    If you're just tuning in, after a slow start, Bristol City's best chance fell to Jamie Paterson but he tucked over the back from close range.

    Since then, Derby have created the better of the openings and have gone close on several occasions.

    Johnny Russell's powerful free-kick against the crossbar has been the Rams' best effort, but Curtis Davies has also seen a header cleared off the line.

  4. HALF-TIMEpublished at 45+1 mins

    Off they go for the half-time break. Derby are frustrated that they're not in front.

    Derby County 0-0 Bristol City

    Matej Vydra weaves in between two defenders on the edge of the Bristol City area, but his shot is blocked. It's another Aden Flint block. He's been solid once again.

    Just one minute of added time awaits us.

  6. GREAT SAVE!published at 43 mins

    Derby County 0-0 Bristol City

    How have Bristol City got out of jail here?! Frank Fielding gets an arm to Richard Keogh's effort from just a few yards out. Then it's a real mess in the Robins box as they're all over the place and Derby get two attempts in at goal... But in the end - despite Derby claims for a corner - it's over the bar and a goal kick.

    Johnny Russell's deep free-kick is aimed at Curtis Davies at the far post but it's a bit too high, lofty and wasted.

    Derby County 0-0 Bristol City

    Now Derby have yet another free-kick in an attacking position, this time out wide on the right, as Korey Smith bundles Johnny Russell over. No complaints from anyone in a Red shirt there.

    So close! Johnny Russell smacks the free-kick with real power but it comes back off the crossbar.

    The keeper was beaten.

    Big opportunity coming up now. Derby break very quickly and Tom Lawrence is clipped down inside the D by Bailey Wright's shoulder.

    Free-kick to Derby, right in line with the goal, 20 yards out.

    Bristol City appear to have come through that mini Derby storm. Frank Fielding and Aden Flint's interventions there could prove to be very valuable indeed.

  12. OFF THE LINE!published at 31 mins

    From the resulting corner, Aden Flint is the man in the right place at the right time, on the line, to keep out Curtis Davies' bouncing header.

    This is Derby's best spell so far.

    Matej Vydra keeps his free-kick low and it's heading for the bottom corner, but Frank Fielding gets down really well to turn it behind for a corner.

  14. YELLOW CARD (Bristol City)published at 29 mins

    Derby County 0-0 Bristol City

    Joe Bryan catches Johnny Russell with a fairly high boot and is booked. Free-kick to Derby. 25 yards out. Dangerous.

    Derby win another corner but this one is glanced clear by the head of Bristol City's Marlon Pack.

    The game is improving, slowly.

    Will that let-off wake Derby up? Maybe. They've got a corner down the other end.

    Jamie Paterson misses for Bristol CityImage source, Getty Images

    Bristol City should be ahead! Jamie Paterson blazes over from eight yards out when he had so, so much time and space, at the far post.

    It was slack defending from Derby, failing to clear a long throw, and it pin-balled to Paterson at the back post. He can do much better than that.

  20. Postpublished at 22 mins

    Derby County 0-0 Bristol City

    The balls falls nicely for Josh Brownhill in Derby's penalty area, after a mistake from Richard Keogh, but Curtis Davies does well to block the Bristol City midfielder's effort.

    That's the first proper chance.
