    Blackpool 3-2 Luton

    Blackpool certainly now seem content with a one goal lead to take to Kenilworth Road as they're not flying forward as much as they were.

    That could be tiredness mind, they have put in a shift tonight.

    James Cox: These League Two playoffs are so boring.

    After Huddersfield v Sheffield Wednesday earlier, we weren't feeling too optimistic. But both matches this evening have been outstanding!

    Carlisle 3-3 Exeter

    Nicky Adams almost completes the turnaround for Carlisle, who were trailing 3-1 not so long ago.

    Shaun Miller finds the midfielder, but his effort is blocked behind for a corner.

    Exeter keeper Bobby Olejnik punches the set-piece clear, and the visitors survive.

    The bumper crowd at Brunton Park have certainly got their money's worth this evening.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:11 British Summer Time 14 May 2017

    Blackpool 3-2 Luton

    Neil Danns now off for Blackpool with on loan Wigan winger Jordan Flores on for him.

    Gary Bowyer looking an anxious man despite his side leading.

    Blackpool 3-2 Luton

    Lots of possession from the men in white all of a sudden as Luton knock the ball around with some purpose.

    Blackpool just keeping them at an arm's length and looking to counter whenever they can from deep.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:07 British Summer Time 14 May 2017

    Carlisle 3-3 Exeter

    Finally Exeter have a couple pragmatic changes.

    Goalscorers David Wheeler and Joel Grant come off, with the more conservative Jack Stacey and Lee Holmes coming on.

    Is Paul Tisdale happy with a draw? Carlisle certainly look the more likely to find a winner, with 12 minutes left.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:06 British Summer Time 14 May 2017

    Blackpool 3-2 Luton

    Isaac Vassell's evening is done with Jack Marriott on for him up top for Luton.

    He already has 12 goals this season, he could do with getting a 13th to level up the night for his side.

    The intensity of this game has just gone down a few notches but you can't blame the players for that. 

    It's been 73 minutes of frantic pace for a lot of it.

  9. goal

    GOAL (S Miller)published at 20:02 British Summer Time 14 May 2017

    Carlisle 3-3 Exeter

    Lost for words.

    Nicky Adams, that cross was quality of the highest order - the midfielder comes in from the left and plays the ball in for substitute Shaun Miller, who heads home.

    It's two goals in a minute for Carlisle, and all of a sudden they look favourites!

    Blackpool 3-2 Luton

    Right Luton, what have you got?

    The way this game is panning out either side could still win this. Proper entertainment this evening.

  11. goal

    GOAL (O'Sullivan)published at 20:01 British Summer Time 14 May 2017

    Carlisle 2-3 Exeter

    An absolute freak goal...

    John O'Sullivan attempts a cross from deep, but overhits it and it loops over the helpless Exeter keeper Bobby Olejnik.

    Carlisle have a lifeline.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 19:58 British Summer Time 14 May 2017

    Carlisle 1-3 Exeter

    Another change for the hosts - George Waring is on for James Bailey.

    A defensive player off for Carlisle, who have made all their changes with 25 minutes left.

    And how about this - Exeter take off left-back Craig Woodman for striker Reuben Reid. How about that?!

    You cannot say this is not deserved for Blackpool who have dominated the game since Luton's second goal.

    A hat-trick for Mark Cullen against the side he left to join the Tangerines in 2015 as he coolly strokes home a penalty with the keeper going the wrong way.

    1-0 up. 2-1 down. 3-2 up. This is fun.

  14. PENALTYpublished at 19:57 British Summer Time 14 May 2017

    A chance for Blackpool to take the lead...

    Keith Southern
    former Blackpool midfielder on BBC Radio Lancashire

    This Luton back three are not great. Anything down the sides of them they look cumbersome and slow.

    It's an area where Blackpool can look to target if they get some quality in behind.

  16. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 19:55 British Summer Time 14 May 2017

    Carlisle 1-3 Exeter

    Exeter pile forward and have a man over - Joel Grant drills the ball across goal and Ollie Watkins lifts the ball into the roof of the net.

    It's an incisive break, but Carlisle are saved by the offside flag.

    Was it the right call? I can't tell from the replay, that's how close it was.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 19:54 British Summer Time 14 May 2017

    Blackpool 2-2 Luton

    The open nature of the game continues, with Luton looking to counter now after soaking up these Blackpool attacks.

    Gary Bowyer's side are not dominating as they were though.

    Alan Sheehan's handball stopping a through ball gets him the first yellow card of the game.

  18. Postpublished at 19:53 British Summer Time 14 May 2017

    Carlisle 1-3 Exeter

    Shaun Miller almost scores with his first involvement, beating a defender, but as he tries to round Exeter keeper Bobby Olejnik, he has the ball taken off him.

    Most managers would be screaming at their side to tighten up if they were two goals up away from home, but not Exeter manager Paul Tisdale...

    We pass the hour mark and Carlisle boss Keith Curle has decided to shuffle his pack.

    Michael Raynes is replaced by Shaun Miller - are the hosts going three at the back?

    A risky move, with a striker coming on for a defender.

    Blackpool fansImage source, Rex Features

    There has not been a lot for Blackpool fans to shout about in recent seasons as they have slid down from the Premier League to the fourth tier.

    But those inside Bloomfield Road in tangerine have certainly had been able to get at least a bit of joy you'd hope from the performance so far.
