  1. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 59 mins

    Lincoln City 0-0 Exeter City

    Lincoln hit the bar. Matt Rhead gets the run on Pierce Sweeney and the big Lincoln targetman heads against the woodwork.

    The Imps have really taken control since half-time - what can Exeter boss Paul Tisdale do to try and change it?

    Lincoln City 0-0 Exeter City

    Lincoln set off an air-raid warning sound every time they get a corner and with the big men they have in the box it does seem like some sort of bombardment.

    Exeter have done well to weather the storm so far, but at times it is a bit nervy.

    Boreham Wood 1-1 Tranmere

    Almost the perfect start to the second half for Tranmere! Connor Jennings and Andy Cook both have dangerous close-range efforts dealt with by Boreham Wood at the last minute.

    They certainly look fired up after their return.

  4. KICK-OFFpublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 12 May 2018

    Boreham Wood 1-1 Tranmere

    We are back under way at Wembley.

    Can 10-man Tranmere return to the English Football League? Or are Boreham Wood on their way to reaching the top four tiers for the first time in their history?

    Lincoln City 0-0 Exeter City

    Elliot Whitehouse gives away a free-kick and the Lincoln fans give the referee more stick.

    His foot was a bit high but it connected with Jordan Moore-Taylor's head when the centre-back was stooping to head the ball.

    Close again for Lincoln!

    Matt Rhead flicks on to Matt Green and the striker's effort is saved again by Christy Pym - this time his legs - and Elliot Whitehouse's effort on the rebound goes over the bar.

    Lincoln City 0-0 Exeter City

    Not sure what Danny and Nicky Cowley have said to their players at half-time, but it's had an effect.

    Lincoln have come flying out of the traps here and almost had a second chance in the opening couple of minutes, but Harry Anderson can't get a decent connection on it.

    Lincoln City 0-0 Exeter City

    Good save by Christy Pym. The Exeter keeper had to be alert as Matt Green fires across goal from close range and the former England Under-20s man deflects it wide for a corner.

    Undoubtedly the best chance of the game so far right at the start of the half.

    Time for the second half and Lincoln will get this second period under way.

    Boreham Wood 1-1 Tranmere

    Boreham Wood rarely threatened despite their one man advantage after Tranmere's Liam Ridehalgh saw red inside the first minute, but Bruno Andrade's goal deep into first-half stoppage time levels things up on the stroke of half-time.

    Tranmere have already made all three of their substitutions and Boreham Wood look like fighting back.

    A big second half follows.

  11. All square in League One play-offpublished at 15:56

    HT: Lincoln City 0-0 Exeter City

    They say the play-offs always provide drama and today's first game was no exception as Cameron McGeehan scrambled in a late equaliser to earn Scunthorpe a 2-2 draw in the first leg of their League One play-off semi-final with Rotherham.

    Rotherham went in front when Jon Taylor fired home but Scunthorpe levelled immediately when Michael Ihiekwe turned Duane Holmes' chip into his own net.

    Substitute Joe Newell drove in with his first touch to put the Millers ahead once again, but McGeehan's first goal for the Iron ensured the tie is level going into Wednesday's second leg.

    Bruno Andrade (45+7 mins)

    Bruno Andrade, Boreham Wood's top scorer this season, calmly sidefoots home as he's found completely unmarked inside the box.

    What a crazy first half this has been.

    Whatever happens over these two leg, Exeter City's future certainly seems bright.

    In the past year the Grecians have made more than £3.5m in transfer fees - to put that in context the rest of League Two's 23 clubs earned somewhere between £4m and £4.5m between them.

    The home fans have been imploring their team to step it up a level and taking out their frustrations on referee Ben Toner, who they feel is having a stinker.

    "You don't know what you're doing", is the chant that rings around the ground after a couple of penalty claims are ignored.

    And Danny Cowley was clearly not entirely happy with the ref either. He went on to the pitch to usher his players away from Mr Toner but couldn't resist having a word himself.

    I doubt it was to congratulate him on his performance so far.

    An entertaining but goalless first half comes to an end here.

    Exeter have had the best clear-cut chances through Jayden Stockley, but Lincoln will feel they should have had more from the referee after a couple of edgy challenges in and around the penalty area.

    A bit of controversy here. Exeter defender Dean Moxey cuts across the run of Harry Anderson and the young attacker goes down in a heap.

    The referee gives nothing and the home fans go nuts.

    What a miss. Beautiful ball into the Lincoln box by Hiram Boateng and Jayden Stockley missed the ball as he tries to flick it in karate-style.

    It is the sort of chance that's been meat and drink for Exeter's top scorer this season.

    And then 30 seconds later Stockley has another chance - tougher than the first - a high ball over the top that he takes well, but puts it well over the bar from a tough angle under pressure.

    Pierce Sweeney has a shot blocked for Exeter after a period of ping-pong in the Lincoln penalty area.

    It's starting to get tasty at Sincil Bank now.

    Penalty shout? Lincoln have two in a minute. First Luke Waterfall feels he is fouled of the right of the box, then Matt Rhead goes down under a strong challenge from Jordan Moore-Taylor.

    Nothing given for either.

    Boreham Wood 0-1 Tranmere

    Bruno Andrade tries his luck from long range but it's an easy save for Tranmere keeper Scott Davies.

    Meanwhile, just 10 days after he coming out of hospital, where he was treated for an illness, Rovers midfielder Connor Jennings comes on for Josh Ginnelly,
