Jesper Daland goes into the book as he goes into Tommy Conway on the edge of the box.

Boro win a free-kick in a threatening position and Finn Azaz's ball in is flicked on by a Cardiff head at the near post but the home side eventually get it away, before Ethan Horvath collects an easy save.

Into the last five minutes of the first half.

There's no sign of this game calming down!

From a Burnley corner, Lyle Foster gets a head to it at the near post and forces a quickfire save from Blackburn keeper Aynsley Pears.

Manolis Siopis drives through the midfield for the hosts and the Boro defenders back off and back off.

The crowd shout "shooot" so in the end he thinks, why not? But he smashes it wildly over the crossbar.

Both teams lacking a clinical edge in this game.

Norwich's best football of the game.

They take control of the ball and move the play around nicely before constructing some decent shooting opportunities.

Two efforts end up being blocked by Coventry defenders but the the fans take some confidence from it as they encourage their side further.

Lyle Foster almost bags a second for Burnley in what has shaped up to be a tremendous Lancashire derby - and we're only 32 minutes in!

Blackburn fail to clear their lines and goalkeeper Aynsley Pears is in a precarious position off his line as Foster tries to his a high ball home but his effort goes wide of the mark.

Coventry's Ellis Simms comes close to opening the scoring again with an effort from close range.

Victor Torp busts down the right-hand side and sends a ball into the path of Simms running towards the near post.

Simms attempts to tap it home but Norwich keeper Angus Gunn is there and gets his body in the way.

Blackburn have the ball in the net once again but it's a let off for Burnley as the flag goes up for offside.

Tyrhys Dolan is the man to run through and turn in with style, but he's held up.

Norwich have looked a threat from set pieces, so far in this game.

Coventry continue to be involved in the majority of the chances early on.

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto picks up the ball on the right-hand side, shifts inside and fires a low shot just wide of Angus Gunn's right-hand post.

Cardiff look so vulnerable to counter-attacks at times.

Neither side have particularly impressed in the opening 20 minutes but Middlesbrough have carved their opponents open after regaining possession on a couple of occasions.

Hayden Hackney and Finn Azaz are finding lots of space in the midfield but Boro so far haven't been able to pick out that clinical pass.

Just those two Azaz chances so far as still neither side has really threatened.

Wow! Out of the blue.

Middlesbrough counter with pace after a period of Cardiff pressure, getting the ball up the pitch quickly to draw the corner.

Finn Azaz, Tommy Conway and Delano Burgzorg all combining well there.

Azaz then gets another shot away but the ball is trapped under his feet and he can't get the power behind it, with another simple save for Ethan Horvath.

A few early goals in Leagues One and Two.

A Garath McCleary header for Wycombe puts them 1-0 in front at Blackpool while Seasiders forward Dom Ballad has hit the post.

Meanwhile Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Nicholls has tipped a shot from Rotherham forward Sam Nombe over the bar to keep it goalless.

Over in League Two, Doncaster Rovers lead Port Vale 1-0 after Luke Molyneux drilled the ball into the far-corner to continue his good start with Rovers.

While Gillingham have their own header from Robbie McKenzie to see them go 1-0 up against Chesterfield after Darren Oldaker hit the woodwork.

It's been a good start to the game.

But no real clear cut chances from either side so far.

Burnley have dominated this first half, that's for sure.

But Blackburn are beginning to have a bit of a share of the possession since Lyle Foster's opener.

The game has dipped somewhat but not a massive surprise after such a frantic tempo early on.

Middlesbrough getting on the ball more now and Hayden Hackney slots the ball through to Finn Azaz on the edge of the box.

The midfielder lets fly but the shot is straight at Cardiff goalkeeper Ethan Horvath, who makes a comfortable save.

A pretty even first 15 minutes.

Can Blackburn make an immediate response?

They win a free kick on the right flank deep in the Burnley half but Dominic Hyam can't hit the target having nodded Callum Brittain's delivery into the box.

Coventry counter attack quickly and dangerously for another shot on target at Norwich keeper Angus Gunn's goal.

The move ends with Haji Wright running down the left-hand side of the box and firing a shot low which Gunn saved well with his feet.
