1. We’re underway. Updates to follow...

The hosts take the lead...

2. The hosts score on their first attack... Vale gets into the box and shoots low into the bottom corner. Klaesson well beaten.

6. Disappointing start for Leeds, obviously. But they’re knocking the ball around well. Rovers with the advantage. Couple of free-kicks either way. United yet to work a chance.

7. Rovers work a free-kick. It falls to Gent on the edge of the box and he shoots over the bar. No danger.

9. Klaesson has to save low after a cutback into the area. Dack then shoots at goal, it’s more of a dink and he catches the ball easily.

13. Not much to report, very stop-start in the last few minutes. Miller has started to test Blackburn down the right but still no effort on goal from Leeds. They’re feeling their way into this after a difficult start.

15. More pressure from Rovers being applied... they win a corner on the left after some good work. It’s cleared by Leeds, though.

17. Good work from Miller and McKinstry down the right hand side. They link up well, Bate gets into the area and takes a touch to cross but the ball is out of play before he can get there again.

18. Chapman gets into the area past McKinstry, Moore rushes over to stop him and it’s a corner ball. The cross, though, is fired through everyone and cleared.
