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

Ledson’s cross is deflected behind.

Bishop drags an effort wide of the near post.

Butcher gets onto a loose ball from midfield and drives the ball low at Rudd who saves comfortably.

Ryan Ledson is booked for a high challenge on Joe Pritchard.

North End play some nice football to work their way into the Accrington box but Barkhuizen blazes over on his left foot in the end.

Butcher gets onto a loose ball following an Accrington corner and his shot comes off a teammate and just wide of Rudd’s post.

Riis gets a little room on the right side of the box and drags his shot past the far post.

There will be one more minute added onto the end of the first half.

Ledson lifts a free kick into the area and Lindsay rises highest but can’t direct it goalwards.

North End haven’t been at their best so far but they go in level at the break.

Neither side have had any major chances of note, in a game that does have quite the friendly, building up to match fitness, feel.
