  1. Three minutes of added time have been indicated at the end of this half.

  2. Norwich have seen a lot more of the ball in the last five minutes. Ipswich are making it difficult for them, but the hosts are ending this half the stronger.

    "It should open up a bit more in the second half as players get tired.

    "It has been scrappy. I didn't expect a classic, I expected it to be hard fought, which it has been."

  4. Wes Hoolahan makes a good run forward and finds Jonny Howson, who has space and time to shoot, but Tyrone Mings blocks his side-footed effort.

    That was Norwich's best move so far.

  5. Cameron Jerome is receiving further treatment after that knock to the head. Substitute Gary Hooper is warming up, just in case. But Jerome continues, for now.

  6. Phil Shepka
    BBC Sport at Carrow Road

    "Frustration reigns around Carrow Road, with the Canaries unable to find any sort of forward pass. Mick McCarthy and Terry Connor, barking orders and kicking every ball from the touchline, have this Ipswich team well drilled."

  7. Johnson and BruGetty Images

    As my colleague has just said, this has got extra-time and penalties written all over it at the moment.

    That may well prove to be a commentator's curse, but both teams are cancelling each other out so far.

  8. Terry Butcher
    Former England captain on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    "Both teams are very well organised. Ipswich are set up to stop Norwich and Norwich are set up to stop Ipswich.

    "There's not a lot of football or chances."

  9. It's scrappy, it's frantic. Both sides are getting stuck in and we're seeing a lot of free-kicks.

    Christophe Berra and Cameron Jerome clash heads going up for a header, and the Norwich striker looks hurt, but he'll continue.

  10. YELLOW CARD

    Jonny Howson gives the ball away in midfield and Ipswich's Freddie Sears sends over a dangerous-looking cross but Sebastien Bassong is there to clear the danger.

    Moments later, Bradley Johnson is booked for a late tackle from behind.

  11. Ipswich are playing a very high line here. They're pushing forward in numbers when they've got the ball, determined to take this game to Norwich.

    Neither keeper has really had a proper save to make yet, but it's tense. Very tense.

  12. Cameron Jerome and Tommy Smith tussleEmpics

    Cameron Jerome refuses to give up on a bouncing, long ball forward, and Bartosz Bialkowski has to be brave to get down and claw the ball away from his feet.

    Ipswich were a tad indecisive at the back there, and Jerome almost took advantage.

  13. Well, it's been a high-energy start. Ipswich will be pleased with the pressure they have put on the Norwich back line, but the hosts have found their feet in the last five or 10 minutes.

    Teddy Bishop goes down in the Norwich penalty area but the referee dismisses any appeals for a spot-kick.

    "The Norwich fans around me were already celebrating as if they'd scored, but last week's goalscorer Paul Anderson was there to deny them.

    "Still, every touch of the ball is either cheered or jeered. This match means so much to both clubs."

  15. CLOSE!

    Russell Martin fires a low shot at goal which goes past a crowd of players and is cleared off the line by Ipswich's Paul Anderson.

    That's the closest either side have come to a goal.

  16. Daryl Murphy knocks Sebastien Bassong off the ball and bursts to the byline, but his ball across the six yard box is held by John Ruddy.

  17. This is better from Norwich. Jonny Hoswon and Cameron Jerome combine well and it leads to their first corner.

    Steven Whittaker ends up shooting from long range after the corner, but drags his effort wide.

  18. McCarthyGetty Images

    As Terry says, it's all Ipswich at the moment. They have started the brighter, with real energy, which will no doubt please manager Mick McCarthy.

  19. Terry Butcher
    Former England captain on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    "Ipswich have probably started the better. It's all been played in the Norwich half so far."

  20. If Ipswich are going to record a famous win here, the chances are it will mean that Daryl Murphy has played a big role.

    The Championship's top goal scorer has netted 27 times so far this season and will be a real handful for the Norwich defenders.
