    Morecambe 0-0 Tranmere (2-1 agg)

    A cagey start to this match with the crowd really on Tranmere's backs whenever they get the ball.

    Liam Gibson puts a speculative cross in for Morecambe but it sails over the crossbar and out for a goal kick for the visitors.

    "But Jay, what if I want to listen to the action as well as read your ramblings? What if I want Andy Bayes?"

    Well now. I can't physically give you BBC Radio Lancashire's Andy Bayes but I can advise on radio commentary!

    Unfortunately rights restrictions mean we cannot bring you radio commentary on this page but if you're in the relevant catchment areas, you can follow all the action on BBC local radio.

    Andy is in position and his BBC Radio Merseyside counterparts are all over the tie as well.

    So if you're in the right neck of the woods, get your radio out.

    Look at these happy, happy people. Actually getting to go to the football instead of writing about it surrounded by the cold, congealed leftovers of a Eurovision takeaway..

    But this isn't about me.

    There will be a limited number of fans in attendance at the Mazuma Stadium today and how important will that be for Morecambe?

    There was a vociferous home crowd in Thursday's first leg at Prenton Park. Will the crowd make the difference for either side today?

    Well here we are again and a stellar week in the English Football League play-offs draws to a close.

    After the Championship and League One play-off finals were confirmed over the past two days, we've got the small matter of League Two left to complete the set.

    Morecambe welcome Tranmere to the Mazuma Stadium aiming to maintain their one-goal advantage from the first leg and head to Wembley for the final a week on Monday, 31 May.

    But can managerless Tranmere stop them? Kick-off is coming soon.
