    Leeds aren't out of this game at all. They've been good in this first half, apart from two defensive lapses that have cost them two goals.

  2. Middlesbrough 2-0 Leeds Unitedpublished at 36 mins

    Two shots on target within a minute for Leeds.

    First, Stuart Dallas fires straight at the goalkeeper from 20 yards and then Alex Mowatt does likewise.

    Just before that second Middlesbrough goal, Boro's Christian Stuani was booked for a late tackle on Leeds full-back Charlie Taylor.

    Dear, oh dear. A nightmare moment for Leeds defender Giuseppe Bellusci as he heads the ball into his own net at the near post to double Middlesbrough's lead.

  5. Middlesbrough 1-0 Leeds Unitedpublished at 30 mins

    Half an hour gone and still David Nugent's third goal of the season separates the two teams.

    Middlesbrough are on course to move within a point of leaders Brighton as things stand.

    Leeds have a debutant in their side this afternoon - DR Congo winger Jordan Botaka.

    He's been fairly quiet so far, although Leeds have grown into this game since David Nugent's early opener, albeit without testing the Boro goal too much.

    A reminder that we'll have live text and radio commentary of Watford v Crystal Palace in the Premier League later on. It's a 16:00 BST kick-off at Vicarage Road.

    In the meantime, Leeds midfielder Alex Mowatt is back on his feet and sporting a massive bandage on his head. These may be famous last words, but he should be easy to spot from now on.

  8. Middlesbrough 1-0 Leeds Unitedpublished at 20 mins

    Leeds have their first shot on goal, and by far their best moment of the match.

    A neat move sets up Mirco Antenucci, who gets the ball out of his feet before sending a tame shot into the arms of Middlesbrough goalkeeper Dimi Konstantopoulos.

    A stoppage in play follows, as Fernando Amorebieta and Alex Mowatt collide while involved in an aerial challenge.

  9. Middlesbrough 1-0 Leeds Unitedpublished at 18 mins

    Middlesbrough are bossing possession here, just waiting for the perfect moment to cut their way through the Leeds defence.

    At the back, they look solid too. This is one strong Championship outfit.

    Leeds striker Mirco Antenucci lunges in on Tomas Kalas after losing control of the ball and catches the Boro defender on the shin - perhaps a little lucky to get away with that.

  12. Middlesbrough 1-0 Leeds Unitedpublished at 14 mins

    Leeds make their first meaningful attack but it ends when Stuart Dallas pushes Tomas Kalas to the floor and Middlesbrough get a free-kick on the edge of their own box.

    A huge rendition of "Marching On Together" follows from the travelling Leeds supporters.

    The last time Boro conceded more than one goal at home in the league was a 3-2 defeat by Sheffield Wednesday in August 2014.

    Leeds will have to change that if they are to achieve a third straight away league win.

  14. CLOSE!published at 11 mins

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Leeds United

    So close to a second Boro goal in bizarre circumstances.

    Leeds captain Sol Bamba attempts to chest Albert Adomah's cross back to his goalkeeper Marco Silvestri. Bamba gets too much of it, and Silvestri has to make a flying save away to his left to keep it out.

    That's three goals in his last four games for David Nugent. A decent start to his Boro career for the man signed from Leicester for a reported £4m in August.

    What a start for Middlesbrough, and it's David Nugent with the opening goal after 121 seconds.

    Christian Stuani twists and turns on the right wing and puts in a cross for Nugent, who controls the ball and slams it home from close range.

    Leeds, having broken from their pre-match huddle, get us under way on Teesside.

    Both sides in their home kits - Middlesbrough in red, Leeds in white.

    Apologies to any England rugby fans if those colours give you any unwanted flashbacks to last night...
