Luke Thomas was very unlucky there it has clearly hit his body - he is saying, "Look, it hit my ribs!"

That is an outrageous decision, that should be 2-0 Rovers.

Luke Thomas thought he had a second just a minute later but it looks to have been controversially ruled out for handball.

The ball appeared to hit his hip and then his arm as he closed down the goalkeeper's clearance.

The ball is in the net but Bobby Kamwa is offside.

A warning sign for Bristol Rovers though. Their high line held there but Newport have real pace up front.

The action restarts! Things can only get better...

International break? Not to worry. This is the EFL so there are stories and subplots around every corner.

There might only be six games gone but the heat is already being turned up on the strugglers and you don't have to tell Peterborough's Darren Ferguson and Plymouth's Tom Cleverley that, following considerable investment, they need to start winning.

Meanwhile, Bradford City, promoted in the final seconds of the final day of last season, have the chance to go top of League One as they meet another newbie enjoying life in the third tier, Doncaster Rovers.

In League Two, first against third makes the derby between Gillingham and Bromley that bit tastier, while Walsall and Chesterfield resume battle after last year's play-off semi-final.

You would like to think there is a lot more to come in the second half.

But you have to give credit to Newport in that first half, they really restricted Rovers, especially in possession of the football.

This Newport team have pressed, harried and launched balls, which I didn't think was going to happen in this game.

Bristol are a real possession-based side and Newport haven't given them a sniff of the ball.

I can only think of four or five passages of play where Bristol have been able to cut open the Newport midfield.

All credit has to go to Newport.

With six games gone, how pleased are you with your team's start?

Are they looking good so far, or do the signs suggest a difficult season?

How do you think today will unfold?

Not the best half of football I've ever seen. You can sense the tension and lack of confidence in the air.

Ciaran Brennan's shot at goal aside, there has been nothing of note to report. Newport have held their own and Bristol Rovers have controlled the ball for most of the half but we are lacking on quality.

The first goal could be crucial. More commentary cliches as I think of them second half.

It has been a tough watch at times, there has been no flow to the game, the first half has lacked any quality.

The slightest touch and the players are just going down.

Just over five minutes until the break and we've had one shot on target if you are wondering about the entertainment value so far.

Curse of the text commentator? Macauley Southam-Hales goes into the book for holding back Michael Reindorf.

Rovers are looking to get on the ball a bit more now, and the effort and energy that Newport put in the opening 30 minutes is starting to dissipate.

Bristol look like they are back in the game.

Macauley Southam-Hales got caught in two minds on the right, and his cross was too close to the goalkeeper.

He looked offside to be honest, but more progress for Rovers who now look in control.

But their final ball isn't there yet.

A little bit better from the visitors in the last few minutes.

Fabrizio Cavegn just had a shot at goal and Promise Omochere tried to get on the end of a deflection, but he was offside.

That was a great counter-attack from Rovers.

Alarm bells were ringing in the Rovers box defensively, and they just manage to get it away and it was one box to the other within seconds.

Bristol Rovers look like they're getting frustrated. Jack Sparkes has just fired over from distance.

20 minutes gone and there is no real pattern to the game.

Bristol Rovers are looking to calm things down here, and so far Newport are just charging all over the pitch.

Newport are really trying to change their fortune.

Both sides are giving away such easy fouls.

Nobody has settled yet.

That was strange...

Anthony Glennon was shaping up for a long throw into the Rovers box, but opted to go short and Newport eventually gave a throw away themselves.
