Shaun Whalley goes close with a free-kick not far from the penalty area for Accrington, narrowly evading the target with a curling effort.

Almost a second for the veteran, who's continuing to make an impact on his first appearance of the campaign.

Plymouth bring on attacking midfielder Jamie Paterson for defender Brendan Wiredu, who was partly culpable for that mix-up for the goal as part of a susceptible-looking Argyle defence.

Mansfield threatened again just beforehand, Nathan Moriah-Welsh whipping another inviting cross from the right in front of goal, where neither Will Evans nor Rhys Oates could connect.

As long as it stays 1-0, there's always a chance that Plymouth do a smash-and-grab job.

Mansfield have got a foothold now, they're trying to build attacks on the flanks and not just playing on the counter-attack.

Will Evans takes aim from just outside the penalty area on the left, curling a shot that lacks power towards the far post for Mansfield.

Conor Hazard is well placed and holds, but Plymouth need to change the momentum of this game if they're to earn the win they require to move out of the drop zone.

A quiet start to the second half in rainy Accrington.

The hosts made a change in midfield at the break, replacing Alex Henderson with one-time Everton prospect Conor Grant.

It's opened up a little bit, the change in shape from Bradford has helped.

Because Kavanagh has joined Cook at the top of the pitch, the midfield is a bit more open and we can definitely exploit that.

Bradford look very open and it's a higher press from them.

The rhythm of the game hasn't changed much after a first half which was scrappy at times.

Here's to a breakthrough at some point.

Mansfield 1-0 Plymouth

There's a prolonged break in play while Mansfield defender Deji Oshilaja receives treatment for a head injury.

Oshilaja is back on his feet and looks ready to return to action, happily.

Mansfield's Rhys Oates won't want to see this one again.

As they did for the goal, the hosts catch Plymouth out with a direct ball through the centre.

Conor Hazard springs off his line and sprawls to stop Oates' left-footed finish at close quarters, but the rebound falls to the forward with the goal gaping.

The home fans are off their feet and celebrating but Oates sends his right-footed finish against the side netting.

Bradford boss Graham Alexander makes a change at the break and it's a like-for-like one in terms of position as Will Swan makes way for Andy Cook who makes his 200th appearance for the Bantams.

Mansfield's Aaron Lewis, who is sporting a bushy moustache, fouls Bali Mumba midway inside the hosts' half.

Plymouth make little of the free-kick and are almost caught out in an ensuing Town counter-attack.

Half-time team talks have concluded and we're getting under way in our three games in Leagues One and Two, where we have seen just two goals go in so far.

Let's hope for more...

Lincoln for the first 20-25 minutes were the better team. They moved the ball well and had a few chances.

When Bradford switched to the 3-5-2 they got into the game.

By the end of the half it became an even contest. With [Will] Swan and [Calum] Kavanagh at the top, the chances will come.

Tranmere threatened an equaliser at the end of the half, Nohan Kenneh and Omari Patrick testing goalkeeper Ollie Wright as the visitors pressured the Accrington defence with a succession of crosses.

Shaun Whalley's 16th-minute strike from inside the box to break the deadlock remains Accrington's only attempt on target, and they still lead through it.

Goalless at the break at Valley Parade.

Lincoln have more of the ball with James Collins having their best chance after two minutes only for him to put his shot over the bar.

But in the last 15 minutes of the half Bradford did get some shots off at goal.

Jenson Metcalfe came the closest for the hosts when he saw his bended effort go just wide.

Liam Roberts will be a happy goalkeeper if he has many more opening periods as quiet as that for Mansfield this season.

Will Evans capitalised on calamitous defending to pounce on a routine ball through the middle and make the difference between these sides in the sixth minute here.

Mansfield are on course to extend their unbeaten run to five games, while Plymouth are staring at a ninth defeat of the season and two-point gap to safety if they do not improve significantly.

Six minutes of added time at Accrington.

Nathan Moriah-Welsh has been brilliant on the ball tonight.

His decision-making has been excellent, he's really dictated the game.

Great chance for Mansfield striker Tyler Roberts.

Nathan Moriah-Welsh whips a cross from the right in front of goal for the on-loan Birmingham striker, who heads wide in space.

Roberts scored in each of Town's previous three games before their home draw with Wigan on Saturday and should have hit the target from there.

Bradford come forward as they eventually work it for Max Power but his effort from the edge of the area is well wide.
