Challenge Cup favourites St Helens will play surprise semi-finalists Hull in the last four of competition, while Castleford will face Warrington. 

Saints, the Super League champions who knocked out holders Leeds in the last round, gained a 23-18 win over Huddersfield on Friday night, while Hull gained a stunning 20-10 upset win over previously-unbeaten Wigan.

Warrington, the 2019 winners who beat Catalans Dragons 16-6 on Friday, will play Castleford, who needed extra-time to gain a nail-biting 19-18 win over last year's runners-up Salford.

That tie will see Tigers coach Daryl Powell go up against his next employers.
