Lucas Joao gives the visitors the lead at the third attempt, all efforts from close range but Joao eventually gets the ball into the back of the net.

Reading get the game underway!

Both sides make their way onto the pitch, kick off just moments away!

Both sides are back in the dressing rooms, taking care of final preparations befor ethe game, with kick off less than 10 minutes away.

It may be freezing and snowy at Deepdale, although it is now sunny in PR1, but Patrick Bauer is just in t shirt and shorts. Rather him than me in the press box!
