    Luton 2-3 Middlesbrough

    George Moncur's first touch is to block a stinging cross from Paddy McNair, not the introduction he'd have liked.

    Marcus Browne tricks Dan Potts down in the Luton left full-back position, is hauled down and it's a free-kick to Boro.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 74 mins

    Luton 2-3 Middlesbrough

    George Moncur - son of the silky ex-West Ham and Spurs man John - comes on for Callum McManaman.

    Luton not lost a game at home since March 2018... is that coming to an end tonight?

    That shot from Lewis Wing was postage stamp stuff. Top right, Royal Mail seal of approval.

    Meanwhile, Boro still forcing the issue, driving on and pressuring Luton.

    The vibe has cooled a little. That effort has taken the sting out of the home support. They must rally.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 69 mins

    Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    Harry Cornick comes on for Luton in the place of Andrew Shinnie.

    Then Marcus Browne replaces Marvin Johnson for Boro.

    GOAL: Luton 2-3 Middlesbroughpublished at 67 mins

    Lewis Wing

    Talk about Hot Wing. WOW.

    LEWIS WING is naga-level hot right now. He took a touch back to the edge of the box from Jonny Howson, and then hammered a searing, curling, swinging drive which beat Simon Sluga for pace and power.

    He had two sighters, and then unleashed that.

    Told you he could hit them. Cor blimey.

    Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    Purple patch for Boro, who just look a bit quicker to every 50-50 at the moment.

    Corner to come from the right from Marvin Johnson... we're all anticipant...

    It sails over to the opposite wing and it's a throw-in. Oh.

    Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    Dan Potts tries to buy about 10 metres with a throw before being told to go back to where it went out.

    Always makes me laugh that.

    Britt Assombalonga working on scraps at the moment, but the response by Matty Pearson to just bang it clear when the ball over the top comes in tells you they know the threat.

    Simon Sluga beat away a shot before as Luton were threatened by Boro, and a Hayden Coulson cross whizzed all the way through. Lewis Wing's shot deflected wide. Chances racking up for the visitors.

  9. YELLOW CARD - Wingpublished at 61 mins

    Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    Sneaky clip of Andrew Shinnie's wings in full flight earns Lewis Wing a yellow card. The Boro midfielder in the book.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 59 mins

    Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    Luton's Elliot Lee is replaced by a new signing in Jacob Butterfield.

    The former Derby midfielder is likely to sit in front of the back four as a screen for Graeme Jones' side.

  11. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 56 mins

    Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    Callum McManaman sent in another bewitching cross for Luton and Jonny Howson clears for Boro.

    Then from the corner, the ball is cleared so far as Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu whose shot was like a Tyson Fury right cross.

    Luton's Dan Potts went down on the edge of the box, roars for a penalty but again turned down.

    Jonathan Woodgate has sent his team out to get right up in Luton's faces, high lines and quick chase to press whenever they have the ball.

    Luton, to their credit, have looked capable on the ball and Martin Cranie body-swerved with all the arrogance of a Johan Cruyff a moment ago.

    Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    I don't know if Lewis Wing is just getting his eye in but his cleared the roof with a shot from distance. Boro fans politely applaud.

    He can welt them, I saw him rip one in against Palace in the League Cup last season.

    That one won't make his YouTube compilation.

  14. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 52 mins

    Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    Visiting winger Marvin Johnson teases his way down the right before flicking a ball into the path of Paddy McNair.

    His cross deflects off Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu and brushes the crossbar before rolling away.

    Not too much to trouble Simon Sluga, but close enough to rouse the Boro fans.

  15. YELLOW CARD - Collinspublished at 50 mins

    Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    James Collins, to add insult to injury - is booked for the incident too.

  16. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 48 mins

    Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    James Collins has a goal chalked off for Luton!

    Callum McManaman was hugging the touchline like a proper old-school winger, and he bends in a perfect height delivery.

    Collins went up, got there ahead of Darren Randolph and guided it towards goal but it's with the hand.

    Kenilworth Road brought back to earth with a bump by ref Oliver Langford.

    Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    Early pressure from Boro, down the left hand side with Hayden Coulson who had a couple of efforts to cross but Luton coped with it.

    They race down the other end as Andrew Shinnie picked his way through the tackles, Lewis Wing gets a foot to the ball to prod behind. Crucial touch.

  18. KICK-OFFpublished at 45 mins

    Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    Right, Oliver Langford draws on his pea whistle and we're off.

    Luton get us going again, in their orange and white shirts.

    HT: Luton 2-2 Middlesbrough

    Both sides in good spirits as they come out of the dressing rooms, 10/10 for entertainment but maybe 5/10 for defending...

    Still, keeps things open and lively.

    Expecting more of the same.

  20. Remembering Justinpublished at 20:48 British Summer Time 2 August 2019

    Tomorrow will be an emotional day for all at Leyton Orient as they remember the man who led them to a place back in this season's EFL.

    Justin Edinburgh's sudden death in June prompted a huge outpouring of emotion from football fans all over the country.

    Orient's first opponents of the season are Cheltenham, whose fans have produced their own tribute for tomorrow's match...
