Shrewsbury really should have four.

Arsenal loanee Ismeal Kabia goes clear one-on-one and tries to go round Shields' Jasper Sheik but the keeper spreads himself and makes a great save with his feet.

The fourth official's additional time board looms.

Persistence from Will Jenkins who doesn't give up on a lost cause and manages to win a free-kick for the home side.

Sean McGurk stands over it and it is flicked to the back post but good defending means the ball goes out for a goal-kick to Shrewsbury.

Was that South Shields' last opportunity to set up a nervy final five minutes plus additional time?

Substitution time and each manager makes a change.

South Shields' goalscorer Luke Woolston is replaced by Todd Alcock for the last 10 minutes, while Josh Ruffels is off and Harrison Biggins is on for the visitors.

There are 10 minutes to go plus additional time and Shrewsbury look more of a threat at the moment.

The ball is pulled back to Josh Ruffels but the midfielder sweeps the ball with his left foot over the bar and out of the ground.

We need a player just to be composed on the ball. Tommy McDermott can to a lot, lot more for me.

He needs to do better, he needs to get on the ball because he can have a real influence on this team.

Lovely move from Shrewsbury as Mal Benning finds George Lloyd in the middle with his head but the striker's header goes just over.

The assistant referee had his flag up so it wouldn't have counted anyway and Lloyd kicks the advertisement boards in frustration.

The ball finds Mal Benning on the left for the visitors and he tries to cut across his shot but the ball goes harmlessly wide of the right-hand post.

South Shields have had 72% of possession but it has mainly been in front of the Shrewsbury defence.

The visitors still pose a threat on the counter-attack. 15 minutes plus additional time left.

Moments later, half-time sub David Carson is booked for a lunge on the halfway line.

He becomes South Shields' second man to receive a yellow card.

South Shields almost hit the self-destruct button.

I was just saying about Jasper Sheik's need to get the ball forward quicker and, on this occasion, he plays the ball under no pressure straight to Shrewsbury's Tommy McDermott.

He goes under a challenge in the box but is booked for simulation.

Repays suggest it was the right call.

Can they get back into it? We've got 25 minutes left.

That was a lovely move. It just took a deflection, the keeper couldn't get anywhere near it, and the crowd have come alive.

It will be interesting if they could get another goal.

Shrewsbury close to a fourth.

Tommy McDermott strikes across goal from just inside the box with his left foot but it is well met by the left arm of Jasper Sheik.

Closest we've come to a goal in the second half.

It's getting tougher for South Shields to get out of their own half.

Shrewsbury now realise at 3-0 up they can just enjoy it and relax.

Ismeal Kabia tries his luck from range for the away side but his shot is comfortably gathered by Jasper Sheik.

Double change for South Shields as Dan Dodds and Caden Kelly come off and Sean McGurk and Dan Ward are on.

The Salopians respond and two-goal Anthony Scully and booked captain John Marquis depart for Luca Hoole and George Lloyd.

Dan Dodds gets to the byeline but dinks his cross straight into the welcome arms of Shrewsbury keeper Will Brook.

[Midfielder] Josh Ruffels has had a very good game. I think there's a lot more to come from him once he gets comfortable and gets to know how the players play.

He'll be a really good addition for Shrewsbury and he's slotted in well in the centre of the park.

South Shields keeper Jasper Sheik is continuing to play the ball short with passes into midfield.

While it looks good, and has been a route to their success in the league, you can't help but feel they should get the ball forward a bit quicker.

A long diagonal ball finds South Shields' Dan Dodds, who crosses but it is met by a terrific clearing hearer.

Oliver Bainbridge looks to put the ball in the box from the other side but again it is cleared away from danger by Shrewsbury.

A little bit of pressure from the hosts for the first time in a while.
