Preston captain Ben Whiteman goes into the book for taking down Thierno Ballo as he looks to hit the visitors on the break.

That's Portsmouth's first goal since a late Makenzie Kirk consolation in the 2-1 home defeat by Coventry on 21 October.

There's been plenty of attacking endeavour from both sides so far and I can certainly see more goals in this one.

Now how can Millwall react?

Alex Neil's side find themselves behind after making a strong start to the game.

Preston are on a run of three straight victories and do not surrender leads easily.

A long way to go in this one but the visitors have put themselves in a great position to extend that winning run.

Ebou Adams has only been on the pitch eight minutes but has been hacked down again on halfway, this time by Axel Henriksson, who is a touch fortunate to escape a booking of his own.

A glorious chance for Ben Brereton-Diaz as Blackburn are given an advantage by ref Thomas Kirk after a crunching challenge on Ebou Adams in midfield, with Brereton-Diaz played through down the left of the area.

Aynsley Pears flies off his line and the Chile striker can only skew his attempted dink over the keeper into the crowd from an angle, to ironic cheers from the home fans.

Taylor Gardner-Hickman did pick up a yellow card for the initial challenge, his fifth of the season, meaning he will now miss the game after the international break.

Millwall's Zak Sturge goes into the book for a challenge on Stefan Thordarson in the middle of the park.

The young defender will have to play almost 80 minutes of this game on a yellow card.

The Lions are pressing the visitors very high up the pitch.

Good stuff so far in this one, with both teams looking a threat.

Portsmouth win a corner down their right and Conor Chaplin's initial in-swinger is dealt with before his following delivery causes a bit more consternation.

Awkward one for the Preston backline. There's a mix-up between the defence and goalkeeper Daniel Iversen.

The keeper just manages to get to the ball ahead of Thierno Ballo, who almost stole it and would have been clean through on goal.

Just for a second former Rover Ben Brereton-Diaz looks like he'll burst through on goal after a clever flick from Carlton Morris 40 yards out, but he gets the ball caught under his feet and is crowded out, with Ebou Adams eventually swinging in a deep cross from the right which Morris can only head past the angle of post and bar.

As much as Hull like to play in between the lines, both chances so far have come from long balls in.

They could have easily been two up already, it is really promising so far.

Ebou Adams is on for David Ozoh, who looks visibly distraught, and his first task will be to defend a corner.

I don't like to make mischief but it looks to be another potentially serious muscular injury at the end of a three-match week. There have been a lot of them of late.

Millwall are looking to get Tristan Crama forward at every opportunity at right-back, with the defender keen to get in behind the visitors' midfield five.

Jamal Lewis at left wing-back is going to have his work cut out today for Preston.

BIG chance for the Tigers!

The home side go direct from a goal kick and the ball is flicked on to in-form forward Joe Gelhardt.

He races into the area but then skews his left-footed effort wide.

Derby's David Ozoh pulls up with what looks like a muscle pull on the front of his thigh as he prods the ball behind for a Rovers corner.

He hits the deck and that might be his day done inside eight minutes.

First opening of the day to the home side but Joe Bursik is off his line quickly to smother Kyle Joseph's effort.
