    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    Brighton's strong finish to the half means the possession is now very much in their favour. The ball has been in their final third more often than Burnley's though.

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    That's it, all square at the break. Burnley started stronger but Brighton have very much got a foothold in the game now, with Solly March and Glenn Murray testing Nick Pope.

    Evenly poised heading into the second half at the Amex.

    Pascal Gross squares it just outside the box for Glenn Murray, whose strokes it towards the bottom corner first time, only for Nick Pope to save low to his left and turn it wide.

    Solly March pops up on the left now to whip in a great cross for Glenn Murray and, under pressure, the striker can't quite get enough on his header and he glances it across goal.

    Heavy touch in the box by Glenn Murray. It's probably going out anyway but Matt Lowton gives him a shove just too make sure. Needless that, especially in this age of VAR.

    Erik Pieters' cross from the left goes through to Aaron Lennon. He volleys it down into the turf but his shot is blocked. Was probably going wide anyway.

    More good play by Brighton as Solly March slips it down the right for Pascal Gross, whose cut-back fails to find a team-mate. The Seagulls keep the pressure on though.

    Brighton respond by going close twice in quick succession. Solly March gets in behind Dwight McNeil and squares for Pascal Gross to fire wide.

    Neal Maupay then exchanges passes with Dan Burn but can't quite latch onto the return ball into the Burnley box.

  15. CLOSE!published at 17 mins

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    Dwight McNeil wins another corner...again Ashley Westwood fails to beat the first man.

    Burnley get it back into the box and Jack Cork chests down James Tarkowski's header before hitting the ball across goal, with Ashley Barnes just unable to turn it goalwards.

    Oh, the Seagulls got a little lucky there.

    Another low centre by Dwight McNeil and Shane Duffy scuffs his clearance against team-mate Adam Webster and it goes a yard over the Brighton bar.

    McNeil hits a hopeful effort well over after Burnley play a short corner.

    Bit of possession for Burnley in the Brighton half. Results in Dwight McNeil whipping in a low cross from the left which Lewis Dunk does well to cut out. Chris Wood was offside anyway.

    Brighton 0-0 Burnley

    Ashley Barnes takes down a diagonal ball and from fully 25 yards out in the left channel he slashes it high and wide.

    That's the kind of shot you only take on when you're in form. But no joy this time for the four-goal striker.

    Brighton put together a decent move but the final ball is beyond striker Glenn Murray.

    Dwight McNeil's cross on the left is blocked for the game's first corner, which is headed clear at the near post.

    Matt Lowton then tries to thread it through to Chris Wood but defender Shane Duffy gets a touch on it and it goes through to keeper Mat Ryan. Turns out Wood was offside anyway.
