    Hour mark passed and still goalless. Will United's relentless pressure finally tell?

    Cameron Dawson hangs on to a teasing John Fleck cross with both hands to relieve a few Wednesday nerves.

    Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Wednesday managing to press off the ball a lot higher than in the first half.

    United being forced back into their own penalty area and I reckon that's almost the first touches all night that Blades goalkeeper Dean Henderson has had!

    Oliver Norwood tries to carve out another telling through ball for Sheffield United but Michael Hector is alert to cover for Wednesday and marshal the ball away from danger.

    At the other end, meanwhile, Adam Reach has a pot shot with a half-chance on goal but that one is more out of Owen Farrell's conversion kicking routine if you get my drift.

    I think if Jos Luhukay makes it away with a repeat of the 0-0 scoreline he achieved in his last visit to Bramall Lane, it'll be even more of an achievement than the one in his first match in charge in January.

    David McGoldrick tries his luck at goal again form outside the Wednesday area but Cameron Dawson has an easy save to make.

    Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    More attacking intent from United in the early stages of this second half.

    No changes as yet from either side and there's a host of attacking options on both benches.

  6. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Of course a win for Sheffield United tonight takes them back to the Championship summit before Leeds play tomorrow.

    There's just over 30,000 inside Bramall Lane for this one. Will the majority be toasting a home win come full-time?

    Also a wet and windy evening in North London tonight where the FA Cup first round has got started.

    As mentioned earlier, BBC Two has live coverage as Isthmian League Haringey Borough are holding AFC Wimbledon from League One at 0-0.

    Dan Walker, Dion Dublin and Alex Scott are doing their best not to be swept away by the driving rain in the name of television!

    Cheer up David McGoldrick. You can't score every penalty.

    Probably little relief for the Sheffield United front man to be told that was a very good save by Cameron Dawson earlier in the game.

    How's this man feeling?

    Probably very relieved that his side are still level and also quite satisfied with the fight they've shown during a very difficult first half.

    Enough to ease some of the pressure on his job?

    Two contrasting pictures that sum up the key moment of that first half....

    Somehow it's goalless after that intense first 45 minutes.

    Will Sheffield United look back with regret on that David McGoldrick penalty save come full-time?

    Joey Pelupessy concedes a free-kick for a challenge on Mark Duffy and we have one additional minute at the end of this first half.

    Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Blades back in the groove coming forward and some lovely one-touch stuff around Wednesday's box almost carves out an opener.

    David McGoldrick with an absolute beauty of a back heel to Enda Stevens the highlight for me!

    Wednesday cling on though and clear a couple of dangerous corners.

    Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Adam Reach has been doing a lot of running off the ball for Wednesday in this first half but he's finally getting some time on the ball.

    Keeps popping up in wide areas for the visitors but Sheffield United are aware of that and get numbers back frequently to close the door.

    Wednesday once again with a decent spell on the ball which leads to a few frustrated whistles from the home crowd.

    No killer pass though through the United defence to open a half-chance up but Owls will be pleased to spend more time in possession than chasing it for sure.

    Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Wednesday with a rare sustained period of possession as Barry Bannan tries to spray a few passes around.

    United alert though when there's the slightest loose touch to win it back and try to launch another attack.

    Suddenly, it's all hands on deck once more in the Wednesday penalty area.

    I think for the first time - this game might have finally settled down.

    Been at least a couple of minutes since Sheffield United came surging forward with another attack.

    Wednesday will be relieved to still be level here in an intense first 30 minutes.

    Chris Basham with a fizzing cross from the right into Billy Sharp at the near post but he can't angle that header on target at pace.

    Lovely cross-field ball by Oliver Norwood earlier in the build up too for the Blades.

    Could well be right there Alex. Sheffield United continue to bombard Wednesday.

    A couple more corners for United and Oliver Norwood is the latest to fancy trying to hit the top corner of Cameron Dawson's net.

    Sails wide and into the travelling supporters behind the goal.
