    Salford's Bruno Andrade sees his name in lights as he strikes from range but it's well off-target.

    That could be the last attempt.

    Pompey look the fresher, slightly.

    Salford need another block, this time from Jordan Turnbull, to stop Ronan Curtis' effort from causing problems.

    The League Two side have Tom Clarke down injured and he's replaced by 18-year-old Liam Loughlan.

    We're five minutes from penalties.

    Portsmouth 0-0 Salford

    Salford fluff their lines while trying to clear a corner and Tom Naylor's shot is blocked.

    The Portsmouth man has his head in his hands but his effort looked goalbound.

    Fatigue is making it difficult for some players to kick the ball properly!

    Portsmouth 0-0 Salford

    Kenny Jackett's Portsmouth keep the ball nicely as they build an unsuccessful attack, while Salford counter-attack quickly, with Jason Lowe's tired shot dribbling wide.

    What energy reserves do these players have left?

    Portsmouth 0-0 Salford City

    If you're only just tuning in to these updates from Wembley don't go thinking it's been a match short on incident just because it's still goalless.

    Portsmouth goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray is the main reason for that having made about half a dozen superb saves to deny Salford.

    Eight minutes gone in this first period of extra time as Richie Towell has to make way for Mani Dieseruvwe.

    Portsmouth 0-0 Salford City

    Portsmouth midfielder Tom Naylor gets a yellow card as he tangles with Salford forward Brandon Thomas-Asante.

    Not good signs for their midfielder Richie Towell either as he goes down needing some lengthy attention from the physio.

    Portsmouth 0-0 Salford City

    Both sides out of the traps again with a bit of urgency.

    Ronan Curtis nearly gets the chance for a shot on goal from Marcus Harness' low cross from the right.

    But that's a fine sliding block by Salford centre-back Tom Clarke inside his own area.
