    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    One last dart by Jonny Howson earns a corner down the right for Boro.

    They will get one last dig...

  2. Postpublished at 90+4 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Neil Warnock has the fourth official deep in discussion with him, not that he seems to be listening.

    Frustration is the watchword on the Norwich bench.

  3. Postpublished at 90+3 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    It's a bit messy right now. Bookings, sloppy play.

    Daniel Farke looks like someone pinched his milk out of the fridge, such is the job Boro have done today.

    They'll get a point though at this rate.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 90+1 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Hacked away by Norwich as the free-kick came in.

    Onel Hernandez sizzles away on the break but is checked by Jonny Howson who collects a yellow card.

    Taking one for the team there.

    Max Aarons is down in back-play. Bloodied nose from first glance. Happened at the free-kick I think.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 89 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Dael Fry has been receiving treatment, and is replaced by Duncan Watmore for Boro.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 86 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Norwich's ball control and composure at times has been poor, Jonny Howson robbing Grant Hanley but his shot from the edge of the box zips over the top.

    Darnell Fisher is down. He's going to be withdrawn. Hayden Coulson is coming on.

    I expect the Norwich forwards will breathe a sigh of relief.

    Adam Idah replaces Teemu Pukki. A tough afternoon for the Finn.

  7. Postpublished at 85 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough looking to make the man advantage count after Emi Buendia's sending-off.

    Norwich just creeping forward, but George Saville slams to touch.

  8. Postpublished at 84 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Norwich trying to build down the left but Dimitris Giannoulis' cross is overhit and the visitors counter.

    It looks dangerous until Oliver Skipp came across and confidently shut down the play.

    Not long to go.

  9. Postpublished at 82 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Sam Morsy the latest Boro player to get in out wide, it's a fierce cross but taken by Tim Krul.

    Boro surge again, Jonny Howson dinks one to the back-post after he scorches into the box but Djed Spence is deemed to be offside.

    Not sure he was...

  10. Postpublished at 81 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Boro are finding gaps and space around the Norwich penalty area, at times it's glaring how much they have.

    Credit to the two centre-halves that when they have got at the hosts, Grant Hanley and Ben Gibson have stood firm.

  11. Postpublished at 80 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Wasteful free-kick by Norwich hands possession to Boro.

    Marc Bola shuffles past an opponent before straightening up and hitting at goal.

    Tim Krul takes it comfortably. He's been busier than his Boro counterpart.

  12. Postpublished at 78 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    This is the moment Norwich City's afternoon got a whole lot more difficult.

    We're edging towards the final 10 minutes.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 76 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Marvin Johnson drives toward the box and sweeps over a cross which Darnell Fisher connects with and it drifts over. Another positive Boro moment.

    Meanwhile, Todd Cantwell does go off, Onel Hernandez is on.

  14. Postpublished at 75 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Przemyslaw Placheta is not a good name to have to keep typing out.

    Certainly a test of touch typing skills.

  15. Postpublished at 74 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Rare opportunity for Norwich.

    Teemu Pukki holds the ball up out wide for Przemyslaw Placheta to burst onto, but his shot sears wide of the uprights.

  16. Postpublished at 71 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Don't get me wrong, Boro are doing a great job, but I was looking forward to seeing Norwich's creative unit working their magic from an entertainment perspective.

    The stellar performances at the moment are coming from Boro's midfield. Jonny Howson has been exemplary against his old club.

    League One update

    With the matches at Northampton and Walsall already postponed this morning because of waterlogged pitches, a third English Football League match has now be called off because of the same reason.

    Only an hour to go until kick-off, too. It's a fairly late call, by all accounts.

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Djed Spence scoots in for Boro down the right and cuts back a cross from the byline, but Grant Hanley is on hand to smuggle away for Norwich.

    They cannot make the ball stick up top, Teemu Pukki can't get in behind or get on the ball. Boro have been so well drilled.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 69 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    So Przemyslaw Placheta is coming on for Norwich, with Mario Vrancic making way.

    The Pole has a little man bun, but we'll forgive him that.

  20. RED CARD: Buendia (Norwich)published at 67 mins

    Norwich 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Second yellow for the Argentine midfielder Emi Buendia, he caught George Saville late and it's a costly one for Norwich.

    This is a major blow for the home side.
