Leeds v Swansea live
Leeds clear
22: Game has settled down a bit now after that crazy start. Very close as to whether James was offside. Would have to see it back. And it also looked a pen for the handball
Cleared - and then superb control
24: From Swans keeper Rushworth to take down a long ball from out of the sky outside his box with a neat touch as Summerville raced in
Swansea survive
27: Nobody in the Leeds box as the cleared corner is worked back in to the area from the other side, a foul then ends the attack.
Good from Gray
30: Blocks a cross from Lowe as Lowe races away down the left, block comes back off Lowe for a goal kick.
