Millwall keeper Max Crocombe's poor ball out goes straight to a player in white and Preston attack again.

Alfie Devine gets to the byline and wins a corner, before his ball in is headed behind by Andrew Hughes.

This game is there to be won, who's going to take the chance to move up to second in the table?

Pompey sub Zac Swanson is straight into the action as he cuts inside off the right and fashions a chance for himself.

The home side get a block on but that is better from the away team.

Second booking of the game as Jordan Williams upends Regan Slater on the Hull City man's 200th appearance for the club.

Into the final 15 minutes and it's Blackburn on the front foot as Derby drop deep, but Lewis Miller's cross beats everyone and Kristi Montgomery then concedes possession cheaply.

Lovely stuff from Thierry Small to battle his way through Millwall challenges on the touchline.

He crosses in but it goes out of play and drops on to the roof of the net.

Into the last quarter of an hour.

Aaaaaand here come those changes.

Darko Gyabi and Joel Ndala are on for the home side and the away team bring on Zac Swanson for two-goal Terry Devlin.

Seventeen minutes plus change to go in this one.

Another chance goes begging for the hosts as Thiero Ballo heads wide from Tristan Crama's ball in.

Alex Neil makes his first changes for Milwall.

On comes Macaulay Langstaff to give his side a bit more firepower up front alongside goal scorer Mihailo Ivanovic, with Camiel Neghli replaced for the Lions.

Oof Carlton Morris wants a penalty for a trip from Ryan Hedges on the very right corner of the area, but Thomas Kirk is having none of it.

It might have been a free-kick, at best, as it was clumsy, but it was outside the box either way.

Rhian Brewster and former Rover Andi Weimann are being introduced by John Eustace as Derby try to retake the initiative.

Ben Brereton-Diaz and goalscorer Patrick Agyemang, the potential match-winner at present, are the ones to make way.

The home fans are getting some good booing practice.

John Mousinho will be feeling more comfortable with the start of the second half, but you can just sense Hull bubbling.

You can't allow Hull to cross the ball wherever they want to, Pompey need to be careful of that.

Millwall skipper Jake Cooper is shown a yellow card for a foul on Jordan Storey and it looked maybe a tad soft - Cooper certainly thought so.

Preston make another change as Alfie Devine comes on for Mads Frokjaer.

Bobby Clark goes into the book for Derby as he shoves Ryoya Morishita to the deck in midfield as Rovers try to launch a counterattack.

The temperature is rising at Ewood Park.

Rovers sense they can get something here.

All been a bit scrappy since the break.

The home side are just starting to build up some pressure though as we head into the final quarter of this match.

Could be time for a sub or two I think.

So good and then... not so much from Aidomo Emakhu.

Millwall look to hit Preston on the break and Mihailo Ivanovic releases the winger in behind.

He's one v one with the defender and his first touch is sublime to take him through in a sprint.

With Daniel Iversen backtracking and out of position his second touch under pressure is far too heavy and goes through for the goalkeeper to collect.

Chance missed for the hosts.

You can sense the relief here at Ewood Park as they now have a lifeline in this one. 25 minutes left, and it really is all to play for.

I said it a few minutes ago, Derby can't afford to be their own worst enemy.

A lifeline for Rovers.

Dion Sanderson has conceded a penalty on his return to Ewood Park, sliding in on Yuki Ohashi in the box and getting none of the ball and a lot of the man.

Stonewall.

Half-chance for Preston and it comes from a long ball forward.

It drops to Michael Smith with bodies in his way on the edge of the area.

Smith strikes first time and it goes wide of Max Crocombe's near post.

Painful one for Ben Brereton-Diaz as he gets a whack from Ryan Hedges under a high ball.

The on-loan Southampton striker is also making a return to Ewood Park, where he scored 47 goals in 177 games before a switch to Villarreal in 2023.

Portsmouth's Terry Devlin now has a yellow card to go with his two goals.

He goes in late on Matt Crooks and the referee doesn't like it. Not one bit.

First booking of the game.
