1' - We are underway on the South Coast!

2' - We've got a really early injury break here after a hefty collision involving Izzy Brown and Jeff Schlupp. Let's hope both of them are going to be alright to continue.

3' - Brown and Schlupp are both back on the pitch and look to be running freely. Happy days.

6' - Ok, maybe it's not so 'happy days' for Izzy Brown. He's just limped off and been replaced by Sam Baldock.

It's been a bit stop-start in the early stages and there's not been too much to shout about in terms of on-field action.

9' - Gaetan Bong's cross is met in the box by Solly March but his header is poor and Wayne Hennessey makes a routine save.

13' - Jeff Schlupp is replaced by Pape Souare for Palace after failing to recover from that early injury sustained in a collision with Izzy Brown.

14' - Bakary Sako does really well to beat his man down the right wing before firing in a low shot from a tight angle. Tim Krul spreads himself well though and makes the save.
