Adil Aouchiche makes way for the closing 10 minutes for Sunderland and Milan Aleksic will look to help see this one out.

It's attack against defence now and Colby Bishop blocks an Adil Aouchiche piledriver inside the box.

Nicolas Schmid then tips away a horribly swirling cross.

I know I said Portsmouth will be encouraged by the fact it's only 1-0 but they've got to get out of their half first.

The clear chances have dried up in the second half and that will suit Crewe, who will move into second spot if the score stays the same.

Any kind of win will put them in the automatic promotion spots.

As for Bromley, they'd be six points below the play-off places if their 12-game unbeaten run in League Two is ended today.

Another Sunderland goal will drop Portsmouth into the relegation zone and Jobe Bellingham hammers a shot into a whole host of defenders.

Seconds later it should be 2-0 but Rob Atkinson makes a brilliant block to prevent Eliezer Mayenda scoring from close range.

Callum Lang finds Josh Murphy on the apex of the Sunderland area but his shot deflects into the hands of Anthony Patterson.

Portsmouth might be down to 10 men but it's only 1-0.

Two changes for Portsmouth.

Zak Swanson who has also been cautioned is off for Terry Devlin and Rob Atkinson is on for his Pompey debut to replace Paddy Lane.

He just has to clear the ball, but he doesn't realise he's there.

It's the pull of the shirt that does it, he can protest all he likes, but that's always going to be a red.

The game isn't over though, there's 20 minutes left and Pompey have had chances.

Pompey are down to 10 men and they can have no complaints.

Captain Marlon Pack lets a back pass just inside his own half go across his body without realising Wilson Isidor is there.

The Sunderland forward takes the ball and Pack drags him down with Isidor sprinting through on goal.

A long way back now for Pompey.

Almost a second for Sunderland and a second for Wilson Isidor.

Luke O'Nien does brilliantly down the left and cuts the ball back to Patrick Roberts who cushions it off to Isidor who is just over with his shot.

Zak Swanson is the second Portsmouth man to be cautioned as he blocks off Trai Hume to prevent the Sunderland man getting away down the left.

Wouldn't be surprised if there are more goals in this one. Bromley are having their share of attacks as they aim to find a way back into the game.

Crewe haven't lost at home in League Two since being hammered 5-0 by Chesterfield in August. Are they set for an 11th home league game without defeat?

Dennis Cirkin gets the byline for Sunderland and cuts the ball back but Andre Dozzell is there to cut it out and put it behind for a corner.

The flag kick is taken short and wasted.

A chance for Sunderland.

Patrick Roberts gets to the edge of the box - shoot is the cry from the home fans and he obliges it but it takes a touch off a defender and bobbles through to Nicolas Schmid.

Oh, one of those is it a foul or isn't it?

Ryley Towler nicks the ball away from goalkeeper Anthony Patterson as he releases it from his hands for a drop kick clearance.

Referee Thoms Bramall penalises Towler and doesn't stop there as he issues the first yellow card of the game.

Sunderland are giving Portsmouth plenty of encouragement they can get back into this.

Wasteful in the first period and far too casual in possession in the second - the home fans are well aware this isn't over but are their players?

Freddie Potts hangs a cross into the Sunderland box which Anthony Patterson plucks out of the air.

It's getting sloppy now, it's all a bit scrappy.

How many times in the last five minutes have we mentioned Sunderland giving the ball away?

Sunderland a bit ponderous in possession in their own half - goalkeeper Anthony Patterson delaying passes allowing Portsmouth to press.

Chris Mepham then gives the ball away to Josh Murphy but he overruns it.

It's a scrappy start to the second period.

Adil Aouchiche cuts the ball into the Portsmouth box and Ryley Towler sticks it behind for a corner before Eliezer Mayenda can convert.

The corner drops on the edge of the area for Luke O'Nien who tries a volley from the edge of the area - one of those which either flies in the top corner or well off target - it's still 1-0 - you do the math...

Almost a fourth for Crewe in the early minutes of the second half but Jack Lankester shoots narrowly wide.

Guy Whittingham
Former Portsmouth manager on BBC Radio Solent

Bishop did well to win the ball back there, but you've got to test the goalkeeper.

I think if he's going to hit it, he's got to hit it first time.

If those opportunities are coming for Pompey, they've got to take them.
