Osman Kakay and Bright Osayi-Samuel almost combine to perfection down the QPR right and create a good chance, but the final ball is just slightly overhit and rolls out for a goal kick.

Those two have been two of the brighter sparks out there so far tonight, showing some clever touches.

Now the Sky Blues win a corner, which is floated in from the right and finds the head of Leo Skiri Ostigard, but his header is straight at the keeper.

Coventry's first attempt at goal comes on the counter, down their left, but Ryan Giles' effort is deflected tamely wide.

It's nights like this when we all really, really miss the crowd.

For Coventry's first home fixture back in the Championship, their fans would surely be - in normal circumstances - making a cracking noise in this otherwise dull first half.

QPR have had 68% of possession and the vast majority of that has come in the middle third of the pitch.

Coventry seem quite content to bide their time.

Still it's QPR who are seeing most of the ball, but mostly in a deep position.

After a brighter passage of play, Luke Amos has an effort from range blocked, and I make that the game's and QPR's second attempt at goal, as we reach a quarter of the way through this contest.

After their win last Saturday, a QPR victory tonight would see them win both of their opening two league games for the first time since the 2016-17 campaign.

And the fact I'm reeling off stuff like that probably tells you exactly how quiet the action on the pitch has been so far.

With 15 minutes gone, there's just been the one shot to report so far - Bright Osayi-Samuel's early effort that swerved straight at the keeper.

Hopefully the game will spark in to life soon.

This is Coventry and QPR's first meeting since January 2011, when QPR were top of the Championship with Adel Taarabt as the star man. Remember him?

The hosts can't seem to hold on to possession at the moment, with QPR dominating the ball so far.

Bright Osayi-Samuel swerves a shot at goal from just outside the box, but it's slightly too central and is held by Sky Blues keeper Marko Marosi.

The sound of players shouting to each other echoes around an empty St Andrew's. On the pitch, QPR look sharp in these early stages.

Off we go then. The hosts are in their Sky Blue home strip.

QPR are wearing red shirts, black shorts and black socks.

The teams are out at St Andrew's, where the sun has now set and the floodlights are beaming brightly.

To remind you, there are no fans in attendance, although there will be up to 1,000 supporters at seven selected EFL games tomorrow.

This game couldn't be among them because of the high coronavirus infection rate in Birmingham at the moment.

Unfortunately, rights restrictions mean we cannot bring audio commentary of this game to you online.

However, as ever, you can listen to full commentary on BBC local radio, if you're in either of the local relevant areas.
