    Leeds still in the ascendancy, Cardiff still heading and kicking away anything they put into the area.

    Leeds get a bit of luck with a couple of deflections seeing the ball break for the onrushing Jack Harrison six yards out but the Manchester City loanee slashes his effort high and wide.

    Another Leeds corner is headed away by the Cardiff defence.

    Centre-backs Curtis Nelson and Sean Morrison have been excellent for the hosts today.

    Leeds are not giving this up.

    Another goalmouth scramble sees the ball spin behind Cardiff keeper Alex Smithies but Sean Morrison is on hand to thump it away to safety.

    That probably sums up Leeds' afternoon.

    Tidy build-up play ends with Kalvin Phillips clipping a fine ball to the back post but Patrick Bamford can't quite direct it on target.

    Looking like it's not their day.

    You have to give Cardiff credit for their efforts today.

    They've lived on their nerves a couple of times but they have sat in a tight, resolute shape throughout and when Leeds have presented them with opportunities they have taken them wonderfully.

    Five minutes for Leeds to get back into it.

    There's no need for Leeds to panic if they can't turn this around in the final 10.

    Yesterday's results mean that even defeat today will leave them seven points clear of third-placed Fulham.

    Cardiff 2-0 Leeds

    Cardiff fashion another opening but Robert Glatzel can't get it out of his feet to shoot and the chance goes away.

    The Bluebirds have been ruthless with the two other real openings they've had in this match.

    Cardiff 2-0 Leeds

    Leeds have got to do something and quickly here.

    Helder Costa makes way for former Manchester City man Ian Poveda as the visitors look for a way back into this.

    Cardiff 2-0 Leeds

    Cardiff make their third sub of the day, meaning they still have two to go.

    Joe Ralls, who has got through a lot of work in midfield, makes way for Marlon Pack.

    Superb strike from the sub!

    Leeds are caught out playing out from the back and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing shows good initiative to clip it across for fellow sub Robert Glatzel and he smashes home a wonderful shot from 20 yards.

    Big ask for Leeds now if they're to get the point to take them back to the top.

    Cardiff, meanwhile, are closing in on those play-off places.

    Second drinks break of the day.

    Leeds have lost their way a little bit over the past few minutes and the hosts are coming into it again.

    Marcelo Bielsa does not have too many attacking options on the bench with Pablo Hernandez and Jean-Kevin Augustin both out injured.

    Cardiff 1-0 Leeds

    Some nice passing around the edge of the Leeds area ends with Joe Ralls dragging a low shot wide from 20 yards.

    Probably the first time we've seen a move like that from the hosts.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 64 mins

    Cardiff 1-0 Leeds

    Cardiff briefly threaten a counter attack but they are quickly outnumbered and it comes to nothing.

    You feel like they might get a few chances that way as the game goes on but they're going to need to be more clinical than that.

    To that end they take off striker Callum Paterson and winger Albert Adomah for Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Robert Glatzel.
