    Matt Gilks. Hard as iron. He's patched up and he's ready to go again.

    At the other end, the free-kick from Jon Taylor's foul and yellow card follows. After it sails into the box and out, Funso Ojo manages to keep possession and he tries a long-range drive, but it's well blocked by Rotherham.

  2. YELLOW CARDpublished at 55 mins

    Scunthorpe 1-1 Rotherham

    Matty Taylor sends a free-kick into the box but Matt Gilks gathers well. The Scunthorpe keeper then throws the ball three quarters the length of the field and Jon Taylor picks up a yellow card for bringing down Ivan Toney.

    Meanwhile, Gilks stays down after that catch and mammoth throw. He looks hurt.

    Ivan Toney allows Funso Ojo the ball and he unleashes a shot which is rebounded out the box.

    Scunthorpe try their luck again, this time by delivering into the box and Rory McArdle heads goalbound from close range but Marek Rodak makes a pointblank save.

    That's perked things up a bit.

    Not a lot happening in the opening stages of the second half. Conor Townsend manages to beat several attempts to dispossess him before firing a tame shot towards goal from outside the box which is blocked away.

    Both sides are sussing each other out after their return to the pitch.

  7. Wembley defeat made us 'calmer'published at 13:30 British Summer Time 12 May 2018

    Boreham Wood v Tranmere (15:00 BST)

    It is almost a year to the day that Tranmere Rovers last played at Wembley, as they were defeated by Forest Green Rovers in last year's National League play-off final.

    But rather than that loss hang over their heads, Tranmere boss Micky Mellon says it's actually made them rest easier ahead of today's game.

    "A lot of people are thinking about the last time we were there than we are. All the questions I've had are about the last time we were at Wembley," Mellon told BBC Radio Merseyside.

    "That's a long, long time ago now and it's about looking forwards.

    "Even though we feel calmer, there's still a job to be done. We've felt it before and the vast majority of the team played last year."

    Boreham Wood v Tranmere (15:00 BST)

    Could Boreham Wood's stay in the National League end after three seasons as they chase the English Football League dream?

    Whether that happens or not, boss Luke Garrard says this could just be the beginning.

    "It's absolutely massive and what we've achieved at the football club on and off the field in recent years has been colossal," Garrard told BBC Three Counties Radio.

    "This is just rewards for the players. It's a massive achievement to get where we've got and we're not finished yet."

    Let's take a look at what both managers have to say ahead of kick-off at 15:00 BST.

    A tremendous ball from Joshua Emmanuel sails towards his Rotherham team-mate Michael Smith but he just can't get a touch on the ball as it rolls towards Matt Gilks.

    That could have been dangerous.

    The tempo has slowed down for a moment in this game after a frantic opening 20 minutes or so, but I'm still getting the sense it could all kick off again any minute!
