's Ged Scott at Wembley: "Just got a quick glimpse of the Leeds team leaving the dressing room on the TV monitor. And i'm still marvelling at Jamie Jones-Buchanan's facial attachments... Surely the most celebrated pair of mutton chops since Amos Brierley was behind the bar of The Woolpack in Emmerdale?"

1425: Another rugby league-related cause to tell you about is the Garry Purdham Memorial Trust. The former Workington forward was one of 12 people shot dead in Cumbria by gunman Derrick Bird in June. In memory of Purdham's tragic passing, there will be a game between Cumbria v England at the Recreation Ground in Whitehaven on Sunday 3 October, kick-off at 1500 BST. All proceeds will go to the Memorial Trust. Hope you can make it.

1421: Pseudomyxoma peritonei is not a word I utter frequently, but this afternoon former St Helens full-back Steve Prescott will be paraded around Wembley as guest of honour in a bid to raise awareness of the debilitating disease that has affected him. "I don't know what I'm going to say to the players," said the 36-year-old. I don't think it will be you lost for words Steve...

1418: A few big calls from Leeds coach Brian McClennan, leaving out New Zealand forward Ali Lauitiiti and winger Scott Donald, with Ryan Bailey and Lee Smith at prop and wing respectively. Warrington have had a reshuffle with prop Gareth Carvell returning, while stand-off Richie Myler is dropped.

1414:The teams are in:
Leeds: Webb, Smith, Delaney, Senior, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Buderus, Bailey, Clarkson, Jones-Buchanan, Sinfield. Replacements: Diskin, Eastwood, Kirke, Ablett.
Warrington: Mathers, Hicks, King, Atkins, Riley, Briers, Monaghan, Morley, Clarke, Carvell, L. Anderson, Westwood, Harrison. Replacements: Wood, Solomona, Higham, V. Anderson.
Referee: Richard Silverwood (Dewsbury)

From Carl on 606 "I have read a lot in the build up to this game about the absence of Jamie Peacock, but I think this is being blown out of proportion completely. Yes his loss would be a blow to any team but it is not terminal, Leeds beat Warrington earlier in the season when they lost him after seven minutes so they dealt with the Warrington presence well enough without him then and at the end of the day this a final so both teams will be aiming to be on their a-game. I am going for a Leeds win but you'll hear the reason's for that in an article later this evening."

1407: So where is this game going to be won and lost? So far it's advantage Leeds having won their two Super League matches this season, although Warrington are one place above them in the Super League in third. It's a 1430 BST kick-off, so just over 23 minutes to kick-off so let's have your thoughts about the game, the personal duels everything else in between on 606 or text 81111 (UK) or +44 7786200666 (worldwide) with "RUGBYL" as the first word. PS - apologies if your auto-refresh was not refreshing, it has refreshed itself and is refreshing without any problems.

From BBC Sport's Ged Scott at Wembley: "My first time at the new Wembley, having been a regular visitor to and a big fan of the old ground. Having spent half an hour trying to find the press entrance and get one of the lifts to work, all I heard outside the ground was groaning and moaning, mostly because of the catering prices. However, once inside, the mood among the fans seems a lot happier - and it's party time!"

1400: The Challenge Cup has been somewhat of an enigma for the stalwarts from west Yorkshire - their last victory was 11 years ago when Adrian Morley helped Leeds beat London Broncos 52-16 at the former Twin Towers of Wembley. "Moz" packs down against his former team this afternoon, guided by former Leeds boss Tony Smith, who was in charge at Headingley for four seasons but, after a stint as Great Britain coach, is now presiding over the Wolves. The Wire are appearing in their 15th final and have hoisted the famous piece of silverware on six occasions.

From 5 live's George Riley on Twitter: "Sea of colour at Wembley, it's already buzzing, some great attire, think I'm the only man not dressed as a cheerleader."

1350: Defending champions Warrington Wolves, them of the 25-16 victory over Huddersfield last year, take on 13-time winners Leeds in the 108th Challenge Cup final at Wembley. Even the weather's perked up at the prospect of a sizzling encounter in north-west London.

1345: So who would win in a fight between a Rhino and a Wolf? If, like me, you ever ask yourself these sorts of pointless questions while taking sips of hops-based beverages (along with debates about whether it's appropriate to text or phone while incapacitated on the porcelain throne), then today is a truly momentous occasion.
