David Brooks goes close for Bournemouth and is denied by a smart save from David Raya.

Corner to the Cherries from the right but headed away from danger by Ethan Pinnock.

Bournemouth just reminding their hosts just how they can quickly they can turn defence into attack.

Bit more of a patient contest now this one which is understandable considering the pace the first half was played at.

Sergi Canos again has a shooting chance for Brentford as he shows sme quick feet to shift it on to his right from the D.

But, this time this effort skews harmlessly high and wide from a Bournemouth perspective.

It's all Brentford at the moment.

Mathias Jensen lifts a lovely ball over the top of Bournemouth's defence into Rico Henry's path but the full-back can't keep the ball down as it bounces up.

Ivan Toney goes to ground under pressure from Lloyd Kelly, but nothing given.

Brentford go close to taking the lead in similar fashion to how Bournemouth did in the first half.

Ball finds itself on the left to Sergi Canos who sends a low teasing ball across the face of goal.

But, it's a Bournemouth shirt that receives it and eventually the visitors clear the danger.

Nice passing move from Bournemouth around the Brentford penalty area sadly breaks down as Adam Smith can't get the ball under control.

Behind it goes for a goal kick after he looked like getting some space down the right from David Brooks' pass.

A more understated start to this second half compared with the first.

Brentford almost engineered another opening as Bryan Mbuemo strode forward to the edge of Bournemouth's penalty box.

But his ball fails to finds the feet of Ivan Toney.

Right - here we go again.

No changes to either side from the first half as they both look to find another goal that could set them up for a big win.

Almost time to get back under way at Brentford and before we resume, here's how some of you have seen it so far...

Nick Bruzon: 1-1 at HT and Brentford in the ascendency. After the opening 8 minutes I'll take that (and party). Bournemouth should have been out of sight.

There's been a departure from Watford as well today.

The Hornets have confirmed midfielder Etienne Capoue is bound for La Liga.

Millwall may well have been out-of-action for the past 11 days due to Covid-19 cases at the club, but some good news out of The Den today as two of their stalwarts extend their deals.

Time to round-up some news for you from today across the division.

We'll start with Brentford's west London neighbours QPR, who sadly reported their player Bright Osayi-Samuel received racist abuse during their match at Norwich on Tuesday.

Normally, we'd signpost you to some of the other action also on right now, but the scheduled Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham this evening was postponed at late notice.

New coronavirus cases at the west London club saw Fulham request for the fixture to be postponed and the decision was confirmed just three hours before kick-off.

Later on though, Newcastle United are due to host leaders Liverpool at St James' Park in a 20:00 GMT kick-off.

Don't forget - this is the first of a double bill of Championship fixtures to round off 2020.

Once we're done and dusted here in west London, we'll be off to South Wales as second-placed Swansea host sixth-placed Reading.

We'll have all the build-up from the Liberty Stadium after we've mopped up the reaction from this one.

And that ends a terrific first half at the Brentford Community Stadium.

So good to see that this match has so far lived up to the (Phillip) billing.

Dominic Solanke's strike for Bournemouth was cancelled out by Henrik Dalsgaard's header for Brentford and there could easily have been a few more goals to add to them.

More of the same please after the break!

Two minutes being added on at the end of the first half...

Mathias Jensen has a go on his right-foot from distance but that's comfortably wide of Asmir Begovic's left post.

Lloyd Kelly shows off his long-throw skills this time as Bournemouth try and heap some pressure back on Brentford.

Ball breaks to David Brooks for a shot outside the penalty area but David Raya is able to gather it above his head after a deflection takes some of the pace off.

Brentford win another corner but Mathias Jensen's outswinger is headed clear by Jack Simpson.

The hosts seemingly finishing this half the stronger side.

Lewis Cook is the first name in the referee's book for a bit of petilence as he bundles Sergi Canos to the ground.

Very silly there from the Bournemouth midfielder.

Junior Stanislas goes to ground as he tries to race on to Jack Simpson's ball over the top.

Nothing doing for referee Jarred Gillett and also Stanislas looked a touch offside from the pass too.

Terrific stuff in this match so far.

Bournemouth concede for the first time in more than five matches and eight hours of football.

But, where's this one going to go next?
