No need for the build-up there. Clattered into the wall.

Arnaut Danjouma and Andy Rinomhota tangle. Off the ball.

Then Jefferson Lerma thunders forward and teases Rinomhota into a foul. Bournemouth free-kick.

Central position, about 22 yards out.

Reading's holding midfielder Andy Rinomhota is like a cartoon dog chasing a postman whenever Dominic Solanke gets in between the lines. As soon as he hears the proverbial gate-click he's out to snaffle.

Solanke forced wide when he had the box in front of him. All down to the pressure.

Where will Bournemouth get their inspiration from?

Oh, what at opportunity for Charlton!

Omar Bogle gets brought down in the Gillingham box but Conor Washington sees his penalty kept out by Jack Bonham, diving to his right.

Suffocating defence by Reading, they just swamp their defensive third and invite pressure.

Bournemouth get to the edge of the box but lack a bit of patience to unlock the lines.

Sone Aluko is everywhere for Reading, getting back to track Junior Stanislas down in his full-back position, and then driving forward to set up a counter-attack.

Typifying the Reading effort.

Gillingham's turn to go close in League One as Vadaine Oliver is denied by a stunning Ben Amos save, the Charlton keeper diving almost backwards to scoop the ball clear.

We're now also under way in neighbouring Sussex as Crawley face Carlisle in League Two.

Lloyd Kelly has gone to left-back with Mepham in the centre of defence in Bournemouth's shuffle.

The big news is David Brooks has taken off his baselayer and gone short-sleeves.

Diego Rico is coming off, and Chris Mepham coming on for Bournemouth. Might be a switchabout there.

Anyway, we're off. Bournemouth kick-off.

Five subs that is, to implement should the two managers need it in this second, after the English Football League amended the rules in time for this weekend's games.

Second-tier clubs can name up to nine substitutes in matchday squads, with seven for the bottom two divisions.

The saying 'possession is nine-tenths of the law' does not ring true in this game.

SIXTY-NINE percent of the ball has meant absolutely nothing to Bournemouth in a first half where they huffed and puffed, but could not blow the Royals down.

Reading are a lesson in economy of effort. Two goals, two shots on target. Two-tally satisfying for Veljko Paunovic.

So, Reading lead 2-0 at Vitality Stadium and two goals at either end of the half proves the difference.

The home side were behind early on when Asmir Begovic lopped down Alfa Semedo and Lucas Joao stepped up to rattle home from the spot.

Bournemouth dominated possession and continued to tap away at the Royals' armour but failed to make it count...

...and it proved costly, as a strike by Sone Aluko doubled the lead. Advantage Reading, the league leaders.

Junior Stanislas wraps a brilliant foot around the ball and whips it over the wall but Rafael dives across to beat away.

David Brooks clipped by Omar Richards on the edge of the Reading box... free-kick.

No goals in Kent so far, but Charlton have gone mighty close to taking a first-half lead.

Marcus Maddison tries his luck with a free-kick from long range and is only denied a stunning opener by the crossbar.

Bournemouth yet to be beaten at home this season and yet they're 2-0 down here.

They've been the dominant side but not enough chances created.

It's been a definite 'away' performance from Reading. Textbook execution.

Alfa Semedo goes down and gets some treatment. Now he's trying to run off an injury.

Reading will be chuffed with that. They soaked up so much pressure and then hit Bournemouth with a snap-shot.

Four minutes of added time.

Lucas Joao has done plenty of defensive work so far, like a totem pole at the near post to nod balls away from danger.

Reading coping comfortably, their full-backs in particular running themselves into the ground so far.

Bournemouth carve their way into the Reading box through Dominic Solanke, bundling his way through Liam Moore but his cut-back is blocked behind.

Junior Stanislas plays the short corner to Jack Stacey and it zips straight to Rafael.

Another short-corner, another disappointing outcome.

Tomas Esteves blocks Arnaut Danjuma's break on the opposite side and Bournemouth get another corner.
