  • Hoolahan penalty, Redmond and Jerome for Norwich

  • Smith had levelled for 10-man Ipswich

  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:47 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy makes two changes, with Jay Tabb and David McGoldrick coming on for Teddy Bishop and Kevin Bru.

    Is that a double change that could keep their promotion hopes alive?

  2. CLOSE!published at 13:46 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    Cameron Jerome flicks just wide but he really, really should have scored. The ball comes across to him in the six-yard box and he has the goal gaping in front of him, but can't quite force it in.

    "Where did this come from? That first half never promised much, but this has been an incredibly topsy-turvy second half. Maybe they were all just saving their energy. However this game is far, far from over."

    Wes Hoolahan drives towards goal and shoots left-footed straight at the keeper. The games is really, really stretched at the moment.

    And Bradley Johnson goes close moments later. Norwich have grabbed the impetus again.

    Ipswich have gone from despair, to delirium, to despair again, all in the space of a few minutes. Astonishing stuff.

  5. GOAL Nathan Redmondpublished at 13:38 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    Norwich are back in front and it's Nathan Redmond with the goal. Jonny Howson has time to shoot himself but he squares the ball to Redmond, who smashes the ball low and hard through Bartosz Bialkowski.

    Carrow Road goes wild once again. Ipswich were level for less than five minutes.

    What a frantic second half we have had so far!

  6. GOAL Tommy Smithpublished at 13:34 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    The 10 men are level!

    A free-kick is sent deep into the box, Daryl Murphy heads the ball down and Tommy Smith nips in to knock the ball past John Ruddy and slot into an empty net. Norwich were asleep at the back there. And Ipswich have pounced!

    Game on!

    Norwich can smell blood. They want to kill this tie off here and now. They've got all the momentum and Ipswich need to calm things down a little bit and work their way back into this game.

    "That goal has lifted the metaphorical roof off of Carrow Road. Credit has to go to Wes Hoolahan for stepping up there under £120m worth of pressure.

    "And as seems so often the case these days, a flare has been set off by the Norwich fans as they sing Que Sera!"

  9. Postpublished at 13:29 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    That has changed things, more than a little bit. What a disastrous 60 seconds for Ipswich, losing Christophe Berra (who had arguably been their best player so far today) and going a goal down.

    The pendulum has very much swung Norwich's way.

    The hosts come forward again but Cameron Jerome can't get enough power on his shot.

  10. GOAL Wes Hoolahan (pen)published at 13:24 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    Wes Hoolahan is the coolest man at Carrow Road as he steps up to put Norwich in front. He slots the ball low into the bottom corner, sending the keeper the wrong way.

    The home crowd erupt. What a start to the second half for Alex Neil's side!

  11. RED CARD Christophe Berrapublished at 13:24 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    And a red card is swiftly shown to the uncomplaining Christophe Berra. He knew that was coming. Ipswich will play the rest of this game with 10 men.

  12. PENALTY TO NORWICHpublished at 13:23 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    That's poor from Ipswich! They gift possession to Norwich and Wes Hoolahan plays in Nathan Redmond, whose goalbound shot is clearly handled on the line by Christophe Berra. Referee Roger East has no hesitation in pointing to the spot.

    Norwich almost score straight from the re-start, and it's frantic in the Ipswich penalty area.

    Wes Hoolahan does well and Cameron Jerome has the ball with his back to goal inside the six-yard box. He goes down while trying to turn and shot and Norwich want a penalty, but it was good defending in the end from Ipswich

  14. KICK-OFFpublished at 13:21 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    Just to remind you all, the away goals rule does not apply in the play-offs.

    So, if the score stays like this, we will have extra-time, and maybe even penalties.

    On the evidence of the first half, it could be a very dramatic finish here at Carrow Road.

    "Ipswich fans chant 'Boring, boring Norwich', but if they're honest, their team haven't been much better. But what the game has lacked in chances, it's made up for in endeavour.

    "Every single ball is being contested as if the whole world depended on it. Will we find a breakthrough after the half-time oranges?"

    For the Middlesbrough fans out there, take a listen to BBC Radio 5 live sports extra at half-time when they will be looking back at last night's victory over Brentford which sent the Teessiders to Wembley.

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:04 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    The players head off for a half-time orange after 45 minutes of a tense derby game that has so much riding on it.

    Mick McCarthy's team will arguably be the slightly happier side at the break, but it's been even.
