As it happened: Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Preston North End

Riis gets his first sight of goal, trying to find the top corner form the left hand corner of the 18-yard-box but it’s high and wide.

McCann picks up a loose ball on the edge of the box but doesn’t get it right with his strike and it’s wide of Pears’ left post.

Buckley collects Greg Cunningham’s header away from a cross but his effort is smothered at source and it trickles towards Iversen.

Lenihan is booked for a cynical foul on Browne as the PNE skipper looked to break into the home side’s half.

Blackburn have a break as they win possession high up the pitch but it comes from the ball getting stuck in the water and then under McCann’s feet.

We could easily see a goal come from the conditions.

Earlier, Emil Riis was nearly played through on goal by Alan Browne but for the ball getting caught up in the water.

Ched Evans plays a stunning ball from just inside the right sid eof the Rovers half to pick out the run of Alan Browne, he checks inside and drags his effort past the post back across his body.

PNE get the game underway!

Both sides are out now, kick off imminent!

Both sides are out now, kick off imminent!

The warm ups have been completed here at Ewood, the pitch is absolutely soaked too.

The ball isn’t bouncing much nor is it rolling right, but that won’t stop the game from kicking off in a few minutes.
