Whyte almost immediately gets into a promising position, but Tommy Rowe snuffed out the danger

Gavin Whyte replaces Lee Tomlin.

The natives did not like Tomlin going off one bit

Cardiff are having to throw bodies forward and that might leave them exposed.

Lee Tomlin just prevented Bristol running clear, while at the other end Bogle fired wide

Josh Brownhill was a fitness doubt for this game, but Bristol City will be delighted that the talented midfielder made it.

This game has been crying out for a goal, and it is the Robins who have it thanks to a dipping, swerving drive from Brownhill which left Cardiff keeper Neil Etheridge grasping at thin air.

In truth the goal came against the run of play, but the visiting contingent do not care.

Now Cardiff must find a response.

Now Andi Weimann comes close for Bristol City as his shot is well held by Neil Etheridge.

The visitors have exploded into life

What a hit from Brownhill. He's crashed that one home from 25-yards, with the ball dipping just under Neil Etheridge's crossbar.

Kasey Palmer replaces Marley Watkins as the visitors make the first change

Now Bristol City come close as Callum O'Dowda's shot is blocked at close range.

Suddenly this contest is action-packed.

Omar Bogle must do better there, Cardiff work a nice move, Mendez-Laing pulls the ball back and Bogle's tame effort is blocked in the penalty area.

Now Leandro Bacuna takes his turn to rattle the Bristol City crossbar with a stinging long-range effort.

Very unlucky it didn't result in a goal.

Omar Bogle heads wide from Joe Bennett's cross. Cardiff are increasing the pressure without looking particularly threatening.

Both sides are searching for some attacking inspiration with this game goalless early in the second half.

But who will provide it? Cardiff are without their two leading scorers, Danny Ward and Joe Ralls, as well as £5.5m summer recruit Robert Glatzel.

The Robins, meantime, are without Benik Afobe and Famara Diedhiou.

This game needs someone to step up and provide a moment of quality to break the deadlock.

Omar Bogle hits a freekick straight at Bentley from 30-yards.

He was going for that knuckleball style freekick, but it was more like a change-up. That's your very niche MLB pitching reference for the day, cheers.

Very late from Tommy Rowe on Lee Tomlin. No complaints.

Pressure mounting. Cardiff force a corner, Ashley Williams cleared with Omar Bogle poised.

Then Cardiff keep the pressure up and they force another corner with a scramble in the box, Daniel Bentley was forced to intervene.

Junior Hoilett cuts in again but this time his effort is miles over.

Omar Bogle needs players around him, supporting him. He started to get that as the first half wore on.

Ouch. Calllum O'Dowda catches Junior Hoilett on the ankle. It was a fair attempt to play the ball, but looked painful.

We are back under way
