Jazz Richards with a threatening ball towards the back post and Rickie Lambert.

But, Leeds are there to head clear and Pontus Jansson gets ahead of the former Southampton man.

Leeds without the quality in the final third this time.

A couple of balls in from either side for the visitors, but Cardiff are there to shepherd it clear on both occasions.

Half a chance early on for Cardiff for Aron Gunnarsson. 

Attempted shot from the Icelander with the long throw and impressive beard comes to nothing though as it's cleared by the Leeds defence.

Off we go again as the sun continues to shine in Cardiff. No changes for either side.

Will we see a breakthrough in this half?

"The atmosphere was beginning to simmer at the end of the first half, with Leeds fans feeling aggrieved about yellow cards for Hadi Sacko and Luke Ayling.

"Their side have been off the pace for much of this match, but have been a threat on the counter-attack, with Pablo Hernandez and Chris Wood both forcing Ben Amos into saves.

"Cardiff, for all their possession, cannot find a way through. Sean Morrison and Aron Gunnarsson have both hit the post, meaning there have still been no goals scored at this stadium by a Cardiff player this season."

"There's not a great deal between the teams at the end of the half.

"Probably, on the first 25 minutes Cardiff have slightly scraped it and they have hit the post twice, although the best chance fell to Leeds' Chris Wood.

"But this game has got better and better so let's hope that continues."

And that's the interval.

Not a lot of chances to be fair, but Cardiff have struck the post twice and will feel they've shaded that first 45 minutes.

Chris Wood came closest for the visitors with a shot from the edge of the area, but it's as you were in South Wales.

Two minutes time added on at the end of this first half.

Off the post again for Cardiff!

Ball in from the free-kick by Peter Whittingham comes off the boot of Aron Gunnarsson this time.

The Iceland midfielder sees his right-foot effort roll against the left post and Rob Green was stranded for Leeds.

Luke Ayling in the book for Leeds in the closing stages of this half.

Very late challenge from the former Bristol City man on Jazz Richards as he tried to keep the ball in touch down the left side.

Ayling potentially lucky that it was just a yellow.

Ben Amos quickly on to snaffle the ball away from Stuart Dallas for Leeds.

Hadi Sakho was busy down the right for the visitors as he forced the ball inside.

More pressure from Cardiff as they force another corner.

Good delivery from Peter Whittingham as it comes back out to him. Rickie Lambert then tries to get his head on a ball back in. 

Off target though and the flag also goes up for offside.

A goal down in Devon, but still nothing to report in the goalmouths of the Cardiff City Stadium.

More whistle from Graham Scott as he has words with the players in midfield or some over-enthusiastic challenging.

That's better.

Leeds combine well up top with Pablo Hernandez and Chris Wood. Wood unleashes a shot from the edge of the box as he latches on to Hernandez's ball in, but he shoots straight at Ben Amos.

Wish things were as exciting here in Cardiff.

Not a lot to shout about really apart from some breaking up of the rhythm by referee Mr Scott with some needless free-kicks.

Ironic cheers from the Leeds fans as a decision finally goes their way.

Anyone think they're excited at St James Park?

Cardiff, meanwhile, for all their signs of endeavour in the opening exchanges are now just having to sit back a touch.

Couple of corners have been forced, but still no real quality in the delivery.

Plenty for Paul Trollope to ponder so far on the home side bench.

Matt Connolly carelessly gives the ball away for Cardiff to Pablo Hernandez.

He unleashes a right-foot shot from outside the box and Ben Amos palms it behind for a corner.

Comes to nothing for Leeds, but Garry Monk will be encouraged by the last couple of minutes.
