Harry Williams delivers a long throw into the Newport penalty area but it is cleared.

Alfie Chang then strikes from edge of the box but he drags his effort wide.

Kai Whitmore drives into the box but his eventual shot towards the near post is collected by Walsall goalkeeper Tommy Simkin.

Walsall have scored 51 goals in the second half compared to 23 in the first half of matches.

They will want to keep that trend going this afternoon as they look to get back to winning ways.

A Newport corner is easily caught by Tommy Simkin.

The second half is under way at Rodney Parade.

Walsall are back into the automatic promotion places, as things stand, but a 12th game without a win would surely leave them playing catch-up in their final two matches once the 3pm fixtures play-out later on...

A second-half winner would make those beleaguered Saddlers fans feel a lot more optimistic going into the final two games.

I think Newport's only threat has come from balls into the box obviously, Kyle Hudlin is a real presence in there.

There is an element from the Saddlers that they don't want to concede; there's the feeling that if Walsall were five yards higher up, they could catch Newport out.

The whistle blows for half-time and it is all square at Rodney Parade.

Walsall captain Taylor Allen strikes the ball so well from distance but it rises over the bar.

Michael Spellman tries to drive forwards for Newport but Ryan Stirk nicks the ball off him.

I think the Saddlers have looked better in possession, but Newport have had a few chances with balls into the box.

Neither goalkeeper has really been tested; Nathan Asiimwe's shot is still probably the only real chance so far.

Shane McLoughlin has taken the captain's armband for Newport since James Clarke's early departure.

We are into three minutes of added time at the end of the first half.

Alfie Chang pumps a long hopeful ball up towards Albert Adomah but the Walsall forward is unable to chase it down.

Walsall are trying to regain the momentum they had at the start of the game.

Kai Whitmore tries to thread a ball forward but it is overhit and Walsall goalkeeper Tommy Simkin gets his foot to it.

Michael Spellman whips in a lovely free-kick which forces the Walsall defence to clear.

Newport have been the better side in the last 10 minutes or so.

That's the end of the afternoon for Newport skipper James Clarke.

Jaden Warner replaces him in the backline.

Newport captain James Clarke is down and he looks to be in some discomfort.

That would be a blow for the home side.

Albert Adomah goes into the book for a foul on Shane McLoughlin.

He can have no complaints about that one.

The Newport corner is taken and Nathan Asiimwe touches it behind for another one.

The second corner is cleared high up the pitch as Walsall try to relieve the pressure that Newport are putting on them.
