Five minutes until the break and Norwich are looking fairly comfortable. They're just playing the ball around at the back.

In-form Callum Wilson hasn't gotten many sniffs in front of goal for Bournemouth.

Former Norwich striker on Final Score

"Wes Hoolahan is so important for Norwich - he makes them tick and makes things happen. And good play by Cameron Jerome, attacking the ball and scoring the goal."

Is this going to start a craze where everybody plays with their shinpads in their hands? The new snoods maybe.

Norwich midfielder Wes Hoolahan is running about with his shinpad in his hand. Somebody needs to tell that lad where you're meant to put it.

While that's happening Matt Ritchie puts in a poor cross for Bournemouth and it's easily cleared.

Norwich striker Cameron Jerome has the best chance of the game as Wes Hoolahan finds him with a clever through-ball - but the much-travelled frontman fires it into the side-netting from an angle.

It's two yellow cards apiece now as Norwich midfielder Wes Hoolahan blocks a Simon Francis cross with his hands - although it looked like he was protecting his face. So a bit harsh.

"You don't know what you're doing" chime the Canaries fans to referee Martin Atkinson.

Norwich left-back Robbie Brady has saved his team with a brilliant tackle there. The ball is played forward to Callum Wilson and with the in-form striker set to pounce, the Irishman just about gets a leg in to get the ball out for a corner.

Corner comes to nothing.

Bournemouth winger Joshua King squanders a good chance - he's got the ball on the byeline but seems to almost lose concentration and controls it out of play.

We're not going to end with 22 men on this pitch surely. I'd barely told you about Simon Francis's yellow before team-mate Adam Smith joined him in the booking club for an angry clash with Wes Hoolahan.

Three players on a card already.

It's the second yellow card of the game as Bournemouth defender Simon Francis brings down Matt Jarvis, who was just about to go on a dribble. Very much taking one for the team.

Norwich defender Sebastien Bassong gets his foot onto a Bournemouth ball but it loops high in the air and into the hands of John Ruddy. A nervous moment there for the Cameroonian.

Norwich midfielder Alexander Tettey is booked for a high tackle from behind on Joshua King, who was charging forward.

King was the player who injured Tettey in the opening minutes.

Slightly surprising all Norwich's stuff is coming through the right when they have Robbie Brady and Matt Jarvis both playing on the left. Brady is playing at left-back despite being a natural winger like Jarvis.

Bournemouth attack well as Eunan O'Kane plays the ball out to right-back Simon Francis but his cross is easily held by goalkeeper John Ruddy.

Neither side really on top in the opening 15 minutes, it's been fairly open.

Matty Jarvis does what Matty Jarvis does best as the Norwich debutant winger goes on a surging run down the left-hand side but his cross is cleared away for a throw-in.

A lot of pushing and shoving in the box but Joshua King eventually heads away Wes Hoolahan's corner.

But Bournemouth can't clear their lines properly and Alexander Tettey absolutely lashes an effort over from 25 yards out.

Norwich on the attack now, Wes Hoolahan ran the ball out of play a minute ago. And Sebastien Bassong chips a ball over the top but it's far too long for Cameron Jerome.

But Norwich get the ball back and they have a corner now.

Bournemouth midfielder Junior Stanislas wants to take a corner but referee Martin Atkinson is insistent it's not in the quadrant.

He eventually positions it right but then Tommy Elphick concedes a free-kick straight away for fouling Sebastien Bassong once the kick is taken.
