As it happened: Accrington Stanley 1-1 Preston North End

Fans are back at a football ground, there is a fan zone, pay on the day - it should be an afternoon to enjoy for PNE!

PNE Starting XI: Rudd, Storey, Lindsay, Hughes, Barkhuizen, Ledson, Whiteman, Browne, Cunningham, Riis, Maguire.

Alan Browne is back for the first time in pre-season, starting in the heart of midfield alongside Ledson and Whiteman. A formidable trio.

North End’s trialist is out warming up with the players - for the rumours going around, it’s not Wilfried Bony.

Today’s subs have their place in the stand turned extended subs bench, Frankie McAvoy will now be giving his final words before the starting team emerge and we can get going at the Wham!

Accrington get the game underway!

Both sides have set up in a 3-5-2 formation for today’s game.

Charles is halted by Storey down the left channel.

Hughes does well to nod the ball away.

Ryan Ledson attempts a free kick from a tight angle after Cunningham was brought down but it’s tipped over the bar.
