With two minutes of normal time remaining, Gainsborough's Frank Mulhern goes into the book.

I said don't do silly free kicks and encourage them. Gainsborough - apart from the first 10 minutes of the second half - haven't been in the game.

It's a great run from him. He's got in front of the goalkeeper but should the keeper have come? It's one of them.

It's such a good ball but who's marking Tuntulwana? It's great movement and it's a fantastic header.

Gainsborough have committed more forward and they're having a go at it but Stanley are still comfortable. It was only in the opening 10 minutes where Gainsborough had a couple of chances which they should've done better with, especially that header, but Accrington have got the game under control again.

It's just about being professional, not making a mistake, making sure those passes get where they need, defending right, concentration levels.

Accrington winger Isaac Heath goes into the referee's book.

The fireworks appear to have stopped for now, that went on for a long time though!

Accrington have gone to the bench, bringing off Tyler Walton for Charlie Caton.

Gainsborough make a double change as Sisa Tuntulwana comes on for Javelle Clarke.

He only had one thing on his mind there Shaun. He got onto his right foot and you know what he's going to do.

How many times have we seen him score from that position? Fortunately for the keeper it's hit the outside of the post.

Now that was close!

Accrington's Shaun Whalley smartly cuts inside onto his right foot from outside the box and curls a low effort towards the far corner and it strikes the post.

Gainsborough have a chance at goal as the fireworks show no sign of stopping!

The hosts play a ball into the box where Frank Mulhern glances a header just wide of the target.

Mulhern almost makes a perfect impact having come on at the break to replace Fraser Preston.

That was loud, made me jump!

How stable is that roof? I could've sworn one of them shot it.

I'm not quite sure why but there is a firework display taking place right next to the stadium...

Alongside the shouts from the players, fans and the banging of a drum, you can hear the pops and crackles of fireworks overhead.

You don't get this everyday!

Gainsborough start the half with some intensity and get a free-kick in a dangerous position.

Javelle Clarke made a skilful run down the left and after taking the ball to the touchline got dragged to the floor by an Accrington defender.

The resulting set piece finds a Gainsborough player in the box but is well wide of the target.

Right then, back to the action at The Northolme.

The players are back out and we are ready to go!

Port Vale

Port Vale manager Darren Moore told BBC Radio Stoke:

"It was almost a no-win situation for us today, so it was all about just getting the job done. We spoke all week about that, because we were going to get no favours.

"Credit to Maldon & Tiptree, they came here and didn't want to sit in. We wish them every success in their league campaign.

"When they scored I didn't flinch because we had so much of the game to play. It was better they scored early, and after that the response was swift and clean and we put the game to bed after 20 minutes.

"It shouldn't have to come to that – it was sloppy from us to concede – but we took the game away from them after that.

"At half-time we just wanted to keep the right mentality, and it presented us the chance to give some of them a few minutes with games in the EFL Cup, league and the FA Cup now coming up.

"There was some good finishes, so it's good to have the winning feeling back and get the ball in the back of the net."

Walsall

Player of the match Walsall defender and goal scorer Evan Weir speaking to BBC Two: "It was hard work. We knew coming here it was going to be tough but we're ready for any challenge and that's the team we are."

On his goal: "I was delighted, there was a bit of luck on my side. When doing the set-pieces on a Friday or Saturday, when it happens it happens, and I was buzzing it went in."

Walsall

Walsall head coach Mat Sadler speaking to BBC Two: "I thought in the last 10 minutes of the first half we started to get to grips with it a little bit better.

"There were a few tweaks that we made because you're going to come under the cosh in every single game that you play not least in the FA Cup, and I thought during that spell we were too eager to just go long all the time at that point and we didn't regain the momentum at all in the game. Once we did put our foot on the ball we moved it really well. We've got great group that adjust very quickly and well.

"I have to be very pleased with the performance because the reason why everyone's here is for the upset to happen. There's been some brilliant games over the weekend that we've seen where there's a real sting in the tail. So, I wasn't convinced it was done until it was properly done, so I am pleased with how we did it."

Walsall

Walsall forward and goal scorer Daniel Kanu speaking to BBC Two about his goal: "I'm really happy, getting the assist from Evan [Weir], it makes it easy for me, we work on it a lot throughout the week and we recognise our movements really well and it came off again today.

"It goes back to all the hard work that we put in the week and it's just lovely that it comes off in the game."

On Walsall's form:

"Above everything it was important for us to get a win today. It's been a while since we've won in the league, so this is definitely something we can take into the league now."

Right then, while we have some time let's get some reaction from Walsall's win at Eastleigh earlier today.

We'll also hear from Port Vale after they beat Maldon and Tiptree 5-1.

I think John Doolan will be delighted with the way his team's come here. It's a big home crowd but from minute one Stanley have silenced them.

They've kept possession, dominated and they've scored a good goal. They just need to get that second one and then make it a bit more comfortable but don't in the second half give them [Gainsborough] any encouragement to get back in.

And following that poor free-kick the referee blows his whistle for the break.

Gainsborough started well and looked dangerous but Accrington have shown their quality as the half progressed and are good value for their lead.

Let's see if the home side can get back into the game and cause an upset in this second half or if Accrington will take control of things.

We'll bring you the second half and all it's drama after a short break!
