  1. Carlisle 2-2 MK Dons

    MK Dons playmaker Dan Crowley feeds it into the box for Connor Lemonheigh-Evans who gets an effort away but Gabriel Breeze makes a decent save in the Carlisle goal to keep it out.

  2. FULL-TIME

    Port Vale 0-1 Barrow

    A blow to Port Vale's automatic promotion hopes and a first league double over the Burslem side for Barrow.

    Ben Jackson's first-half strike wins it for Barrow who are now four unbeaten on the road.

    Lorent Tolaj, Jayden Stockley and Ben Garrity all hit the woodwork for Vale in the second period and Paul Farman also kept the home side at bay.

    Boss Darren Moore will surely look to a listless opening 45 minutes from his side where they lacked any intensity.

    Barrow join Doncaster and Walsall as the only sides to win at Vale Park in League Two this season.

    This is a big 10 minutes for Carlisle.

  4. Port Vale 0-1 Barrow

    Some Vale fans are leaving.

    It's surely a flat first period which has cost them.

    It gave them too much to do in the second period but hitting the woodwork three times does feel a touch unlucky.

  5. Carlisle 2-2 MK Dons

    The second half hasn't quite seen the same blood and thunder of the first but we've still got 10 minutes plus stoppages for one of these two sides to find a winner.

    Carlisle could use three points much more than MK Dons, mind...

  6. Port Vale 0-1 Barrow

    We will have four minutes of time added on.

  7. SUBSTITUTION

    Carlisle 2-2 MK Dons

    Mark Hughes makes his first change of the evening for Carlisle. Georgie Kelly is on for just his 10th appearance of the league season so far.

    Off goes Josh Vela and the Cumbrians will be playing two up top now with Kelly alongside Matthew Dennis.

  8. 'It's a coming together'

    Adam Yates
    Former Vale defender on BBC Radio Stoke

    It's a coming together between the defender and Ryan Croasdale - there might be a nudge in the back but the referee isn't interested.

  10. GREAT SAVE!

    Port Vale 0-1 Barrow

    Paul Farman superbly denies Jesse Debrah from a header and tips the ball onto the bar.

    Vale are huffing and puffing but can the blow down the Barrow house?

    Aaron Nemane's night is over for MK Dons and he's replaced by Jonathan Leko.

    Carlisle 2-2 MK Dons

    Chris Lumsdon
    Former Carlisle midfielder on BBC Radio Cumbria

    You have to remember that Mark Hughes is still trying to get a tune out of a team that haven't won back-to-back for a long time, but this is a real chance tonight.

  14. Carlisle 2-2 MK Dons

    Dan Crowley lifts a teasing ball to the back post for MK Dons but Alex Gilbey can't quite get on the end of it about five yards out.

    Into the last 20 minutes we go. Will there be a winner for either side?

  15. 'Walters has made an impact'

    Rhys Walter has a shot at goal against BarrowRex Features

    Rhys Walters has made an impact since coming on.

    He's good in possession.

    He's got a big future.

  16. Carlisle 2-2 MK Dons

    Carlisle's Josh Vela tries to hit a daisy-cutter across the face of goal but it's lacking in power and MK Dons are able to easily clear.

    The visitors are straight up the other end again, looking to probe and find an opening.

    MK Dons still seeing most of the ball at the moment.

  17. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Port Vale 0-1 Barrow

    And again!

    Rico Richards sends in a cross and Ben Garrity crashes a header against the bar.

    The Barrow goal is living a charmed life.

  18. 'A bit of a lull for Carlisle'

    Carlisle 2-2 MK Dons

    Chris Lumsdon
    Former Carlisle midfielder on BBC Radio Cumbria

    We're having a bit of a lull here, maybe the energy is just dropping especially after the game on Saturday.

    I think Matthew Dennis has probably run his race here.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Port Vale 0-1 Barrow

    Jayden Stockley's header looks like it's in but it hits the inside of the post and bounces into the hands of Paul Farman in the Barrow goal.

    Port Vale are knocking on the door.

  20. Carlisle 2-2 MK Dons

    MK Dons are just having a decent period at the moment, dominating possession and looking the more likely when they go forward.
