Half Time: Blackburn 0-0 PNE

The best chance of the half came through Ched Evans, meeting a low Ben Whiteman corner to divert it towards goal but for a good save from Pears.

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

Tony Mowbray booked

Tony Mowbray is booked for protests following a drop ball given to PNE.

Whiteman takes a low corner towards the near post and Ched Evans meets it, Aynsley Pears makes a good save and Lindsay couldn’t poke the follow up past him.
