Nathan Ake hits a straightforward pass straight out of play.

The pace has dropped off a little as we approach the final five minutes of the first half.

DeAndre Yedlin feeds Perez, who floats a teasing ball towards Rondon in the area.

Miguel Almiron is also in a good position, but Perez is unable to pick out either of his team-mates and Bournemouth clear.

Another Matt Ritchie cross from the left is collected by Artur Boruc.

The former Bournemouth man's delivery hasn't been great this afternoon. Both sets of players are struggling with the conditions, in fairness.

Matt Ritchie makes a beeline for the penalty area but his low cross is hoofed clear by Chris Mepham.

Both Fraser and Hayden seem to have shaken off their respective injuries.

Isaac Hayden has gone down now. The midfielder is clutching his right knee but it appears to be just a knock.

Yoshinori Muto was getting ready to come on but the Japan international won't be entering the fray just yet.

It was a fair challenge by Hayden but Fraser's right ankle just seemed to buckle under the midfielder's challenge.

Newcastle, eager to take advantage, come forward through Ritchie, but his curling cross evades Salomon Rondon and Ayoze Perez and gifts possession back to Bournemouth.

Ryan Fraser doesn't look too comfortable at the moment. Eddie Howe will hope the 25-year-old can shake off the injury.

Not good news for Bournemouth fans.

Ryan Fraser, who was given some rough treatment by Huddersfield's players last weekend, is down clutching his ankle following Isaac Hayden's robust tackle.

Fraser is back on his feet, but will he be able to carry on?

Oof!

Jefferson Lerma catches Ayoze Perez with a late challenge and receives a yellow card for his troubles.

Newcastle players aren't happy - they're appealing for a red.

The Colombian appeared to lose his balance slightly as he slid in on Perez.

Miguel Almiron tees up Ayoze Perez, but Artur Boruc gets down low to his right to save the Spaniard's shot.

Bit of a tame effort by the former Tenerife man.

The Newcastle fans are down in good number - and good voice - after a long journey to the south coast. And while the wind's not quite gale force, it's gusting enough to blow litter on to the pitch.

And in a nice moment, Matt Ritchie received a warm round of applause from the home end - remembering the sterling service he gave Bournemouth for three and a half years - as he went to take Newcastle's first corner.

Ryan Fraser bursts forward down the left before finding Joshua King, who wriggles past several Newcastle challenges and earns his team a corner.

The delivery is a poor one, though, and the Magpies clear their lines.

Mo Diame wins Newcastle's first corner.

Ritchie's delivery finds Ayoze Perez at the near post, but Bournemouth manage to clear the danger and the Cherries can break...

DeAndre Yedlin races clear down the right flank, but Charlie Daniels does brilliantly to track the American's run and manages to block the cross, which Artur Boruc collects.

While operating as a left-wing-back may look alien to Matt Ritchie, who usually plays on the right wing (despite being left-footed), he in fact made his Bournemouth debut at left-back at Milton Keynes in February 2013, coming on as a substitute for injured captain Tommy Elphick.

Ryan Fraser goes within a whisker of opening the scoring for Bournemouth.

Joshua King releases the Scotland international with a perfectly weighted through-ball, but Fraser's effort brushes the outside of the far post.

Huge let-off for Newcastle.

Ryan Fraser beats Paul Dummett on the left of the penalty area before whipping in a cross which flies straight into Martin Dubravka's arms.

The 25-year-old is in the wars moments later after being caught by Ayoze Perez's high boot.

The Newcastle man is shown the game's first yellow card by Mike Dean.

Bournemouth are enjoying their first decent spell of possession.

Eddie Howe's side are playing into the wind in the first half. Conditions aren't exactly ideal at the Vitality Stadium.

Matt Ritchie does well to keep the ball in play before attempting to find Salomon Rondon in a good position, but the former Cherries player overhits his cross.

Bright start by the Magpies.

The visitors have started confidently and Isaac Hayden forces Artur Boruc into action with a daisy-cutter from the edge of the box.

Easy save for the Bournemouth custodian.
