    Former Wrexham boss Dean Saunders on BBC Wales: "There are mismatches all over the pitch and Wrexham are a different class. If I were Maidstone boss Jay Saunders, I'd change the system a bit and maybe put another man in midfield. At this rate Wrexham could win by three or four.

    "They just need to be sensible and not take risks."

    Wrexham boss Kevin Wilkin tells BBC Wales: "We need to keep our game nice and short and keep moving the ball on the deck. The second goal is absolutely crucial, we need to get a bit of a cushion between us and them, one goal isn't enough really."

    Manny Smith's goal is the difference between the two sides at the break. Despite trailing, you sense Maidstone will not be too unhappy with their work so far.

    Alex Flisher and Jack Parkinson have both forced saves from home keeper Jon Flatt but the hosts have, predictably, had more of the ball.

    Goalscorer Manny Smith is in the book for taking out Maidstone winger Matt Bodkin 28 yards from goal. Frannie Collin's free-kick comes to nothing.

    Wrexham are just trying to calm things down now. Maidstone are looking most likely when they get the ball forward quickly on the counter attack.

    Just a recap of today's earlier results, with League One side Sheffield United still on course to match last season's run to the FA Cup semi-final - surely they can't do it again, can they?

    Bit of a stoppage here as Maidstone striker Jay May gets some treatment for a knock to the thigh.

    Looks like he's going to give it a go and the players are all using the break in play to take on some fluids and get their breath back. It's been frenetic so far.

    Heads in hands for Maidstone. Terrific attack down the left-hand side sees the ball played across the box for Jack Parkinson but Jon Flatt manages to keep his low effort out with his legs.

    Former Wrexham midfielder Barry Horne tells BBC Wales: "What Wrexham don't need to do is sit back, they've been totally dominant so far - they really need to get a second."

    How will the seventh tier side react to going behind? Hartlepool took the lead against Blyth in yesterday's match and we all know how that turned out.

    Shrewsbury Town manager Micky Mellon saw his side press and press for an equaliser at Preston, but to no avail, and he was disappointed to not get at least a goal in the 1-0 defeat.

    "I think that we didn't do enough in the first half, we were yards off the pace and if I'm honest all over the place," Mellon told BBC Radio Shropshire.

    "But in the second half, we passed it around superb and we are disappointed to have allowed the cross in, to allow them to score at head-height so we were punished by one mistake.

    "We probably had total control in the second half but we just didn't have the cutting edge and composure needed to get back on level terms.

    "We changed the system, and they had to change things to match us as we were getting the better of it - but their smartness was needed to score."

    Lee Worgan has been terrific in the Maidstone goal so far but he will not want to see this again. He palms a corner down to the edge of the six-yard box and former Walsall defender Manny Smith throws himself at the ball to send it over the line (just) via the crossbar.

    Alex Flisher fires an excellent low volley at Wrexham's goal but Jon Flatt is equal to it and the visitors can't quite scramble the ball over the line in the melee that follows.

    Bury striker Ryan Lowe tells the club's Twitter feed, external that it was the Shakers' togetherness which contributed to their draw - which came thanks to a 90th-minute equaliser.

    "Their defenders were putting bodies on the line but the goal was coming," Lowe said. We have to live with the decisions the gaffer makes but fair play to Nards for coming on and scoring.

    "As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the best competitions in the world and I've always wanted to be part of it. I've been in teams when fellow strikers are waiting for you to mess up - there's none of that here. The mood around the place is second to none - we've had a few bad results but we're looking to kick on from here."

    Real open feel to the tie at the moment.

    Wrexham are looking like the dominant force but Maidstone aren't afraid to try and play when they get a chance to get on the ball. Mind you, Stones keeper Lee Worgan has already been forced into four saves.

    Big save from Lee Worgan. Mark Carrington bursts into the area but the keeper comes out to smother his effort. Moments later Conor Jennings heads wide from eight yards. All Wrexham early on.

    Andy Bishop goes close to giving the hosts an early lead. He drills his half-volley from Wesley York's centre into the ground and just past the post.
