As it happened: Nottingham Forest 3-0 Preston North End

Ben Whiteman wins the ball in midfield and strides forward, he hits it low and it bounces before reaching Samba but it is comfortable for the Forest ‘keeper.

Jack Colback volleys a clearing header back past the defence and into the back of the net.

McCann is booked for a trip to stop a counter attack.

There will be two more minutes added onto the end of the first half.

Johnson finds Riis down the right, his low cross picks Potts out perfectly just past the penalty spot but his first time effort troubles the second tier more than the net.

North End have it all to do in the second half after a poor opening 45.

The home side took the lead from the penalty spot, Ben Whiteman adjudged to have fouled Johnson as he went to strike the ball, which Grabban duly converted down the middle.

Forest doubled their lead through Jack Colback, his volley from a clearance header quite emphatic as he thumped it back past Iversen from just inside the box.

The second half is underway!

Grabban is booked for a foul on Barkhuizen as the wing back came forward.

Storey is booked for his follow through as he stretched and poked the ball away from Zinckernagel.
