I think Hartlepool have got out of jail there. I don't think Brad James was strong enough.

That's harsh on Torquay.

A second Torquay goal is ruled out.

Kyle Cameron was climbing a little too much over keeper Bradley James.

Much better from Hartlepool as Mark Shelton nearly plays in Luke Armstrong but his cross is just intercepted.

Torquay need to hold firm.

Handbags off the ball.

Good referring from Simon Mather who calms the situation down before handing yellows to Rhys Oates and Joe Lewis.

Torquay have been successful in two of their previous eight play-off campaigns.

Hartlepool have never gone up this way in their five attempts.

On the pitch, things have a slowed a little. It's all very tense.

Hartlepool can't get the ball out of their own half.

All Torquay as Connor Lemonheigh-Evans has a shot which goes well wide.

Torquay are more than capable of getting back into this game and then stamping their authority on it.

They didn't finish second by accident - there are a few tricks up Gary Johnson's sleeve yet.

So close!

Dean Moxey sends in another cross which Hartlepool defender Timi Odusina almost turns into his own net.

What a start. Chaos at the back.

Significant tactical change here by Torquay.

Their big striker Danny Wright is now playing as the furthest man up front with Conor Lemonheigh-Evans in behind.

They had been the other way around in the first 45 minutes.

Torquay are starting this half like they started the first - on top.

Armani Little sends in a wicked cross which is only just hacked away.

One final push.

Referee Simon Mather ruled it out. He's about to get play restarted. The players are back out on the pitch.

They've shown a replay of Torquay's disallowed goal on the telly.

It looks like Joe Lewis pushed Rhys Oates as the cross was delivered which Kyle Cameron ultimately headed in.

There is contact, is it a soft one though?

That save from Lucas could be a turning point for the second half. Hartlepool could have been going in 2-0 up.

Torquay's game plan isn't working. They're trying to put the press on but they're getting picked off and passed around and they're looking a little bit ragged.

In the last five minutes it could have been game over. There were two good chances for Rhys Oates and he will be disappointed.

But Torquay early on had a couple of chances, so they were in it. But Hartlepool could have killed it off on the half-time whistle.

That's the last touch too.

What a half of footy. Torquay had an early goal disallowed, and Hartlepool punished their opponents with a proper forward's finish from Luke Armstrong.

The Pools are 45 minutes away from a return to the EFL.

Incredible save!

Rhys Oates rises highest and his thumping header is somehow tipped over by Lucas Covolan.

Somehow the Torquay stopper has kept his side in this game.

Hartlepool win a corner. This will be the last kick.
