Carlisle are pushing desperately for a winner now at the EV Charger Points Stadium.

But without an equaliser for Crewe, it is all futile at the moment.

Oh dear.

Bad to worse for Mat Sadler's men, who must now try and get back into their game at home to Accrington with a man disadvantage.

Connor Barrett has been sent for an early bath. 12 minutes remaining in this one.

Stockport are still *just* in the mix for automatic promotion from the third tier, they've come from two down to draw level with Lincoln.

Not enough at present, but a winner would put them two points behind Wrexham before tonight's big clash between Phil Parkinson's side and Charlton.

It is a fantastic cross by Elliot Embleton, but who is marking Georgie Kelly, someone needs to get on to him and mark him.

He can simply nod it in on the line - it is too easy once again.

Tariqe Fosu twice tries to find a goal for Northampton and twice he's stopped by a Crawley body.

The Crawley stopper puts in a solid glove to prevent the first before his next strike bounces off a defensive block.

The hosts are still susceptible to a sucker punch as they do everything they can to get back into the top three.

Stanley's turn to have a sight of goal, as Conor Grant keeps Walsall stopper Tommy Simkin on his toes with an effort.

Tranmere are winning and now they have only 10 men to face in the closing stages.

Lee O'Connor gets clear and is brought down by Tom Lowery.

The Crewe player is deemed to be last man and is shown a red card.

A reminder Walsall need a goal to move into the top three ahead of the final day next week.

Levi Amantchi is presented with a chance to ease some nerves at the Bescot Stadium, but the forward can only head into the hands of Michael Kelly in the Stanley goal.

This was almost goodnight Vienna for Carlisle in this match and in League Two.

A great chance for Sam Stubbs but he volleys over from close range and the Blues breathe again.

But remember they need three goals to go in their favour and there are just over 20 minutes left for that to happen.

That would have been a spectacular way to secure League Two football.

Regan Hendry tries his luck from just inside Crewe's half but Filip Marschall just about gets back to keep it out as he pushes it for a corner!

U's keeper Jack Stevens has been a busy boy this afternoon but unfortunately, his action has come to a premature end.

He needs to go off injured and is replaced by Nathan Bishop.

Chance for Stephen Wearne as he works the space nicely in the box but Joe Day is equal to his effort.

Carlisle are pushing but they really need something special to happen.

It was a finish from Jon Dadi Bodvarsson that goalkeepers don't like it, the goal was central with defenders all around him.

When he took the shot it was point-blank range and it is difficult for keepers to get a palm and often they find the roof of the net.

Tranmere are doing exactly the right thing as they play for survival.

Virtually the whole of this second half has been played in Crewe's half as they push for a second goal.

Rushian Hepburn-Murphy wants more than just one goal but he's just finding a wall at the minute.

He needs to be denied by Northampton keeper Lee Burge to prevent a second before trying again and seeing the Cobblers defence holding firm to put in the block.

Sal-FOUR-d City!

Hakeeb Adelakun converts his second penalty of the day against fellow play-off chasers Colchester and Karl Robinson's side continue their march into the top seven!

Stockport still harbour hopes of sneaking into the automatic promotion places in League One, and they've halved their deficit at home to Lincoln, now trailing 2-1 thanks to a Jayden Fevrier strike.
