Plymouth Argyle vs Preston North End LIVE
KICK OFF! (0-1)
Back under way at Home Park, with no changes made by either manager at half time. A big 45 minutes ahead...
HT: Plymouth 0-1 PNE
A huge chance went begging for the hosts just before the break, as Bundu headed wide from Whittaker's cross.
North End lead through Liam Millar's strike into the bottom corner, on 43 minutes.
It has been a bonkers first half at Home Park, with Osmajic and Potts both forced off early doors and Miller lucky to escape a red for Plymouth.
Before his opener, PNE's number 23 also missed a glorious chance.
Chance for another (0-1)
Frokjaer plays it down the line for Brady and Keane is inches away from latching on to his low cross...
Booking before the goal (0-1)
Mickel Miller may be a very lucky boy. Before PNE's opener, Ryan Ledson was on the end of a late, crunching challenge and the reaction from PNE players told you a lot. Ledson was fine to continue but only after treatment. It was late and high from the Plymouth man.
GOAL!!!!!!! Plymouth 0-1 PNE
Liam Millar rifles home first time after Lindsay's cross found its way to him at the back post! Great finish!
Corner forced (0-0)
Brady sends his free kick into the wall from 30 yards, but lifts the ball back into the box and Cooper slices his punch behind for a corner. Plymouth fans felt it was a foul, but referee John Busby did not. Brady swings his corner in and Storey is there again, from the follow-up. But, it's gathered again by the Plymouth shot stopper.
Scrappy out there (0-0)
The game is being played at a quick tempo and neither side have been able to gain any real control in the match. It's being contested fiercely in the middle of the pitch and both teams are looking for that killer pass in behind the defence. Hardie is the threat for Plymouth, while Frokjaer is looking to provide that creative spark for PNE.
Had to score (0-0)
A massive chance goes begging for PNE. Keane got in behind, played it back to Frokjaer - who could've shot but played it forward to Stewart. The ball ended up back with Frokjaer and he prodded a delightful pass through to Millar, who looked certain to run on to the ball and score. But, his poked effort goes wide. Big miss.
Another injury blow (0-0)
Brad Potts has gone down and is now being forced off. Layton Stewart enters the fray. Liam Millar to right wing-back. Will Keane has also been booked for a high boot.
