It's all Notts County now who are peppering the Newport goal.

Matt Palmer drives forward from midfield and unleashes an effort which goes just wide.

Then Sam Austin then forces Nick Townsend into a good save.

It remains 0-0, though.

Marc Leonard and Alfie May are on for Ethan Laird and Luke Harris for the visitors as they try to find a way back into the game.

Three up top for Chris Davies now with Jay Stansfield and Lyndon Dykes already in situ.

The rain is lashing down at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

A ball forward from Bolton just dies on the turf to evidence just how wet it is out there.

As close as we have come to the opening goal and it's er, Storm Bert for Stevenage.

Louis Thompson is a yard from the right flank and 25 yards deep when he tries to curl in a cross which the wind catches, turning it into an inswinger and eluding keeper Josh Keeley, only to thud the face of the crossbar and glance away.

Really tough conditions at the Lamex.

The cautions are stacking up now.

Blackpool's Oliver Norburn gets a fourth yellow card of the season.

Blues have got to chase now, you have to say on balance that Shrewsbury deserve it.

They've shown real commitment and endeavour this afternoon.

Colchester defender Aaron Donnelly is in the wars and now sports a bandaged head because of a cut.

It's a quiet start to the second-half.

Nearly an opener for Notts County.

Matt Palmer's ball in from a corner is met by the head of Lewis Macari at the near post but his stooped header bounces off the bar.

A let off for Nelson Jardim's Newport.

Probably from about 20 yards out, the Blackpool midfield have got to engage there and get closer.

You can't give players who can shoot like that, room to do it.

You can't stop them, game on!

It's the hosts who have come close to restoring a two-goal advantage as Luke Harris was caught in possession before the influential Tom Bloxham did well down the right and managed to find John Marquis, whose curling effort clipped the top of Ryan Allsop's crossbar.

Szabolcs Schon is cautioned for Bolton.

That's a fifth yellow card for the Hungarian and he'll miss their game at Cambridge United on Tuesday.

Blackpool's Kyle Joseph also gets a caution for a foul.

More pressure from the home side as Lucas Ness has a pop from the edge of the area but it's blocked.

Newport are defending well but can they hold on the way things are going?

Really tricky conditions in Hertfordshire with the wind ramping up another notch and the rain coming in horizontally.

Orient balls towards the Stevenage half are holding up in the air and keeper Josh Keeley's clearance kicks aren't even making halfway at this point.

We've also seen a couple of attempted long-throws slip out of players hands.

Got to love November, eh!

Notts County have started the second half in the way they were for the majority of the first.

Sam Austin puts in a cross for Alassana Jatta, but his header is off the mark and goes over.

And just after David McGoldrick tries one from distance but Nick Townsend is equal to it to produce a good save.

Now George Thomason gets down the left for Bolton.

The captain's cross is pouched by Richard O'Donnell at his near post but Blackpool have been warned this could be a long 45 minutes.

Salop have lost six straight, Blues are unbeaten in seven... this seems a huge 45 minutes for both clubs.

Bolton have come out with a bit of intent.

George Thomason gets a shot away and Richard O'Donnell makes his first save of the afternoon.

Os defender Dan Happe has kept Jamie Reid very quiet thus far but he bundles his man over 40 yards out allowing The Boro to win a corner from Harvey White's inswinging free-kick, only for Daniel Adyei to head the set-piece clear.
