Blackburn attack
21. Gent gets down the left and after a bit of trickery delivers into the box. Dack is lurking but it’s over his head at the back post.
Leeds come forward
23. Sums up the night so far. Leeds have a promising chance, Miller and McKinstry cause an overload on the right but the ball from the former to the latter is short and poor. Cleared away.
Leeds yet to get going
25. Not much to report, really. Leeds yet to test the goalkeeper. Miller looking the most dangerous but very little to shout about.
Blackburn chance
26. A great chance for Rovers to double the lead. McKinstry loses the ball on halfway. Vale comes forward, he’s patience and picks a ball across the box. It’s played back to McBride but he can only shoot into the sidenetting.
Leeds attack
27. Jenkins drives into the Rovers box but he’s crowded out before he can get a shot away on goal. Three defenders around him.
Leeds attack
28. Good work from McCarron on the far side. He goes in and out before standing a ball up to the back post but it’s just too high for Miller.
Blackburn double the lead
31. Harlock races forward, he plays a one-two with a team-mate and gets into the box. His low shot finds the back of the net. Leeds didn’t track the run.
Leeds attack
35. Leeds trying with all their might to muster a response. It’s already a big ask. Miller into the Rovers box but he’s met by a great tackle from Gent.
