The New South Wales Blues have claimed a 32-point victory over the Queensland Maroons in the second State of Origin contest of the 2022 series.

Here is the game by the clock.

1st minute: New South Wales get off to a strong start in defence, locking the Queenslanders into their own end during the first set of the game. Daly Cherry-Evans is forced to kick from inside his own 30-metre zone.

2nd minute: Queensland follow it up with strong defence of their own, rocking Daniel Tupou and Payne Haas with big hits. The Blues take the first tackle in opposition territory for the contest with Nathan Cleary then bombing to Kalyn Ponga as the contest finds rhythm.

3rd minute: Another kick out of Queensland's own end is charged down, and the Blues march onto the attack with the first raid of the game. A ball to the left found the ground though before bouncing into touch, with Queensland getting off the hook early.

5th minute: The Blues found themselves breaking through the line again as they came out of their own end just minutes later, however, interference from an offside Payne Haas saw Ashley Klein blow for a penalty to the Maroons, handing them an opportunity of their own.

6th minute: Queensland shift to the right-hand side, but can't find space outside Brian To'o, who sends a flying Selwyn Cobbo into touch.

9th minute: The Blues use a captain's challenge on a loose carry from Liam Martin just shy of halfway. Replays appear to show Felise Kaufusi's hand on the ball as Martin heads towards the ground, and the challenge is deemed successful with the Blues winning a penalty to send them back onto the attack.

10th minute: The game is stopped with Cameron Murray sent for a HIA by the independent doctor in the bunker. Angus Crichton comes onto the field, while debutant Murray Taulagi escapes for seemingly making contact with Murray's head in the tackle which had left him on the ground two minutes earlier.

11th minute: Another strip from Queensland sees a penalty dead in front for the Blues. Nathan Cleary lines up the shot from 30 metres out and just to the left, sending it between the uprights for the opening points. NSW 2 - QLD 0

14th minute: The Maroons manage to get off the back foot after a charge down allows Kalyn Ponga to break through staggered defence, before Queensland gain a penalty just a few plays later. The Ponga break also sees his boot make accidental contact with the face of Angus Crichton, who would manage to stay on the park, but was in discomfort immediately.

15th minute: An air swing from Brian To'o trying to clean up a Daly Cherry-Evans grubber sees Selwyn Cobbo bounce the ball in the in goal, with the bunker confirming the call.

18th minute: Jarome Luai looking to attack on the left-hand side of the park out of his own half drops the ball with space, and Queensland's scrum on halfway will allow them to go back onto the attack. Patrick Carrigan is also introduced into the game for Josh Papalii.

22nd minute: A high tackle and penalty given away by Jake Trbojevic sends the Maroons onto the attack yet again.

30th minute: The points began to flow, with Queensland hitting straight back and recapturing the lead on a long-range effort out of their own end down the left edge. A pass back inside for Cameron Munster saw him race away to score. Valentine Holmes converts again. NSW 8 - QLD 12.

34th minute: Damien Cook comes into the game for Apisai Koroisau as the Blues look to get back into the lead. NSW 8 - QLD 12
