How are the nerves, Carlos? How are the nerves, Owls fans?

Sheffield Wednesday are about 25 minutes away from a place in the play-off final at Wembley on 28 May.

The Owls have taken the sting out of Brighton's play in the last few minutes.

This time it's Brighton winger Anthony Knockaert into the book for a foul on Fernando Forestieri, who was marauding forward.

Brighton forward Jiri Skalak wastes an opportunity from the left-hand side from another free-kick, blasting the ball over the bar.

Kazenga LuaLua is on for Sam Baldock for the hosts. Will his pace stretch the Wednesday defence?

Brighton still need another two goals to progress.

Wednesday right-back Jack Hunt picks up a booking for time-wasting at a throw-in.

It's getting a bit niggly at the Amex.

Brighton winger Anthony Knockaert goes on a great run over the halfway line but can't quite thread the ball through to James Wilson.

Beram Kayal commits another foul, this time on Ross Wallace mid-way into the Wednesday half.

The visitors rush to Roger East asking for him the punish the Albion midfielder.

Kayal can count himself a bit lucky there.

Brighton create more problems for the Wednesday defence from the resulting free-kick but the Owls scramble the ball away.

Fernando Forestieri looks to counter-attack down the left but is cynically body-checked by Beram Kayal.

The Israeli goes into the book and can have no complaints about it.

"Sheffield Wednesday are just starting to exert a bit of control. They have good footballers in their team.

"Brighton couldn't keep the intensity (of the first half) up for 90 minutes. If they get a chance, they're going to have to make the most of it."

Sam Hutchinson gives away a free-kick for a foul on Albion midfielder Beram Kayal.

The Wednesday player shows a bit of dissent to Roger East, and gets a yellow card for his troubles.

Wednesday enjoy a good spell of possession in the Albion half, exchanging short passes, but they can't quite play Gary Hooper through on goal.

Brighton have gone off the boil slightly, over-hitting a couple of passes.

John Michael Poole: We (Sheffield Wednesday) have rode out luck in the half but still have the two-goal cushion. Next 15 minutes are vital.

Andrew Priestley: Great to see a strong Sheffield Wednesday challenging for promotion to the PL. They are too big to be outside of the top flight.

A nervous moment for Brighton as Wednesday come forward on the counter attack.

Barry Bannan looks to test David Stockdale from range and the Albion keeper spills his effort.

Fortunately for the hosts, no Owls player can take advantage.

Brighton striker James Wilson tries another shot on the turn from the edge of the area, but he can't get any power on his effort and it's straight at Keiren Westwood.

Brighton start the half on the front foot again, and force another corner.

It's overhit from Jiri Skalak but the Seagulls keep the ball alive.

It's worked back to Skalak, who forces Owls keeper Keiren Westwood into another save.

James Wilson pounces on the rebound, but his effort from a narrow angle is relatively tame.

The visitors have made a half-time change, with Sam Hutchinson coming on for midfielder Alex Lopez.

Sheffield Wednesday get the second half started at the Amex Stadium in this Championship play-off semi-final second leg.

The Owls are 45 minutes away from Wembley, and a final against Hull City or Derby County.

Brighton, meanwhile, need two goals. Can the Seagulls match the intensity of their first-half performance?

A reminder - no team has ever turned over a two-goal deficit from the first leg of a Championship play-off tie.

Tonight's winners will face either Hull City or Derby County in the Championship play-off final at Wembley on Saturday, 28 May.

The Tigers have the upper hand following a comprehensive 3-0 win at the iPro on Saturday lunchtime.

We will, of course, have live text commentary on that game as well.

While we have a moment of quiet here at half-time, here's a reminder of both club's play-off records.

The play-offs have not been a happy hunting ground for Brighton recently, as they lost at the Championship semi-final stage to Crystal Palace in 2013 and Derby County in 2014.

They'll need to score twice in the second half against Wednesday to avoid completing an unwanted treble.

The Seagulls also lost a second-tier play-off final to Notts County in 1991 although they won promotion to the Championship via the play-offs in 2004.

As for Wednesday, they have won all four of their past play-off games.

The Owls won promotion to the Championship in 2004-05 in their only previous play-off campaign.

The South Yorkshire side beat Brentford twice before overcoming Hartlepool 4-2 in extra time at the Millennium Stadium.

Holding out for a draw tonight would be enough for Carlos Carvalhal's side to reach Wembley.

John Pierce: Class play-off game, this. We're gonna have pen & red card. So much commitment out there, it's bound to come.

Daniel Woods: Brighton weren't clinical and decisive enough in the opening 20 minutes, credit to Wednesday for seizing the opportunity!

Stavros: Tell me if there's been all season a better half than this in all four divisions. Don't think so! Breathtaking is an understatement!
