Rovers get a third...

41. McCarron loses the ball on the far side. There’s some nice play from the hosts who work it into the box, the ball is cut back across the area and Vale cushions a shot home.

44. Hjelde does really well down the left, he beats two or three men before he’s dragged out. The whistle goes as he goes in heavy on a challenge. Rovers not happy but nothing doing. Tough but fair.

Blackburn 3-0 Leeds - half-time score

Rovers well on top at the Lancashire FA. Leeds have got to the final third and stalled so far. Haven’t worked the goalkeeper enough.

Rovers - Dack off, Durrant.

Leeds - Gray on, Mullen.

45. We’re back underway... a better performance required from Leeds.

48. Miller sets McCarron free down the left. He gets to the byline and looks like he’s about to cross but he can’t control. Goal kick.

A fourth for Rovers...

A fourth for Rovers...

Blackburn get a fourth

49. Chapman gets down the left, he lifts the ball to the back post and McBride heads down into the far corner of the net.
