A delicious ball in from Forest winger John Robertson could easily have led to a goal, but the cross evades everyone. Deserved a goal that.

Back under way again. Des Walker goes into the book almost immediately for a foul on Steve Bloomer.

We haven't seen much from Forest striker Stan Collymore so far. It's unusual for him to be quiet for an entire game.

There are plenty of options on the bench for both teams, but no half-time changes as the sides come back out. Seven subs named and three changes allowed.

Jamie O'Dowd: We'll nick this lads, keep it tight at the back. If we lose I'll just ctrl+alt+dlt and try again.

Ah, we don't play by those rules here, Jamie. Not when there's local pride at stake.

The second half is just a few moments away.

Some views from both bosses, who have been speaking to BBC East Midlands Today about the first half...

Forest manager Brian Laws: "We've been all over Derby and we've had a lot of chances, but not scored as many as we should have."

Derby manager Craig Ramage: "A little bit of a tactical change, we got back into it and hopefully now in the second half they'll be pulling the ball out of the net a bit more."

Remember, this is part of the build-up to Saturday's East Midlands derby between Derby and Nottingham Forest.

Because of the increased media interest in this contest, there's going to be a slightly longer half-time interval than normal.

We're likely to get going again in about 10-15 minutes.

Derby boss Craig Ramage is felling pretty chuffed with his own tactical genius and seeing his side draw level at 1-1 just before the break.

Ramage said: "Putting Kevin Hector closer to Steve Bloomer has worked a treat.

"He took his goal brilliantly and we can build on that. We needed to make that change, because we were nice and pretty without threatening that much."

David Hopkins: Steve Bloomer still deadly at 142 years of age. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

Darren Doherty: Bloomerrrrrrrr! #TheUltimateDerby #ramagein

Steve Bloomer's equaliser late in the first half has perked up those Derby fans.

Nottingham Forest boss Brian Laws says he is generally happy with the way things are going but wants more from his forwards.

"The creativity and possession have been great," Laws said. "But we have to do better with our finishing.

"I have no complaints about the offside goal, but we should have made more of our chances."

Relentless stuff so far, with flashes of quality. Forest have had eight shots on target to Derby's three. 

Derby have made a crucial one count to level things up, moments after Nigel Clough could have made it 2-0. All to play for, as they say.

Steve Bloomer may have more than 300 goals for Derby, but it's his first in 102 years. That's one long barren spell.

Here's what his stats say. A 20 rating (out of 20) for finishing - not to be sniffed at. No wonder he's valued at £51m...

Roy Keane played the ball through and Nigel Clough finished low into the corner. But midway through the celebrations, the former Derby County boss is flagged offside.

Archie Gemmill goes into the book too. Nothing too nasty. Repeated fouling again.

Kenny Burns goes close. Free header from a corner, but his near-post effort sails over.

Meanwhile, Derby go to a more traditional 4-4-2. Craig Ramage is concerned that all the possession football is leading to nothing.
