Cork's subs outscored Kilkenny's by 0-11 to 0-1 and that was ultimately the difference in the end. Shane Kington slotted seven of those! What a game that was! Thanks for following it on our Match Tracker.

Cork and Limerick met in a Munster championship semi-final at Thurles on July 3rd. They will collide again in the All-Ireland SHC final at Croke Park on August 22nd!

All-Ireland SHC semi-final full time: Kilkenny 1-26 Cork 0-29 (extra time to be played)

We couldn't have asked for a more dramatic end to this game. What will happen next is anybody's guess.

Kilkenny have done a Kilkenny - from six points down with as many minutes left, they have forced extra time. Mullen with the levelling goal in the fifth minute of injury time after a sublime Padraig Walsh pass. Yes, this one was always destined to go all the way...

Goal!

Coleman collects a dangerous delivery into the Cork goalmouth and it looks like the Rebels have done enough but - wow! - Mullen hammers the sliothar to the Hill 16 net in the 75th minute and we will have extra time - 1-26 to 0-29!

Cork win a '65' off the unlucky Deegan with a minute left and Horgan drills it to the right and wide.

Unbearable tension here as we move into the third of three added minutes. Kilkenny need a goal to save their season.

Eight minutes left. Cork have struck the last five points to take a precious late lead.

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-22 Cork 0-27

O'Flynn penetrates the porous Kilkenny defence and centres towards Cadogan, who first-times the yellow orb over the bar. The pass was just too high for him to find the net. With nine minutes left, Seamus Harnedy fires his opening score. Horgan adds another. Five between them!

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-22 Cork 0-24

Unbelievable pace and a sublime finish from Kingston, who has now registered four times. He looks like a man possessed!

Hook!

Huw Lawlor denies Alan Cadogan what looked like a definite Cork goal but the latter pounces onto the loose ball to nudge the Rebels back in front - 23 to 22!

Defending!

Fifteen minutes left and they are still level...

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-22 Cork 0-22

Cork's second-half substitute Alan Cadogan fires a tame shot straight at Eoin Murphy, who may have got a touch to that earlier O'Connor goal effort too. The latter thumps one over from midfield and the the hard-working Conor Fogarty replies.

That's three points for the Cork manager's son since being introduced! Level again and we stop for the second water break. Which way is this thrilling contest going to go?

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-21 Cork 0-20

What a game. Cody has the Cats back in front and Walter Walsh replaces Alan Murphy on 52 minutes.

Post!

Unlucky for the Rebels as Jack O'Connor's fierce drive comes off the butt of the right post at the Davin End but Kingston latches onto the rebound to slot their fifth successive point. TJ Reid replies from a free and it's 0-20 apiece!

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-19 Cork 0-17

O'Flynn is shouldered out over the sideline by Riche Reid and Horgan bangs over the free, which was as soft and debatable as Kilkenny's last one.

All-Ireland SHC semi-final half time: Kilkenny 0-15 Cork 0-14

Padraig Walsh is booked for the foul that presents Horgan (free) with his tenth point. The sides were level seven times but the half-time whistle sounds with one between them.

Darragh Fitzgibbon gets on the end of a good Cork move and takes a nice score from a central position. Shane Barrett equalises from a tricky angle after great work by Horgan and O'Flynn.

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-9 Cork 0-7

A couple of Kilkenny wides from distance off the hurl of Richie Reid precede a pointed free from TJ Reid, who was fouled himself and pointed from 50 metres.

It's uncanny how these water breaks seem to disrupt the momentum of matches...

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-8 Cork 0-7

Cork have really grown into the game after a shaky start. The water break came at the right time for Kilkenny and Billy Ryan is on hand to edge them back in from with a quickfire brace on 19 and 20 minutes.

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-6 Cork 0-7

The Rebels lead! From play, Horgan fires his fifth score, a classy strike across his left shoulder. Five in a row for the Leesiders ahead of the first water break!

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-6 Cork 0-6

Corner back Niall O'Leary raids forward to tie the scores up with Cork's fourth unanswered point as we hit the 17-minute mark!

Yellow card!

Paddy Deegan was high on Tim O'Mahony with his hurl and could have been sent off on another day. The Cats corner back caught the Corkman in the face. Horgan takes the free from under the Hogan Stand and splits the posts - his third in a row.

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-6 Cork 0-4

Foul spotted off the ball by an eagle-eyed referee and Horgan makes no mistake from what was by his standards a simple free.

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-6 Cork 0-3

The Rebels are living on scraps here so they will welcome that pointed Horgan free in the twelfth minute.

Ooh!

TJ Reid bears down on Cork goalkeeper Patrick Collins but is crowded out by a couple of defenders and penalised for steps. On ten minutes, Cody arrows over his second of the day.

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-5 Cork 0-2

The flying Robbie O'Flynn tears through the Kilkenny resistance and closes the gap but Alan Murphy replies quickly.

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-4 Cork 0-1

All-Ireland SHC semi-final: Kilkenny 0-1 Cork 0-1

TJ Reid (free) slots the first point of the day between the posts at the Davin End, from close to the Cusack Stand. Patrick Horgan replies in kind.

Game on!

Fergal Horgan gets us started! Cork won the toss and are attacking Hill 16...

The teams stand tall for the national anthem, performed immaculately by the Artane Band as the tricolour flutters in the breeze, Croker awash with colour and noise.

Overcast but dry in Dublin 3, with a strong breeze blowing towards Hill 16. Will this match be settled in 70 minutes or is extra time - and maybe even penalties - going to be needed to separate the teams?

This could come down to a straight shoot-out between Patrick Horgan and TJ Reid - which of these ace marksmen will amass the greatest tally in the red heat of Croke Park?

Team news:

Both sides are going to start as selected. Clearly this is not a day for mind games.

This is Brian Cody's 20th All-Ireland semi-final as Kilkenny boss; Kieran Kingston's second with Cork.

Don't forget Kilkenny are hoping to avoid losing out at this stage for the second successive year. They were caught out by Waterford last year, while Cork were beaten by Tipperary in the second round of the Qualifiers.

Clash of the ash

Just over half an hour until throw-in at Croke Park and the tension is really mounting. There is nothing quite like Cork V Kilkenny in hurling. This is one of the fiercest rivalries of all and it will be renewed with vigour today. I'm expecting both teams to explode out of the blocks from throw-in. It's not going to be an occasion for the faint-hearted.

Six years is something of a famine by Brian Cody's standards but the Cats boss is going to be remembered as hurling's greatest-ever manager. Since taking charge of his native county in 1998, he had led the Black & Amber to eleven All-Irelands, including four in a row between 2006 and 2009.

Big guns

The most-recent of Cork's 30 All-Ireland hurling victories was in 2005. Kilkenny's last All-Ireland success arrived in 2015 - their 36th.
