Ooh, this is probably the closest Harrogate have come. A good strike from just outside the box by Stephen Duke-McKenna but Dylan Wharton does brilliantly to shuffle across and parry it away for Gainsborough.
A bit of end-to-end as it almost breaks for Gainsborough... Harrogate then manage to pile forward but a cross is deflected straight through to Dylan Wharton in the Trinity goal.
How long until the hosts start getting concerned about a potential 'cupset'?
Just over 10 minutes until the break. That would be a big milestone for the visitors.

Harrogate 0-0 Gainsborough
Paul Robinson Former England goalkeeper on BBC Two
Something to keep an eye on as the game goes on is that Gainsborough have not had a game for two weeks.
The last game that they played was against Chester in the FA Trophy which they won 1-0.
They've had games called off because of the weather in the lead up to this.
Russ Wilcox will be delighted with the way his team have started.
The Gainsborough supporters have travelled in numbers tonight on a cold wet Friday night leading up to Christmas. It's an excellent show from the away fans.

Ashley Jackson is a senior player in the dressing room for Gainsborough with the versatility down that left-hand side but at left-back with that experience that he brings.
Well, it's going better at this stage for Gainsborough than it was in their first-round tie at Hednesford. They were already 2-0 down by this point in that one...

Stephen Duke-McKenna loops it to the back-post for Harrogate but the ref has spotted a foul as it came in... a free-kick to Gainsborough and they can take a breather for a moment.

Jack Emmett Former Harrogate Town midfielder on BBC Radio York
You can tell that Gainsborough started with a lot of energy but you can already tell that Harrogate have got the edge on quality as they're starting to control the ball.
Harrogate are probing well and it nearly pays off after a cross from Stephen Duke-McKenna comes in and Jack Muldoon gets on the end of it from close range but it's blocked. The follow up is also well dealt with.
Some good work by Gainsborough defender Will Lancaster and keeper Dylan Wharton to maintain parity.
Some great defending by Ashley Jackson to prevent Harrogate's Josh Marsh from getting in behind. The Gainsborough full-back does well to slide in and divert it behind for a corner.
A reminder that since Harrogate have been an EFL side, they have won all three of their FA Cup ties against non-league opponents by an aggregate score of 11-3.
That's the task facing Gainsborough if they want to secure a coveted spot in the third-round.
Harrogate are wasting no time in trying to stamp their authority on this tie. The hosts, in their yellow and black home strip, are knocking it about nicely in the first couple of minutes.
Gainsborough yet to really have a touch as Josh March fires well wide from distance for Harrogate, much to the delight of the travelling fans.
